I proposed to a friend that maybe Italy isn't ready to be an adult country yet - it needs a foster parent to hold its hand for a little while. He recommended Germany, but I pointed out that it didn't work out quite so well last time.
I was thinking more about Norway, the Netherlands or some scandinavian countries.. I understand your concern with Germany, we're quite some different countries now btw :)
I'd like to see the Scandinavian countries dealing with the mafia... no, not the one you see in movies that cuts horses' heads, but the one that blows up motorways.
