How does Italy flip?

[SittingDuck]

So what is the event or mechanism that allows Italy to flip to an Allied status? Is it in fact a new nation altogether (not using the Axis Italy codes and stuff)?

Italy doesn’t really ever flip diplomatically.

Once Italy is conquered by the allies and Rome is held. A new Italy joins the allies.

It is possible for Italy to be conquered but then not flip to the allies until Rome falls.

Thanks. I was trying to find this new Italy in the scripting and could not. I guess that is what I am looking for.

Thanks for that last statement. Helpful.

I assume you mean when Italy surrenders to the USA and there are not enough German units near Rome to have them seize the remaining Italian territory. If so then here are the surrender scripts:
