New I find it strange that...
The Italians are known for producing one of the best administered empires in history, but are also known for very haphazard administration of government today... :-)

New A regime joke
Even during Fascism -- bundles or no -- Italy was not particularly well administered.

Here's a fascist regime joke my father remembers.
Consider the following 3 qualities. If any two are present in the same person, the third is necessarily excluded...

1. Honesty
2. Intelligence
3. Being a Fascist

New It is a little strange ...
Those ancient romans do seem more german than italian as far as organization goes. The Italian style of administrative chaos has matured over centuries of foreign and local misrule, graft, corruption and cynicism in the presence of incredible cultural wealth, and is indeed one of the wonders of Europe -- but even it pales in comparison to the millennially aged product that flourishes on the Indian subcontinent.
