[CQ-Contest] Repubblica Veneta

[Fabio IZ4AFW / NZ1W]

Don't worry guys,
    this was a totally unofficial ballot, and just something more than a 
joke.
While probably in the region some would like to get independent from 
Italy, that's for sure that it's not a simple process and is not going 
to happen soon. Independendist movements are present in the region since 
a long time, but they're still a minorance of total population.
Sorry for your DXCC :)

Ciao
