Venetoball, also known as Venetosquid, is a regionball of North-Eastern 
Italyball.
History
A couple of thousand years ago, an empire you've probably heard of called 
SPQRball conquered its way through the Italian boot, subjugating the local Veneti tribes living in the Venetian lagoon. As time marched on and SPQRball did its thing where it exploded in half, the Venetian lagoon was in a troubled situation. To its north was the 
Germanic tribes that waltzed their way to Rome and sacked it, and to its east was SPQR... wait, I mean 
Byzantine Empireball who wanted precious Rome back. All of Italy was retaken by Byzantium as a result. It, along with what would be the Papal States belonged in the province of the Exarchate of Ravennaball.
Where does our hero Venetoball fit into this? Glad you asked! The folks living in soon-to-be Venetoball wanted to be separate from Byzantium, so they asked politely and Byzantium obliged.
Serenissima Repubblica!
Now 
Veniceball was an independent republic, and they made BANK! When 
Constantinopleball was sacked in 1204, it took the opportunity to take some islands in the Aegean Sea. was getting super rich off of everyone who asked - (and I mean everyone). All glories come to an end at some point. 
Napoleon came strolling about being Napoleon and conquering everything and saw that Venice was a pretty nice target. So it took it. Now our serene republic is no more, but 
Venetoball's story doesn't end there.
Afterwards and Today
However in 1814 French First Republicball was defeated and Venice became a province of 
Austrian Empireball (Lombardy-Venetiaball). In 1848 he revolted as Republic of San Marcoball but it failed. Finally in 1866 he joined 
Kingdom of Italyball and later adopted by Italyball.
