Italy
From Transformers Wiki
Italy, formally the Italian Republic, is a Western European nation in the Mediterranean Sea. It's heavily involved in international bodies (including NATO), is a democracy with a high standard of living, and has been responsible for many cultural movements and influences such as the Romans, the Renaissance, and opera. Its capital is the city of Rome.
At some point, someone will edit a joke about pasta, the mafia, or Super Mario Bros into this page.

Notes
- Japanese moe idol Lyrian grew up in Italy, which seems to explain her choice to name the two Transformers she designed Angela and Rosanna, rather than something more conventional for a Transformer.
