It's counter-intuitive, but look at the description. San Marino has been in existence for much longer than the country of Italy.

All of Tyrol (at the time entirely under Austria) was temporarily occupied from 1918 to 1919 before South Tyrol was officially ceded to Italy.

What about the Balearic islands? I thought they were occupied during the Spanish Civil War.

Seems to be Majorca specifically. I'll have to make some time to add it in. Thanks for making me aware of this.

Half of Egypt, the area around Abyssinia, Somalia and Eritrea was also controlled during WWII - also Italy's Predecessor state Sardinia, had the International Zone in Tangier. The earliest predecessor state of Italy also controlled parts of western Switzerland. Italy occupied Majorca.
