Keeping with the Italy suggestion - Sicily wouldn't be a bad idea - they're used to being overrun with troops at least once a century as they are a strategically placed stepping-stone en route to conquering Europe - they'll probably shout 'Vive Patton' in the streets when you arrive though, and don't be surprised if the rest of Italy surrenders straightaway.... it's a national trait, apparently - in fact no matter where you might invade Italy will probably surrender...
