Plans are in the pipeline to put a wall around Naples, and shove
Sicily in the direction of Libya.

It looks like Bulgaria is intending to recognize the new state:

As for Romania, there is a 1.5-million strong Hungarian minority in
Romania. It's the largest ethnic minority in Europe. Some regions,
like Harghita county, have a 90% Hungarian majority.

From what I understand from talking with many Hungarians in Romania,
they do not consider themselves as Romanian nationals in any way, shape,
or form. Citizens, yes perhaps, but nationals, no.

I have no idea about Slovakia. But 10% of that country's residents are
ethnic Hungarians too.

Garibaldi didn't unite Italy, he divided Africa.

Bulgaria has a not-too-far-in-the-past episode of horrendous persecution
of its Pomak and Turkish minorities. Neither of which ever tried to
form a new state of their own, but they did try for a lot more autonomy
(linguistic and religious) than the state was willing to grant.

Hungarians in Slovakia don't have it as bad as those in Romania. But
the gypsies are in exactly the same position. Again, they can't push
for their own state, but asking not to be forced to live in garbage
dumps is more than the Slovak state will tolerate.

Meh. Bulgaria has been trying to appease the west for years now, as
long as they can be excused for their own rampant corruption.

Linguistic Hungarians I think you mean. Hungarian culture isn't that
different from its neighbours.
