Padania
Padania is an alternative name for Northern Italy, which was sparingly used until the beginning of the 1990s, when the Northern League political party (in Italian, Lega Nord) proposed it as the denomination of a common homeland for northern Italians dissatisfied with the Italian state government. Therefore, since the 1990s the term carries strong political implications in the Italian context.
