What happens when a Mandated Offensive names a neutral nation?

The rulebook says a currently neutral nation's result has no effect, and the posts agree.

Nothing. A Mandated Offensive result of None, or of a nation that is still neutral, has no effect, so that nation has no attack to make that turn. The test applies when the offensive is rolled: an Italian offensive rolled while Italy is neutral does not oblige Italy to attack even if it enters the war by card play later.
