One big India pre 1937 including Burma. The Burmese are a minority in "Myanmar" anyway and Ne Win's stagnation and the current Than Shwe regime would be butterflied away. Possibly include Sri Lanka in Greater India as well. Maybe even Oman, the Emirates (then called the Trucial States) and Aden and Qatar, which would butterfly away a LOT of Mideast petro-instability while making Greater India self sufficient in energy. The Arab emirates in question had very small populations, easily submerged by India and the size of Indian princely states. Several wars (Oman, 1969-1975, Indo-Pakistani Wars, Burmese Civil War, Tamil Tigers) and much loss of life would be averted ATL. this way.
For some reason Genoa just seems to lack character. Venice was like a state run by Machiavellianism with undertones of suave wickedness, almost like if a standard Count Dracula style vampire were turned into a nation state. Compared to that, Genoa just isn't as exciting to me.The most glorious Republic of Indian Stream of course.
Also, Republics of Genoa and Venice. I am seeing a lot of love for Venice, but I have always been more partial to Genoa myself.
And as others have said, Scotland, Wales and a united Ireland.
Ottoman Empire
Sokoto Caliphate
Sultanate of Zanzibar
I second that.The late, great, People's Democratic Republic of Yemen!

(Eyes widen.)
Not just The Raj, but The Raj!
It would have a hell of a soundtrack.
That could make life very interesting.
