While browsing wikipedia, I came upon this, a map of "Greater Syria" as planned by a nationalist whose name escapes me. Though the map is from much later, your challenge is to construct a Syrian state covering as much of this area as possible with a POD after hmm, the Crimean War. Bonus points for extra plausibility!
