I have a timeline idea but I'm not sure if it would be plausible, so I'm going to ask you guys. I was wondering what would it take to get Sicily as a merchant republic similar to Venice or Genoa, so your challenge, is with a POD after 965 (the establishment of the Emirate of Sicily), to have Sicily become a primarily merchant focused state (that's not a kingdom) like Genoa and Venice.
