Alternate revivals of ancient/medieval states

Lithuania.
Croatia.

I don't see how those count, there was a Lithuania under Polish and Russian rule and there was a Croatia under Hungarian and Austrian rule.

There was a plan by Catherine the Great to form a new Byzantine Empire and a Kingdom of Dacia. Then there's this:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]More definite, however, were his views on a more modest kingdom-a revival of that of Aries, or an Allobrogian kingdom, comprising Savoy, Dauphiné, Provence, and the Lyonnais.[/FONT]

The man was Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy and the time was the final period of the French Wars of Religion. He would also later attempt a revival of the Kingdom of Lombardy (Treaty of Bruzolo, 1610).

Mongol Empire, though I suppose you could count Timur etc as attempted revivals of that.

Durrani Empire? (Ie Afghans unite again and try to invade British India)
 
iran could attempt to remake the Persian Empire and try to take Iraq, the Levant, Turkey, Armenia, and might even wage war with Egypt
 
Perhaps the ultra-Islamists attempt to resurrect the Mughal Empire, while the utlra-Hinduists aim for the Chola Empire?

Elsewhere, Montenegro evoking the Kingdom of Diolectia or Raska could be possible.

I seriously doubt that the Islamists would be attracted by a Mughal-like model, Aurangzeb nothwithsanding.
 
Perhaps rather than a Greek State rebelling from the Ottoman Empire, could a successor Byzantium State have been formed? The difficultly here is that such a state would probably have territorial desires on Constantinople, which would then lead to conflict with the Turks. Perhaps in a scenario where the Ottomans totally collapse, and a more tolerant Byzantine Empire controls Greece and Turkey.

Also, I am going to quote the OP on the 'map of the fortnight' thread, because this is a cool map idea. All credit going to Xwarq, obviously.

According the Declaration of the independence Lithuanian state was restored. Under Russian rule it was only in the tzar's title (they claimed the title the Grand duke of Lithuania).

I've seen a Grand Duchy of Lithuania made up of Kaunas, Vilnius and Grodno provinces on some old maps, though I don't know how much of an administrative role it had.
 
If you manage to have the Paleologo dynasty survive in Italy, maybe they can be chosen to head a Greek state and fabricate it as a new Eastern Roman Empire.

It looks like Vilnius general-governorship. It seems that before Napoleon's invasion there were considered some plans of reviving GDL, but they never got beyond this.
