An Independent Sicily To This Day.

Sicily is the largest island in the Medditeranean and the local population have their own language and traditions. What if it was an independent country with its capital as Palermo?
 
Communism takes hold in Italy? The Americans and their allies decide to prop up an independent anti-Communist Sicilian state based in Palermo, administrated mainly by men who worked with the Mussolini regime.
 
Maybe Hitler fails to come to power, and an isolated Fascist Italy collapses, with La Cosa Nostra forming the governing elite a new Sicilian Republic? I actually had an idea that would mirror the Iran-Contra Affair, where the CIA uses its connections among anti-Italian Sicilian rebels to import heroin, selling it in America and using the money to fund another civil war somewhere.
