Two PoDs:
1 - Corsica: In 1755 Republic of Corsica was founded, a modern nation with a modern constitution, after the Corsican droce the Genoese from their island. 1767, in OTL, Genoa sold their claim to France who conquered the island one year later. But what will happen, if France decided that the price is too high and did not buy the claim?
2 - Poland: After several crises the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth gave themselves a modern constitution in 1791. But some nobles (the Targowica Confederation) did not like it and called Russia for help, starting events that lead to the Second Partition of the Commonwealth in 1793. But what will happen if they had realized that their opposition to the May 3 Constitutionwould lead to the end of the independence of the Commonwealth?
Can those two democracies survive?
