Independent Corsica.

In the wake of wars in Europe, peace has come.
Carlo Bounaparte (father of Napoleon) is at the peace conference. Despite being a spendthrift and a drunk, he managed to install Pasquale Paoli as the first King of Corsica.
For his work in making Pasquale King, Carlo is named Marquis by first royal decree.

Now, run with it.
 
I don’t think Napolean would be close to as powerful as he was in OTL. Corsica has little resources, manpower, money, etc. and they would be reliant on a British alliance. That would hurt them in the American Revolution, as they would probably have to fight with the British and they may get easily invaded by the French with now no one to protect them. They’d either loose their independence to France in 1783 or at least be forced to break all ties with England.

Breaking ties would be realpolitik in 1780's, but I do expect that Napoleon would start to think that the King's day's are numbered.
