North Kyushu Republic and Satsuma Republic

How possible are these since the dialects yhere are too different from standard japanese and what point in time are these possible in WW2 or during the 16th century.

Maybe if the Dutch somehow got control of Kagoshima and turned the Satsuma into something resembling Hong Kong or Macau. However, this is likely to completely rewrite the last 400 years of the history of Japan.

christian revolts of cryptochristians will work in northern kyushu which might make a "christian republic of north kyushu".

Nah, they'll just be crushed, like the Shimabara Revolt of 1636 was crushed by the Shogunate, and Christians persecuted just as IOTL.

Problem is, I don't think that the Dutch or the Portuguese have the power to force a strong, unified Japanese Government in the 1600s to do anything; France and Spain are of course too far away and busy with their own stuff;

Somewhat difficult in the 1500s, given that the concept of Republics did not exist in 16th century Japan, unless you count the Iga Ninja Republic, which was a cooperative experiment between farmers in an Iga town.

In the 20th century, after the Meiji Restoration, nearly 90 years of a unified and strong central Imperial state and 400 years of the Tokugawa Shogunate? Now that'd be impossible, unless MacArthur drinks too much sake one day and convinces Truman to balkanize Japan:p
