Confederation might work better, at least until a mixture of English and Cajun has went around the countries a few times as people leave Haiti for better land. Come to think of it, you could wank Haiti by giving them their trees back....in a federation with Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the independent Negro Lowlands Republic (carved out of the Confederacy by black revolutionaries during the War of Confederate Obliteration)

Armenia, because it would be interesting to see an independent Armenian kingdom resist the Turks and it can be interesting to see a different kind of Greater Armenia.
A sexually frustrated one ?
More seriously: Why not Moldova ? For instance, becoming the dominant political/cultural force in an alt-unification of Romania. Or eclipsing the other Romanian historical lands in terms of territory and power and so on.
Or San Marino ? In OTL Napoleonic Wars, there was a plan to give it access to the sea, IIRC.

many ideas, the point in many cases is try to set the correct point of divergence, or to start the change; or maybe an ISOT (which are the more usual)
so maybe, between all, we cna create an apropiated wank for 3 or 4 countries

Ireland
The Irish Empire
by Paul O'Johnson
"
(This is a summary of the book. The original is 1,546 pages long.)
Among the many dismaying events of the twentieth century, few would have surprised and appalled the optimistic mind of the nineteenth more than the complete disintegration of the Irish Empire by 1960. For centuries the chief bulwark of Christendom against the Quetzal League of the Mississippi, its swift decline from the largest unified political unit in the history of the world to a squabbling "Commonwealth of Nations" seemed to put the whole of civilization at risk. As is often the case in history, our worst fears were as unfounded as our fondest hopes, and the terrible North American tyranny collapsed at the very moment it seemed poised to gather the empire of the world to itself. The process by which we were saved was almost as disconcerting as the one we thought would damn us.
No single ruler was more responsible for the ultimate rise of Irish civilization that the Roman Emperor Britanicus. After the suspicious death of his adoptive brother Nero in 54 A.D., he presided over a prosperous, uneventful reign which did much to redeem the reputation of the imperial office. Britanicus occupied his time primarily in the pursuit of the pedantic interests that had so largely concerned his father, the Emperor Claudius. It is due to Britanicus's filial diligence in promoting the copying and distribution of his father's historical works that the histories of Claudius are among the most widely-preserved primary sources that have come down to us from ancient times. It was also out of filial piety that Britanicus pursued his father's original conquests in Britain, to a degree that perhaps exceeded the actual value of the province. The invasion of Munster in 60 A.D. by Governor Paulus, made in response to the depredations of Irish pirates on the loosely defended coasts of newly Roman Britain, occasioned the first permanent foothold of the Roman Empire in Ireland. The conquest of the island was not completed, however, until fifty years later under the Emperor Trajan."
