I'll start
From 1587-1632 Sigismund was ruler og the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and from 1592-1599 Sigismund was ruler of Sweden. During his reign of the three countries he tried to install a personal union between the Sweden and the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. He would have been succsessful in this if it wasn't for his uncle Charles IX, who was able to depose Sigismund from the Swedish throne. Sigismund tried to retake the throne in the War against Sigismund, but was unsuccsessful.
He also tried to impose his rule in Moscovy during the Moscovite Times of trouble. He was able to take the take Moscow and hold it for two years. But was casted out by Russians who feared that he would be too untolerant of the orthodox faith, to be a good ruler for Moscovy.
If Sigismund had been succsessful in holding onto the Swedish and Moscovite thrones, then the four states Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and Moscovy would have been centralised into the Polish-Lithuanian-Swedish-Moscovite Commonwealth.

Charles V's regime was pretty awesome but the feudal system cockblocked him a lot
Burgundy was pretty close to becoming a lasting reality
Dagestan and Kurdistan probably should be countries
There are innumerable secessionist causes in India/Pakistan as well

Not any of them, but it's cool and to be honest, with ups and downs, it was a meme since the times of their fall. Charles V' burdgundian heritage is pretty important for the character.

I still wonder why we never split up Germany after either of the world wars. It would fix a lot of problems.

Rio de Janeiro was once the capital of an empire that reach India and East Asia. Too bad the UK cockblocked it because they didn't want a transcontinental empire rivaling their own.

If Prince Arthur hadn't drowned in the White Ship disaster, France and England would have been unified under a single ruler, avoiding the hundred years war and ushering in a golden age of total anglo-french global domination.
