What you said about making Tuscany like a East/West Berlin type reunification, the situation is slightly different, as East Germany was a legitimate nation exercising its sovereignty, while Sicily is an occupying power, and the unification will happen as a result of war rather than a peaceful reunification. But I was originally inspired by east/west germany.
