The final two correct answers, were:
Yugoslavia, which split into Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Serbia (Montenegro later split from Serbia)
aaaaaaand
The Federal Republic of Central America, which was a brief union of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatamala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (hey, what's the deal, Panama?). One thing I missed was that the union was revived twice, once in the late 1890s without Costa Rica and Guatamala, and again from 1921 to 1922 without Nicaragua. All unions seemed to fail when those opposing the union immediately take to arms. But there is a lasting nostalgia for the brief union (all the countries involved have flags that are based on the FRCA flag, they also united militarily to take on the invasion of filibuster ).
Congrats on eeking out a 1pt victory, Mike! Thanks everyone for playing

I'm stuck on the 1823 - 1841 one. I'm going to guess Sardinia, but I bet it's wrong because I think Pete has heard of it. My hunch is that it's either a European country that is in present day Italy or German, or that it's something in/around India.

Denmark
has one: for Iceland
Netherlands
has two: Indonesia and Suriname.
Sealand
Although Alexander Achenbach invaded the country in the late 70s, its government has not occupied another country nor broken itself up into tinier countries... yet.
Portugal is #7!
Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Sao Tome and Princeipe and partial credit for Portugal
Germany is #4! Specifically Nazi Germany...
Albania, Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and partial credit for Greece.
For the remaining three, some clues:
- The countries no longer exist.
- #8 stopped existing in the 20th century
- #9 stopped existing in the 20th century
- #10 I never heard of, existed from 1823 to 1841
