comment A unitary state split into several smaller ones
Well I was looking for the formal reasons for a split other than ethnic or religious self determination. That makes Panama and Taiwan somewhat better answers than Kosovo, Cyprus and post-USSR smaller countries.

@ SevenSidedDie: Could you be more specific? What has been split into what parts and has it really been a unitary state?

comment Is there any country(former colony) in the world that obtained independence and then again tried to join its colonist ruler?
Oh yeah? Just read the sign on the passport control cabins in Moscow airports. For several years it said "Only for citizens of Union State of Russia and Belarus". So one practical purpose was the length of the queue. Today the sign is different though. It says "Only for citizens of TS". "TS" meaning "Tamozhenny Soyuz" that is "Customs Union" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…)
