Country spliting
At the start of the game, no. You'd need two separate countries.
If it's anything after the user presses play, you can start a civil war and then at a later time trigger peace and in doing so give each half of the country the states you want.
However, you will have target these countries like so:
original_tag = TAG
has_government = IDEOLOGY
