Peacefully unite/split countries

[RiseOfDeath]

So is there any way to unite or split countries which I have totally controlled?

Only if you have a claims : country A should have claims on (at least) capital region of country B to able to unify B into A.

Most claims are hidden behind social research (begin with Arrival International Relations).

Ok. F.e. I have controlled 2 countries. Both are members of Eurasian Union - Russia and Kazahstan. So, As I understood Russia from befining have claims to whole Eurasian Union (and not only). How Can I unite thise 2 countries, I don't find anything for it in relations management.

1) You need to be completely in control of both countries (180 days timer after you get last CP - you can see that icon in top-right corner of country stats window).

2) You need to ally them first via diplomatic relationships.

3) After allying - you need to wait until #1 completed and diplomatic cooldown expired. Then you need to use "Set national policy" on leading country - to create a federation and invite country B into it.

If you already have a federation with other countries (like EU at start) - every country in federation should be NOT a rival to country B & should NOT have a diplomatic cooldown with country B.

4) After joining the federation & waiting another diplomatic cooldown to expire - you finally could use "Set national policy" to unify both countries.

P.S. Unification by war is much, much more superior in all cases except when you're lacking claims on all regions of country (in that case war will give you only claimed regions while diplomatic unification could give everything).

"Set national policy" is councilier action, right?

Yes, AFAIK it's available to almost all types of councilors (or even all - don't remember any agent without it).

Also a hint: Open diplomatic relationship window for your country and hover mouse on flag of country you want to unify. Game will show all conditions to go war with it, invite to federation or unify it. Everything red - is bad and blocking you from doing it :)
