This is North America. It's a continent in my constructed world, the Steamopera. It lies to the west from my primary continent, 'Europe', on the other side of an ocean called the Atlantic ocean.
The PoD for the Steamopera was somewhere in the 1760, 1770 area. This time around, France makes a comeback: the Republic gives a legs-up for a northern Republic, and the French aristocrat emigrés who make up the International (see [link] and [link] ) rule the Kingdom of Louisiana. Some of the Thirteen end up in the Northern Republic of Acadia, and the rest end up in the Dominion of Virginia. The South is mostly the Kingdom of Louisiane, the french emigré kingdom: I was thinking that the French return to Louisiana by buying it back, and then proceed to conquer the rest from Spain, or possibly buy the whole lot. Highlights: French Texas. California is a spanish-speaking republic to the east. The hardest part was the names, really, until I got to Acadia and started doing whimsical names. Lots of fun. Mexico I'll have to pressure vlad to help me with, he can probably cook up appropriate Nahuatl names. EDIT: This image is aboutish complete, with cities and whatnot.

BTW, why Nicaraqua with a "q"? Typo or random phonological quirk of your con-Spanish?
Also, do you have linguistic maps and such. I'd love to see what effect Louisiane has on the interchanges between Spanish, English, and French.

Ollock Ackeop at your service, sirs and madames.

*CHOMP!*
And the q was just a quirk cause I read the etymology off the WP.

This is interesting, though-- especially since I already love alternate history and maps. This is even more interesting, if annoying, from the point of view of a Marylander.
Some things don't add up. For instance, the Delmarva peninsula. Virginia possesses (in reality) three Eastern Shore counties on the far south tip, separated from Delaware by Maryland. How did Maryland get those?
In the 17th century, or maybe the early 18th (I REALLY suck at dates) Maryland and Virginia fought a war, an outgrowth of the British Civil War. Protestant Parliament-supporting Virginia versus Catholic Monarchist Maryland. Maybe the Virginians (especially the guy whose name I forget who ruled Kent Island, in Maryland, but was a Virginian) won that war or its analog... but if that were so, why would Virginia have actually LOST territory? And why would we still have a city called Baltimore, when Lord Baltimore (specifically the second Lord Baltimore, Cecil Calvert, who inherited the Royal Charter for Maryland from his dad, George), who the city is named for, was, for all his delicate political dancing, a monarchist?
There was also another war, which was ended by the intercession of the British government and established the current border. Maryland versus Pennsylvania, Cresap's War. PA (the Penn family) said they possessed Delaware and a border farther south than the IRL modern one. MD (the Calverts, Lord Baltimore) said we possessed Delaware further to the north, Mason and Dixon set the border at its current point and Delaware remained part of Pennsylvania until it sort of slid out on its own at some indeterminate point.
And I take it that the reason for the other colonies remaining a dominion is fear of the French-dominated republic to their north? Sort of the reverse of what happened in reality?
But yeah, I like it a lot. Have a favorite.
This isn't pure AH, but a fantastic steampunk setting, so there's flying ships and Victorians In Space and all that. A republican bloc in the western European mainland, and so forth.
