Countries that never were

List Countries that don't Exist in OTL, it can be from one of the timelines you have or on scenarios you don't have time with

Kingdom of Silesian Poland

The Northern Latinic Federation
This country is comprised of Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. It was founded officially by the Clujans in 1919
Greater Germanic Empire
The Empire is made up of Jutland, 1871 Germany, Bohemia, Austria, Slovenia, Luxembourg, and Belgian Luxembourg. It was founded by a weakened Austria in 1850.
The Holy Brittanian Empire
This holds Canada, India, most of Africa, and the rest of the British colonies. It formed when Napoleon defeated the Brotish at the Battle of Trafalgar, resulting in the fleeing of the British royal line who installed democracy in the British Isles.
 
Kingdom of Ryukyu
A maritime trading nation which used its status of a tributary of both China and Japan to become immensely wealthy when China industrialized under the Ming Dynasty. Today its economy chiefly depends as a discreet tax haven for the world's wealthy, and as a proudly neutral state is a popular host for international conferences (OOC: think a maritime Switzerland in Asia).

Republic of Canada
Consists of OTL New France north of the Ohio River. Indigenous Americans had acquired immunity to Old World disease as a result of earlier Chinese contact. Waves of British settlers had, by the early 20th century, grown to 20% of the population. Following the Final Crusade, tension between the British Crown and the white settlers over the treatment of the indigenous people led to the Dominion of Canada unilaterally declaring independence, quickly imposing an *apartheid-style regime. The *apartheid regime is wearily transitioning to a multiracial democracy as it seeks to end international isolation (OOC: like South Africa, with snow).

Union of Holy Roman Republics
Formed after the fall of the Tsardom of Russia and the Great Eastern Struggle, the UHRR is officially a federation of *communist republics which seeks universal brotherhood through the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the Holy Orthodox Faith. It claims to be the continuation of the former Holy Roman Empire, and had fought the Final Crusade against the Frankish invaders with legendary valour. Its constituent republics are: Russia, Siberia, Dacia, Bulgaria, Hellenia, Georgia, Circassia, Albania, and Serbia; it is also widely referred to as simply "Russia". Although still ostensibly adhering to strict Orthodox canon law, its economy and society have considerably relaxed and is now booming thanks to its well-trained workforce, plentiful natural resources, and technocratic and centralized governance (OOC: like OTL China, with more Christian icons and Cyrillic propaganda posters).

City State of Rome
Formed by the Allied Powers after the Final Crusade, the City State of Rome is the final remnant of territory over which the Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church holds secular power. Its boundary largely follows the old Aurelian Walls. Although renowned for its historical and cultural sites, in recent decades it had acquired a seedier reputation as the first stopover for young Chinese and Japanese backpackers on their first tour of Europe. Most recently, thousands of corporations have registered here to take advantage of its financial secrecy and low taxes, leading to a revival of anti-Catholic sentiment in predominately Protestant nations. It is not uncommon for scantily-clad women to walk in sight of historic churches, underneath discreet financial offices (OOC: like OTL Bangkok and Monaco).

Qeshm Special Economic Zone, Empire of Fars
This former Chinese colony on the Strait of Hormuz was returned to Persia as a goodwill gesture, to enlist it as an ally against feared UHRR expansionism. Although it retains a Chinese naval base to guarantee China's supply of petroleum, Qeshm now thrives as a cosmopolitan, multicultural, and ultramodern metropolis. Its souks attract merchants from across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, India, and China; its stock market is the only modern financial centre for a quarter of humanity. Its airline has now become a global household name synonymous with luxury, efficiency, and connectivity (OOC: yep, Dubai).

OTL Walloonia and Nord département of France.

Kingdom of Frisia
OTL Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, East Fisia and North Frisia.

Republic of Romandie:
Large precentage of the Huguenots remained in OTL western Switzerland, especially in the city of Geneva. Initially a confederation of French-speaking cantons, it was transformed into a federal republic following the fall of Napoléon. Today, it considered as one of the most advanced countries in the world.
 
Republic of Eastern Transylvania

A historical oddity from the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this landlocked state came into being when the Hungarian majority in eastern Transylvania declared independence to avoid being overrun by Romania, whose government decided to annex the Romani-majority areas of Bukovina, the Banat and Transylvania from the collapsing empire. Once the fighting died down, the republic found itself entirely landlocked inside Romania, and so hunkered down and became a pariah state, only making relations with Hungary and a few other "oddball" nations. After many decades, the state military government decided to democratize (out of economics or money rather than politics) and it is now a seedy tax haven for everyone from crooked governments to corrupt generals.

(in other words, it's kinda like an alt-Lesotho in Europe with the dark side of Swiss baking rolled in)

Dominion of Sabah (part of the Republic of Austria)

In the 1870's, the Austro-Hungarian Consul to Hong Kong, Baron Von Overbeck, snapped up territories up and down northern Borneo, hoping to develop it like the British East India Company did to India. The imperial government in Vienna was weary, but they did sent out a team of surveyors to see if there's anything of value that they could find there. What they found was loads of oil, caverns of gas and one of the largest coal deposits ever found in Borneo. Colonization swiftly followed, and despite the tropical heat, many saw the opportunity of the colony as a stop-over point to trade with the wider world. Also, many people liked the Kinabalu highlands enough to settle there permanently.

Colonization followed, with Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Ukrainians, Serbians ad Romanians all trickling in. The native Bajaus, Malays, Muruts and Kadazhan-Dusuns weren't happy, and severe conflicts would wreck Austro-Hungarian Borneo until WWI. When the British took over, they found out that the place had too many foreigners for their own good, and so gave them back to Austria, which used the place both as a dumping ground for German emigrants and political criminals. Eventually, a weird symbiotic relationship blossomed and by the 1930's-1950's, the whole colony was declared a Dominion of the Republic of Austria.

Today, the Dominion of Sabah is a much more peaceful place, with everyone and their mother realizing that they all have to live together now... well, almost. The wealth, prosperity, and stability of Sabah has made it an attractive place for immigrants from neighboring *Indonesia and the *Philippines, and even the Malays and indigenous subgroups are debating on anti-immigration reform. The lingua franca is German, though private use of various languages is permitted in a cultural context, and there is a distinct Sabahan Creole being spoken on the street. The Dominion is a manufacturing power, with services and tourism being secondary economic pillars. It has good relations with the Kingdom of Sarawak, and not so good relations with *Indonesia and the *Philippines.
 
The Republic of the Many Hills

A small oligarchic republic polity based around the southern third of the second main island in Aotearoa. The republic's governance represents the power of the many large farm holders , descended from the original Polynesian migrants to the islands. Whilst they proudly hold to their island ancestry, their language, customs and indeed ethnicity more properly reflects the large numbers of Scottish, Greek, Tamil and Yunnan migrants and refugees brought over to provide labour in the 18th centuries. Suffice to say linguists devise great amusement from their studies.

It is widely thought that the whole edifice is one hard shove from collapse and the only reason that no one has dared is for fear of what the resurgent Tongan socialist agitators ruling in the highly militerised neighboring northern island of Te Ika-a-Māui would do. To keep the peace, the Emperor of all Malays and his royal brothers in Oman and Aragon continue to prop up the dissolute republic. Although I am sure they all tire of the seemingly endless barrels of salted pork they are sent in thanks.
