The thread where you post ideas for alternate scenarios that you haven't fleshed out that much. They don't have to be TL ideas, just alternate scenario ideas.

'Anglo-Texico':
Mexico in OTL demanded that the Anglo-Texan settlers become Catholic, become Mexican citizens, follow the federal prohibition on slavery, and follow other Mexican laws. They also rescinded the ten-year tax exemption on immigrants.
ITTL they give ten-to-fifteen years for the Anglo-Texans to satisfy the aforementioned requirements. However, they only encourage conversion to Catholicism (not like it's going to happen anyway), they do not rescind the tax exemption (however they do tax ownership of slaves), and they demand or strongly encourage the learning of Spanish within ten-to-fifteen years.
There's also somebody else instead of Santa Anna.
As a result, Texas stays a part of Mexico, at least, for longer than in OTL, and it becomes a Spanish-speaking Mexican state or independent state. However, it has an interesting dialect of Spanish comparable to people with an American, especially Southern/Texan, accent speaking (or attempting to speak) Spanish today.

St. Lawrence becomes international border:
Americans lose the Revolution. Later on, there are countless new colonial divisions made in British North America. To lessen the representation of the French, Quebec is split into multiple pieces, with each piece only existing on one side of the river, and each piece including large English populations. This is practical despite the St. Lawrence's high population because it's all one state.
Then there's a Second American revolution, and it remains a boundary.
Finally all those maps with the St. Lawrence as an international border will be validated
