The website says it'd be excluded from the federation, so presumably either independent or Egyptian again.

It's already semi-independent to my knowledge so I believe that's why they had it excluded
The website said that Gaza would be excluded from the federation.
The borders of the cantons bother me
Dig a deep wide canal and fill in the northern strait of the Irish Sea. Simples!

In that last one, it looks like an anthropomorphic Britannica shoving a finger into the eye of Ireland. AGAIN.
Or Ireland is on the point of biting off the finger. Drongawn Lough looks like a small eye.
In 1946, the United States offered Denmark $100 million (the equivalent of $1.35 billion in today's money) in exchange for all of Greenland. Denmark refused, but allowed the U.S. to build Thule Air Base on the landmass.

THE LITHUANIAN PROBLEM by Marian Świechowski
Basically a proposed solution to the issue of Polish-Lithuanian borders, especially with the crisis of Kaunas/Kovno. French diplomacy really recieved a blunder there because while supporting Poland, there was a real fear that it would push Lithuania in the arms of Germany, if not Bolshevik Russia.
A common mentioned "solution" in 1923 was that Poland could integrated Lithuania as a whole into a new federation, on which Lithuania would be dominated but allowed a greater territory involving much of NW Poland.
(The picture doesn't seems to load correctly, so I put a link in the title)
The text basically say that while Lithuania really wants to unilateraly impose its territorial hegemony, (sic.) then Poland would be ready to integrate Lithuania in a new Polish-Lithuanian federal state (Red stripes over Yellow and white)
Now, if Lithuanians are still bent against Poland and favoring Germany, that would be their choice (if irrational) and they would be let as a client state of Germany is they want so, but only based on "ethnographic Lithuania" (blue stripes). Poland would even let some territories outside agreed 1920 border in exchange of Kaunas/Kowno.

This isn't as much as a proposal but rather something which actually existed for like almost ten years. These are the PRoC's territorial subdivisions in 1949, and they mostly stayed like this until the late 1950s. Provinces and autonomous regions are in blue, territories in pink, separate municipalities in red. Since there are proposals to divide the bigger Chinese provinces even today, this is something one could easily draw inspiration from. Here is a list with all the data on them, including their abolition dates.

If I remember correctly the United States attempted to buy the island to launch bombers capable of carrying atom bombs in the event of a Soviet attack
Apart from a closer base to European Russia (flying through the North Pole saves a lot of time) a vaste land full of natural resources the US could exploit, such as oil, fishing rights, coal etc...
