Nguyuit seems to the the independent state for the Shanghainese dialect
And w. Tasmania, I guess i someone from the 30s proposed it and maybe it got traction back then
Idk either, I just went with what wikipedia had
Interesting, it looks pretty comprehensive although at a glance I suspect the veracity of some of the sources provided - for instance they simply cite “the Congress for Cultural Freedom” as a source for the aims of Yugoslav Partisans and their willingness to be subsumed into the Soviet Union which is at very least... less than academic.

There are reliable resources, in MediaFire files as seen here: https://www.deviantart.com/totentanz0/journal/Devious-Journal-Entry-663127191
It has every source he uses for his maps.
Should've put it one degree higher.
Also, apparently this was a thing:
Also, if you think Greenland is a long shot, here's two other modern ideas for American land-purchasing (the first of which is basically what's shown above)

So, but for $5 million in the 1850s Ciudad Juarez (as part of greater El Paso) would be part of the United States and Arizona would have a port......
Number one was actually going to happen until Gadsden shot himself in the foot by insulting Mexico.
Were they planning on attaching the land south of Texas to Texas, or to turn it into a separate state?
Or, just to piss of Arizona, they could have admitted the area as one state.
Baja Arizona!

Why is Baja California red on the third proposal?
I expect Baja California would have been a territory through to the 20th century. Arizona would have a coastline (albeit a largely unusable one). South of the Rio Grande in the east, you might have a Rio Grande state, modelled after the Republic of the Rio Grande.
That’s a good question. As some were upset at the size of Texas at the time, I could see it being its own state (sort of a rump Rio Grande Republic, in that it’s a republican government and would probably be called Rio Grande). More interesting is whether they’d go ahead with the plan to split California (including Baja, of course), because everyone was upset at how big it was OTL.
That's pretty interesting. I wonder in such a scenario if rather than add Nevada as a state, Utah would keep its western territory, Arizona would keep Las Vegas, and California would just get the rest.That’s a good question.

Why is it always Colorado for the name?That’s a good question.
