I have decided to hop on the re-rising trend of 9/12 different nations. mainly inspired by
FederalRepublic
So here we go.
(BTW some of these are not supposed to be realistic)
A1: The Republic of New England (1995-)
The United States in the 60s and 70s faced several economic issues, and social unrest and political polarization. The Soviets meanwhile would implement reforms to its system while also avoiding several mistakes it made in our timeline. In the 80s, America would lose several of its allies, falling into communism. After years of economic stagnation, and extreme polarization, the United States would see several of its states succeed, starting with Texas in February 1994. Finally, in 1995, The United States dissolve and split into several new nations. The Republic of New England would be formed, with the nation being a Classical Liberal, with a Federal Republic, with some seeing it as the remanent of the United States and the few capitalist states left in the world.
A2: The United Commonwealth of Freedonia (1816-)
Inspired by this

TerraMagnus.
Following its defeat in New Orleans, the United States would never see the Era of Good Feeling. Instead, the 1816 election would be highly polarized between the North and South. With the Democratic-Republics barely wining, the final straw would break. Starting from Vermont, several states in the North would succeed from the Union to form the United Commonwealth of Freedonia (UCF). Gaining support from the British, the UCF would successfully push into Maryland, threatening DC. Eventually, the United States would sue for peace and agree to recognize the UCF. The UCF would remain an ally of the British, while the United States remains their rival and enemy.
A3: The Dominion of New England (1854-)
Inspired by
Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England
in the 1760s, the region would soon develop a different culture from the rest of the colonies down south. When the American Revolution occurs, the colonies in New England would support the British. Eventually, the newly formed United States would be forced to recognize them. The Americans would still win the war and become independent. New England would form into a different colony from the rest of Canada. In 1854, Dominionship was granted to New England. New England today is one of the richest states in the world and has good relations with Canada, Britain and the United States.
A4: New France (1534-1740)
Based on
Alternate History Hub Video
About 20,000 Years ago, as the Glacier would retreat into the Arctic, however, they would leave no water left behind, and thus the great lakes never form. Native Tribes such as the Iroquis still exist in this timeline, however, the Iroquis would expand more into the Taeys River. When the French begin colonizing North America, with the St Lawrence river not existing, they focus their efforts into Maine and Massachusetts. While the colony of New France here is a much larger population than our timeline, it was still outmatched by the British and their colonies. Eventually, after years of wars between the two colonies and the expense to run it, France gave up on the colony and hand it over to the British.
B1: The Federated States of America (1861-)
The Southern States would gain much more influence than the Northern States, allowing them to spread more Slave States than the Free States. Tension would run high in the United States and after the failure of Lincon to gain the Republican candidate with an ineffective one. Following the 1860 election, the Northern States decide to succeed from the Union, seeing it as different from what the founding fathers intended it to be. Starting from Vermont, several states would succeed in forming the Federated States of America. Gaining the support of Britain and its bigger population, the FSA would beat back the Union attempt to invade and take Philadephia (the capital). Eventually, other places such as the West Coast would succeed from the Union, forcing the remaining American states to surrender, recognizing the FSA and other successor states.
B2: Emergency Government of New England (1990-2044)
On September 26, 1982, the day the world dreaded finally came as Nuclear war occurred in less than a day. Several survivors in Connecticut and Massachusetts would form the Emergency Government of New England meant to bring order back to the region. The state would soon expand into New York and New Hampshire helping out several survivors and battling with raiders and enemy factions such as the Yorkers and the Remeanent of the US government. In 2012, 30 years after the bomb drop, the EGNE formed into the Commonwealth of New England. However, after years of war, the US government would finally regain control of New England in 2044, annexing the Commonwealth.
B3: The East Algonquian Union (1530-)
Based on
Vologda Mapping video of What if the Native Americans formed their own nations?
In alternate 1350s, The black death would kill around 70% of the European population, driving them to become highly isolationist and less expansionist. The Iroquis in the west would begin to expand their power across the great lakes, angering several native tribes. They would soon form The East Algonquian Union to counteract their expansion. Europe would eventually discover the Americas in 1590 and would trade with them. Gaining European technology the Algonquian and Iroquis would fight several wars between each other, while sometimes also becoming a proxy war for the Europeans in their own wars.
B4: The Commonwealth of New England (1937-)
Pretty Much Kaisereich.
In 1937, after a contested election and years of economic troubles, the Second American Civil War began between the Federal Government, the Combine Syndicates and the Union States of America and the Pacific States of America. New England would become a Canadian puppet state. Eventually, the Union States lead by Huey long would win, however, the west remains independent. New England would aid Canada in the Second Weltkreig. Following it, a Cold War between the Entente and Mittleeuropa would occur, with New England being on the side of the Entente.
C1: Reichskommissariat Neuengland (1946-1980)
After a series of Economic stagnation from the Great Depression and a slew of incomponent leaders, the United States remain weak well into the 40s. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor when the US was forced to enter, it faces several challenges. With Britain and the Soviet Union falling to the axis, Germany and Japan launch their full-scale invasion of the US in September 1946. Lasting until 1947 when the US surrender and was divided into several puppet states. In New England, a Reichskommissariat was formed, where they would expel their Jewish population and set apartheid levels of segregation to its non-Anglo population. However, after years of German rule, the people of New England would rise up and overthrow the German puppet government, establishing a new Republic.
C2: Federal State of New Netherlands (1770-)
The British after the failure of the Jamestown colony decide to not continue on its Colonial adventure. The Dutch would take the opportunity to expand their colony from New Amsterdam into Massachusetts and Rhode Island and Southern Ontario. Eventually, the people of New Netherland growing tired of Dutch rule and rebel, forcing the Dutch to grant them Independence. New Netherlands and Quebec would soon fight wars over the control of Southern Ontario, with New Netherlands winning.
C3: Peoples Republic of New England (1905-1980)
William McKinley survives his assassination attempt and the Gildan age continues. Eventually, a communist revolution occurs in several states. In New England, a Communist state is established. During the Great Depression, The Maritimes would leave Canada and join New England. New England would become allied with the Soviet Union during the cold war, however as their economy stagnate thanks to incomponent leaders, new movements would occur there calling for a new government. In 1980 the Communist government collapsed.
C4: Technate of America (2137-2138)
Following the Third American Civil War in the 2130s, a Technocratic Republic was established in Massachusetts. However internal conflict and the advancing US army would cause the state to be short-lived.
