Option 1 would be almost a herculean task even for a combined armada. Besides problems of language, there would be weather concerns as well as being able to coordinate a combined offensive operation (which is pretty much why I said language at the beginning. Unless the French officers can...
Okay, starting from the east (brief summary included. Only doing new states):
1)Georgia (could also just be called Atlanta) - Georgia refused to cede its claim to the Alabama portion of the Yazoo Claim (which included Mississippi except the Biloxi area).

4) Genoa
5) Turkish Beylik (not Ottoman)
6) Hungary
7) Poland-Lithuania
