  2. Was American Nicaragua via filibuster ever plausible?

    There have been a few threads about Walker, but I'm especially curious on the plausibility of this from the political/cultural angle.

  9. U.S. States that could've been merged

    What states could've ended up larger or merged into one big state? Off the top of my head I would say Arizona/New Mexico, Oregon/Washington(and maybe Idaho), Mississipi/Alabama and the Dakotas.

  10. AHC: California divided, Oregon territory a single state.

  11. Deforestation and colonization of the Amazon

    (Depressing, I know) Inspired by a particularly weird game of Victoria 2 in which the Amazon attracted ridiculous numbers of immigrants, but would deforesting and colonizing the Amazon have been within 19th century capabilities?
