Here's the challenge: by the year 2008, for the following countries to have the stated populations:

Ireland - 17.2 million
United Kingdom - 36.1 million
Germany - 40.7 million
France - 126.8 million

The POD is of your choice, but the main condition is that the countries should exist in the same (or very similar) borders compared to their OTL borders. You'd also get bonus points for not unleashing nuclear carnage on Britain and Germany. :)

(as a hint, you get these figures by swapping the population densities of Ireland/UK and France/Germany, respectively).
