Every country has certain areas with more population, wealth and political power than the rest.
Your challenge is to change it, with a Pod after 1750.
For example, have the North Weast Coast being one of the most wealthy, populated and politically important regions in the US by the years 2000s. (If you prefer, you can choose any other area of the US area that isn't rich, populated or politically important nowadays IOTL and make irt much more important)
Other examples: Have a Brazil in which the North-East is the richest region nowadays. Have an Argentina with a much more populated Patagonia, and/or a less pooerer NorthWest.
Your country borders don't have to be exactly the saame that IOTL, but their shape musn't change significatly. If somehow Argentina was a British potectorate consisting only of Patagonia and Southern Chile, Santa Cruz might end up being relatively more populated and wealthier part of Argentina than IOTL. But that wouldn't count, as the borders would have far changed too much.
I started a similar thread in the Post-1900 forum, but I realised it's easier to change this kind of things in a single century, except by resorting to a great war or other cathaclismic event. It could have happened in Russia if the nazzis had won, or in Germany if there's been no WWII, as others have stated in that thread. But to get something like that in the US, Argentina, Brazil or Australia you'd probably need a great war/revolution or natural cathastrophe, none of which occured IOTL. With a pre-1900 Pod, things might be achieved without the need of these types of events. Or isn't it?
EDIT: You don't have to limit yourselves to your country of origin. Any country will do.
