Would a surviving Carantania qualify?
Karantyany (West Caranthians or Alpine Slaweni)
DAMN! the Caranthians are getting a lot of attention.

I'm sorta ignorant on this topic, but couldn't the Slavic migration be somehow shifted further westward than south into the Balkans? The Germanics did it previously, yes? Or were the Germanics simply too entrenched by the time the Slavs really got a move on?
I've been summoned, I see.
This wasn't beyond the realm of possibility; some of the taifas were ruled by Saqaliba, Denia being a key example. But it wouldn't be a majority Slavic country, or even Slavic-speaking. The Saqaliba generally adopted Arabic names and language, and they would be more a ruling caste than a majority, most of the people being Muladies and Arabo-Berbers.
A Slavic Pomerania is also not beyond the realm of possibility. I suppose they could convert rather than being overrun.
Until 1933 there Had been even an independence movement in that region.In a recent horizon of a few centuries ?
A little Sorbian republic (or, more unusually, constitutional monarchy) in the Lausitz, given full independence and membership in international institutions. The resulting country would be, size-wise, somewhere in between contemporary OTL Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
Obviously, even such a small ATL country/state would create some butterflies.
A large slavic age of migration further west into the new Germania Christian kingdoms in the very early Middle Ages could be interesting. A counterpart of the Balkan migrations. Maybe If they are driven out by a more powerful nomad horse culture. Awars, Cumans and Magyars failed in the long term.As the title says, have a country which is majority speaking slavic (No matter if it is an existing language or a "parallel" one), in:
1)Basic goal: Inside any place of OTL germany outside alps and the rhine
2)Acceptable goal: Inside the rhine or the alps in germany, switzerland, austria and northern italy
3)Decent goal: anywhere OTL France, northern spain (Catalonia, Aragón, lets just exclude euskadi)
4)Hard goal: anywhere on the iberian peninsula
5)Impossible goal: On the british isles
To achieve said goal any point of divergence is permitted but the challenge has an extra if the modern day result is the most similar to otl...
Reverse Austro- Hungarian empire! Austria is taken over by Hungary and ruled from Budapest! Of course, for this to fit the prompt, Hungary would have to be Slavic, but that isn’t too hard.
