Your challenge is to have an independent Mormon state survive until, well, now without a POD of the North somehow being forced to accept Deseret's independence in the ACW or an analogue. It doesn't have to be in the OTL location of Deseret and it doesn't even have to be within OTL US borders.

Secondly, what would the subsequent history of such a state be like? How would it be viewed by other Christians? How theocratic would it be and for how long? How long would polygamy last there? Does this help or hinder LDS evangelism? Will this have butterflies in the Pacific? What would relations be like with the US, Mexico, the UK, etc?
