Summary of proposals:
I was participating in a thread on krautchan's /int/ asking people to pick their 3 preferred neighboring countries; an Israeli proposed "the US, Canada, and France - basically where Newfoundland is". Newfoundland in large and sparsely populated - though sparse is more than none. On the other hand, Labrador has today a population of something like 30,000 today; in the time period of 1920-1940 it was even smaller (5,200 in 1942). Plus, Newfoundland and Labrador was a small Dominion with relatively little political pull; it wouldn't have been too hard for the British to hijack it and turn it into a Jewish state. Economically, Labrador seems to have decent soil the handful of times anyone's bothered farming there, they have a huge river for hydro power, they have fish, iron, nickle, may have offshore oil and/or gas, and lots of trees. Unfortunately, I'm currently in the middle of another large timeline and haven't had the opportunity to explore this idea.
