I have a question about an alternate US, specifically, if we look at an alternate version of the US in 2012, where are its biggest cities, and what's a rough population estimate?
This is the theoretical US:
-territory: OTL US, Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Bermuda, all the Virgin Islands, northern Mexico (Durango, Sinaloa, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and north of that)
-growth:
*Revolution: OTL 13 plus Nova Scotia, Quebec, capture Bermuda/Bahamas, UK keeps Newfoundland Island
*1803: Louisiana
*1812: no change, just fix the 49° parallel. UK keeps Rupert's Land
*1846-8: Mexican-American War cedes the southwest to the US.
*1848: Oregon Country goes entirely to the US
*1867: Alaska purchased
*1898: Hawaii annexed
*1898: Spanish-American war cedes Puerto Rico, Cuba
*1900-14: Rupert's Land sold to the US due to low settlement, drain on British Empire
*1916: Britain sells VI to US for war materials. US covers present territory, enters WW1 and 2 as OTL.
For this version of the US, assuming the above, what would its size be theoretically?
And as a slight variation, let's say that the UK captures Santiago in the War of Jenkin's Ear, and sets a colony there, covering roughly half the island, and by 1800 or so, it pushes the Spanish off the island. If the US captures it during the War of 1812 and it becomes US territory, how big would a US cuba bearing only former British citizens and American colonists get?
