What if... there was the following world?

  • Eastern Europe has become orthodox-protestant and experiences the enlightenment in the seventeenth century.

  • The civil war comes to a stalemate; effectively, the south has won. America is disunited.

  • Napoleon hasn’t been defeated by other European powers. France rules over Europe.

  • National-syndicalism rises in Germany, Poland and the United States.

  • Canada becomes a world power, with many colonies.

  • Communism rises in Asia, particularly in Japan and China. Manchuria and Korea are captured by Japan.

  • The Union of Scandinavia is a united kingdom of Norse territory – comprising Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Scania, Novaya Zemlya, Svalbard, Greenland and artic islands north of Canada.

  • Castile and Aragon have united their crowns and possess the south of Italy and the entire Iberian peninsula.

  • Britain has colonies mainly in South America, as does the Netherlands. The Dutch also have the northeast of the US, plus Nova Scotia, New Brunswick etc. Quebec is an independent Republic.

  • Belgium has Congo and neighbouring colonies. Portugal has the south of Africa and the north is nearly completely French. Turkey has Anatolia and Mesopotamia, and Arabia is semi-independent under Turkish rule.

  • Italy is very strong but has few colonies, which it nevertheless desires strongly. It does have territory in Croatia and Dalmatia.

I want to write a story set in this world, in the year 1925, roughly.
- How will this world develop, what changes will come?
- What, do you think, is most likely about to happen?
- And, also very important, what would you suggest for the storyline? What could be a good idea?
- What could be the main character? What is his/her problem?

--------------------

Last but not least; if there's anyone who's capable of making a map for this world, I'd really appreciate it. You can fill it in yourself, the areas I didn't specify.
