i know this has probably been hashed over a million times. but i thought i'd throw my top hat into the pile and see what happens. I'm working on a steam punk / diesel punk novel. currently I have it set in the 1875 the following has happened.

The US lost the war with England. Arnold's betrayal was not stopped. and the Commonwealth of American Provinces was formed.

France does not sell the Louisiana Territory, rather forms the New French Republic.

1863 civil war breaks out and last till 1866 when the south starts using mustard gas on the battle field. The north finally sues for peace under the threat of more gas attacks and an increasingly aggressive NFR

The Union of Southern Socialist Provinces as formed.
Texas breaks from the USSP, taking everything west of the Mississippi and as far up as the Arkansas territory with it.

NFR X Texan war is short lived and the Mississippi River Free Trade Zone is set up giving the NFR access to the gulf which was being blocked by the texans. the Zone extends 50 miles on each side of the river and from the gulf to memphis

the MRFTZ is pretty much a lawless zone with each city defending itself.

The NFR annexes Northern Illinois and Minnesota, giving it access to the Great lakes and the pacific. The CAP is prevented from retaking this area do to a combined threat of the USSP/NFR

NFR extends its territory west to the foot of the rockies as well as joins with the Free Quebec republic to take the southern part of canada from the British with the exception of British Columbia

Texas makes peace with Mexico as well as annexes as far south as the Yucatan and as far east as the arizona border. the norther border runs along the upper oklahoma border and runs east till it hits Utah border.

California breaks from the USSP to form the Empire of California.
Invades and takes baja california from Mexixo as well as nevada and arizona. the oregon territory as well as BC become states of the EC as does the Yukon and Alaska.


That's pretty much it. Any feed back would be helpful. Thanks
