So the thing is, you must find a non-ASB way to have a sumerian state, a assyrian state, a kurd state, a zaza state, a inuit state, all native americans having a state, a uyghur state, a karakalpak state and a ainu state, prussian people not being germanised, celts being in all of the british isles. There also mustn't be a lingua franca like todays english, in the entire world
 
Is that actually screwing up the World? ;)
Also, does every Native American tribe get its own separate state? That's a lot of states, some pretty minuscule...
Some of these cultures come from widely different eras, too. So maybe this is more an ASB forum question.

Disregarding the feasibility of the entire challenge, I wouldn't -entirely- discount the possibility of a larger confederation of native american states in a style reminiscent of the latter days of HRE, with some kind of elected confederate leadership but with enough room for internal conflict and a weak enough confederate leadership that it is mainly good for defending against external threats.

Have the Sumerians avoid political collapse and defeat the Amorites, retreating west and integrating with the also Semitic Assyrians, who through a number of wars wrest northern Mesopotamia from the Sumerian state.

That alone would screw up the formation of the Indo-Europeans, sooo.. No Germans, Slavs, Celts or Kurds.
 
I think pretty simple. Taiwan builds nuclear weapons.
China starts shooting, US shoots China, etc.
With all things apocalyptic, make the things stated in OP happen. It'll be much more easier.

I agree, the only way to achieve this is a Nuclear Apocalypse that drives us all back to the Stone Age.

Taiwan getting nukes before the year 1900 would be pretty impressive to see...

Read the title & got interested..
Then read it was about 'screwing the world up' in a pre-defined way.
Would have been interesting reading about the POD people might make to have a world with civilization on it that's as screwed up as possible or just screwed up in general.
