Hello all of you very, very good people. So I started a SW in the thread below with the basic thinking that I had far more of a world than the protomatter I actually had. Thus when it came to the details I quickly ran into an Iron wall. I do in fact want to make a Timeline out of this concept, its what I hope is the culmination of a fantasy idea that I have had running around my head for literally longer than is healthy.

Some of the really bright sparks, your all bright, out there can see the origins of this idea, It is of course Robert Sobel's 'For want of a nail' that is the progenitor of what you see, as well as that there is also elements of 'American commonwealth' and Napoleon53's 'What Madness is this which is where the four Germanies came from. So my knowledge of the American Revolution and the early part of the nineteenth century being limited I humbly ask you good people for your help.
A few ideas of my own for discussion, In the OP of the SW I refer to a 'British Commonwealth', rather than this being the classic alternate history trope of a federal British Empire, it instead denotes a Federated UK with the full name being 'United Commonwealth of Great Britain', the premise I have in mind here is for the American Rebellion to drag on to the point that it foisters a revolt in the UK, leading to, among others, the war ending in a stalemate that sees John Burgoyne as the Governor of the CNA, with George Washington as his Prime Minister, the aforementioned 'Compromise of Philadelphia'.
Staying with Europe for the moment as well as the Scandinavian Kingdom, I was initially considering making Hanovaria, Rhineland(Saxony) and Bavaria all republics with just Prussia as a Kingdom, again no idea how. Also an Austro-hungary that is reduced to literally Austria and Hungary and a 'Commonwealth of Yugoslavia' that forms in 1903, avoids the disasters of the future and successfully defends itself against two later invasions. Thats all.
Okay, heres the updated Map, I've added the British Commonwealth, and I've started drawing in the eastern Prussian Border, were would be the best place to site its borders with Hanovaria?
Yours in good faith
Luath
