So this is the map that I've been working on after my first attempt at making a decent map of North America for Ivangorod 2.0 was seen as a bit of a disaster (obviously the blank map that I used was rather too large).
It's set in a world where England never became a world spanning empire, and her would-be rivals benefited at her expense. Two out of the three PoDs that I've chosen in this case are:
* The stillborn son of Henry VIII who was born on January 29th, 1536 survives his childbirth and is christened as Prince Richard, later on he became Richard IV. His survival past infancy gave Henry VIII the heir he desperately needed.
* 100 German builders successfully escaped from the port of Lubeck with Hans Schlitte's help due to the port authorities' partying in a local pub. Their oblivious actions allowed the builders to arrive in the port of Ivangorod where Tsar Ivan IV gave them the task of rebuilding what was supposed to be a decent port. With Ivangorod's completion of its reconstruction, Muscovy has managed to enter the Baltic trade a few hundred years earlier.
Unfortunately, Richard IV's heir with Anne of Denmark turned out to be an incompetent ruler, and Alfred of England's fatal mistake of ordering a brutal reprisal against the Irish population after 300 English settlers were killed allowed the Spanish Empire to obtain basing rights in the English Channel with a desperate Irish Kingdom in need of protection against the English occupation. Thus a much more prepared Spanish Navy was able to stop English attempts to reinforce its garrisons in Ireland, resulting in Alfred of England's successor ascending into the throne in England's first elections for a monarch.
With England absent from world affairs and a war torn Europe that has suffered from an indecisive conclusion of the alt-Thirty Years' War (named the Second Hundred Years' War since the real beginning of the conflict started in the 1540s), Spain's American colonies grew at a modest rate, but North America has been surprised by Sweden's expedition to build a new colony. *New Sweden was officially founded as a colony in the Penobscot River, and after hearing of its potential as a starting point for Sweden's entry into the fur trade, the Vasa dynasty decided to invest in its development, and with France distracted by another war against Spain, New France suffered from the shortage of soldiers, combined with the Swedes' successful attempts at allying with the Iroquois, New France was conquered and New Sweden was subsequently renamed to Vinland in honor of the original Norse colony by the same name.
Swedish colonization of North America is similar to how the French colonized it (with the Swedish 'pioneers' trekking inland and intermarrying with indigenous women) but the Swedish Empire now have a surplus of Protestant German refugees to settle in. As Swedish Vinland eventually expanded southwards, Sweden and Spain often clashed in three separate wars which often resulted in more gains for Sweden. At one point the Swedes controlled a portion of South America until they traded it to France in exchange for monetary compensation in the aftermath of the alt-Seven Years' War (named the Six Years' War). Below is the map of North America in the year 1780 on the final stage of an alt-Napoleonic Wars (named the Caesarianist Wars)
At the same time, Russia also expanded in North America as well, even going as far as the Staulo River (OTL Fraser River), but the bulk of North America's uncharted territory is owned by the Great Northern Company (TTL's Hudson Bay Company)
List of cities according to legend:
1 - Fort Fleming, Penobscot, Vinland
2 - Nyavasaborg (OTL Washington, DC)
3 - Nyamalmo (OTL New Orleans, name means 'New Malmo')
4 - Bellingsgard (OTL San Diego, named after Wilhelm Sebastian Von Belling, one of the Swedish pioneers who journeyed into the Pacific coast)
5 - Oxenstierna (OTL Los Angeles, named after either Olaf or Axel Oxenstierna)
