Mutiple North American Nations

Nova Albion - Pretty much goes hand-in-hand with the Cascadia, Oregon, Republic of the Pacific comments.

Misquitia - The British protectorate over the Miskito tribe on the Caribbean coast of Central America.

Pueblo state in US Southwest that results from a more organized Pope's Rebellion.

Vermont - It wouldn't really be a break-away state if it wasn't originally part of the US.

West Florida - Actually existed.

Chan Santa Cruz - A state of the Crusob Maya along the Yucatan coast, north of Belize. It was supported by the British government at one time.

Lakotah - Some kind of Plains Indian State that breaks off from the French Empire at some point.

Illinois - French Illinois Country, lost to the British like Quebec. There was still a French-speaking population there after the American Revolution.

Something in the Old Northwest, perhaps a Native American state connected to Pontiac's Rebellion.

There's also all the places that aren't independent today that could be in some alternate world, like Greenland, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Martinique, etc.

...That's all I have for now. I'm not sure that Deseret would count as it was part of Mexico.

Try until 1950. The depression more or less killed it as community language, read a really interesting article on a formerly French speaking town in Illinois when I was at uni, can't remember the name tho...
 
1. Because they fear European nations forming an alliance with those tribes to try and destroy their nation, much like the Spaniards did IOTL with Tlaxcalans and others. Part of that "aid" may include designs on getting these nations to pay tribute and swear loyalty. Conquest wasn't practiced on the same terms as Europeans, ie absolute political domination.

2. They originally migrated from just south of those same areas, and may have traded with tribes as far away as the Mississippi/Ohio Valley.

3. Not if they adopt Euro tech learned from Spanish captives.

4. I don't think there's any completely "wild" part of Mexico since it's heavily populated in TTL. But a maroon community seems quite possible.

The Osage didn't become (slightly) wealthy from oil until fairly late, early 20th cen. And then they were swindled quite a bit, sometimes even murdered for their wealth. In modern terms the average Osage probably just barely got six figures from oil.

But I still don't see Aztecs having the reach to aid those nations. I mean yeah they cound decide to spread horses around and maybe gun powder and steel. But what would they gain from giving the Dinetah such things. The two peoples are extremely distant. If the spanish were totally defeated in Mexico why on earth would they try to make an alliance with people in the middle of the desert about a thousand miles away from Tenochitlan?

Just because the Aztecs immigrated from a region doesn't mean that they would no the land. For comparison the Hungarians immigrated from the Urals within a similar time frame but that doesn't mean the Hungarians could decide to just go on back.

I imagine the trade was only done by intermediary tribes since the distances concerned would mean that the trip by foot would take at least a couple years.

The Osage Nation could have become wealthy so I was including it as an ATL state.
