Need Help With an ATL

Possibly in the aftermath, the "Republic of German Austria" (a rump state claiming all Austro-Hungarian lands with ethnic German minority survives. It eventually joins with the Weimar Republic. That means no more German interest in the Slavic lands, for now.

I don't know what you mean by "better fit the provinces in Victoria."

Good idea, but could I possibly get away with reshaping Poland a little bit? Here's my idea:

The first president of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs is Marjan Brikin (Again, I need a better name that is still allegory to my name, Morgan Brikiin). He is one of the shapers of the state, and maybe somehow it's called the Yugoslav Union instead of the annoying name which I'd rather put in an acronym, SSCS. Basically it survives longer than it did in OTL, and it doesn't join under the Serbian monarchy.

Somehow the Yugoslav Union might absorb Serbia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria. They become economically booming, and the nation survives through democracy, where each state in the YU (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Bulgaria) gets equal say in the government.

Basically Marjan Brikin is like the South Slavic George Washington. He heavily admires American democracy, but he just doesn't like the way the United States has treated the natives of America. He's Slovenian, purely just in case I need to restore the original file in Victoria, which is Slovenska Krv, Serbian, while the current one is Slovenska Kri, Slovenian.
 
Here is how I would do this, and it is really not all that complex or really challenging. First you start off in 1848, the reason is the revolutions of that Year. If the revolts manage to win, the it is possible that the nations which would form this union would be independent and they would see the danger from outside threats aka the Ottoman Empire, and maybe Russia, and they unify for common defense.

That could be one of two ideas. After revolutions in Serbia and Bulgaria, and possibly Montenegro, the three nations join forces as the Yugoslav Union.

I had another idea:

WWI goes differently. The USA never gets involved fully in the war - the Entente manages to whoop the Central Powers similar to how they did in WWI, but with slightly less of a victory, maybe. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottomans are forced to pay the Entente war indemities (spelling?). The alliance between the three fall apart, and somehow, tensions arise between Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Germany and Austria-Hungary go to war with eachother. Germany gobbles up Austria and the Sudentenland - Austria-Hungary falls apart into Bohemia, Hungary, and a south-slavic state which becomes the Yugoslav Union, consisting of Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Slovenia possibly. Hungary tries to impose their will on their former puppet, now a state in the Yugoslav Union, but they fail miserably.

Hungary could be left as the same big country it was within Austria-Hungary.
