Here are my plans:
The South: Likely authoritarian, either communist or a semi-Fascist apartheid state.
California: OTL Argentina, but slightly wealthier, less corrupt and more Asian (especially Filipino) influenced.
Louisiana: French speaking, but with Hispanic, Italian, Irish, African and Native influences.

I like the idea of a communist South, and AFAIK, only one other timeline has done that: The Articles of Deconfederation by GBehm.

A brief description of the English speaking countries in The Americas:
  • Canada: Similar to OTL's Canada, except it doesn't have the western half. Split mainly between a French Quebec and an English Ontario.
  • New England: A small, stable democracy, but with a large divide between the wealthy liberal cities and the more conservative and working class rural areas.
  • Alleghenia (The North): Once again, it has a large divide between the large cities and the rural areas, with suburban areas acting as a balance between the two. New York is still the largest city in the English speaking world, although the capital is Pittsburgh.
  • Virginia: Virginia is a strange mix of industrial cities (Baltimore, Louisville etc.), backwoods rural areas and old plantation lands. Virginia was historically oppressive to their Black population (around 35% at independence, but declined to around 25% due to immigration), but has liberalized in recent decades, although there is still a large racial wealth gap and racial tensions.
  • The Union Of The South: The Union Of The South is (or was until recently, I'm still thinking about it) a quasi-fascist authoritarian regime, with oppressive policies and customs toward its large Black minority, which makes up 35-40% of the population. The South has come to the verge of a civil war on multiple occasions since the regime came to power in the Early-Mid 20th century.
  • Columbia: A large country covering much of Northwestern North America, with a liberal coastal trifecta of cities (Portland, Seattle and Vancouver), contrasting with the conservative interior, including the largest Mormon population in the world being located in the Columbia and Snake river valleys east of the Cascades.
  • Patagonia: A desolate, isolated country at the end of the world, Patagonia has a small population and is known for it's natural beauty. It's economy relies largely on ranching, fishing and tourism.
