Plausibe Different Nation-States

Don't make it all about the "English Oppressors" as the Scottish nobles and middleclass had a vested interest in maintaining the union.

And of course the CoS decidedly came round to it... really, to portray the Jacobites as a nationalist movement is extremely sketchy, but to portray them as a national movement is a flat-out lie. They has areas of support, and areas of next-to-no support.

Indeed, it's one of my rant buttons :D

Catalonia and the Basque country are some ideas.

Scandinavia might work, but it would take a lot of work to not make it ASB.

A Pan- Celtic Federation (Eire, Cornwall, Wales, Bretagne, Scottish Highlands) is ASB, but fun,¨.
 
Silesia, Prussia, Occitania, Flanders, Wallonia, Republic of Ulster, Sicily, Kingdom of Liguria, Andalucia
 
If you want to Balkanize the British Isles, you could have Napleon mount a successful invasion of England He wanted to in OTL, but the British navy was superior to the French and could easily blockade the English channel and prevent the invasion force from landing. If you somehow make the French navy stronger versus the British-say, Trafalgar is a disastrous defeat for them rather than for the French-then a French army led by Napoleon would probably defeat the British on land. Once Britain falls, Napoleon splits it up into Scotland, Wales, England (maybe turning England into several countries for good measure, though that would be rather artificial), and Ireland.

Probably borderline ASB, but I've always wanted to see a "total victory for Napoleon" TL.

Hm. Say Henry VIII has a red-haired son rather than a daughter, and instead of a Virgin Queen England gets a Prolific King whose kids marry into various quality European royal houses. If there is no Stuart claim to the throne of comparable status, is an English conquest of Scotland inevitable? OTL, from the late 1600s on the British were not big on European territorial expansion (aside from in Ireland), focusing more on commerce and the Americas.

Of course, by preserving the Plantagenet line I've completely derailed British 17th century history... :eek:
