It's from the excellent book Lost States: True Stories of Texlahoma, Transylvania, and Other States that Never Made It, by Michael J. Trinklein. It's got a bunch of maps and brief descriptions of states that were proposed but never came to fruition. It's pretty interesting, and was my first introduction to alternate history.
I'm curious about why they wouldn't just divide California directly along the 36-30 line, given that the debate over whether California would be a free state or a slave state was the main reason for people calling for it to be divided (at least to my knowledge).That’s a good question. As some were upset at the size of Texas at the time, I could see it being its own state (sort of a rump Rio Grande Republic, in that it’s a republican government and would probably be called Rio Grande). More interesting is whether they’d go ahead with the plan to split California (including Baja, of course), because everyone was upset at how big it was OTL.
To my knowledge that was about the plan originally, though maybe some plans deviated from that?
I think it's based on the counties that were almost entirely below 36-30...

What about a non-Soviet city?
The Pabst Plan (German: Neue deutsche Stadt Warschau, "New German city of Warsaw") was a Nazi German urban plan to reconstruct the city of Warsaw as a Nazi model city. Named after its creator Friedrich Pabst, the Nazis' "Chief Architect for Warsaw", the plan assumed that Warsaw, the historical capital of Poland and a city of 1.5 million inhabitants, would be completely destroyed and rebuilt as a small German town of not more than 130,000 inhabitants.

That's a good one; I thought it was gone from the internet forever when the hosting site for it went down.
They do indeed, specifically something on the proposed territory of Nataqua.
You don't say? Gee I never would have thought that the idea of destroying Warsaw and replacing it with a small lame town to satisfy some demented ideology is a bad thing s/.
Since we seem to be on a Nazi kick right now, may I add the Fuhrermuseum?

Can someone make a WorldA of this proposal? It was a proposal to make an autonomous canton in the mountainous regions of northern Greece, populated by a large proportion of Aromanians, a people living in northern Greece and Northern Macedonia who speak Aromanian, a dialect of Romanian.
 
Ahhh yes, that museum. I remember reading in a book about it and how they described- Well, you know how thousands of people died in the Holocaust from decapitation? Yah, they took the healthiest people (as in those not starving) in camps and would sometimes decapitate them so they had skulls for the museums, in which they could use as examples of their phrenology nose and ears base pseudo science. I do have to wonder about why there seems to be big slops on both sides of the road. And just look at those crane said in the distance..l
Here we have Hitler's plan for the reconstruction of Berlin into a grand capital for his Thousand-Year Reich. Designed largely by Albert Speer, it would've featured the following, among many others:
* The Volkshalle- Probably the most famous and the centerpiece of the whole project, the Volkshalle was to be a massive domed amphitheater capable of seating 180,000 people at a time. At 290 meters (950 ft) tall, it would've been bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza, and would have become host to its own microclimate just from the people inside breathing.
* A triumphal arc measuring 117 meters (383 ft) high and 170 meters (557 ft) wide, which would have been erected after World War II and would have included the names of all Germans who had fallen in past wars.
* Massive new systems of roads, autobahns, and railways. Berlin was to be reorganized along a central 5km (3 mi) boulevard known as the Prachtallee, or Victory Avenue.
* The former Anhalter Bahnhof made into a public swimming pool.
A few of the goals of the project, like widening Charlottenburger Chaussee and placing the Berlin victory column in the center, have stuck around to the present day.
Outside Berlin, a few other buildings the Nazis planned were:
* Deutsches Stadion- A massive stadium in Nuremberg, able to seat 405,000 people at a time. It was going to be host to all Olympic games for the rest of history had the Nazis won.
* The Museum to the Extinct Race- The Jewish Museum in Prague was to be reorganized and basically used as a propaganda tool to teach future generations a distorted view of the Jewish people and how the Nazis "freed" Europe from them.
So since Bougainville had that referendum I was doing some reading on the history of PNG and discovered that France actually tried to colonize it as "New France"! It went horribly.
Attachments
A French PNG would be really interesting if someone (who is much better than me) could do a TL about it. I wonder if New Caledonia, and even the New Hebrides might be attached to it, along with some other French islands in the pacific.
