As the only non Indo-European language still surviving in Europe, it's quite interesting how things would have gone if the Basque kingdom managed to get to America and colonised parts of it. But considering the size of Navarre and the fortunes of the country it may be a little hard to do.
One possibility is that Navarre plays France against Aragon and Castille (or just Spain in the future) to maintain independence when the two powers try to take Navarre over, and Navarre manages to build a strong enough navy to get some weakly claimed possessions off Portugal/Spain.
Another option is to jump back to the early 1000s and maybe have the war of the three Sanchos go much better for the basques where they retain Aragon and Castille while Leon becomes independent. It'd be interesting how things would change if Leon and basque are the main languages of the states of Iberia while the Catalans have their own country. Or maybe we get like five or more countries countries in Spain while the iberian crusades kick the muslims off Iberia.
But well I'd think the best option for them is to go for Argentina and Southern Brazil considering that it is quite far from everything and they'd be in a good position to build their colony there. Australia and NZ are also viable options if their navy is strong enough.
