Bump, I left some cliffhangers on the air so I want to know witch country to post next:
The FRA (not for long) will begin the leadership of Andrew Jackson and his quest to dismantle the Federalist Legacy.
The King of Spain is ill and the closest heir is his Reactionary brother.
Tsar Konstantin is also old and his son is an Incompetent naive fool.
Franz is turning old and he still have to react to his grandson's death and the Expanding power of Prussia.
Prussia is rising and taking a leadership position in the German Confederation after the entry of the Netherlands.
There is always commenting about Latin America or Scandinavia.

Well, we could still incorporate aspects of this with OCs being suggested.
I forgot to mention, It was seized by Britain like South Africa in the peace of Vienna, I could talk about it in a Future chapter, but I can say that the Netherlands will be way more German-centered than IOTL (Maybe they join a German Unification ? I need someone to challenge the French in the future)
Well, we can still use the format to suggest new figures to incorporate in the TL.
Go ahead then ! What are you waiting for ? You can create a character outside of France if you wish.
Name: Albert Boulanger
Home: Bordeaux, France
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Culture: French
Politics: Parti Liberaux (moderate faction)
Background: From a modest middle-class background as the son of a local official, Albert Boulanger has become one of France's leading industrialists over the past few years. He is an ardent supporter of the Parti Libereux as well and is heavily interested in the new-fangled techologies of steamships and railroads. As for his family life, he has a son named Jean-Claude and a daughter named Irene
Name: Justin Pelletier
Home: Paris, France
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Culture: French
Politics: Parti Liberaux (radical faction)
Background: Justin Pelletier is currently a professor in the Sorbonne. He is well-known for his radical political views, advocating a form of proto-socialist thought as well. In the aftermath of the Second French Revolution, he has felt confident enough to publish his proto-socialist ideology in a book as well. His economic thought advocates for cooperatives to be the basis of the economy and for some form of mutualism to be adopted along with what in OTL would be called Georgism.

Hmmm, I can definitely use the latter character (I probably already butterflied Marx by now.), anyone else want to try ?
Maybe we could have Boulanger end up being one of the richest men in the world with his investments and maybe he ends up being involved in French colonial efforts in Africa and Asia? As for Pelletier, I imagine his socialist ideology to focus on gradual reform and peaceful activism, seeing revolution as a "last resort".
TL: 1829-1834
1829 Will be events restricted to the FRA/USA.
1829: Andrew Jackson defeats the incumbent John Quincy Adams, becoming the first Whig President. His first act when taking power was rename the country to United States of America again, a clear symbolism of his campaign against the Federalist Party and their legacy. He increased the size of the Supreme Court to 15 judges and appointed several anti-Federalists to take the new seats, using them to nullify many Federalist laws, like the 2/3rds Vote of States.
1830: (USA) Jackson dissolves the Central Bank of America and the University of Columbia, on the grounds of opposing Centralization and fight for State Rights, with the end of the 2/3rds majority, several new states are created in the south. Jackson instituted a 2-Term limit to Presidents and was blocked in an attempt to Abolish the electoral college, that didn't stop him from becoming a Populist, demanding that Public Officers that didn't listen to the population of their districts to resign. (Europe) Napoleon I dies, his son soon become a Ruthless Autocrat, closing the Senate and opposing Press while brutally murdering his opposition, as result the French people and defective Marshalls rebelled on the Bastille day, Napoleon II was killed and an National Assembly elected Napoleon's second son as Constitutional Emperor (Napoleon III), the Revolution spread to the Continent in Poland, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, most of them were Brutally crushed with only the Dutch one being relatively successful in bringing independence from France. But the results bring Prussia to a strong position over the German Confederation.
1831: (USA) Andrew Jackson continues his war against Federalists, the Federalist amendments were declared unconstitutional and an affront to the States' Rights. He also continued his war against the Banks, declaring the right to print and distribute money to be exclusively under control of the Government, the aggressiveness of Jackson caused a call for Impeachment made by Federalists, the attempt was narrowly blocked by the Whigs and continued to discredit the Federalists. (Europe) Marshall Ney becomes the first French Prime Minister, his government would be remembered as a force for stability at home and expansionist wars in Algeria. Order is finally restored totally after the Revolutions, Tsar Konstantin I falls ill, many worry that his 11-year old son Boris Romanov would become Tsar: The boy was young, arrogant, incompetent, and volatile. The Tsar quickly recovered but the fears remained.
1832: (USA) Andrew Jackson starts to transfer the natives of America to a set territory West of Mississippi (Oklahoma), several native tribes agree to sell their territory and march West while many others refuse and fought government forces, but it was a losing battle and by 1840 most of the natives would be living in the "Indian territory" and thousands would die in the way there, called "Trail of Tears". The Federalist Party was seen as Elitist and corrupt, that manipulated the system for over a decade to remain in power. Jackson won by a landslide and the Federalists felt what the Democratic-Republicans did. (Europe) Napoleon III married Théodolinde de Beauharnais and all the Continent expected the results. The King Ferdinand VII of Spain falls ill, the next of the throne is his brother Carlos.
1833: (USA) The Federalist Party is dissolved, from there an new party arrives: The Democratic Party. The main opposition to Jackson. (Europe) The King of Spain, Ferdinand VII dies, there was a issue about succession but due to the Salic law, his baby daughter was rejected by the Nobles. But the Liberal parliament refused to allow the Reactionary Carlos V as King, the army sided with Carlos and arrested the Parliament, Absolutism was back in Spain. But Liberals escaped south and started an armed Urprising in Andalusia and Granada, the First Christino War had begun.
1834: (USA) Andrew Jackson is attacked by a radical ex-Federalist, the Assassin mixed with a crowd and got close to the president, his gun failed in the first shot but the second didn't fail as the President was hit in the chest, he was rushed to a Hospital but not before smashing and hitting the Assassin's head with a Crane. The President fought for his life for 3 days until he died, Martin Van Buren became President and the first of Dutch descendency. (Europe) The Algerian War ends as the last Tribes of the Barbary Coast are brought to knees, Marshall Ney goes back as a Hero and runs election for Prime Minister as a Moderate Candidate of the Conservatives vs the Liberal "Civilian of the Revolution" Adolphe Thiers. Ney got a close Victory against his younger opponent, but the Liberals got a Victory in Overall seats and while the Senate changed Little, the Assembly was now divided 210-150 for the Conservateur. The Christinos make several gains, capturing the Largest cities of Southern Spain, fighting against Loyalist forces, they had their first share of victories, but soon their advance would be halted.

Spanish Latin America I: 1820-1834
The States of Latin America went into a phase of Stabilization and Consolidation.
Mexican empire: Extending from California to Nicaragua, the Mexican Empire declared Independence during the Chaos in Spain in the early 1820s, General Agustín de Ituribe led the Army of the 3 Garantees that united Liberals and Conservatives for the Independence. The Victory was achieved and the Congress followed the Garantees: Independence, Catholicism and Monarchism. Agustín was part of a Regency council while an Experdition went to Europe looking for an Emperor, but he took power after Ferdinand VII refused the Personal Union under equal Status, becoming Emperor Agustín I. But the Experdition wasn't over, they went to the court of Napoleon I Bonaparte, he was much more friendly to the idea and Recognized the Mexican Independence. Napoleon's brother Louis Bonaparte was invited to become Emperor of Mexico, he accepted. When arriving in Veracruz, the Congress turned on Ituribe, allying with Guadaloupe Victoria and Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Ituribe was couped and expelled and Louis Bonaparte became Emperor Luíz I Bonaparte. Luíz became an Emperor with a Constitution, fighting against Republicans and Separatists in Central America, he decided to Federalize the Empire by giving great autonomy to Central America. He also defeated several attempts of Recolonization by Spain and became loved by the people.
Gran Colombia: Bolivar's death in 1824 caused a commotion over all South America, he had just finished the expulsion of the Last Spanish Loyalists in Peru and his Legacy was immortalized, his Vice-President Santander took the office of President of Gran Colombia, he used the opportunity to recall the Congress and declare an new Constitution inspired in the Federalist Ideas, giving great Autonomy to the States of the Federation, allowing Venezuela and Equador to have their own Parliaments and Presidents, Each one of the 3 Republics elected a President, but General elections still elected the President of the Federation that had the authority to intervene over the Provinces. The Federalist Principles prevailed and the Centralist Movement was very weakened after the death of Bolivar.

Yep, But also because it would be pretty realistic to invite a member of the most powerful Family of Europe.
Maps I
In Europe, there weren't really big changes other than the Map of France in the Prologue and others that were mentioned in other chapters, instead I will give you the Maps of the Mexican Empire and Gran Colombia.
Spanish Latin America II: 1820-1834
Peru-Bolivian Confederation (Andinean Republic): The defeat of the Royalists of Peru opened way for the Unification, President Gamarra was elected and he quickly organized an army to invade Bolivia, forcing the resignation of President Sucre and the election of Marshall Andrés de Santa Cruz, both the Presidents believed that the division of Peru and Bolivia was a mistake that should be fixed, but they were divided between a Peru-Led Federation or a Bolivian-Led one. After a year of debates a compromise was found: The Gran Colombian Federalism would be applied with the two nations having a Parliament for Local Laws and a Main one Located in the Old Incan Capital, Cuzco. The President would be chosen locally in each country and a rotators presidency was created, one Mandate for a Peruvian and other for a Bolivian, the first President would be Santa Cruz. The Federation was formed in 1827 and was opposed by Gran Colombia, the United Kingdom of La Plata, and the Republic of Chile, but the death of Bolivar and the Cisplatinean War distracted their neighbors.
((Map of Pastaza conflicts with Gran Colombia because both claim it))
Chile: Chile became a Dictatorship after independence under the leader of the Independence Bernardo O'Higgins and he immediately conflicted with the Traditional elites, he founded the Chilean navy and Created the Military academy, on the models of the French Napoleonic Army but with greater emphasis on discipline and professionalism. But he was eventually exiled to Peru, he resigned himself to avoid a Civil War and gave up the power to the old Criollo Conservatives.
Imperio de La Plata/Platinean Empire: A Monarchy was never a serious Idea after the independence in the early 1810s, but the Chaos of the Republic proved itself to be the best Argument as the Central Authority collapsed and the Republiciwas divided between Unitarios and Federalistas. They fought amongst themselves in a Brutal Civil War, with several provinces allying and fighting against others in "Pacts" like the Western Provinces in the "Tucuman Pact" and the Eastern ones in the "Federal Pact", the Brazilian Empire used the opportunity to occupy Missiones Orientales and Banda Oriental while the "Government" in Buenos Aires let them do it to weaken the Federals. The Decentralization turned the Provinces into literal Nations and La Plata could not be considered a Single Nation but more like the Holy Roman Empire or the German Confederation. Until the Criollo Juan Manuel de Rosas took Control of the Province of Buenos Aires in 1824 during the Anarchy, he installed a Totalitarian rule with a Cult of Personality, using of deception, backstabbing, war, and Machiavellian Diplomacy, Rosas was able to Unite the Provinces of Argentina in 1827 in provoking a War with Brazil, he used that to become Head of State and further increase his powers and Influence, after the Reconquest of Banda Oriental, Rosas called a Congress in Buenos Aires, where he turned his enemies against eachother and defeated both the Unitários and Federalistas. He installed Buenos Aires as Capital of Argentina and Declared himself "Emperor of the Plate", Becoming Juan Manuel I de Rosas, he quickly United the Army and crippled the Autonomy of the Provinces in the Constitution of 1830. The Emperor crushed his opposition during the Campaigns of 1830-1832 where the Imperial Army destroyed Republicans and Federalists, the Unitarios decided to side with the Emperor as he did their wishes and had considerable influence in the government. Juan Manuel I was an Autocrat that very Inspired in Napoleon I Bonaparte, he considered himself as the "Napoleon of Americas". When the country was finally stabilizing in the late 1830s, he would turn his focus on Modernizing La Plata.
