I was playing a mind game about an independent Transylvania in the inter- war period. I started to imagine scenarios where Transylvania would have become independent. I then got the idea that if Romania had been a Central Power, they would probably not have got Transylvania, and the Romanian population that was the majority would not want to be a part of Hungary. Perhaps the nations in Versailles would have created Transylvania to limit both Romanian and Hungarian interests.
I'd imagine Transylvania would be a Switzerland like confederated nation, which would at least start as a democracy, and consist of it's 4 nations; the Romanians, the Magyars, the Szeklers and the Germans. The president would be Romanian according to the constitution.
Now I just need to get the Transylvanians to somehow survive Bela Kun's Hungary (i'd imagine both Hungary and Romania would desperately try to invade, perhaps a large entente peace force would be deployed in Transylvania).
