MoF 08: Disbanded North American Viceroyality

This challenge comes from Japhy's suggestion:

"Princely States, Protected Nations and Royal Colonies at the disbanding of the North American Viceroyality 1870."



The challenge is to show the situation either before the disbandment of the Vicroyality of North America, including various sub-divisions such as Princely States, Protected Nations, Royal Colonies, etc.

This Round will close on the 25th of November.

Any questions or comments please make in the Discussion thread.

The Viceroyalty of Louisiana, known to some English-speakers as the North American Viceroyalty. The Iroquois ally with the French rather than the British in the various colonial wars of the 17th and 18th century. This tips the balance enough to let the French win, or do better in, Queen Anne's War and the French and Indian War. The French government begins a full-scale immigration and development project to turn their backwater fur-trading colony into a fully-fledged Viceroyalty as rich as the British Raj in India, and largely give up trying to conquer Africa or India in favor of a North American strategy. Louisiana, as all of French North America is known, is a patchwork of semi-autonomous colonies and tribal protectorates (Indian allies, which were crucial to the early defense of Louisiana, were rewarded with land. Kentucky is like OTL Oklahoma, where all the tribes from different areas are sent). The map is from 1865, the last year Louisiana was at its greatest extent. After this the Era of Strife began, culminating in the global Red and White War (socialists and anarchists vs. monarchists and conservatives) which led to the collapse of the Viceroyalty by 1870. Map in next post.

And here's the map:

Ok, here's mine, from a world where Columbus sailed for Henry VIII rather than for Ferdinand and Isabella...

A simple submission this time around. POD is that the Pilgrims don't return to England and instead sail west for the Dutch. And I apologize for any gratuitous Dutch.

Yes, there are some wierd names, I know
