Czechoslovakia could definitely keep Subcarpathia, it might have gone easily this way. Getting Lusatia (either protectorate or outright annexation) is plausible, had Beneš & co. expressed interest. Getting Glatz is possible, but in a TL where Poland gets the whole SIlesia (as in OTL), expect...
"Republic" and "Lord Mayor"? That does not integrate well, neither the United Kingdom. However, this might actually work (without the "Republic" part) - the City of London is made into something akin to a Crown Dependency, responsible only to the monarch (or King-in-Council in modern times) and...
Surviving British Empire, with the union including both Canada and Australia (these two are easy) - especially if India stays in (that is a challenge by itself, but doable), it will easily be the largest in both population and land area. This probably requires evading WWI (and subsequently no...

Yugoslavia was also my first thought.
Reformed Soviet Union is a possibility - complains about the dominance of the RSFSR lead to all the 12 (because no way the Baltic states remain in the Union) republic capitals declared de iure to be equal. Though Moscow remains the hub and the seat of most...
"The Slovak way" - Slovakia was not invited to the first round of expansion, because of less than democratic tendencies of the government. Mečiar was not called the Slovak Lukashenko for nothing, though he (fortunately) failed to rule the mass media and to consolidate his power. And he very much...
Vatican could very plausibly increase its population tenfold, if the territories that enjoy extaterritoriality OTL were included in the country. The most likely POD is a different outcome of the Lateran Treaty in 1929.
(the country might be called differently, though - but even keeping OTL name...
If anything, the opposite - for a short while there were hopes for a continuing monetary union. But in face of the economic turmoil and the economy of Slovakia tanking faster, it is pretty obvious everyone would blame "the other half" for either dragging them down, or unjustly profiteering on...
Hard to beat the good ol' Simeon, with the first "turn" in 1943-1946, and his triumphant return in 2001-2005. And it is not that implausible he would narrowly lost in 2001, and won in say 2009. That's 54 years gap OTL, and 63 years is entirely plausible. And it is even within the realm of...
East Lusatia

Short form: Lower Sorbian: Łužyca; Upper...
Even better - there is a widely known (though perhaps unfounded) story that the UK donated to Yugoslavia the hotel suite prince Alexander read born in, on order to be born on "Yugoslavian soil" and remain eligible for a king.
Well, two thirds of 0 is 0, no problem here. Though, while obvious to...
Well, even if we admit that Romania and Bulgaria, the Baltic countries and even Greece are western European (and even colonizers[*}) countries, it would be a stretch indeed to include Turkey...
{*} a case can be made about Greece being a prime example of a colonizing country, but that was...
