I guess Ryuku would be the Channel Islands here? Here's my North American take on it:

Last I checked, Mexico is just ever-so slightly less obese than the U.S.

She's been Piet Mondrianized.

What if, the N64's production run lasted until 2008 instead of concluding in 2002:

Maybe BC could just straight-up be merged into Washington state, a la East Germany into the FRG c. 1990. Resultant population would be around 12-13 million. Big, but not humongously so like say a California or a Texas. Or maybe the name could be kept. A lot of East Coast places are named after...
