But for example Napoleon didn't annexed Francophone areas in Switzerland.
And a Napoleon would still be the king of Italy.

Valais was annexed to France, though.
As a rule of thumb, Napoleon didn't give up land, and if he did it was outside of what could be considered the core geopolitical aspirations of France at the time.
Which were the Rhine Border and Piedmont.
Here we see the desk of an ad-man, (probably 1965 or so) from another timeline, where the Atlantic Revolutions of the 18th and 19th century shake out quite differently

What is the situation with the far northern islands in the Atlantic? Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands their own kingdom? As for plans Napoleon would probably do what the French did IOTL and restore Danzig, which the Prussians had only seized in the last decade or two, to independent status so the Poles have a friendly port at the mouth of the Vistula. Might also be Lithuania is independent or its own thing? I don’t think Nappy thought about the Balts too much, so who can say which way he would lean.
This is sweet. Love the little "easter eggs" for what's beyond Ireland here

If Napoleon only wanted areas that spoke French in his country then he would have less territory than modern France does.
Do you mean a Bonaparte would still be King of Italy? Just checking, as some people seem to think Napoleon and his son would always be King of Italy. He only took the position because his brother and his nephew both declined it, and he immediately made his stepson/adopted son Eugene his Viceroy. France might not want to give up Genoa, Piedmont, Tuscany, and Rome to this state, but it is possible that most of them go into one country with the right POD, or if local rulers manage to keep order so the French didn’t decide to annex the lands instead of just looting everything but the murals. As shown with Spain, the French would find a reason. Might I suggest France keeps Piedmont and Liguria/Genoa, Tuscany goes to a spare relative of his (maybe this time he manages to force his republican brother to divorce his wife so he can marry the Grand Duchess of Tuscany/Queen of Etruria ), and then Italy gets the Illyrian Provinces? In my head it seems aesthetically pleasing, but Rome is a sticking point as it had such historical significance, despite its lackluster economy. Maybe Napoleon’s uncle, who was a cardinal, gets the Papal Tiara?
Wouldn't Cyprus and the Aegean Islands join the new Peloponnesian-Cretan Greek state? Also, why don't the Aromanians have their own country south of Albania in Epirus?
(Same universe as the Danube Monarcho-Socialists).
The Argentine Reich is a one-party totalitarian dictatorship that extends over part of South America. It was founded between World War II and World War III by Hermann von Goering, who had been exiled by the conquests of Bonapartist France.
After his victory in the 1943 elections, he chose to ban all other parties and embarked on an expansionist project with Brazil to dominate the subcontinent. Although these attempts were thwarted by the technocrats of Peru and the Surreal Republic of Gran Colombia, which had become much stronger and more resistant, both nations managed to expand greatly, amassing considerable power.
Today, the Argentine Reich is a corrupt and decadent nation under the rule of a bureaucracy that is maintained only by its brutality. The Reichkomissariat Mittelamerika is its sole colony, where various soldiers and petty party members go to enrich themselves from the vast network of trafficking and slavery, usually becoming landlords within the heavily impoverished region. From Goeringsburg, the capital, French diplomats act to support the racialist and highly esoteric regime of the Reich, usually crushing rebellions and ensuring that there is no opposition to the government, even sabotaging the Techno-Magistrate of Peru (a technocratic authoritarian state that managed to make a thriving country out of the poverty that everyone suffered decades ago) with the State of Brazil (a military junta).

Absolutely amazing. Could we get a rough 1-a handful of sentences rundown of each country shown on this map?

They are part of the British recognized realm of Denmark-Norway.
Honestly yeah I can see Danzig remaining independent. I think I just thought about good looking borders, but a Polish friendly port does seem like a smart thing to have.
The Commonwealth itself I imagine being split between Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia.
Cyprus and the Aegeans were supposed to be part of this Greek state in the more radical proposal to split the Ottomans. But I thought this was a bit too radical and weird looking.
And for the Aromanians there simply wasn't any mentioning.
Even getting what they meant with Bulgaria and Albania in that proposal was hard enough.
If you want thinks really Radical, have th Russians, British, or French keeping Corfu or Malta (all had sorta claims due to wartime occupations) or have Egypt with Cyprus. Speaking of which, what is the situation in Albania? Republic, confederation, a kingdom with an Albanian Christian or Muslim incharge? Unsure how Montenegro is surviving with three much larger states now around them, rather than Ottomans (who had no point to invade) and an independent Ragusa. Anyways, what plans are you going with for the Balkans? Was it the one with France backing up the Russians there? Or are the French or Austrians setting up their own clients?
Based in this plan.
Thanks
That proposition is interesting, from what I get it wouldn't include most of Gallicia, Astures or Northern leon (maybe Cantabria too? not sure what those provinces the text talks about are), they would be awkwardly linked to Castille only through Portugal..
Anyway while we're onto napoleonic proposals
1) There were two crisis in 1802 and 1808 between France and Algiers over Piracy (such that would lead to the barbary wars); on July 28 1808 an official report written after a governmental inquiry by Jeanbon Saint-André, the old consul of France in Algeria and then governor of Cisrhenian departements over the course of action to follow concluded that a Naval attack on Algiers would be useless because of new fortification, and it strongly advocated for a "Boots on the ground" intervention to take Algiers "to be accomplished in 8 days".
"
In 1808, Algiers returned to the forefront of the scene. Thus, on February 2, Napoleon wrote to Champigny, his minister of foreign relations:
"Monsieur de Champagny, I give orders to the minister of the navy to dispatch a brig from Toulon to Algiers. You will send him your dispatches for Sieur Dubois-Thainville, to whom you will give the order that if, 48 hours after the request he will have made, the dey does not return the Genoese, Corsican and Italian slaves, in accordance with our treaties, he will have to leave Algiers and make it known to the dey that I am declaring war on him." ""
These threats were reminiscent of the crisis of 1802 and the ultimatum (with threats unrelated to the real preparations of the moment) of July 27 of that year: "If you refuse to give me satisfaction, and if you do not repress the licentiousness of your ministers who dare to insult my agents, and of your ships who dare to insult my flag, I will land 80,000 men on your coasts, and I will destroy your regency.""
2) It seems that there were 2 additional scenarios for the joint Franco-Russian partition of the ottoman empire that appeared during discussions between Caulaincourt, Nikolay Rumyantsev and Alexander I that followed the February 2 1808 letter from Napoleon to Alexander about a joint attack on the ottoman empire and that led to the Congress of Erfurt
"Dismentlement if both Russia and Austria participated to the Indies expedition"
France: Albania, Candia (Crete), Morea
Russia: Wallachia, Moldova, Bulgaria
Austria: "Turkish croatia" and Bosnia (France reserved the right to claim parts of them)
Independent Serbia led by an austrian archduke
"Wider dismantlement of the Ottoman empire":
France: Albania, Candia (Crete), Morea, All Aegean islands, Cyprus, Rhodes, Echelles du levant, Syria, Egypt, and an open military road from France to the Levant through russia and Austria.
Russia: Wallachia, Moldova, Bulgaria, Parts of Rumelia, Bulgaria
Austria: "Turkish croatia" and Bosnia (France reserved the right to claim parts of them), Serbia, Macedonia with an Aegean coast
Also, what is the extent of water level rise?.As the Kawn Marches Forward
What if the Mongol Empire never existed?
It must have been quite traumatic for the Yuchi to have split from the Creek/Muskoke given that based on archaeology, culture, and linguistics, the ancestors of each group seem to have had a relationship going back at least to the 14th century and maybe as early as the 12th century.
