By just tweaking a few historical facts, here's a "fun" map of a North America that is no longer just two nations (three if you count Mexico), but a good dozen-and-a-half.
Good grist for an alternate history novel, at the very least.

Very cool.
I've always thought of Mexico as being part of North America, though, with the fuzziness depending on political vs. physical geography. Regionally, I tend to break between North America and Central America at the Mexico/Guatemala border, but when talking about continents, I think of North America extending all the way to Panama.
On the other hand, in Latin America they refer to us as "norteamericanos" (or at least that's what they taught me in all my Spanish classes), so perhaps there's something to be said for using the primary language as the dividing line
This is so cool, I wish it happened LOL. Although deseret would have about 5-10 million people, and when did and what country did newfoundland free itself from? Just wondering.
