Re: Alternate Versions of Inifinite Worlds
I would want at least a couple Americas that were never colonized from Europe. Maybe a variant of Ezcalli with North America independent to some degree, and definitely a union of Native American neo-states.

In the original GURPS Steampunk, which I wrote, one of the four timelines is Qabala, a "steampunk" world based on golems rather than steam engines. It had the Cherokee encouraging Jewish immigration and some of them seeking to convert to Judaism, hoping to gain golem technology.

Another idea for an alternate: Greater France - A kingdom in exile is based near St. Louis, the French rule North America, with a English speaking enclaves on the east coast. A very late french revolution has removed the king from power in Europe, but he's becoming very well established in the Americas. *It is a mistake to only emphasize foreign policy changes for a third teddy term. The man had what he called the "square deal", and if that sounds like the "new deal", its not a coincidence.

Re: Alternate Versions of Inifinite Worlds
Honestly, I had portals listed for maybe half but tossed them when I couldn't come up with localized place names. It was also partially because I was hung up on national capital, to the exclusion of state capitals.
More examples

Re: Alternate Versions of Inifinite Worlds
Other alternates I'd want to look at:
We need a communist alternate. Actually, we probably need two, one in which the gilded age has a much messier end and America is the first socialist revolution, and another that's some form of soviet victory. An alternate where the US absorbs foreign territory a lot more ambitiously. The Philippines, Puerto Rico, and several central American countries are all states. A Crony Democracy System featuring machine politics, corrupt state bosses, and the occasional bout of mass vigilantism. An America of over 70% African decent: the northern colonization efforts never really took off, and the main thrust of colonization was via plantations.
