By just tweaking a few historical facts, here’s a “fun” map of a North America that is no longer just two nations [1] (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

[…] Balkanized North America: what if every region that started independent had stayed that way, and every region that threatened to secede from the US or Canada had succeeded? (via ***Dave) […]
