Australia

No way the one is named "Albertstadt." When translated to English, that means "Albert City." For the capital, ok. But for the colony name? No way.

East coast is without question the better of the two.

All being said, while a west coast nation is possible, you're probably overdoing it. The one in the middle is a bit of a stretch - you should divide it up between the other two. It just has too much desert, and not enough coast. And if you take away coast from the others, then they become iffy.

Japan

Add the Kurils, and Taiwan if you want land past that. It's really not possible for them to hold Manchuria or the Philippines long-term. East Indies is even worse.

It really makes little sense for Japan to not have the Kurils.

Canada

The Quebecois, without being conquered by the Brits, would not go with American annexation. The thought would, quite frankly, repulse them. Nor would the USA even try it.

And, for that matter, the French are not going to hold much of North America. We've been over this before, SS - the French cannot hold their territories, and would be lucky to be left with the eventual British colony of Quebec.

Moreover, the Brits sure as heck aren't going to lose any ground over there to the French. Even losing it to the USA is, quite frankly, ridiculous in this context.

And, for that matter, the rest of the area is British anyways.

Europe

Russia might occupy Prussia in a war, but they wouldn't even consider the idea of actually taking it over.

Denmark already held Schleswig-Holstein - and I don't see anyone letting them have the other one.

The Union of the two Spanish states has very little to do with the Reconquista. It would still happen.

No way the French could beat all of those states for the crown of Aragon. I suspect that Aragon wouldn't like the idea of a French monarch, either.

Overall

Both the French and the Portuguese, as shown several times elsewhere, would have made them into vassals. Bet on the Aztecs getting overthrown first, and replaced with the Thaxcalans, however, as the vassal state in Mexico. Boundaries about the time. Simply put, the human sacrifice would not have gone over well even with the French.

It's entirely possible for a French monarch to evacuate to Mexico rather than die in Europe. But, given things, I doubt they would have left Europe, especially to go to Mexico. French monarchs would likely not even have considered the idea. Quebec would be a far more likely target.
