The first thing you need is a point of divergence. DO you want it to be relatively recent like 1983: Doomsday? Or further back? I see you've got Scotland as a major power, so the point of divergence seems to be at least a few centuries ago. Maybe a disease decimated much of the world's population or something? Or maybe some asteroid hit the Earth.

The point of divergence needs to be clear as early as possible. Otherwise, you're going to have trouble keeping things together.
