Vietnam is the only country I can see realistically having a successful communist revolution without being crushed by neighbours afterwards.

The French keep their presence in Lazio, preventing the Italians from conquering it. After Pius IX dies (same time as OTL), Napoleon IV pressures the conclave to elect someone who would liberalise the laws of the Papal States (he wants an end to mandatory worship, an end to the ghettos and limited democracy in order of importance). Who is such a cardinal?

The Federation of South Africa was established with a house of lords instead of a senate and it also includes Lesotho. Stellaland is a separate province in the federation.
Ireland is a separate kingdom from Great Britain, with a revived Irish House of Lords.
The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Jamaica and the Turks and Caicos are all part of Canada. Besides Trinidad and Tobago, the other islands are the United Islands of the Antilles (UIA).
Nigeria has less territory in the northeast but has the southern part of Niger.
Canada, the Gambia, Gibraltar, Great Britain and Newfoundland, Guernsey, Guiana, Hong Kong, Ireland, Jersey, Lanka, Malaya (Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Cocos Islands and Christmas Island), Maldives, Mann, Mauritius (includes Chagos Archipelago), Nigeria, Pitcairn, Seychelles, Shetland, Sierra Leone, (southern) Solomon Islands, South Africa, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkomonuthan and UIA are all members of the Imperial Federation of Nations.
I'm not sure whether the southern part of Ghana is called the Gold Coast or something else. Either way, it is also a member. Bermuda is a county of the United Kingdom. Saint Helena, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha and the Falklands are also a county of the United Kingdom, called South Atlantic County. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, despite being part of the South Atlantic, are part of the Imperial Antarctic Territory.

Updated the previous post. The French (sub)antarctic islands are part of the Imperial Antarctic Territories as well.

Could the North-west Territories and Yukon be a single province? (including OTL Nunavut and northern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as part of the North-west Territories)

Nevermind about the House of Lords in South Africa, it is also a senate

Also maybe just the bloated Northwest with Yukon as a separate province?

The New Zealand Legislative Council becomes elected in the 1910s. Fiji also has an elected legislative council. Fiji's lower house is called the Fijian House of Representatives.

Many Indo-Fijians went to Queensland in the 20th century (with few going to New Zealand, unlike OTL). Immigration of Indians to Australia stopped in 1901, making native Fijians a much more dominant group in Fiji. Queensland Indians outnumber Indians in all other provinces, including Fiji.

Never mind about the Canada questions. I've reworked a lot with Canada:
  • Nova Scotia secedes from the confederation in 1869. They form a separate confederation with Prince Edward Island called the Maritime Union. Newfoundland and Labrador, all the Caribbean possessions that I previously said were part of Canada and Bermuda are part of the Union.
  • Ontario gets all of the area east of the 95th meridian west and south of the 60th parallel north. Manitoba later also expands to the 60th parallel.
  • What remains of the North-west Territories becomes Mackenzie Province in the early 1980s
  • The Yukon Territory becomes part of Mackenzie c. 1990-1999

12 Senators each in Canada, 4 per a province in the Maritime Union. The Maritime Union is much more based on the United States in its constitution. Whereas Canada's senators are still appointed in the modern day, the Maritime Union indirectly elected them until the early 20th century. The Maritime Senate is now directly elected by STV.

I also forgot to mention that Cape Breton eventually broke off and became a separate province within the Maritime Union. Parrsboro was selected as a neutral capital in hopes that New Brunswick would also secede. When the hopes failed to materialised, the Union considered moving the capital in 1890s. This failed to happen because while PEI and Cape Breton wanted to move the capital to Pictou, the other provinces wanted the capital in Halifax. They decided that the status quo satisified everyone a little while a change would leave one side dissatisfied a lot.

I need an alternative symbol to Marianne as a personification of France. Marianne is a symbol of republicanism, and the Second Empire continues ATL.

Global warming is going to be a thing much earlier. Today's conditions might be happening in the 90s. Luckily, I think the push to fight it will be much less politically divisive. Also, China will be one of the first nations to ban chlorofluorocarbons, doing so in the 60s.
