Close enough, Dutch-Hanseatic colonization of OTL New England. Surviving Commonwealth allows French consolidation of its hold over Louisiana eastward. Pennsylvania is a surviving Royalist colony aligned with Dutch and Hanse.

Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria are aligned with Poland, Croatia (along with Austria) is an Italian client, Serbia is part of the Anglo-French alliance system, and Greece is largely neutral although generally friendlier to the latest iteration of republican Russia.
I'm trying to resume my The Sun of Rocroi timeline (currently on pause).
To remind myself of most of the territorial changes between the POD and the next chapter, I had fun making this map of Europe in 1661, at the death of Mazarin and the start of Louis XIV's personal reign.

I think Dutchs is veeeeeeeeeeery happy to have border with France
That's right. The Dutch are slightly nervous about the French presence on their southern border.
But this proximity to France had direct consequences for the country's internal politics. The survival of William II of Orange, the establishment of a near-absolute monarchy, a marriage with the Grande Mademoiselle and icy relations with London made France and the Netherlands close allies, and they were to remain so.
To find out more, please read my timeline.

Further continuing my map of Christian denominations by including Russia and Kazakhstan
Yes, in districts where the Germans outnumber the Russians. Had the map been made a few decades earlier, we would have also seen patches of Catholicism and Lutheranism in Kazakhstan as well.
For ages folks have been asking me, mostly on DeviantArt, about if I'd do an X Indonesias thing.
And I had a couple of ideas...
Now in terms of ground rules, Indonesias for this are 1) postcolonial states, 2) have their center of power in the Nusantaran archipelago, and 3) have at least majority control over at least two of the three islands of Sumatra & Java & Sulawesi.
Now two are still missing to get up to the bare minimum of nine entries, but I like what I have thus far. Anyone already got some guesses (they are pretty easy, honestly)?
The Dutch had an idea of making like a separate republic in the East of Nusantara IIRC thst would contain the islands East of Borneo and Java, seemed to lean a bit in favour of the region’s relatively larger Christian population though East Indonesia was still majority Muslim and had many Muslims in government (especially as it slid further from being a Dutch proxy to integrating with West Indonesia). In this framework the Dutch would keep West Papua and West Indonesia would still qualify as an Indonesia by your definition
I very much had that idea on my mind but after doing research, I found that East Indonesia would have no chance of survival unless that idea starts getting implemented before the outbreak of World War II. The green Indonesia actually is my "realistic" take on the aftermath of that, with the Central and Southern Maluku Islands and East Nusa Tenggara forming a rump "East Indonesia" (rename pending), while the remaining islands join Indonesia.
Oh yeah that’s a pretty sensible take, I feel like Sulawesi and the Spice Islands were definitely the odd ones out in East Indonesia in both being larger & more Muslim.
What about a post-British (with annexation in the Napoleonic wars) Indonesia that includes a map showing separatist’s it’s funding in northern Australia which ends up majority Indonesian (mainly Sumatran and Javanese) after the British settle them there as labourers to support the white colonists? Just a thought, IDK how realistic it might be though
