(Historical) Border Gore Monstrosities We Would Have Liked To See

Some suggestions:

1) Austria-Hungary, except the only parts left are Bukovina and Slovenia, who both refuse to give up the good fight.

2) Mexico-Hungary. The Empire of Mexico somehow prospers, but the Habsburg Empire collapses and the Austrian line goes extinct in the process. For some reason, all the other options look so terrible, the parliament restores the monarchy, which passes down to the Emperor of Mexico.

3) Portugal-England. For whatever reason, this becomes a personal union. However, both mainland Portugal and England are lost, making the Dual Monarchy active instead only in the New England, Southern Brazil, Angola, and the Azore Islands (the capital of the English monarchy)

Had the Mughal Empire survived, or even just been given more attention to detail by historians in the territorial issue, it'd likely be portrayed in maps as not a whole blob, but a plethora of multiple fiefs and governorates.
I'd also enjoy seeing a Paraguay-Uruguay union under a successful Solano Lopez with dominance over the La Plata basin and access to the sea.

The Delian League survives with these same borders:

In a timeline where William Walker wasn't killed the Confederate government flees to Nicaragua. It becomes a militarized rogue state, poor as Haiti and claiming not only everything south of the Mason-Dixon line but the whole of the Golden Circle.

Texas remains a Republic that becomes an Empire after the American Civil War and launches Walker-like expeditions far and wide while also invading Mexico, which shatters like a glass table dropped on rock. California secedes while Cascadia and Deseret follow, dragging the US into another Civil War. Canada is not immune and breaks into British Columbia (joins Cascadia), Alberta-Saskatchewan-Manitoba (the Spanish language tourism ads become legendary), Greater Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Albion (Newfoundland + Nova Scotia + New Brunswick + PEI). With the failure of the United States to secure its west coast and Texans backing a reborn satellite Confederacy and Midwestern Federation, the borders of various North American factions look like a Picasso on acid.

They’d be taken even less seriously due to the insane ramblings resulting from that. At least in modern day.

Oh, and my two cents:

Venice, but they only own the Islands in the Adriatic - Oh and Sicily too for shits and giggles, and the Ionian islands.

Would it though? For the majority of its years of power the Mughal empire was a concessionary state where no noble actually owned any land and taxation rights were given solely at the will of the emperor. Your interpretation works for the 18th century empire perhaps but they already do show the major successor states as independent even while de jure being parts of the empire.
