What's the Hapsburg Empire like? Just an oversized french puppet?

The French certainly intend it to be, but that's not always the case...originally Spain dominated over the other Hapsburg possessions (HRE/Austria, Poland, etc.) but the intervening centuries has seen a number of Spanish reverses, particularly the loss of much territory in North America to the Kingdom and then another large part declaring independence as the Republic of New Spain (ironically, partly due to the perception that France was controlling Spain's policies).

However, there are also some cases of the tail wagging the dog, e.g. the Jerusalem adventure was largely a Hapsburg notion.

In 1859 there is a religiously motivated cold war between France and the Hapsburgs on one side (the [Catholic] Holy League) and Orthodox Russia, with the remaining Protestant lands in northern Europe trying to remain neutral, and the Ottomans and the Kingdom adding radical factors to the equation.

Russia stays far too long in the war, the upheavals are even worse, and the Russian Civil War drags on for three more years. In the end, the Allies intervene, and mediate the Treaty of Omsk. Wilson lives long enough so that self-determination rips the former Empire apart.

That's asking for a U.S.-Japan war.

A random TL I did, which involves Moscow getting hit by a meteorite. It's based in the future, apart from that one change. Everyone decides to get Federal, and Japan and China merge - against their people's will, sure but as China is the larger, nobody votes against this wise decision on the behalf of the Chinese Emp- sorry, I mean People's Republic of China.

Decided to start a series of maps.

What this basically is, is an America that never meets it's Manifest Destany. Pre-Civil War, their borders ended at the Mississippi.

This CW was much, much harsher than OTL. In the end, Britain and France had to step in and clear everything up. France took back Lousiana, along with the Kentucky area, while Britain got the rest. The Division was bitter, with just about everyone hating everyone.

EDIT
1 - West Jersey
2 - East Jersey
3 - Deleware
4 - Green Mountain
5 - Massachusettes

So where does the State of Acadia come from? And what's with the (stupid, in my opinion) state borders in New England?

Acadia stays independant, but once the US comes along, they merge together.

Sorry the borders are stupid for NE:( What did I do wrong?

But Acadia was never independent, and never had borders like that, about half of it was always administered as part of Quebec...

As for New England, my main objections are the use of a name of a region for a smaller part of that region (which is something I tend to get annoyed about far too much- look at my arguements with Wendell about "Swabia"), and the bastardized Vermont (I don't think it even has Montpelier!)... and I like the OTL 6 states, but :p

Would it be alright if someone just cleaned this map up for me? It's a POD where Napoleon beats Russia in 1812 yet is defeated in Spain in 1814. The territorial claims are thus.
1: Russia gives Finland to Sweden.
2: France keeps the provinces of Spain north east of the Ebro.
3: Austria regains Dalmatia.
4: Prussia regains its Saxony provinces.

It's something I've worked on and I realise there's most probably mistakes but if you can help, it would be much appriciated!

Concerning Acadia - I thought I'd seen maps that incorprate that land, but once again, I'm probably wrong. What should it be called?

Sorry, I'll forget about this series now.
