What are some extremely minor, secondary to any given timeline tropes that you like to throw into a given world just because you enjoy them rather than any particular relation to the timeline? Almost a small signature that you like to leave in a given world that doesn't actually affect very much but that shows you were there. I'll start with three of mine:
1. Miami doesn't become a major city via beach resorts in the early 20th century, and rather than becoming weirdly well-developed southern Florida just remains a sparsely populated swamp with not much in it, the largest cities in the state remaining in the Panhandle and the Jacksonville area while the major beach resorts spring up along the rest of the Gulf Coast in places like Panama Beach and Gulf Shores.
2. The easternmost strip of land in Idaho Territory and Utah Territory (visible in the attached image) is never transferred to Wyoming Territory upon its separation from Dakota Territory, leaving Wyoming slightly irregularly shaped rather than perfectly rectangular, the Tetons and a larger portion of Yellowstone in Idaho, and Evanston in Utah.
3. In any timeline without a divided North Dakota and South Dakota, I'll also leave that tiny piece of Dakota Territory north of the Keya Paha River (also visible in the attached image) which was eventually returned to Nebraska in real life with Dakota upon statehood.
