One, if the Confederate states won... hmm, that would be really odd, and interesting to think about. You could guess that America's main border issues wouldn't be with Mexico, that'd be sure. But... what pieces of his character would change if you took the Southern influence of the stereotype out of it? (Just from an analytical point of view. Because, think of it, these characters' personalities are based on popular stereotypes. Himaruya's America is a surprisingly solid mix of both North and South, which you don't often see. But how would his character change if he were purely a Northern USA stereotype?? Food for thought.)

Also, Civilization? Try basing a Hetalia alternate history timeline off of a game of Risk! Those can get really odd! Though I have played a great game where Canada won all of North America (and later a large portion of the world) by simply asking nicely. No joke. XD While one player stationed in Eastern Europe was slowly swallowing up all of Europe and Asia (Become one with Russia, da? Didn't help that she was playing the red soldiers. lol. Lot of commie jokes were tossed about) and Africa was floundering around picking poorly ending fights with Asia and South America, Canada was keeping Asia at bay and America was holding off all of South America single handedly. Without anyone really paying the two any mind (They were more focused on the steady expansion in Europe, and Africa's hilarious follies) America gave Canada the entire US in exchange for free passage over to Asia to conquer and destroy. XD With the entire North American continent, Canada was able to come up with enough troops to crush South America, America forced Russia into a corner and killed them slowly and painfully, and then both Canada and America divvied up the rest of Asia, Europe, and Africa, and ended the game with a happy truce between the two.

Muahaha! Killer North American Brothers, unite! >:D
