Here is my global cover for Ephraim Ben Raphael's Homeland of Angola EEUSG entry. Many thanks to him for all of the help, and providing much of the text below.
- The Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were victorious in the First Global War, and in the Second Global War.
- Germany is still under the Hohenzollerns, who transitioned begrudgingly towards a more constitutional monarchy in the 1920s.
- Austria-Hungary split into two governments, both in personal union under the Habsburgs but totally independent. Some peripheral areas, such as Bosnia and Galicia, were spun off as independent states.
- Russia is under a bitter nationalist regime which is mad that it lost both global wars, and is in denial about the former regime's responsibility for the less organized and bloody version of the Holocaust ITTL, which primarily targeted Jews, Poles, Ukrainians, the Baltic peoples, and anyone suspected of working with Germany. The modern Russian regime has become a rogue state because of its belligerence towards everyone.
- France was the first Communist country in the world, and was defeated during the Second Global War. A rump-communist regime prevails in Corsica.
- Britain lost their monarchy after the First Global War and a particularly tone-deaf King in the late twenties, and then let most of their colonies go after the Second Global War. They were the much stronger Finland to France and Russia's *Axis (the New Entente) and kept their democracy all through the war, switching to America's side when it ended. The Dominions dropped the monarchy when Britain did or not long afterwards, but Mann chose to retain its Lordship (while still being a dependency of Great Britain) and there's still a rump-House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (they brought back the old name) there.
- The Ottoman Empire gradually disintegrated after the First Global War. The Sultan and Caliph is a symbolic monarch and religious leader, with governance in the hands of the General Assembly and the Prime Minister.
- The Sultanate of Palestine (known as the Sultanate of Israel in Hebrew) is one of the legacies of the German-Ottoman plan to cultivate allies among non-Arab ethnicities, as is Kurdistan. Palestine is technically a kingdom in personal union with the Ottoman Empire, and the Sultan still appoints a ceremonial vizier. They served as a refuge for a lot of the Jewish, Druze, Christian, Yazidi, and others that had to flee when the Turks pulled out of what became the Greater Arab Union. TTL's Palestinian-Arab Conflict has a different dynamic than the OTL Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but it's no less contentious.
- America was neutral in the First Global War, and an ally of Germany in the Second Global War.
- Japan was part of the New Entente, the opposition to the Allies in the Second Global War. The Americans were mostly responsible for beating the Japanese.
- Decolonization followed a similar pattern to OTL: bankrupt European empires spinning off colonies rather than continuing to pay for them, Geoism is a more popular ideology than communism among the ex-colonial nations and Angola was the first but far from the last to adopt it.
- The Homeland of Hindustan is a Hindu-majority state that controls the rest of the non-Indian parts of the former British Raj, including a restive Bengal. Hindustan adopted Geoism not long after Angola paved the way.
- China had a civil war instead of a warlord-era from 1916-1923 (it was mostly over by 1920 though) that ended in a victory by the United Provinces of China. The modern UPC is a rather corrupt democracy that's tried some Geoist ideas but isn't really Geoist.

I'd take it the princely states acceeded to India not for religious reasons (many of them were actually Hindus) but because they were offering a better deal than Hindustan.
