Realistically, what would have been the furthest extent of Napoleon's reach during the revolutionary wars? It seems like France at the time, despite the terrors and infighting and so forth, had no shortage of capable officers who could go on adventures abroad.
* Ireland becomes yet another sister republic thanks to an expedition by Lazare Hoche under more favorable weather- AH discussion thread here.
* Egypt becomes a vassal by Napoleon appointing Menou (which wouldn't work, the guy was incompetent and deluded), or IDK, bribing the Albanians to fight the Mamluks and Ottomans a few years ahead of schedule and then Muhammad Ali rises up early as a French ally.
* Poland becomes a full-fledged kingdom, rather than just a duchy.
Anything else? As you can see, I'm interested in the weird edge cases where Napoleonic influence reached the fringes of Europe. I suppose we can also talk about less exotic examples such as Napoleonic Spain not being as doomed as in real life, but that seems even more implausible. Points if you put more of his family on the throne of Warsaw or hell as pharaoh in Egypt. Double points if you have another Bernadotte-type situation where a random French officer becomes the new king.
