Aside from being successful, several timelines include the federation's expansion to include other British colonies in the region, and other going even further to include the entire Antilles. Examples include:

* West Indies Federation (13 Fallen Stars)
* West Indies Federation (Central Italy)
* West Indies Federation (Dai-tō-a)
* West Indies Federation (Twilight of a New Era)
