How would a geometry with all the usual axioms of Euclidean geometry, except that instead of Pasch’s axiom, we take it negation, look like?

For elementary geometry without the Pasch Axiom, every model is isomorphic to a Cartesian plane over a formally real Pythagorean semi-ordered field $\mathcal{F}$.
More can be said if our geometry has the full second-order continuity axiom. For then $\mathcal{F}$ is (as a field) isomorphic to the reals.
Now let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a non-linear solution of the Cauchy functional equation $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)$, where $f$ is onto and $0\lt f(1)$. Define the order relation $\lt^\ast$ by $x\lt^\ast y$ if $f(x)\lt f(y)$. Then under $\lt^\ast$ and ordinary addition, the reals form an ordered group. The Cartesian plane over the reals, with order relation given by $\lt^\ast$, is a non-Paschian model of geometry with second-order continuity.
References: The use of the Cauchy functional equation to produce a non-Paschian geometry is due to Szczerba, Independence of Pasch's Axiom (1970). A proof that all non-Paschian geometries with full continuity axiom are of the shape described by Szczerba was given by Adler, Determinateness and the Pasch Axiom, 1971.
Remark: The second result has an interesting consequence. Under suitable conditions, we can have a model of ZF in which all sets of reals are Lebesgue measurable. In such a model, any model of the Hilbert second-order geometry minus the Pasch Axiom is automatically Paschian!
