I strongly favour the South America option: it's novel, obviously different from Atlasia, would allow for 'diplomacy' with remnants of Atlasia, it has a ton of fascinating political issues and possibilities for intense ideological debates about then. If we chose US-Canada, then this will become Atlasia with a slightly different setup and that's it - which would be extremely boring.

Yes, South America provides an interesting challenge in that it's not a place which has the capacity to support a wet-dream of a welfare state off the bat, unlike US/Canada or Western Europe.

I encourage uneasy players to take a chance with a South American scenario: nothing says we need to conform fully to RL South American political history, because as long as we interact with issues important there today (which shouldn't be inaccessible to anybody), it should be fun, novel and provide us with an exciting challenge. The issues in South America provide great fodder for discussion and gameplay, and allow for a whole host of ideologies from radical leftists to hard-right neoliberals (and in fact, such a setup would be more realistic than in US-Canada!). I wouldn't mind helping out a GM if need be, since I feel that I have a fairly solid understanding of South American politics and issues, especially for the major countries.

US-Canada, on the other hand, I struggle to see how it wouldn't end up like Atlasia 2.0 with a slightly different system, and as oakvale put it "where we'll just quickly end up in the same liberal/left quasi-utopia as we did in that doomed game" Europe would probably be much the same.

Nay. 21 would be best.

The name Patagonia only refers to a small part of the South American continent, so I don't think it's appropriate.

Yes, South America or Federation of South America is quite fine. Trying to get too creative and imaginative here wouldn't work.

Gran Columbia would be a cool name.
