Description
I'm really happy that Paradox decided to release a DLC focused on South America, however I feel that some of the things that were added or were already present in the base game could really benefit from some improvements. Thus, I present you this mod, which makes the following changes:

-Paraguay:
  • Many changes to the Paraguayan War journal entries and events to allow both for the real resulting borders of the war as well as better alternative history borders for a victorious Paraguay. Paraguay now will get more claims through its journal entries and fulfilling certain conditions will lead to the "Paraguay Victorious" and "Paraguay Defeated" events to award extra territory to Paraguay or its enemies.
  • Alto Paraguay is now split between Paraguay and Bolivia at the start of the game.
  • Paraguay now starts the game in control of parts of Corrientes, Parana and Santa Catarina.
-Brazil:
  • Sulista, Paulista, Nordestino and Amazonic states no longer start as Brazilian homelands. They will become Brazilian homelands through the journal entry to integrate them. Only pops and states controlled by Brazil will be affected.
  • Changes to the Ragamuffin War to make it a bit more challenging for Brazil to win (Brazil should still win pretty much every time if there is no player intervention).
  • The River of Coffee journal entry should now be much more achievable (feedback is welcome).
  • New flag and name for a "United Empire of Brazil and Portugal".
  • Emperor Pedro now has the same hair color and the same eye color as Princess Isabel.
-Mexico:
  • Mexico now has journal entries equivalent to the Manifest Destiny ones, as well as an equivalent journal entry for the Oregon Dispute. It is now possible to acquire Mexican homelands in Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.
-Chile and Argentina:
  • Reworked the 'Conquest of the Desert event' to allow both Araucania and Patagonia to get homelands even if done by the same country. Platinean now takes priority over South Andean (only matters for the United Provinces of South America).
  • Added a decision that triggers an event to redefine the border between Chile and Argentina, allowing for the historical borders (depending on the circumstances) and for the addition of cultural homelands to Patagonia and Araucania.
  • Chile now starts the game with Wealth Voting.
  • Chile now starts the game with its historical flag and will change to its current flag after becoming a parliamentary republic.
-Colombia:
  • The country will keep the name "New Granada" until it has adopted Colombian as it's primary culture.
  • New flag for Colombia once it has adopted Colombian as its primary culture.
  • Restored the historical leader of Colombia at the start of the game.
-Ecuador:
  • Two new historical flags for republican Ecuador, one is used while Ecuador still has North Andean as its primary culture, the other is used once it has adopted Ecuadorian as its primary culture.
-Formable nations:
  • Annexing your subjects is now an alternative way of completing the Peru-Bolivia journal entry.
  • Dynamic flags and names for Río de la Plata (now Platina by default), Gran Colombia and Peru-Bolivia.
  • New names and flags for the Federation of the Andes.
  • If the Federation of the Andes is formed by the United Provinces of South America (Río de la Plata) it will keep Platinean culture, and Guarani culture will be kept as well.
-Other:
  • Some extra dynamic names for Spain, Portugal and Spanish releasables.
  • Added a decision to allow a colonial power to claim West Sahara under certain conditions.
  • Catalonia now also includes Valencia (split state) when released.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything. Please let me know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions.

Colossus of the South is required to use this mod.

not sure if you're still updating this, but currently the changes to on_wargoal_enforced in on_actions overrides the ability for unrecognized nations to earn points towards recognition from enforcing wargoals

@izib: it is possible to trade individual provinces (the tiny zones inside states, you can see them conquered in battles) in events. You could have an event like you describe.

Any possibility to add a border treaty event for Argentina-Paraguay (And probably Brasil and Bolivia should be involved too) The Formosa province is joined into the Alto Paraguay state in Vic 3, meaning it's impossible to get the historic Argentinian-Paraguay border with the in -game mechanics.

Currently my interim solution was to give the Formosa Provinces back to Guarani so Argentina can colonise them, which still lets other nations conquer all of Alto Paraguay if they want. Great work regardless, invaluable mod for Playing S. America!

Thanks for the update, an essential mod for my Argentina playthroughs.
