I have always thought that a country similar to the modern US could emerge somewhere other than North America. Here are some features of the US that I'm looking for:
- founded by European settlers at the expense of the native population
- Geographic isolation (the rest of the world did not know the existence of the land before being colonized)
- Freedom of religion and thought
- Started as a smaller nation, but became a superpower in the 20th century
- a Democratic nation, to a certain extent. Being a monarchy or republic
- current population of over 50 million to 500 million and with a great diversity of skin color
- Territorial area between the 7 largest countries in the world today, coast to two more oceans or more (Arctic and Antarctic oceans are not worth, only the Atlantic ocean or Indian Ocean or pacific ocean.)
-climate varied with dry and hot areas (desert or savannah) and cold and humid areas (mountain chain or tropical forest)
-This nation may include parts of the United States homeland without overdoing it
This nation may coexist with the United States but it must have equal or superior power to the United States
POD can be in any period, but preferably after 1400. I'm not asking you to write a timeline - I just want to have a discussion if a nation like US can exist outside the North American region. Since it has to start as a colony, it would probably have to be out of the old world. It should not be situated in the same place as the actual US but anywhere else in the world is fine. Even Canada and Mexico are ok. Probable candidates, I think, would be Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Gran Colombia, Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania (Australia), Northern Asia (asian Russia), There are endless possibilities. The colonizer does not even have to be from Western Europe. It could be a powerful empire of northern Europe, Eastern Europe or even of the Mediterranean asia by the Byzantine Empire or ottoman Empire.
Have fun. I look forward to reading your answers.
