Maybe the Welser's could declare themselfes king of La Plata or Welser's land. Then they could sell land to customeers in Germany. Customeers who might want to move for economic reasons. Some sects might also want to emigrate to Welser's land. Becouse of La Plata appearing or being non valueble it can develop into a German settler state in the Americas independant of any European based state.
