WI: The Inca plan is accepted? Who becomes Monarch?

According to Wikipedia: "The Inca plan was a proposal formulated in 1816 by Manuel Belgrano to the Congress of Tucumán, aiming to crown an Inca. After the Declaration of Independence of the United Provinces of South America (modern Argentina), the Congress discussed the form of government that should be used. Belgrano proposed that the country be ruled by a constitutional Monarchy headed by an ethnic Inca. The proposal was supported by José de San Martín , Martín Miguel de Güemes and the northern provinces, but found strong resistance from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_AiresBuenos Aires. The Congress would ultimately reject it, creating instead a Republican government."
Lets say that the plan is accepted and go's threw. What happens next? Who's the heir to the Inca throne? How is the government set up? If the monarchy lasts, will creating other South American monarchies catch on or no?
 
By this point, would it have even been possible to trace the closest direct descendent to the last Inca emperor? Was Inca identity still that strong that you'd have had an equivalent to the Comte de Paris waiting in the wings?
 
In the early 1800s there were Indian nobles in Peru who traced their ancetry back to the Inca emperors. I don't know if they still exist today.
 
I guess they would have tried to recreate the traditional setup.

As to who's the likely ruler, no idea.
 
Diego de Varga of Cordoba's descendants can prove their descent from Atahualpa; how good are the records in Lima? I can imagine this as sort of splitting the difference - you get a monarch from Spain whose Inca blood is 8 generations back, which ought to mollify the anti-native element, but his family still have all the records and manuscripts to prove their claim, which the Peruvians might not.

Just a thought. As said upthread, many people in Peru claimed to be descended from the Inca. The truth of these claims is often questionable.
