Portuguese South America: An entire continent with two exile courts
- ALL of South America under Portuguese rule (not just Brazil)
- Portuguese king + French king both in Rio
- French king claims French North America, funds royalist agents
- Independence movements in every viceroyalty (Río de la Plata most likely)
- Slavery: last major slaveholding territory, abolition vs civil war
- Amazon development, industrialization attempts
Burgundy: The educated survivor
