What If Latin America Was a Single Country?

Подробнее о видео

What if I told you Latin America could have hosted one of the world’s greatest superpowers? Capable of changing the course of history in ways that only players like the U.S., China or Russia can today. And to do that, you'd only need one thing. Uniting all of its countries into a single state.

How would this supernation turn into an economic powerhouse? Would it be a democracy or a dictatorship? And why wouldn't other governments dare mess with it?
