The Central and South American regions are the combined region of Central America super-region and South America super-region. Besides the unique native mechanics here (which are also present in North America super-region) these parts also contain unique religious mechanics for Inti, Mayan and Nahuatl. Nations with these religions need to fully reform their religion before being able to embrace institutions at which point they will be able to keep all the benefits gained from the reforms in addition to getting a technology boost.
The area (like its North American counterpart) sports a large number of uncolonized provinces. While there are several OPM migratory tribes along the eastern coast most of the nations here are located in two main clusters in the northwest and the west, making it a bit harder for outside forces to reach and wage war against them (thus allowing them to survive longer into the game). Due to the big technology gap between the native nations here and outside forces the majority of them get conquered early on in the game, unless a single power managed to unify enough of the minor nations under one banner before trying to oppose the invading forces. The provinces in this area belong to colonial regions which if colonized by an outside nation (not from the continent) will form a colonial nation once enough of them have been settled in a single colonial region. The new nation will be a subject of its mother nation until it will declare and win an independence war.
The break-down of the Central and South American regions is as follows:
Government types
Tribal governments are the dominant government form in these parts.
Native Council scattered in the northern, eastern and southern parts.
Despotic Monarchy in the northwestern and western parts (along with a single Theocracy).
Religions
Mayan and Nahuatl in the northwestern part.
Inti in the western part.
Animist scattered in the rest of the area.
Technology groups
Mesoamerican in the northern part.
Andean in the western part.
South American in the rest of the area.
Culture groups
Central American, Otomanguean and Mayan in the northwestern part.

Some of these nations don't exist at the 1444 campaign start. They can appear if another nation chooses to form them.
These nations don't exist and also lack cores at the 1444 campaign start. They can still appear if Separatist rebels manage to take control of their cultural provinces.
Notes: These articles refer to the state of the world at the start of the grand-campaign (1444-11-11); meaning, if a nation is picked in other time points it may have different attributes. Table listings include: [1] 1444 starting nations, [2] 1444 releasable nations. Other tags, [3] later start/pure formables/revolters ("wild card" stats), are mentioned at the top. Worth noting, [4] a nation is assigned a home region based on its capital's location, [5] location names use the default localisation for consistency reasons (for searching in-game enter the provided province numbers). For a list of all available tags check the Countries article.
