The South American Union and all its colonies are rather more rough and tumble than most other nations. For one thing, it should be no surprise that they are rabidly anti-Communist given their history. The Communists killed far too many South Americans for them to forget. They don’t even trust the milder Socialists that have taken over some parts of North America, and South America will join no alliance that accepts them. Wherever they go, every colony maintains honor guard helicopters maintained specifically to deal with Communists, and those helicopters fly in every national independence celebration. They even shoot showers of confetti, to the cheering amusement of children everywhere. Converting bad Communists into good Communists is fun for the whole family.
