This is an event suggestion. The Monroe Doctrine was announced in 1823. 13 years before Vicky starts. I have not seen any evidence of its existence in the game...so i suggest, since it was such a major doctrine, that the following be implemented.
The USA starts with a defense alliance with all North and South American countries. It also has immediate gaurantees for all of these countries. When the UCA falls apart then and event should trigger with each new country that extends both the defensive alliance and the gaurantee to the new country.
Also there should be a relationship hit any time a colony transfers ownership in the western hemisphere. The country that receives the colony transfer should suffer like a hit for -50 relations. This would be for each colony or provinence. The US was commited to maintaining stability in the west and to keeping the European conflicts from her back yard. This was and is a severly important doctrine and diplomatic tool that was used in RL. It was one of the reason that Cuba was not taken over as an extension of the US after the Spanish/American war at the turn of the century.
I know this will be difficult and i am not a modder so i have no idea how to do this or i would already have posted a solution. Willing to learn but no one to teach me
