Prerequisites for colonial nation

[Izulin]

What are exact prerequisites for creation of colonial nation?

5 provinces, but with:
a) cores?
b) your religion?
c) your culture?

I conquered 5 provinces out of Maya as a Portugal, but no Portugese Mexico for me.

What version are you playing?

In 1.4 (patch after CoP came out), five provinces should form a colonial nation as long as they are all in the same colonial region (i.e. Mexico or Colombia). In the beta versions which are currently running, I believe that you would need to have cores in the territories, but I'm not playing these versions yet. I don't think religion and culture matter at all.
