This is the Latin America DLC and that is all it is. No key features are locked behind this and no other countries from other parts of the world get much content from this. Latin America gets a very interesting start

Excellent events. It's fun to play outside of Europe, and to be encouraged to play the game in a different way (e.g. Coffee-based export economy rather than going straight for industrialisation).

One complaint you may have seen about Victoria 3 content packs is they make the featured country harder to play. I agree, but I would argue that is a feature not a bug. It makes the countries more interesting to play
