[FM 20] South of Brazil as a *NEW NATION*

if you find any errors whilst using this database please just report it to me and I will try to fix it.

In the future I intend to make a league for the south of Brazil, but I am not sure about the correct structure to be used, so for now I will only publish the download for just the nation of south of Brazil

I used reserve teams to fill the leagues and test it .
I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to remove the big teams from the Brazilian championship, like Grêmio or Internacional.

My idea for structuring the South-Brazilian leagues is to populate them with teams from the lower leagues (below Serie D) and reserves from larger teams like Grêmio and Internacional.

I tried to create a league like this, but I kept getting errors when I removed too many teams from the Brazilian lower divisions.

 

Hey man, have you heard about “O Sul é Meu País” (The South is My Country)? It is a small separatist movement that calls for the independence of the southern region of Brazil. Here are the movement flag:
 

In the past there a pre-season regional league (Copa Sul, later Copa Sul-Minas), with around 12-16 teams. In addition, if you add the first division of each state championship, you will have at least 36 fully-professional teams. If you consider the lower divisions of each three states, there will be more 60+ semi-professional or short season professional teams.

For non-brazilians, here are a little trivia about the european inspired cities in southern Brazil:

 

• Some brazilian clubs has european roots (Portuguese: Vasco da Gama, Portuguesa); (Italian: Palmeiras, Cruzeiro); (German: Grêmio FBPA, Coritiba)
• Thiago Cionek, from the Poland National Team, born in Curitiba.
• GK Alisson Becker has german descent
• Notable brazilian people from german descent: Dunga, Gisele Bündchen, Gustavo Küerten
• Notable braziian people from italian descent: Rodrigo Santoro, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Felipe Massa, Alessandra Ambrósio
   

it is amazing that these places exist saw a programme a few years ago on this was brilliant in the middle of nowhere in South America-

Yes it really amazed me when I first heard about it too. 

This may or may not be the documentary you are referring to but this is a nice little documentary about a small town in the South of Brazil called Walachai where the people speak mostly German and live a humble village farming life.

I never knew that! That is really interesting, I will have to read about it further to learn more about this separatist movement. 

I will also look to include their flag into my designs for the country because before you mentioned it I didn't know it existed. For my other designs I just used the old German flag combined with the colonial emblem of Brazil which was used on previous flags.

>if you add the first division of each state championship, you will have at least 36 fully-professional teams. If you consider the lower divisions of each three states, there will be more 60+ semi-professional or short season professional teams.

Also that seems like a great idea. Thank you!

I am Brazilian.
There is a movement to separate the south of the country.
The names suggested by the movement are: Brasil do Sul, Brasul, Estados Unidos do Sul, Confederação Sulista, Pampas do Sul, República dos Pampas, Araucânia, Iguassu.

Which name do you think fits them best for the country?

I think the name Brasil do sul is cooler. However, I think the name they would choose would be Araucânia or Iguassu

Another important information to give you some idea:

The “O Sul é meu País movement” was founded in Curitiba, Paraná, but currently the movement's headquarters are in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. Once again, there are plenty of opportunities to choose the capital of the new country. - and there are those who defend the choice of a city in Santa Catarina, to stay in the middle of the road.

I believe that one of the 3 cities would be the capital

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to set your capital city in the game. It used to be a feature but they don't give you the option to do it in the editor any more.

I will just have to set the national Stadium as the makeshift capital city.

I got a copy of FM 21 today so I'm going to start working on releasing the nation but updated for FM 21.

I like that one too. Also the Sul é meu pais movement has some cool music.  😀

You need to try the gaucho barbecue (roast beef) is wonderful!

My favorite is  Costela na vala (rib in the ditch)

*I'm not sure if I translated the name of the right food
 

Parece maravilhoso! Vou visitar o Brasil quando houver restrição menos no meu país para viagens. Espero conseguir alguma Costela na vala quando estiver lá!

What country do you belong to?

I am from Ireland.

I was supposed to go to Belfast last year.
but the pandemic ended my plans

You would have enjoyed it! Many Brazilians visit Ireland and love it a lot.

You are very good with design!

Obrigado!

are they just teams from Rio Grande do Sul?

Its the teams from Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.

In my FM21 version I made it so Italian and German regens appear in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and in Parana they also get Polish and Ukrainian regens as well as Italian and Germans.

Here's a map of the 3 states.
