This is related to the Lief Ericson trying to colonize Newfoundland. It failed. Not in this rp. So the Nordic countries started colonizing America a lot before the other countries did. This set up a whole new power dynamic..... And they didn't massacre the indians. They gave them tech and basically made them vassals.
So the nordic countries have some colonies in Canada and the East Coast of America, though they have explored the whole continent. They gave iron age tech to the natives (thats everyones tech level). So there are the Mayan/Aztec countries, the Incan Empire.... and the Arawak now control a large amount of brazil. Some of the European countries own slight colonies in the Americas (mostly the Caribbean). The Seafaring asians found out about this wonderful place, and have set up some colonies in the west coast.
You can play as European nations in 1200 AD, some seafaring asian, or the newly upgraded native americans (though you have some allegiance to the nation that boosted you). The world isn't different (much), just around america, and the nordic countries being slightly stronger, and gaining strength.
You can choose your own stats, just don't go overboard.
