South American Union tech not appearing

[Ruffing]

So I have the Peruvian confederation, Central American Confederation and Gran Columbia, I have Great Nations researched and all of the big nation researches are available...except the South American Union. It's infuriating and I've been trying to figure out what the problem is for some time now. Not being able to unify the continent I sunk basically all of my time into is seriously a handicap. Please help.

Is Bolivia independent? I know Peruvian Confederation gets a claim on them. SAU might not pop up if its host country doesn't actually exist.

Mentally tell yourself, "fine I don't want you anymore SA, in fact I never want to see you pop up" The game will then get tricked and try to spite you by popping up the SA union tech. Reverse psychology strategy.

ROFL! +1 for the reverse psychology attempt! Well played! Well played!

I waited years for it to pop up, nothing. Also, I tried releasing Bolivia, still nothing. This feels like something that should get fixed, what's the point of having these smaller formable nations if making them prevents you from making the bigger ones? Assuming that's the problem. It's kinda crippling not being able to unify a place you've put so much work into despite having met all the requirements. The research option just didn't pop up after the great nations research was completed.

I don't suppose someone else decided to research it, and Bolivia already has the claims?

Yeah first see if the claims are there.
The other thing maybe if you are using a save game from the time period in which it was possible for nation techs to not unlock?
Not sure how far back that was, shouldnt be the case anymore, and if you have been locked out it should be possible to change with savegame editing, not that i have the details on that though.

I went through every factions research (which is annoying since it isn't in any particular order and can't be searched or sorted) and found nothing. No one else researched it, I even approached alot of factions to try and buy it off them just to make sure they didn't have it and it just didn't show in my intel, still nothing. As for the save, I started that game a week ago just about if that helps. It's not an old save.

All you'd have to do to check if it already has been researched is select Bolivia, look at its Regions tab, and see if it has claims on anything other than La Paz.
