Tardis

South American State, (WC: Tardisode 5 [+]Gareth Roberts, Tardisodes series 2 (2006).) also known as New South America, was a country that existed on Earth in the parallel universe called "Pete's World". The continent of South America was originally made up of independent nations, which by the 21st century had unified into a single state called New South America. (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Steve Tribe, BBC Books (2008). Chapter 3, "Everything Changes"; Page 88.)

In 2004, the South American State reported that 265,000 people had gone missing. Pete Tyler, using an alias known as Gemini, linked these disappearances to Cybus Industries and sent this information to the Preachers on an encrypted broadcast. (WC: Tardisode 5 [+]Gareth Roberts, Tardisodes series 2 (2006).)

While escaping from the Cybermen, Mrs. Moore revealed that Gemini had been sending the Preachers information on John Lumic's South American operations. Pete Tyler admitted that he was Gemini, and mistakenly thought he was broadcasting to the security services. (TV: The Age of Steel [+]Tom MacRae, adapted from Spare Parts (Marc Platt), Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)

Lumic stated he had Cyber-factories on all seven continents. (TV: The Age of Steel [+]Tom MacRae, adapted from Spare Parts (Marc Platt), Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) Following his death, a global war broke out between humans and Cybermen which included South America. (GAME: Cyber Assault [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)
