If you are thinking about South America, then you will need to deal with
Amazonia in some way. You might be tempted to just ignore the idea of
Amazonia for your campaign, but I think it would be cooler if your
Horror/Toxic's strategy was to take over Amazonia from within, in such a way
that no one realizes that it happened. For example, if a Horror could
possess the leaders of Amazonia, or something similar. (One of Amazonia's
leaders is probably a dragon though, so this might be tough).

On the other hand, if you wanted to base the cult you were thinking about in
Argentina or somewhere like that, it would probably be Amazonia that would
be most likely to oppose it. This opens some interesting political
possibilities. For example, the Horror would like try to run black ops to
destabilize Amazonia. Amazonia, in turn, would probably like to get military
against the cult (Amazonia has a history of being very unafraid to use
military force). The cult would have two options in this case, and would
probably pursue both. First, if the cult was subtle enough, it might be able
to make it look like Amazonia attacked for no reason, and could get the UN
(or whatever) on its side. It would also probably ally with Aztlan, as
troops used to attack the cult would no longer be on the border of Aztlan,
giving Aztlan a military opportunity.
