Latin America is more fractured than it ever was economically. Since the 1970s there has been several economic blocks and alliances, most notibally Mercasur and the Andean Community. There have been steps to unite these groups but there needs to be more focus on this idea. To accomplish this long-sought after goal the USAN will be reorganized, grown, and renamed to the Union of Latin American Nations.

There are currently 6 IGOs in Latin America and the ULAN and subsequent unions will incorporate parts of them.

Due to political restraints, not all of the ULAN's subsidiary unions will be formed immediately (except M-ULAN.) Currently, ULAN will stay the way that USAN worked but it will expand to incorporate more Latin American nations.

The ULAN will mostly stay as it was previously, but several committees will be added to it.
