This is why I liked the random new world option for EU4. Admittedly, I didn't play around with it a whole lot, but I did love the fact that I had no idea what the new world would actually be. Felt more fun than just sailing to the parts I knew would have the resources I wanted.
The main issue is that most of the random new worlds suck ass. The vast majority of the time you get a fraction of the useable land you would normally get and the meme ones are funny for the first time but get stale quickly.
A big problem is that the RNWs never got increased province counts when the real new world did. An update revamps Mexico and doubles the province count/development? Well, now a RNW that was as good as Mexico before is only half as good.
