I'd do the same with Peru, too -- put it under a South America forum and people will find it. If it only gets a dozen posts a year, so what? It's still organized and people will find the threads when they need them.
I tend to agree with Rich here. When splitting a forum, some common-interest content might be lost. I see no significant common-interest content here. If it's about Peru, it's not about other countries in South America. And vice versa. Therefore I don't see a disadvantage to the split.
Readers, please correct me if you think I'm wrong. The deadline to vote is approaching...
