At that time, cadre Teams of the Atlantis Project would be activated by their own recall and retrieval systems and begin moving out and carrying the Mission (rebuild and succor) to the rest of the world."
"But all of this was based on the notion that the Morrow Project would have been operational in North America for about one hundred years."

Matt,
Sure, there's no canon reference to anything other than the USA for the Morrow Project, and without anything specific one way or another it's open to interpretation. Logic dictates that a place like the UK would be an invaluable stepping-stone into Europe and in a position to support the AP, but it cannot do this if it's 100 years after the war.
The Caribbean would be completely worthless in almost every way and the South (and Central) American nations don't add anything to the Project that isn't already in North America and aside from the distances involved, civil order is somewhat tenuous there in many areas even now, before WWIII.
Further, as you can appreciate, the emotional and economic ties between the USA and other prospective MP countries like Canada, the UK and Australia/NZ can't be discounted. There does not seem to be any creditable reason to let these most crucial allies lay in ruins for a century or more.
