It gets a little complicated when trying to figure out the best structure for the sites in terms of customer accessibility, search engine considerations, and content separation...and a multitude of other issues all at the same time.
One of the proposed ideas was to use domain prefixes to solve the problem as follows:
TLD: example.com
Regional North America: na.example.com
Regional South America: sa.example.com
Regional Europe: eu.example.com
Does anyone have concerns with this model or would recommend an alternative?

This builds the root domain link profile stronger than if you used subdomains because each subdomain is it's own "domain".
And you can specify geo-targetting to folders inside webmaster tools so you shouldn't have much issues with SEO.
The regional perspective avoids having to build sites for every county.
