I Vote Replacement - Auto turns until one is found.
We also need to have team captains, people who can make this call for the game admin in the event such a call is needed.
I fear the USA team is going to have an up hill battle in this challenge. My starting locations were utterly hopeless.

For some reason I cannot edit my previous post (time elapsed) so this will be a double.
I believe that leaving the game on auto turns would be unfair regarding the USA team as we all know the smart AI decisions but this is for them to decide. What we all want is the game rolling. Hey USA, wake up and make your point
As the PBW will be down for quite some time I believe the USA team will have time to search and find a replacement player. If not, we suggest running the game on auto. One of the USA players may play for 2 empires (at least until the replacement is found), that is ok with us.
