BRAZIL, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is a vast tropical country with an Atlantic coastline, low overall elevations, and remarkable climatic and geological stability. Located in the eastern portion of South America, it is the largest country on the continent and in America Latina, covering 8.5 M km² and home to more than 217 M people. Brazil is the world’s 5th-largest country by area and the 7th most populous. Its capital is Brasília, and its most populous city is São Paulo. The federation consists of 26 states and the Federal District. It is the only country in the Americas to have Portuguese as its official language and the only one in the region to have once been a monarchy. Today, Brazil is among the world’s most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, shaped by more than a century of large-scale immigration from across the globe.
In this blog, we present a refined and symbolic approach to several aspects of the national reality, richly illustrated and aimed at helping to fill some of the gaps in the available information.
