Brazil - Nation States of Earth #4

Taking up half the continent of South America, Brazil is host to vast array of landscapes and biomes - from the steamy Amazon Rainforests, to the savannah of the Planalto Central, and the lush Atlantic Forests.. One of the largest countries in the world in terms of land area and population, it is a unique blend of cultures from Europe, Africa and the native land itself. Its history is one of colonial exploitation, slavery and today corruption and social inequality hold back what would otherwise already be a major global power.

A global giant in agriculture, it has become self-sufficient in terms of energy needs, and its manufacturing size is now only second to the USA in the Americas. Rio de Janeiro is one of the most iconic and famous of all world cities, while giant Sao Paulo beats even New York in size to be the largest city in the Americas.

This is the country that brought Samba, Carnaval and Bossa Nova to the world. The country with the greatest of all national football teams. This is Brazil.
