The Seventh Federative Republic of Brazil is a hybrid regime located in South America. It is the world's fifth-largest country by area, and seventh-largest by population. Its capital is Brasília, located in the Distrito Federal, and its most populous city is São Paulo. It is extremely rich in natural and human resources, thanks to its megadiversity and a history of mass centripetal immigration. This has consequently allowed it to become one of the world's major breadbaskets and largest economies.

Brazil is an emerging middle power. It is a member of the Global Security Association (GSA), and holds chairmanship over the United Assembly of Nations (UAN).

Etymology

The word 'Brazil' is likely sourced from brazilwood, known in Portuguese as Paubrasilia. Its wood can be powdered into a vibrant red dye, which contributed to its overharvesting by European traders. The tree is now all but extirpated, and replanting efforts have yielded little fruit. Brazil is consequently the only country in the world to be named after a dye.

Government and politics

Brazil is a presidential federation, currently governed by a semi-democratic military junta known as the Brazilian Restoration and Salvation Council (BRSC). The BRSC is headed by a Commander-in-Chief, who leads the Armed Forces, and a President, who oversees the day-to-day administration of the country. Civilian control of the military is nonexistent.

Economy

The economy of Brazil is historically one of the largest and most significant in the Southern Hemisphere, with a nominal GDP of $2,560,015,778,738 USD, and GDP per capita of $11,427.75. It is classed as a developing country with a mixed economy, though the privatisation campaign undertaken by President Franco dos Santos is projected to further reduce the state's footprint in the market.

Brazil was one of the fastest-growing economies in the world from 2000 to 2012, with averaging at 5% GDP growth per annum. This was interrupted by a decade of economic recession and stagnation that lasted until the Brazilian Restoration and Salvation Council's seizure of power. Economic prospects have since recovered following reforms and Brazil's entry into the GSA economic area, though it is unclear whether this upward trajectory will be sustained far into the future.
