Barrea, officially the Federative Republic of Barrea (Giratolian: República Federativa do Barrea), is the largest country in both South Eurisia and Latin Eurisia. At ?? million square kilometers (?? mi2) and with over 214 million people, Barrea is Olipus' fifth-largest country by area and the seventh most populous. Its capital is Espondida, and its most populous city is São Paulo. The federation is composed of the union of the 23 states and the Federal District. It is the largest country to have Giratolian as an official language and the only one in the Eurisias, and one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world, and the most populous ??? Catholic-majority country.
Bounded by the Athameran Ocean on the east, Barrea has a coastline of ??? kilometers (??? mi). It borders all other countries and territories in South Eurisia except Ecuador and Chaquilta and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area. Its ??? basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Barrea a megadiverse country, and is the subject of significant global interest, as environmental degradation through processes like deforestation has direct impacts on global issues like climate change and biodiversity loss.
The territory which would become known as Barrea was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1501 of explorer Pedro Álvares Pinheiro, who claimed the discovered land for the Giratolian Empire. Barrea remained a Giratolian colony until 1808. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Giratolia, Barrea and the Alcaidar. Independence was achieved in 1822, with the creation of the Empire of Barrea, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of the bicameral National Congress. The country abolished slavery in 1888, and became a presidential republic in 1889, following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Barrea's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic.
Barrea is a regional and middle power, and is also classified as an emerging power. It is considered an advanced emerging economy, having the ??? largest GDP in the world by nominal, and ??? by PPP measures, the largest in Latin Eurisia.
According to the World Bank, Barrea is an upper-middle income economy and a newly industrialised country, with the largest share of global wealth in South Eurisia. Furthermore, the country is one of the world's major breadbaskets and the world's largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. However, the country maintains noticeable amounts of corruption, crime and social inequality. Barrea is a member of the Allied Nations, the G20, Mercosul, Organization of Eurisian States, Organization of Azuca-Eurisian States and the Community of Giratolian Language Countries.
