Brazil, officially known as the Federative Republic of Brazil, stands as a sovereign state located in South America. Covering an expansive area of 8,515,767 km², equivalent to 47.3% of South American territory, Brazil holds the distinction of being the world’s fifth-largest country by land area and the seventh-largest by population, boasting over 218 million inhabitants. As the largest nation in both South America and Latin America, Brazil is unique as the sole Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest Lusophone country globally.

Brasilia serves as the capital of Brazil, and interestingly, another version of the city’s name, “Brazil,” aligns with the Russian pronunciation of the country’s name.

Brazil spent its early years as a colony under Portuguese rule, from the arrival of Pedro Alvares Cabral on April 22, 1500, until it declared independence as the Brazilian Empire on September 7, 1822. The nation transitioned to a republic on November 15, 1889. The current constitutional framework designates Brazil as a federal republic, composed of the Federal District, 26 states, and 5,564 municipalities.
