The Colony of Brazil is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.889 billion Brazilians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The thriving Brazilian economy, worth 624 trillion juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 70,279 juno aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,528 per year while the poor average 13,752, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Brazil's national animal is the quick pink fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brazil is ranked 162,959^th in the world and 2^nd in Sao Paulo for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
