Brazil

Brazil is the largest and arguably most powerful nation in South America. They are mainly Roman Catholic and most political parties in the nation are left leaning. The nation is mainly composed of White and Pardos(mix of White and Black). It also has a sizable Black community. In total it has the 5th most people of any nation in the world.

Government
Brazil's government is mostly run by Leftist parties. The nation has very little right leaning people as they got very tired of dictator after dictator(they where ALL right wing of course). It is in the form of a Presidential Republic, a lot like the USA. Argentina often claims that they are more powerful then Brazil while still falling below Brazil in nearly every category. The Argentinian-Brazilian relationship may simply be one huge parody of right wing thinkers.

Problems
Like a lot of nations, Brazil has major problems. Not like super huge ass problems like Iraq but still some pretty bad stuff here. The Brazilian Rain Forest is being cut in acres every day. It holds the worlds largest amount of biodiversity. It is possible that cures for diseases are in the rain forests however Conservative Brazilians have fled to the forest are are trying to destroy everything and then blame it on the leftist government of Brazil.

Despite corruption problems and environmental problems Brazil still is seen by most as the most powerful Latin American state. It is often seen as an emerging major power. It is also a leader in breaking off the need for the oil from desert land, which is conjured by magic people in white robes.
