Capital: Brasilia
Brazil (ISO-Code: BR) is located in South America and, with an area of about 8.5 million square kilometers, is the fifth largest country in the world. It borders nearly all South American countries except Chile and Ecuador and has an approximately 7,500 km long Atlantic coastline. Politically, Brazil is a federal presidential republic with 26 states and a federal district. The climate varies significantly: tropical in the north, savanna-like in the central highlands, and subtropical in the south. Economically, Brazil is a globally significant producer of agricultural products, iron ore, oil, and industrial goods, while the service sector is growing rapidly. The country is reliant on imports for high-tech goods, machinery, and energy products. As a regional logistics and trading hub, Brazil offers well-developed ports, airports, and a road network for the transit of goods within South America. The national currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL), which supports international trade and payment transactions. Brazil plays a central role in foreign trade, particularly with China, the USA, and the EU, and is considered a key player in global supply chains.
