BRAZIL

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth largest in the world by both area and population, occupying roughly half of the continent’s total landmass. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas, a legacy of colonial settlement that began in the early 16th century, and contains the largest portion of the Amazon rainforest, which covers approximately 60 percent of its territory.
