    Understanding Brazil

    Federal Republic of Brazil, occupies about half of the land area of South America. Brazil is divided into 26 states and a Federal District, grouped into five regions for administrative and political purposes: the North, the Northeast, the Central West, the Southeast and the South. The population estimated at 206 million (2014), the world’s fifth-largest country and the largest economy in Latin America.

    It is a federal republic with a democratic government composed of an executive branch (headed by a president), a bicameral legislative branch (made up of a House of Representatives and a Federal senate) and a Judicial branch. The country has been politically stable since its current constitution was adopted in 1988, even though the multiplicity of political parties – there are more than 20 – means that coalition governments are normal.

    Brazil is a member of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), which was formed in 1991 and includes Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. The Mercosur bloc represents a combined market of well over 270 million consumers and a collective GDP of $2.9 trillion. It provides for a common external import tax rate for imports from non-member countries – imports from members are generally tax exempt – and allows the free movement of goods and people among member countries.

    Brazil is also a member of the World Trade Organization and has trade agreements with various other countries.
