In Portuguese: Brasil
- Brazil is one of the 20 Latin American nations. Officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil), it is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population, and the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world.
- Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and occupies 47.3 percent of the continent of South America. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 mega-diverse countries, and the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
