Brazil,
officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese:
Brasil or República Federativa do Brasil), is the largest
and most populous country in South America, and fifth largest in
the world in both area and population. Spanning a vast area between
central South America and the Atlantic Ocean, it is the easternmost
country of the Americas and it borders Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay,
Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French
department of French Guiana. In fact, it borders every South American
nation except for Ecuador and Chile. The country's name is generally
believed to be derived from pau-brasil (brazilwood), a tree highly
valued by early colonists, though some credit the name to a mythical
land mentioned in Europe during Middle Ages. Brazil is home to both
extensive agricultural lands and rain forests. Exploring vast natural
resources and a large labor pool, it is South America's leading
economic power and a regional leader. Because it was a colony of
Portugal, Portuguese is Brazil's official language. Brazil has the
world's second largest Christian population (151 million, behind
that of the United States), and also is the world's largest Roman
Catholic-majority nation in terms of both number of adherents and
land mass - a strong cultural legacy left behind by the Roman Catholic
Portuguese colonists.
