Geography and climate
Politics and economics
By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil underwent more than half a century of populist and military government until 1985, when the military regime ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and the development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labour pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Highly unequal income distribution and crime remain pressing problems.
People and society
Brazil has the largest population of Italians outside Italy, the largest population of Japanese outside Japan, as well as the second largest population of Germans outside of Germany (after only the United States). A characteristic of Brazil is the race mixing. Most Brazilians have some degree of European, African, and Amerindian ancestry.
Religion and the church
The number of Protestants is rising. Until 1970, the majority of Brazilian Protestants were members of "traditional churches", mostly Lutherans, Presbyterians and Baptists. Since then, numbers of Pentecostal and Neopentecostal members have increased significantly. Traditional African beliefs, brought by slaves, have blended with Catholicism to create Afro-Brazilian religions such as Macumba, Candomblé, and Umbanda. Amerindians practice a wide variety of indigenous religions that vary from group to group.
