From the Paper:

"Brazil is an enormous country, covering 3.3 million square miles, with approximately 183 million people living within its sprawling boundaries, according to the BBC News (http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk). In fact Brazil is the largest and most influential nation in South America, and it takes up nearly half of the entire continent. It is the eighth largest economy in the world, and is a major producer of soybeans, sugarcane, coffee, rice, wheat, cotton, oranges, cocoa, and Brazil supplies the world with beef from its large cattle ranches in the south and western regions of the country. The Brazilian coastline is 4,500 miles long, and much of this region consists of very fertile land suitable for farming."
