Brazil is way bigger than people realize
Nobody really talks about it, but Brazil is a giant. A few things most people have no idea about:
- Over 200 million people. One of the seven most populous countries on earth.
- Embraer is the third biggest planemaker in the world, behind only Boeing and Airbus. Brazil literally builds airliners.
- It is the world's number one exporter of pulp (what paper is made of), coffee, soybeans, sugar, beef, and orange juice.
- Fifth largest country on the planet by land area.
- Around the ninth largest economy in the world.
- Most of its electricity comes from renewables, mostly hydro. A cleaner grid than the US.
