Abstract

Brazil is the world’s fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world. The Brazilian economy is the world’s eighth largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (GDP) and the ninth largest by purchasing power parity. The population of Brazil is approximately 190 million and 83.75 % of the population defined as urban. The population is heavily concentrated in the Southeastern (79.8 million inhabitants) and Northeastern (53.5 million inhabitants) regions [1].
