Brazil

Brazil is one of the world's most diverse nations, blending Indigenous, European, African, and Asian heritage, the legacy of colonization, slavery, and immigration. Portuguese is the official language — Brazil is the world's largest Portuguese-speaking country.

Historically Roman Catholic (the world's largest such population), Brazil has seen rapid growth of evangelical Protestantism, alongside Afro-Brazilian and other faiths.

Society

Brazil has a large, young population and a vibrant culture famed for music, football, and Carnival, though it remains one of the world's most unequal societies, with stark gaps between rich and poor.
