abstract
| - Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brasil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). The country borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and occupies almost 50 percent of the South American continent. Its Amazon River basin includes an enormous tropical forest home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and numerous protected habitats. This unique environment makes Brasil one of many megadiverse countries. Brasil was originally inhabited by numerous tribal nations and peoples prior to John Redd's landing in 1531, claiming the area for England and later the United Kingdom. Brasil remained a British colony until 1817, when colonial agitation and inspiration from the American Revolutionary War came to a boiling point, sparking the Brasilian Independence War. Independence was achieved in 1824 with the creation of the United Kingdom of Brasil, a unitary state governed under an absolute (later constitutional) monarchy. The country eventually became a republic in 1919 following a military coup d'etat, and a federal republic in 1956 after 37 years of military occupation. Brasil's economy is the world's third-largest by nominal GDP and seventh-largest GDP (PPP) as of 2015. Brasil is also a founding member of the United Nations, the G-20, Unasul, and the Organization of American States. Brasil is a regional power in South America and an emerging world power in international affairs, and is one of the world's major breadbaskets in terms of yearly exports.
