Brazil is sometimes called the “China of South America.”
The comparison is apt; although Brazil lags behind its
neighbors in technology and standard of living, it boasts
the largest economy on the continent. Indeed, Brazil has
the fifth-largest national economy on Earth, and seems
likely to play an increasingly important role in world
affairs with time.

Early in the past century, Brazil was often snarled in
controversy over environmental issues. The vast potential
resources of the Amazon basin were regarded as key to
Brazilian prosperity, but at the same time any development
of the region threatened some of the most valuable rainforest
ecosystems on the planet. The tension between these
facts led to considerable internal strife, as well as a series
of disputes with the world community. During the 2030s,
Brazil developed a significant local biotech industry,
encouraging policy-makers to impose effective protections
on the Amazon basin. This proved not so difficult, once
preserving the rainforest was regarded as more profitable
than destructive development. Deforestation was halted by
2045, and has somewhat reversed since then as ecologists
slowly learn to reconstruct the natural ecosystem.

Brazil has a variety of [[Fourth Wave|Fourth]] and [[Fifth Wave]] industries,
notably bioroid manufacture, genetic engineering,
pharmaceuticals, and heavy robotics. Indentured
[[bioroids]] and engineered [[parahumans]] are relatively
common. The country also has a small but very active
space program, dating to the early 2010s when Brazilian
investors helped build the first launch facilities in Ecuador.
