Brazil is one of the wealthiest nations of South America. Its vast natural
resources in combination with a well developed manufacturing industry secures
it's place as a economic superpower.
To further enhance the national finances the worlds biotech-corporations all
pay large sums to the Brazilian govenment to be allowed access to the Amazon
rainforests and it's enormous genetic diversity. On a more specific note,
brazilian fashion-designers are amongst the foremost in the world and it is
always right to be seen in a swimsuit by Margihela of Brazilia or a business
suit by Castaneda of Rio.
Still, all is not hunky-dory. The slums surrounding all major conurbations
persist in existing, despite various attempts of relocation, relief-funds,
eviction and the ever present Death Squads to get rid of them.
The countryside is either in the hands of Agri-Corps or individual landowners
wich is still causing unrest among the peasantry, but all the above is not
nearly as large a problem as it was back in ancient days (say about around 1970
or so). Today, Brazil is a pretty good place to visit or even live in.
