Many tourists know that Brazil is one of the largest countries on the planet – in fact it is the fifth largest. Many may not know that the administration of the country is done through five distinct regions, which are divided further into states which contain the cities, towns and villages

The country of Brazil is divided into five regions where administration is done through states, then cities, towns and villages. These regions are distinguished in several ways; some through state borders, some through culture or geography and some through their economic development. The area known as the Southern region stands out from the others for several reasons.

The country of Brazil is the fifth largest on the Earth – which not many people are aware of. The country is divided up into several regions for administrative purposes, each containing states and cities within them. While some are identified by their state’s borders, other regions rely on natural, cultural or even economic borders to help distinguish them. The Northern region is defined mostly by its unique geography and native Indian peoples. Though the rest of Brazil is home to some of the most cosmopolitan and world renown cities in the world, its Northern region is best known as the home to the Amazon forest.

Because the country of Brazil is the fifth largest on the planet, its government defines it by regions. There are five distinct regions in Brazil, some marked simply by the borderlines of the various states within the region, and some distinguished by cultural, geographic or economic lines. The area known as the Northeast of Brazil is defined by nine states, each remarkably different from the other.
