Brazil officially the Federative Republic of Brazil is the largest country in both South America and Latin America.
At 8.5 million square kilometers and with over 211 million people, Brazil is the world’s fifth-largest country by area and the sixth most populous. Its capital is Brasília, and its most populous city is São Paulo.
The federation is composed of the union of the 26 states and the Federal District. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas;
It is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 kilometers.
It borders all other countries in South America except Ecuador and Chile and covers 47.3% of the continent’s land area.
Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats.
This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who claimed the area for the Portuguese Empire.
Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.
Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress.
The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d’état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Brazil’s current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic.
Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Brazil is considered an advanced emerging economy. It has the ninth largest GDP in the world by nominal, and eight by PPP measures.
It is one of the world’s major breadbaskets, being the largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years.
It is classified as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country, with the largest share of global wealth in Latin America. Brazil is a regional power and sometimes considered a great or a middle power in international affairs.
On account of its international recognition and influence, the country is subsequently classified as an emerging power and a potential superpower by several analysts. Brazil is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, BRICS, Union of South American Nations, Mercosul, Organization of American States, Organization of Ibero-American States and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.
Belœil: Elle échappe à une condamnation après avoir mis sur Facebook des photos de sa nièce nue.
grand mother
Un jeune homme est resté bouche bée devant son ordinateur. Sa sœur âgée de 15 ans s’exposait nue, dans des poses érotiques, sur son mur Facebook. Ces images destinées à exciter un adolescent boutonneux de l’autre côté de la Méditerranée étaient là, à la vue de tous ses contacts.

Elles y sont restées quarante minutes, le temps pour la police, alertée par le jeune homme, de découvrir que les images avaient été publiées par un tiers malveillant.
Le coupable a rapidement été identifié. Il s’agissait de la tante de la jeune fille qui avait eu accès à son compte Facebook puisque la jeune fille avait pour habitude de squatter son ordinateur quand elle accompagnait ses parents chez son oncle. Cette mauvaise addiction, qui frappe les jeunes de 7 à 77 ans, n’a pas plu à la tante qui ne portait pas sa nièce dans son cœur.
juge
En analysant le profil de sa nièce, la prévenue avait découvert les photos érotiques envoyées par message privé. Elle avait expliqué au tribunal qu’elle voulait montrer à sa belle-sœur de quoi était capable sa fille car elle n’avait pas l’air de la croire quand elle prétendait qu’il fallait la recadrer.
Mais au lieu de lui en parler en privé, elle n’a rien trouvé de mieux que de l’exposer publiquement, ce qui constitue une infraction pénale. Une grosse bêtise qui l’a conduit devant le tribunal correctionnel. « C’est clair que c’est une grosse bêtise. Quand on veut jouer à la mère la vertu, on n’enfreint pas soi-même la loi », avait affirmé l’avocat de la défense, M e Baudoux. Encore fallait-il que la femme se rende compte que sa maladresse était une infraction.
Jeudi, le tribunal a estimé qu’elle était coupable de l’infraction mais a estimé qu’il ne fallait pas la condamner à un an de prison avec sursis comme l’avait requis le procureur du roi. Une simple suspension du prononcé, qui serait de nature à lui faire comprendre de ne plus recommencer, a été prononcée.
