__ Regions of Brazil __
The diverse culture of Brazil is spread out between 26 different states. Along with these different states is a federal state, which contains the country's capital city, Brasilia. Each state has their own governing body which includes independent courts of law; however, no need to worry about any outlandish laws, as criminal and civil laws are both voted on and passed federally and remain uniform to the entire country. The different states of Brazil are formed geographically and not through political means. The states are separated into 5 different regions represented in the diagram below.



With a population of 192 272 890 people as well as an area of 8 514 877 km squared, Brazil is both the 5th largest country in the world in terms of population and size of land. Much of this large area of land is environment areas and the Amazon Rainforest which means that the majority of Brazil's population is centralized in city areas. When it comes to big cities, Brazil has plenty. Below is a table of the 10 largest cities of Brazil as well as their populations and the region they are located in.
