Brazil

The Fourth Brazilian Republic is the largest country in South America having a border with every South American nation except Chile and Ecuador.

History
The country is now currently on its Fourth Republic after the fall of Estado Novo which resulted in the deposing of Dutra. Getúlio Vargas who led Brazil for 15 years before his deposition in 1945, became President again after a secret ballot led him to being elected in 1950 and currently leads Brazil.

Politics
After the deposing of Dutra, Getúlio Vargas became president after a secret ballot. He is also the current leader of the Brazilian Labor Party also known as the Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro. Corruption is widespread throughout Brazil. With it being present on the parliamentary floors it has become a challenge to maintain democracy as every vote can be bought for the right price.

Military
Unlike many militaries, the Armed Forces of Brazil have adopted an intervention policy dating back to the last days of the Empire of Brazil. The doctrine is focused on crises and any situations that could destabilize Brazil and oppose the status quo of the military. This doctrine has been used many times as Brazil has experience 3 military coups and juntas in the last 60 years.

Economy
The Brazilian economy saw serious stagnation under Dutra's regime because of growing inflation due to overvalued exchange rates and repressed demands. Presently, Brazil is facing a economic crisis with its economy being described as a 'sinking boat'. Vargas has proposed ideas of a multiple exchange-rate system and it floats across the Brazilian parliament as it could be a solution to fix the economic crisis in the country.
