Brazil

Government: The Frente Nacionalista Cívica (FNC) had gained popularity through promising Ordem e Progresso amongst the widespread havoc that drenched the Republic leading up to, and following the impeachment of Dilma. Frese Lagos takes the position of president after Brazil's former president, Michel Temer felt the need to resign after seeing the power of Brazil's central government dwindle. Brazil is now technically under a dictatorship, however benevolent the ruling mob may be. Once again, the constitution is being remade, this time to support the rule of the FNC.

Economy: The economy stands at roughly $1.625 trillion USD. This would be modest, but given how they now have a population of about 212 million people, this leaves their GDP per capita at an unimpressive $7,665 USD. The FNC takes notice of this and is rather ashamed, but a rush for employment is raised as an agency for infrastructure development is founded, along with a conscription program. For the time being, the highest tax rates are raised to 37% of income. This is met with some backlash, but everyone is assured that this is being done for Ordem e Progresso. For the longest time, Brazil had a pretty great lumber industry, at the cost of their lush rainforests. An effort is made to decrease the popularity of this industry, and instead seek mining in the areas that have already been clear-cut, for a higher profit, and more important resources. Brazil needs metal for what they are planning.

Military: They already boast a sizeable active army, placing 14th on the Global Firepower Index. Having 334k active personell and 1,652k reserves in their army along with 469 tanks and 1,707 armoured fighting vehicles, currently the Meatwall Tactic would work out should conflict arise with a single one of their neighbors. However, Brazil would much rather have the capabilities of being able to fend off an attack should every single neighbor attempt to wrestle them down. The IMBEL IA2 assault rifle has been commissioned for use by the army as the standard-issue assault rifle, and thus, many factories are being built and opened. Ground capabilities are also being supplemented by more tanks being built. The goal is to reach a total military manpower count of 3 million people and have at least 700 tanks built by 2020. Designs for aircraft carriers are also being researched to boost Brazil's logistic capabilities, and in the meantime, lots of metal is being mined to support the rising military industry.

Diplomacy: While the country gets itself into order, Brazil makes no plans to go headlong into a military conflict. Unfortunately, BRICS died. Brazil wants to make BRICS again, and we will give Russia, India, China, and South Africa the chance to respond to reforming the economic alliance. Brazil is also seeking more sources of metals, what Bolivia and Chile have a good supply of. Also, not to stir any controversy, but Frese Lagos supports the Kurds.
