Federative Republic of Brazil


 * Government: A shocking turn of events occur as Aecio Neves, President of Brazil, falls into a coma. Doctors and forensic scientists state that Neves experienced drug poisoning, from a special nerve agent. A major investigation is being conducted as the nation's vice president, Shéridan Estérfany, has been appointed president. Rumors are being spread across the country about Russia perhaps causing this coma, but it is disputed.
 * Embezzlement Charges: After an investigation, Neves was found to have embezzled 20 million dollars from the national budget, taking the majority of money he positioned in "Government Infrastructure". Because he is in a coma, he cannot be prosecuted, but a vote of impeachment is being processed even without him conscious.
 * Amapá Fires: A massive fire was ignited by arsonists, presumably in protest of the banning of tree logging, destroying 25% of the rain forest in the state. The arsonists were detained by Amapanese forces, who found that the arsonists were hired by Fibia, a paper/logging company. The state is currently in the process of suing the company.
 * Reforestation Efforts and Tree Hybrids: Approximately 5,831km of forest have been regained, but these forests are young, so time will tell if they stay. But thanks to the Fibian Amapa Fires, much more land has been lost than gained. As for the tree hybrid projects, they have been dropped thanks to widespread opposition, the recession caused by the Second Chinese Civil War, and the new president Shéridan Estérfany's new policies.
 * Economy: Thanks to the Chinese Civil War, a recession has caused the already-faltering economy to drop even more. Protests are being made across the country yet again, thanks to the recession, unemployment rates, and government embezzlement.
 * Military: The military of Brazil is currently the largest employer of Brazil, thanks to the lack of jobs elsewhere. Forces are currently being directed towards pacifying the protests and ridding the forests of rogue forces. Currently, a small but growing portion of the army is being directed towards the Peruvian border in case of war. This direction SHOULD NOT be seen as Brazil attempting an invasion. It should only be seen as protection in case of war.
 * Active Personnel: 371,970
 * Reserve Personnel: 2,340,000
 * Research and Development: Funding for this area has decreased somewhat, as the recession's effects have diverted attention elsewhere.
 * Project Alegre: Project Alegre has been successful in planning, and has now moved towards building a prototype shell. This shell however will be implemented with the new AI being developed by Operation Alberto, so the timing of the finishing of O.A will effect when the Alegre shell will be finished. Also, a new name has been developed for this shell, known as the "P.A.R 76 Brazilian Robot Shell".
 * Operation Alberto: Despite several great advances, Operation Alberto is still on the drawing board. However, it is expected that O.A will finally go on to developing a successful prototype by next year. A name has been put up for this AI, which is now called the O. A 78 Brazillian AI.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ecuador and Peru: The government of Brazil urges these two nations to not go to war, for war will only cause even more damage to the already hampered economies of South America. It should be known by these nations, specifically Peru, that the increased border control and presence of troops is not and should not be seen as Brazil attempting to start aggression. It should only be seen as mere preparation for in case of actual war, and to quell rogue forces and insurgency in the Amazon forests of Brazil. We hope that these tensions do not boil over into war.
 * China: We support you and your fight against neo-Maoism and its threats to the 21st century. Whilst you have quite positive relations with Russia, we still see that a neo-Maoist China will hinder the success of both your nation and Earth.
 * Kazakhstan: The government supports a better relationship with both Kazakhstan and the Turkic Union, for it seems that you have a) beef with Russia and b) a potentially powerful economy. We agree to your proposals, as long as Russia doesn't get into this.
 * Russia: Your newly created hostilities towards Brazil are expected yet stupid. Making yet another enemy—who is a great power by the way, and not some small unheard of nation—is going to make you unsuccessful in your quest for power. Rather than making more enemies, I suggest you stop it with your alleged "campaigns" to help ethnic Russians. It's clear you only want power, and you clearly haven't been helping any Russians. Also, your attempt to take advantage of the situations in Bosnia and Greece are dehumanizing and unacceptable. We request of you to withdraw from intervening in these areas or else we will put our military into this.
 * France: We are open to better trade with your nation and the Juste de L'Atlantique.
 * U.S: Military Alliance? (I feel like Estonia trying to into Nordic...)
