The Federative Republic of Brazil


 * Government: 
 * Jair Bolsonaro is the president of Brazil for ten years by 2028. Due to a constitutional amendment approved by the Congress in 2025, presidents can run for more than two terms if their approval is above 40%, which allowed Bolsonaro to be elected again in 2026. However, his popularity declined during his third term, as he allegedly manipulates approval researchers to keep his approval above 40%. Also, the ideals that got him elected in 2018 and reelected in 2022 are now considered obsolete, raising the suspicion of electoral fraud. Even with his public support declining, he still holds a large part of the Congress and can govern with no political problems.
 * Military: 
 * The Brazilian Armed Forces were restructured and improved during Bolsonaro's rule. By 2028, around 2.5 million men are in reserve due to Brazil's mandatory draft system, while 400,000 are deployed in border patrol, anti-deforestation operations in the Amazon and Cerrado, garrisoning and abroad humanitarian missions.
 * The Air Force is currently engaged in extensively patrolling the Amazon Rainforest, as big farmers keep expanding their farms into the forest. It's also cooperating with the Army to identify and shoot down aircraft used in drugs and weapons traffic. The use of aeroplanes to transport illegal material increased in the last years since they can't be stopped in roads like trucks and cars.
 * The Air Force also seeks to increase its helicopter fleet to help in these missions. The Navy is building its own aircraft carrier to patrol the coast, but due to lack of funds, the project is currently frozen. Instead, the Navy is investing in expanding the Marine Corps for better border patrol and operations against illegal actions in the Amazon.
 * Economy: 
 * The Brazilian GDP remains stable at around US$ 3B. The economy mostly depends on agropecuary exportations, but investments in education during Bolsonaro's rule increased the country's technology development sector. By 2028, the electronics industry is starting to become relevant, supplying the national industry with Brazilian-made modern machinery. The sector is expected to become important within the next decade.
 * Diplomacy: Nothing yet.
