Located in Eastern South America along the Atlantic Ocean, Brazil was under the rule of Portugal for three centuries, until it became an independent nation in 1822 and a republic in 1889. It remains the largest and most populous country in South America as well as a leading economic power. With its vast amount of natural resources and labor, unequal income distribution and environmental issues persist as problem areas.
