'''Brazil''' is [[South America]]'s largest country; it's so huge that [[Recife]] is closer to [[Dakar]], [[Senegal]] than [[Porto Alegre]]. It stretches from the [[Amazon rainforest]] to the beaches of [[Rio de Janeiro]]. Brazil's culture is vibrant and diverse. Every Carnival, millions take to the streets in a huge nationwide festival.
==Music==
The most iconic genre of Brazilian music is [[samba]]. Samba originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of [[Bahia]] in the 19th century and further developed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century. [[Bossa nova]] is a fairly new and relaxing style of samba that mixes itself with jazz. Another notable genre is [[forró]], which comes from the Northeastern Region. Meanwhile, back in Rio de Janeiro, [[funk carioca]] is a newer genre of music popular among youths in urban areas. Despite the name, it has no connection to [[United States|American]] [[funk]].
==Literature== 
[[The Alchemist (novel)|O Alquimista]] (The Alchemist), now one of the most well-known novels, was published in Brazil. It chronicles Santiago's journey across North [[Africa]] to find treasure in the [[Egypt]]ian pyramids.
==Football==
Brazil is home to the world's biggest [[football]] fanbase. Its national team, which has seen legends such as [[Pelé]], [[Ronaldinho]], and [[Neymar]], has won five world championships, most recently in 2002.

Despite this...
{{Football box

}}

This remains a national tragedy to this day.

In terms of domestic football, there are the state leagues and then there is the Brasileirão. Many of Brazil's biggest teams, such as [[São Paulo]]-based teams Palmeiras and Corinthians and [[Rio de Janeiro]]-based teams Flamengo and Fluminense, compete in both competitions.
==Urban planning==
Brazil's horribly-planned capital is [[Brasília]], which is one of the most car-dependent capitals in the world.
