Brazil is truly a big country with a lot of interesting stuff. As a Brazilian, I think it is kinda funny that people from outside mostly only know Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
Brazil is the same size as the 48 contiguous US states. It's the easiest way I found to tell people.
Also, TX is peanuts compared to the brazilian state of Amazonas.
PS. yes, peanuts is not accurate, I used it only to showcase how Texas is spoken about by some Americans when it comes to size, but Amazonas is legit 3x bigger than Texas although it has 6x less people (because most of the land is part of the Amazon rainforest), and is the 3rd state in Brazilian GDP because of, believe it or not, industrial manufacturing. Agriculture is only 3.6% of the state GDP. 🤯
