| Location: | Eastern South America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean |
| Population: | 182,032,604
note: Brazil took a count in August 2000, which reported a population of 169,799,170; that figure was about 3.3% lower than projections by the US Census Bureau, and is close to the implied underenumeration of 4.6% for the 1991 census; estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (2003 est.) (July 2003 est.) |
| Capital: | Brasilia |
| GDP per capita: | purchasing power parity - $7,600 (2002 est.) |
