The presidential Republic of Brazil (Portuguese Brasil) in South America with the capital Brasilia covers 8,515,770 km². That is almost half of the subcontinent. It also includes a number of offshore islands in the Atlantic such as St Peter and St Paul's Rocks (lighthouses), the former convict colony of Fernando de Noronha, as well as Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all South American countries (with the exception of Chile and Ecuador). In an anti-clockwise direction, these are French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
