Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest country in South America. The Brazilian population tends to concentrate along the Atlantic coastline in large urban centers. While Brazil has one of the largest populations in the world, its overall population density is low since the vast inland regions are sparsely populated. Brazil is a racially diverse, multiracial country, and intermarriage among different ethnic groups has been part of the country's history. Utilizing vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader.
