if it was spelt with an 's' it would sound like 'bra-sil' which is very similar to the herb- basil. The Brazilian language contians more proment lettering than English, so more corse souds like v's are put in place. With the 'v' it sounds 'bra-zil' like its meant to sounds. that's like asking why a head is spelt head

The spelling of Brazil with a "z" instead of an "s" can be attributed to the influence of Portuguese language, which uses "z" to represent the same sound that "s" does in English. This spelling difference is due to the historical evolution of the Portuguese language and its orthographic rules.
