The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.[13] Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824.[13] Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic.[14] The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.[14][15]
The Brazilian economy is the world's sixth largest by nominal GDP and the seventh largest by purchasing power parity (as of 2011).[16][17] Brazil is one of the world's fastest growing major economies.

Brazil is also one of the 17 Megadiverse countries, home to diverse wildlife, natural environments, and extensive natural resources in a variety of protected habitats.[11] With a confirmed presence of 67 isolated tribes by the Fundação Nacional do Índio, Brazil has the world's greatest number of uncontacted peoples.[

The Surinamese depend upon the ecological and economic diversity of their country. The many rivers and the Atlantic coast provide Suriname with an abundant supply of food and economic products.
Around 80 percent of Suriname is pristine rainforest, where only 5 percent of the population lives. So most Surinamese live in close contact with the built environment. Specifically, around half of the population lives in Paramaribo, the capital city. The rest of the population mainly lives along the coast.
Suriname is one of the top 10 producers of bauxite in the world. The country also has significant gold deposits. SURALCO, asubsidiary of the Aluminum Company of America, has been mining bauxite in Suriname since 1916. Mining and logging have the potential for significant deforestation, which affects all aspects of Surinamese life.
