Brazil Explained For Foreigners Based On Common Regional Stereotypes

Map created by reddit user Domeriko648
The map above is a not so serious way to explain Brazil to foreigners based on some common regional stereotypes. Now having never been to Brazil I have no idea how accurate these are but the author has provided an handy explainer below:

Not a real place(west) – Too isolated to be remembered

Not a real place(east) – Not isolated but kinda insignificant for being closer to important states

Big ass Jungle – Amazon Jungle

Used to be big ass jungle – Deforested Amazon

Your food comes from here – Region with large agricultural production.

All the money – Richest state(São Paulo)

Russia – Brazilian Florida, where crazy stuff happens

White than Denmark – Region which received the most of the European immigration on late XIX and early XX centuries

What you think Brazil is – Rio de Janeiro state, basically all the culture foreigners know as Brazilian is in fact more a Rio de Janeiro culture than Brazilian in general.

Grandma’s House – Minas Gerais state, known for having friendly people and a rich cuisine, when you visit a mineiro person’s house he/she will probably stuff you with food

Modern Day Feudalism – Maranhão state is known for being controlled by the Sarney family

Flooded Desert – Lençóis Maranhenses

Ugh – The capital Brasilia with all the congressmen

The others are self-explanatory

    I would put Parana state (depicted here as “Russia”) in the category of “whiter than Denmark” instead, just like the two southernmost Brazilian states to Parana’s south.

    And Parana certainly *isn’t* the Brazilian Florida. I would instead designate at least some of the coastal northeastern areas as such, at least in terms of warmer year-round coastal climate.

    Personal disclosure: I’m not Brazilian, nor have I ever been to Brazil, but I’ve known much about that country for decades.
