History
Pre-First Scinfaxi War
The earliest evidence of human habitation of the former Earth territory of Brazil dates to at least 9,000 BCE. By the time of the arrival of the Portuguese in 1500, the area was inhabited by numerous tribal nations with an estimated population of around 7 million people. Subsequently claimed by the Portuguese Empire, Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. Slavery was abolished in 1888. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état.
The Cold War
The Federative Republic of Brazil is one of three Great Powers within the Local Supercluster, along with the United Centauri Republic and the Republic of India. Its role within Orion astropolitics is defined by its strategic position bordering major translight routes, its emerging status as a major power, and a growing rivalry with India. Its predominant role within the Non-Aligned Movement gives it a great interstellar reach, amplified soft power.
War of the Bolivar Sea
Federative Republic of Brazil - Republic of India Tensions
As a part of an ongoing rivalry between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of India, a series of high-profile freedom of navigation exercises have been conducted by the competing nations in one another's IDIZs. In response to a prior Indian operation in the Encruzilhada Subcluster, a Brazilian task force of 104 ships conducted a similar operation in the Apollo Subcluster. This would be responded to, in turn, with an Indian task force of 210 ships deployed to the Bolivar Sea.
Both Brazil and India have imposed broad tariffs targeting each other's exports in their ongoing competition to extend their rival IDIZs and free trade zones.
