**Império do Brasil** (English: Brazilian Empire) was a nation that, at its peak, occupied almost all of South America. The empire was founded by General\_ on the day of the release of Season III (31. August, 2020). It was one of the largest nations on CG and had nearly 100 citizens at its peak.

## Description

The nation was, at its peak, the second largest nation on CG, and streched all the way from Argentina to Trinidad and Tobago. It is a constitutional monarchy. The emperor (General\_) appointed a new chancellor every month to serve as the figurehead of the nation. However, the emperor decides what powers the chancellor gets, and has the power to remove the chancellor.

The nation had a well-mainained metro system which has a total length of over 60km. They built the first transatlantic rail, connecting South America to Africa and Europe.

Although English was the preferred language of communication, Portuguese was also spoken by lusophones, and all official signs (i.e. on the railway) were bilingual.

## History

Wars, disputes, etc. That info belongs here.

### Early History (Before October 2020)

The empire was planned several months before the reset when both Lima\_1012 and Campy\_br agreed to join General\_, MartinSekas, AuxDePanfleteiro, and WalmartPresident to make a nation in Brazil. It was one of the first nations ever created on CG - it was made just 6 hours after Season 3 was released to the public. Porto Alegre was the first city founded, followed quickly by Rio de Janeiro, Brasília (the capital), Manaus, Fortaleza, and Belém. Soon after that, the first railway on the entire server was created (between Brasília and Fortaleza).

Initially, Império do Brasil focused on connecting its major cities via rail - unlike nations like Japan, most of Brazil's cities were widely spaced apart, some over 2km away from the nearest city. More people joined and founded more cities. Fortaleza quickly became the most populous city, and it quickly developed into a modern city with a few skyscrapers. Porto Alegre focused more on building a palace and some older buildings. Brasília was not too developed throughout the season, primarily because the leader of Brasília focused more on building rails.

Diplomatically, Brazil mostly remained neutral during this period. They formed a close, primarily economic alliance with Long Chile, and also remained friendly with Japan. Brazil only claimed the territories of real-life Brazil, as well as Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, and Cisplatina (Uruguay).

Mostly, everyone did their own thing in Brazil, and there was no central goal for everyone to work on. However, resource sharing was encouraged, and newer people were often helped with supplies.

In late September, the international perception of Long Chile changed, and Japan eventually severed ties with them, eventually leading to the first Pacific Civil war. Brazil initiallly remained neutral in this conflict, however, the emperor of Brazil secretly decided to bomb Long Chile with landmines at the end of September, with Japan's permission. In total, 10 landmines were placed, leading to the deaths of 4 people. In addition, the emperor leaked ally chat communications (which Brazil had access to) showing that the African Empire (AFE, an ally of CE) was discussing hiring a hit on MystoMoe, the leader of the Celto-Angevin empire. The conflict eventually ended and Long Chile fell apart due to unrelated reasons, forming the new Caribbean Empire, which now bordered Brazil from the north. Brazil immediately claimed all of Long Chile's Argentine and Bolivian claims.

During this time, RelmCheatham joined, along with some of his friends, and formed the city of Salvador - which soon became a primarily military-based town. They claimed the Falklands and South Georgian islands.

Campy\_Br was chosen to become the Prime Minister of Brazil in October 2020.

### Second Pacific War

Due to permissions not working properly on the Japan discord server, Pinguinix (having moved to the DPRK) was able to see General\_ and The\_Blex discussing bombing Long Chile. He asked Irene, the leader of the DPRK, to immediately sever all diplomatic ties with Brazil, but Irene instead decided to declare war, along with the AFE. Brazil responded first by compensating the Caribbean Empire for landmines that were placed in their territory back when they were a part of Long Chile, thus keeping them out of the war. On the first day (October 14th), the emperor survived an assassination attempt by Pinguinix, and one Brazilian citizen was murdered. On the second day, the AFE seiged Salvador, but no causalities occured. The Celto-Angevin Empire decided to join Brazil and seiged Korea. On the third day, negotiations between the DPRK, Brazil, and the CAE quickly broke down when a request for compensation from the DPRK was blatantly refused by Brazil. However, negotiations between the emperor and the leader of the AFE led to peace between those two nations. Irene decided to declare war on Japan after accusing them of aiding Brazil, but this move was widely unpopular in the DPRK. In addition, the CAE lost several thousand dollars of goods when one of their citizens was assassinated after traveling in the wilderness. On the fourth and last day, the DPRK asked for peace with Brazil, but the emperor and his cabinet refused, as the DPRK did not want to end the war against Japan and the CAE, with Irene declaring that the war would "go on until the end of the season". However, after talks of civil war within the DPRK arose, and Pinguinix, with Irene's approval, re-initiated negotiations between all parties of the war, and reached a settlement. Brazil apologized for its past actions, items were returned, and no compensation had to be paid.

### Brazil under RelmCheatham, Caribbean Wars

RelmCheatham became Prime Minister after running on a campaign of militarizing Brazil and preparing it for war. A few days after being elected, he renamed his position to Chancellor of Brazil. A few days afterwards, on the 8th of November, Relm joined Japan in the fight against the DPRK. One day later, Brazil declared war against the Caribbean Empire, the allies of the DPRK. Due to Blex's resignation as Shogun of Japan, Relm stopped the war against the DPRK, but continued the war agains the Caribbean, thus starting the First Caribbean War. Relm asked HairySonic to make a nation for him, which he did, starting the nation of West Coast, which was located under 500m away from Ecuador, one of the prime targets of the war. With 7 kills against 0, the war was a decisive Brazilian victory, fought in just two days. Relm then signed the Treaty of Las Queseras del Medio, a brutal treaty which vassalized the Caribbean Empire, required its old leaders to never hold a leadership position again, and thus moved the capital of the nation to Cancun, where it was led by Connor\_Kenway24. In addition, the town of Puerto La Cruz seceded and joined Brazil. However, the old leader of the CE, AlbertoCh9, seceded from the CE and made his own city-state nation, and began to attack residents of both the Caribbean Empire and Brazil. Worse, Pinguinix came back and claimed all of Long Chile's old territories again, and even going as far as to make his own town in Chile. The emperor survived two assassination attempts on his life, and the Second Caribbean war officialy began. After some days of fighting and dodging assassins, on November 16th, General\_ brokered a peace treaty with gatitomc, officially signing the Treaty of Cuba, which relinquishses the vassalization of the CE and divided the disputed territories of Peru and Venezuela in half. Long Chile left South America soon after that.

Peace was a slow process, and some Brazilians were still placing bounties on CE citizens even after the war was over. However, both nations eventually reconciled and became peaceful towards each other. Relm was re-appointed chancellor in December 2020.

### Brazilian Civil War

Relm's re-appointment was controversial, and some citizens saw him as someone who would rather promote war over peace. His decision to get involved in the Japan conflict by announcing a $1000 bounty on MystoMoe's head was deemed controversial. However, what was deemed more concerning to some senators of Brazil is that he did not join the game in over 15 days. On December 11th, Campy\_Br made a motion to impeach Relm for inactivity, which passed the senate. Relm was (after some protests) given a chance to defend himself. However, before the senate reached a final conclusion, evidence was released that Relm had planned a revolution against Brazil to keep himself in power. Before the emperor could remove Relm for treason, he had already seceded and formed a new nation, the Brazilian Revolution. The revolution quickly gained support from Japan and The West Coast, while Império do Brasil gained support from the Celto-Angevin Empire. The CAE seiged Japan while peace talks occured, and on December 15th, the revolution ended and a compromise was signed. The emperor became acting chancellor, the government is completely resturctured, and Relm is given the opportunity to run again for chancellor in January.

After the civil war, mostly due to the holidays, the nation became more inactive, and it pretty much died after the reset was announced on January 7th, 2021. Relm was re-appointed as chancellor and served for the remainder of Brazil's existence.

## Government

The Government of Brazil had a legislative, judicial, and executive branch. General\_ is the emperor of Brazil, and each season he appointed a chancellor to run the nation. The powers of the chancellor are decided by the emperor, who may remove the chancellor at any time. The senate is the legislative body and had the power to impeach the chancellor as well, which it used only once (against RelmCheatham in December 2020). Brazil was subdivided into various states, which sent senators to represent themselves in the legislature. In addition, Brazil also owned territories, which had no representation in the legislature, but were run by a governor appointed by the emperor. Here is a list of states and territories (senators sent into the legislature marked in parentheses):

* Sul (3) [Capital: Porto Alegre]
* São Paulo - Rio de Janeiro (1) [Capital: Rio de Janeiro]
* Bahía (2) [Capital: Salvador]
* Distríto Federal (1) [Capital: Brasília]
* Sertão (4) [Capital: Fortaleza]
* Amazonas (1) [Capital: Manaus]
* Guiana (1) [Capital: Cayenne]
* Venezuela (2) [Capital: Caracas]
* Chile (1) [Capital: Santiago]
* Territory of Peru
* Territory of Bolivia
* Territory of Mato Grosso
* Territory of Paraguay
* Territory of Rio de la Plata
* Territory of Argentina
* Territory of Falklands and South Sandwich Islands

## Geography

Brazil was a very geographically diverse nation. Central Brazil was relatively flat, northern Brazil was full of rainforest. Southern Brazil was a dense dark oak biome. In Bolivia, there are tall mountains, some which go almost 200m high. Most of Peru, Southern Argentina, and Bolivia was desert, which secured Brazil's sand supply

## Transport

Brazil had one of the longest and best connected transportation networks on the server. The network was over 60km long and connected all of South America by rail, and even connected to Central America, Africa, and Europe. The first rail built was the Blue Line, which was built (back then) from Brasília to Fortaleza. All rails have 3 redstone block-powered rails, built 30 blocks apart, with 3 sets of 5 powered rails at the beginning and end of the rails. This is so that if your minecart gets stopped or blocked in the middle of the rail, you can easily get back to top speed and you won't be stranded in the middle of nowhere. Most rails (except for the yellow line from Brasília to Salvador) were single-tracked. Later on in the season, more advanced rails were built which could go diagonal at top speed.

Brazilian Rails were often given a color. For example, the Blue Line went from Conexão São Paulo to Conexão Maranhão via Brasília. "Connection stations" (PT: Estações de Conexão) existed in various parts of the network, which served the purpose of easily switching from one line to another. For instance, Conexão Maranhão allowed people to easily switch from the Blue Line to the Green or Purple Line.

In October, the first BRLD (Brazilian Long Distance) rails were built. These were long distance rails which connected far-away cities directly to the Brazilian Railway Network. The first of these, BRLD-1, was constructed in just three days, and connected C. Natal to Africa and Europe. It was 12.5km long. BRLD-2 connected Florida to Trinidad, and would have been extended to Chicago. Additional rails to the far pacific and Antarctica were planned.
