The largest country in South America and located on the Atlantic coast, Brazil borders every country on the continent except for Chile and Ecuador. In total geographic size, Brazil is just slightly smaller than the United States (CIA World Factbook - Brazil 2009). The capital of Brazil is Brasilia, located in the central southeast region of the country. Brasilia is a planned city and a symbolic effort to develop the country’s vast interior. The idea of a new inland capital had been proposed in the 1820s (Areal 2007) but it was President Juscelino Kubitschek who inaugurated the start of the city in 1956. Originally planned to accommodate 500,000, Brasilia and its satellite cities today house 2,000,000 people (Areal 2007).
