	History of Brazil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		From the 16th to the 18th centuries, Brazil was a colony of Portugal, exploited mainly for brazilwood at first, and later for sugarcane agriculture.
		The Andes and the mountain ranges of northern Brazil created a rather sharp cultural boundary between the settled agrarian civilizations of the West coast of South America (which gave rise to urbanized city-states and the immense Inca Empire) and the semi-nomadic tribes of the East, who never developed written records or permanent monumental architecture.
		Brazil's most severe problem is arguably its highly unequal distribution of wealth and income, one of the most extreme in the world.

		The empire had lost the East Bank of the Río de la Plata (An estuary between Argentina and Uruguay) with the founding of Uruguay in 1828, but it continued to meddle in that republic (A form of government whose head of state is not a monarch) 's affairs.

	Brazil: Provincial and Early State Flags (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Some months ago I read in Clóvis Ribeiro that the provinces of the Brazilian Empire before 1889 had their own flags.
		However, Ribeiro said these flags were not used within the provinces, but just to signify the origin of the ships coming to Rio's port by being flown at the top of the Castle Hill in downtown Rio de Janeiro.
		She said to me that the flags were very simple ones (she was describing them just by memory), so I had the feeling that the pennants shown at the flags of the world pages of the Brazilian states were indeed, in other proportions, the symbols of the Brazilian provinces [under the empire].

	Brazil
		It is a reaction to the emperor's dissolving the Constituent Assembly of the Empire, and purports to have the "North" of Brazil rule itself.
		The ambiguity is explicit in the draft Constitution, which does not mention Empire or emperor, and does mention a Secretary of the Interior and of Foreign Affairs, as well as the appointment of diplomatic representatives - a prime characteristic of sovereignty- yet does call the executive Supremo Govêrno Provincial [sic] da Confederação do Equador.
		The ambiguity of this and other dissidences is compounded by the fact that under the Empire the head of the government of each province is styled president.
