Nowadays Brazil is the sixth largest economy in the world, being proud of his position and struggling to keep increasing.

• Despite always bickering with Argentina (mainly because of football, South America's lead and stupid reasons) their relationship is good in general, marked with many comercial and military agreements.

• Brazil is also close to Alfred, mainly commercially.

• Uruguay, who was Brazil's colony, has a good relationship with Lu nowadays, being Lu's most trusted person in Latin America.
