Brazil is the smallest big country in the world. Although it is the fifth largest nation on the planet, four times the size of Mexico and more than twice that of India, the Brazil where most Brazilians live, work and play forms only a small fraction of the country's total landmass of 8,509,711 sq. km (3,285,618 sq. miles). One in four people crowd into five metropolitan areas in the southern part of the country.
Together, the southern and southeastern states contain more than 60 percent of Brazil's population yet account for only 16 percent of the country's geographic area. In effect, 98 million Brazilians live in an area slightly smaller than Alaska, while another 66 million populate an area the size of the continental United States minus Texas. What Brazil has is space - enormous regions of vast, empty space.

Hi tony -only seen your post now - seems to me you asked me that on the other side aswell, I live on Finglas East near the village & Ballygall road West. I am not far from Clearwater which was the old Janelle factory & the schools & shops plus St Canice's Church. My road is Finglas place - I remember Leemo took loads of photos of Finglas and how it looks today on the other side - pity I was at work when he took the photo of my road LOL!!!
