[2] lit. "Great Southern River") is the southernmost state in Brazil, and the state with the fourth highest Human Development Index (HDI) in the country, and the third and last in the Brazilian South Region, with by far the highest standard of living. [3] Founded by Manuel Seplveda, who used the fictitious name or pseudonym Jos Marcelino de Figueiredo (fictitious name), to hide their identity, was the founder of Porto Alegre and the first governor of the Region. In this state is located the southernmost city in the country, Chu, on the border with Uruguay. In the region of Bento Gonalvesand Caxias do Sul, the largest wine producing center in Brazil, the attraction is Italian cuisine. Besides the European influence, the gachos, or inhabitants of Rio Grande do Sul, strongly cultivate the traditions of thePampas region of the border with Uruguay and Argentina such as drinking mate (known as chimarro drunk in special gourd cups), eating the typical barbecue, known as churrasco, and the traditional clothes are the bombachas (baggy trousers), boots and large hats. Although the majority of the population dresses non-traditionally, there is [citation needed][according to whom?] a widespread value for tradition and culture, which renders the image of "cultural zealots" sometimes attributed [by whom?] to the gachos.
