Brazil's HDI value in 2012 was .730 in the high human
development category, which put Brazil as 85 out of 187
countries. A graph on this website showed a few
different things like, life expectancy, education, GNI
per capita & HDI. The life expectancy in Brazil has risen
little by little between 1980 and 2010. The education in
Brazil has definitely skyrocketed from 1980 to 2010, but
the GNI per capita has just about stayed the same over
that time period. The HDI in Brazil hasn't increased by a
lot but it has risen, in a graph comparing Brazil,
Colombia & Paraguay showed that from 1980 to 2012
Brazil's HDI level has risen above both of the other
countries.

Brazil is a Federal Republic, a Federal
Republic is a state where the powers of the
central government are restricted but there is
a certain degree of self government, also
voters chose the people they want to be
governmental representatives. The person
who is the Leader is called chief executive.
The Chief Executive usually holds office for 4
years. The legislature has 513 seats.
Description of Government
Brazil is ranked 123 out of 177, Brazils
Failed Nation Status is 64.1. The reasons
why Brazils score is so high is because of
things like demographic pressures,
Vengeance, Uneven Economic
Development, Security Apparatus and
Legitimacy of State.
Failed Nation Status
1.) Demographic Pressures: is high population making food
sources low, settlement patterns, environmental hazards &
border disputes
The demographic pressures that Brazil is facing are things like
deforestation, drought, limited resource.
2.) Uneven Economics (education, jobs, poverty) There are a
lot of people who live in poverty over in Brazil and many of
them don't have jobs.
3.) Security Apparatus: rival militias/private armies who
protest against state security forces
In Brazil there are putting up more security for the border,
natural resources and more security for the 2014 World Cup.
Also Brazil has anti-riot police vehicles that drive around the
slums of Brazil trying to prevent crimes and riots.
4.) Legitimacy of State: Brazil has a very unequal distribution
of income, the social welfare isn't very good and the
educational standards are low.
Four Factors of Failure
Dilma Rousseff is
Brazil's President.
She has been the
president since
2011 and she is the
first women to hold
office.

One picture is showing the Brazil Staduim and how it
has been vadilised. The IACC is worried that there
will be more violence in Brazil because there are
many groups on Brazilian people who protest that
they don't want Brazil to be corrupted. People are
worried that bring the 2014 world cup and the 2016
Olympics will bring corruption to Brazil.
