- The official language is Portuguese (not Spanish)
- The capital is Bras�lia (not Rio de Janeiro, although it was the capital till 1960 or something)
- Shares common boundaries with every South American country except Chile and Ecuador
- More than half of the population is white (or look white, as miscigenation played a important whole here)
- It's got the largest Japanese colony overseas
- Brazilian cars not only use gas but also alcohol

I knew all of those...and regarding the Catholic country thing, I thought it was Mexico because 80% of their population is Catholic, or at least that's what I've heard. I don't know how Brazil measures up though, both in terms of population and percentage-Catholic.

It's because we've got far more people here:
Mexico -> 104,907,991 inhabitants, 89% of them being Catholic. (93,368,111 Catholic Mexicans).
Brazil -> 182,032,604 inhabitants, 80% of them being Catholic. (145,626,083 Catholic Brazilians).

It was an idea from the 80's. There was that crisis with oil and stuff so we had to find a way to produce a fuel without counting on imports. Thus, cars moved by alcohol were developed

In fact, I still don't know what the heck we use gas in cars here for... I guess it must be because of Petrobras

Nay, although in certain cities like Salvador (and some parts of Rio) they're the majority, like Asians in some parts of S�o Paulo (there are so many of them) and native Americans in Amazon (despite of the fact most of them were killed a long time ago ).
