Brazil has been the biggest economy in Latin America for decades, what cave have you been living in?

Look at fertility. These projections make no sense without considering TFR and growth through immigration.

I can't fathom why you think a country like Russia doesn't have a powerful economy.

Not just Russia, there are many countries most westerners know nothing about that have more money than one would have expected.

> there are many countries most westerners

Maybe this is meant in a way that makes sense, but what do you mean westerners specifically? Our maps include the same countries as people "from the east of us" (whatever that means on a globe), and we all can consult global statistics. Am I missing something obvious?

Brazil has a large and heavily industrialized economy. It is however radically unequal (even by US terms) which may be why you think the country is poor as a whole. With a GDP of $2 trillion USD the Brazilian economy is comparable to Spain or Korea in size.

There are cities in Brazil that are relatively utopian compared to a lot of US cities. It’s not all Rio, but some people think it is.

I'm curious what do you mean by "utopian" and could you give some examples?

Check out Curitiba. It’s a beautiful clean city with very low crime and great public transportation. It’s more like Mountain View or Ann Arbor than Chicago or New Orleans. Compared to a city like Memphis or St Louis, it’s relatively utopian. It’s a .856 on the Human Development Index, which puts many US cities to shame.

Brazil? It’s a massive economy. Do you get your news from memes?

Why? Both countries are top 10 in pop and area. Only makes sense.
