I would most like to visit the country Brazil at some point in my life. The Brazilian government is a federal republic, it has twenty-six states and also a federal district. The federal government is made up of three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Each of the twenty-six states has three senators, with the Federal District. This makes eighty-one senators in total. Senate terms can be up to eight years long. There are also five hundred-thirteen deputies. Like the American government, the president of Brazil holds office for four years, and can then run again at the end of his term for re-election. The current Chief of State/ Head of Government of Brazil is President Dilma Rousseff.

The Brazilian government is similar to the American government, except the Brazilian government has specified power and authorities. The people who are in power interact well with their people, overall.
