My state is a large poultry exporter, and neighbors the one with the outbreak, weird that this isn't on the news here.

Not false, I also don't like it, but I'm not wrong.

Pedro II put Brazil well on it's way to become a global superpower.

The only one that came somewhat close was later Getúlio Vargas, but he was an asshole cruel dictator.

Maybe Lula in his first and second terms might deserve a distant third place.

I don't disagree, but still better than all the other leaders the country had.

The following dictatorship put up a lot of antimonarchist propaganda, but still today abolishing slavery is celebrated by all as an achievement of his government.

(Note: I'm not a monarchist)

In Brazil the monarchists get some sympathy because emperor Pedro II was the only competent and halfway decent leader the country ever had.

Now if only Macron stopped blocking the EU-Mercosur trade deal...

One year too early for the title? The 21st century started on 2001.

The Portuguese did much worse, I wonder how aware they are.

There was a point in time where 90% of Brazil's population was enslaved black peoples.

No country should be bigger than 200000-400000 km²
