Concordia
Concórdia has served as an agricultural centre in western Santa Catarina since the early 20th century. Set among the rolling uplands of the upper Uruguay River basin, the municipality is shaped by cattle pasture, crop fields and the poultry and pork production that underpins its economy. The city is closely linked to Brazil’s food industry: Sadia was founded here in 1944 by Attilio Fontana, establishing a business that later became part of BRF. Concórdia Airport lies outside the urban core, where its runway and open grassland underline the rural scale of this part of southern Brazil. Local settlement grew with migrants of Italian and German descent, whose influence remains part of the region’s cultural fabric.

Few cities in western Santa Catarina have a history as closely tied to the agricultural colonisation of the state's interior as Concórdia. Set in the rolling uplands of the upper Uruguay River basin, the city developed from settlement by families of mainly Italian and German descent during the 20th century. Food processing remains central to its identity: Sadia, one of Brazil's best-known food brands, was founded in Concórdia in 1944 by Attilio Fontana. That industrial legacy sits alongside a regional economy of poultry, pork and dairy farming, linking the urban centre to rural communities across western Santa Catarina.

Atlantic coastline, remnants of the Atlantic Forest and southern highlands define much of Santa Catarina — their contrasting environments support agriculture, manufacturing, port trade and tourism. Brazil’s southern state stretches from Atlantic beaches to cooler upland areas, where Araucaria forest is an important regional feature. Florianópolis, the state capital, occupies Santa Catarina Island and is closely associated with the coast, while the interior has long been shaped by farming and industry. Azorean traditions remain visible in coastal communities, and German and Italian immigration has strongly influenced food, architecture and local festivals in other parts of the state.

Brazil has served as a Portuguese colonial link between Europe and South America since the 16th century. Its immense territory extends from the Amazon River basin in the north to the Atlantic coast, with the Pantanal wetlands and Brazilian Highlands creating very different regions inland. Rio de Janeiro sits beside Guanabara Bay beneath Sugarloaf Mountain, while Brasília is known for its planned layout and modernist buildings by Oscar Niemeyer. Portuguese is the official language, and football, regional cuisines and Carnival celebrations are central to public life across the country.
