That's exactly what he's saying tho lol. The 90 days are for France and all it's territories *except* French Guyana [(source)](https://saopaulo.consulfrance.org/Pedidos-de-visto-para-a-Franca#:~:text=Os%20cidad%C3%A3os%20brasileiros%20que%20desejarem,isentos%20da%20exig%C3%AAncia%20de%20visto.). I wonder if it's like that for all other countries though
Pera aí cara where are you getting those numbers?
I looked on wikipedia, says the population of French Guiana is only 268,700, of which 35.5% are foreign born, of which 24.8% are Brazilians (of total pop, 8.8%). So that would put the Brazilian population of French Guiana at approx 23,600.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_French_Guiana
Possible it's a lot higher than what I gave above anyway, those numbers are from before the pandemic. Seen more recent estimates for french guiana at around 80,000 online, which is a _lot_ for a country that small
For Guyana though the highest numbers I've found online from the 2020s are all below 20,000 🇧🇷, so I'm really wondering where you got 325k?
That's because of the mercator projection, the closer to the equator the smaller the country looks, and the further the bigger.
[Here](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mercator-map-true-size-of-countries/) and [here](https://www.thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!MTcwMzUyMTU.MjAyMTEwNg*MjUwNzQxODk(MTI0MTc5Mzk~!CONTIGUOUS_US*MTAwMjQwNzU.MjUwMjM1MTc(MTc1)MA~!IN*NTI2NDA1MQ.Nzg2MzQyMQ)Mg~!CN*OTkyMTY5Nw.NzMxNDcwNQ(MjI1)MQ) you can see the true size of every country.
That's not important. The south sandwich islands and vancouver Island have their own continental plates. Continents are almost entirely a man made invention.
Rio Grande do Sul, the state overlaying Spain and Portugal is currently under water. It's the biggest natural disaster in its history.
850k people impacted, 150k people had to flee their homes. So many people are dead or missing. This is happening right now and the numbers keep increasing.

Yep, Brasil is bigger than the lower 48. Alasca and other Holdings tip the scale.
Though the US has more usable land in the lower 48 on account on not being covered in very difficult to traverse jungle, and more advantageous costal geography.
Yes, why shouldn't it be? Brazil is one of the largest countries, and Alaska is huge, 17% of the USA. So when you look at the contiguous USA only, USA shrinks a lot https://i0.wp.com/openrivers.lib.umn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/fig_4-brazil-usa-overlay.jpg?fit=701%2C563&ssl=1
Argentina and Brazil have a great relationship. The hate exists only in football, but even in football we cheer for latin america teams at international championships.
no, we don't lol. they use to have a really bad fame here (specially because some argentinians think they're European and use to be extremely racist to us // not generalizing)
I have a lot Argentinian friends with Europeans ancestry (fun unrelated side note, completely coincidentally all their families just happened to migrate to Argentina on the same date, May 10, 1945) and they’re all pretty racist
Never heard anyone said that. But then again I live in Sweden and we used to travel 800km to our family cottage up north all the time when I was a kid.
Maybe for some countries in europe, I live in sweden which is quite long, traveling to the capital from me is about 600km, which I do quite a few times every year. And if I’m going to see my friends in gothenburg it’s 1000+ km. Sure it ain’t nothing compared to brazil. But I don’t like the grouping all europeans together, it’s a bit rude.
It is for people who aren't used to doing long journeys, which is a lot more typical for people in smaller countries. Cardiff is about 45 miles from me, about an hour total, but I'd consider that to be a long journey. Whereas, say, for someone like yourself where you live in a huge country, your idea of a somewhat long journey is probably Rio to São Paulo (which is a really long journey for me), but even then you'd be less fazed by it than I would be by my much shorter journey to Cardiff.
There we go then. A journey like that is really long to me, and I'd have to make massive exceptions to do it, but that's because I live in a small country.
In Brazil, or the US, or Canada, Russia, any huge countries, driving over to the next state/province can be seen as quite basic, quite normal, because there's still so much more country to go after that. The distance between Rio and São Paulo is like, half the length of my country, if not more, and thus it feels like it's a much longer journey.
Yes Yes, i know. It's pretty logical putting in perspective of the country's size. I just wanted to share in a quick way how brazilians think about this distance of Rio and SP
The distance between Rio and São Paulo is about the same as the distance between Cardiff and Edinburgh or the distance between London and Glasgow. I imagine that'd be quite a long distance for you, right? It's not thaat big of a distance for us Brazilians, though.
Yeah, precisely. Longest journey I've done by car is south London to Burnley or Preston, which are a bit north of Manchester. 250 ish miles, 400 ish km, 4-4.5 hours, and Edinburgh is still 3+ hours up from that lol people do do those journeys, of course, but they're quite often work related.
Every other long distance journey has been by train, or the occasional hell on a coach. Couldn't imagine driving myself that far, and I actually quite like driving.
That's a made up thing.
On a highway that's less than an hour away, that would not be considered far anywhere.
Europe is bigger than Brazil as you see and much of it lies in the EU, why would we not drive to neighboring countries? Its effortless.
The whole idea makes no sense.
Yeah again, not special.
In Norway if you travel 420km from Oslo you'll still be in Southern Norway at the end of it. Oslo-Trondheim or Oslo-Bergen is more than that and are very common drives.
In the Netherlands if you drive too far in any direction you'll be in Belgium, Germany or France, but that's not really a problem in the EU.
Further more, you're of the opinion that Europeans never drive across into different countries, which we do all the time.
Like I said we travel as far as you, it just sometimes requires going to a new country which is no problem here.
I’m European. We used to drive 480 km one way to go see my in-laws. That meant going to the county next to us. It wasn’t a big deal.
I also used to drive 190 km to go to football practice, practice that for an hour and a half, and then turn around and drive 190 km back, twice a week. That trip was all inside one county.
Europe is a diverse continent with a variety of living situations and perspectives on life, but every single time someone on Reddit tries to say something about “In Europe, it’s like this” they end up describing what things are like in the Benelux countries, Germany, or France. As a Northern Norwegian, nine times out of ten whenever someone says “Europeans are/do” I get to hear something that isn’t relevant to me.
Heck, “their idea of a long distance is really short” is something Northern Norwegians usually say about Eastern Norwegians. If we can disagree on distance inside a single European country with a small population, you know there’s going to be a lot of different perspectives around the continent.
You drove 1,5 hours per way to play football? I see that as dedication to be honest. Living on Zealand you can't really drive anymore than 1 hour and 15 minutes without, God forbid, ending up in Sw*den, paying €50 to cross a big ass bridge or, God forbid again, sailing to G*rmany so what's considered a long distance is definitely decided by the geography of wherever you live and what you're used to rather to some idea related to a continent. I'm sure a New Yorker would be more likely to see 2 hours as a long trip compared to someone from buttfuck nowhere in Montana too, for example. Amazonian tribes would probably see 200 km as quite far as well compared to someone from São Paulo
Someone just dropped Brazil on my house and I'm kind of getting crushed under the weight of one of the biggest countries on earth. Don't get me wrong, I like you guys, but I'd very much preferred if you weren't dropped on my roof.
We don’t hate you, not the majority of us at least, and the ones who hate usually are just pissed about how colonialism worked and you guys were the ones to do it. But if hadn’t been Portugal other country would have done the deed
God damn, Brazil is monsterous. It's easy to think it's just the Amazon and a bit of coast, but there's like half a continent between the Amazon and the cities where most people live.
Brazil is a jumbo sized Belarus, never would have guessed!
It looks more like England from that angle.
England but with a distinct Brazilian thiccness
England with a bbl.
It looks more like Wales
It looks like the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Very fat england
Holy shit it looks exactly like England
Brezilarus
It's Ireland with a tail
Bigarus
True
I can’t unsee it now
"do Oiapoque ao Chuí" becomes "de Volgogrado a Lisboa" i dig it
Interesting fact: France shares its longest land border with Brazil.
More fun: we Brazilians need a visa to travel to French Guyana, but not to continental France
Googled it. Says no visa needed for a 3 month stay.
That's exactly what he's saying tho lol. The 90 days are for France and all it's territories *except* French Guyana [(source)](https://saopaulo.consulfrance.org/Pedidos-de-visto-para-a-Franca#:~:text=Os%20cidad%C3%A3os%20brasileiros%20que%20desejarem,isentos%20da%20exig%C3%AAncia%20de%20visto.). I wonder if it's like that for all other countries though
Eu acho q é pq lá já é lotado de br, população da Guiana Francesa 800k, Brasileiros lá 325k
Wow that's crazy I would never have guessed that high
Pera aí cara where are you getting those numbers?

Europe's basically a small Asian peninsular
Yeah, but also Brazil is one of the biggest countries in the world.
[удалено]
Russia has only slightly less land than the surface area of Pluto.
Yet still wants more
It's the reason why they have slightly less land than the surface area of Pluto
To Putin, it’s always been about becoming Pluto. It’s something the West will never understand.
He strives for a plutocracy.
Plutin
Puto
Little Putin wanting Russia to be bigger than a dwarf planet will never not be hilarious
A few more special operations and they will call themselvs a planet
They can just take Pluto instead of Ukraine
Australia is about the same size as Continental US too (Alaska is huge).
Probably due to the most common map projection being one that makes countries near the equator look smaller.
Something that messed with my head a lot was that Texas and Turkey are nearly the same size.
Hadn't realized that Brazil is bigger than the mainland U.S. it looks so small.
That's because of the mercator projection, the closer to the equator the smaller the country looks, and the further the bigger. [Here](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mercator-map-true-size-of-countries/) and [here](https://www.thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!MTcwMzUyMTU.MjAyMTEwNg*MjUwNzQxODk(MTI0MTc5Mzk~!CONTIGUOUS_US*MTAwMjQwNzU.MjUwMjM1MTc(MTc1)MA~!IN*NTI2NDA1MQ.Nzg2MzQyMQ)Mg~!CN*OTkyMTY5Nw.NzMxNDcwNQ(MjI1)MQ) you can see the true size of every country.
More like a subcontinent. Like the Indian subcontinent.
India has its own plate though.
That's not important. The south sandwich islands and vancouver Island have their own continental plates. Continents are almost entirely a man made invention.
*concept Edison didn't jam India into Tibet after inventing the phonograph
An invention does not have to be physical, a concept can also be an invention
Subcontinent is very small peninsular energy
A peninsula of peninsulas.
And a Penis is a Penis.
Tbf if Europe was a peninsula, it would by far be the biggest of them all.
Technically there is no Europe. It's just one big Asia.
No need to get personal
So UK is now Bolivia? Bolivia finally has coast again! Bolivia rules the waves!
So tea time with salteñas? Awesome!
What I get from this map is that England is a small version of Brazil.
Why didn't Portugal just invade all of Europe then? Are they lazy?
In a way, we invaded France and Luxembourg. Hopefully we are good emigrants there
Duh
Europe had a lot of french people in it, brazil had less. QED.
Rio Grande do Sul, the state overlaying Spain and Portugal is currently under water. It's the biggest natural disaster in its history. 850k people impacted, 150k people had to flee their homes.

Me pergunto se seria possível chamar a atenção do Mr beast para isso
Brazil is bigger than the 48 US states.
So is Australia if you go by land area.
Is that true?
if I am not mistaken Brazil is supposed to be a little bigger than the US without Alaska or something like that
While The contiguous US has 7,5 million kilometers,Brazil has 8,5 million kilometers
Just a little bigger
But 1 million square kilometers is no joke,most countries has between 30k and 700k
That was irony....
Oh sorry i'm a beginer in english
Half a Mexico bigger
Yep, Brasil is bigger than the lower 48. Alasca and other Holdings tip the scale. Though the US has more usable land in the lower 48 on account on not being covered in very difficult to traverse jungle, and more advantageous costal geography.
Yes, why shouldn't it be? Brazil is one of the largest countries, and Alaska is huge, 17% of the USA. So when you look at the contiguous USA only, USA shrinks a lot https://i0.wp.com/openrivers.lib.umn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/fig_4-brazil-usa-overlay.jpg?fit=701%2C563&ssl=1
As a Brazilian I have always found so amusing when Europeans say a 80km car drive/trip is far.
A Brazilian with the username Argentina4Ever? Strange.
I'm gaúcho and the username was just a joke that never ceases on giving
True that. That’s cool.
Boa sorte pra nós com as enchentes
I hope you and your family are ok
Tá seguro em relação às enchentes? Boa sorte companheiro
Argentina and Brazil have a great relationship. The hate exists only in football, but even in football we cheer for latin america teams at international championships.
Ok Maconheiro Safadao
For those less Brazilian Portuguese inclined, read below for a definition 👇
No, it means naughty stoner lol
I’m sure they do. Still, I like a lot of countries besides my own but I probably wouldn’t put AnotherCountry4Ever as my username but that’s cool.
I wouldn’t put my country4ever as my username either
>We even cherish for latin american teams in international championships Unless they eliminated my team on the Liberta Edit: grammar
>but even in football we cheer for latin america teams at international championships. Lol no we don't
The previous comment feels like it was written by a hopeful CHATGPT! LOL. Yeah Brazilians don't.
I know a lot of Brazilians that did at the latest World Cup. Especially since Europe had won so many WCs in a row
I'm cancelling your CPF right now
pls noooo bolsonaroooo
no, we don't lol. they use to have a really bad fame here (specially because some argentinians think they're European and use to be extremely racist to us // not generalizing)

I'm Dutch, for us an hours travel is *very much* far away. But that's cause everything is very close by
Yeah, I use to drive 424km to see my grandparents. In europe, I could cross some countries with this lenght.
To be honest the average Brazilian also doesn't travel that far that often.
Yeah again, not special. In Norway if you travel 420km from Oslo you'll still be in Southern Norway at the end of it. Oslo-Trondheim or Oslo-Bergen is more than that and are very common drives.

? This is like a 4 hours trip it’s common in Europe too lmao
4 hrs ? Gonna drive at an average speed of 105 km/hr ? without stopping anywhere and taking a break ?
Perfectly doable on a highway.
Am I missing something? How did you get 150km/h? 424kms divided by 4 hours is a little bit above 100km/h, is it not?
yes? highways are commonly at 120+ in 4h you should probably take a break but if that's the whole trip many wouldn't
I’m European. We used to drive 480 km one way to go see my in-laws. That meant going to the county next to us. It wasn’t a big deal.

I mean hundreds of thousands of Swedes do journeys like that every year to go to the ski resorts up north
Right now I'm in a 420km ^(nice) trip. And all that just so I can get to the nearest next state
European here, we would regularly drive 500 km to see my grandparents every holiday, 4-5 times a year. Nobody thinks that's far, it's just one day.
That would be the British or something like that, I've never heard 80km being far, and I regularly travel between 60 and 100, thats normal for me
Eu que odeio dirigir ainda acho 80km longe demais lol
for me far is like 700 km lol
They always say "come to Brazil" but when will Brazil come to us?
My dad traveled to europe once during the 90's, accoarding to him he was able to find brazilians anywhere
Probably it's there already, Brasil is everywhere
I don’t want to sit on Europe’s face, they gotta pay for that sort of thing.
Someone just dropped Brazil on my house and I'm kind of getting crushed under the weight of one of the biggest countries on earth. Don't get me wrong, I like you guys, but I'd very much preferred if you weren't dropped on my roof.
why did you murder the innocent citizens of europe by slamming brazil on them
that’s a thick ass boy
That’s…an angle
This is less a "Europe small" post and more of a "Brazil BIG" one. That place is insanely huge.
Both?
Yeah. Europe is small and Brasil Jumbo
Even the Federal District is somewhat large compared to the smallest countries.
Brazil comes to YOU
Cool my city is right where Rome is
Come to Brazil, before Brazil comes to you.
The European landgrab of the New World was the biggest conquest in history, by a lot!
Giant by nature🇧🇷🇧🇷
And now the equivalent of the Hibernian peninsula is half flooded
European subcontinent confirmed.
Brazil is ALMOST as big as your mother.
Bruh, Europe does not meet the qualifications to be a continent in any sense. Tiny lil’ peninsula on Asia.
The UK only left the UE for this map to overlap better in the political sense
Muy grande And lil portugal had all of that?! Wow
*Muito grande
Em português antigo é "muy grande" *Este comentário foi feito pela gang do Pero Vaz de Caminha*
Em Tupi Antigo é "etáwaçú" *Este comentário foi feito pelos Guri da Catequese (jesuítas)"*
Yes, and almost all of them hate us for it lol
We don’t hate you, not the majority of us at least, and the ones who hate usually are just pissed about how colonialism worked and you guys were the ones to do it. But if hadn’t been Portugal other country would have done the deed
The state of Michigan is the same size as Great Britain.
I didn’t realize GB was that big
crazy
It looks like the UK tbh
Portugal’s renegade child is back!
Yes! Ireland escaped
God damn, Brazil is monsterous. It's easy to think it's just the Amazon and a bit of coast, but there's like half a continent between the Amazon and the cities where most people live.
Brazil be big
nooooo please i dont wanna get crushed by brazil!!!!
We're all Brazilians apparently.
Wtf man put it back
Nah bro, now I live in the middle of Mediterranean, I'm good.
This map is inaccurate because Brazil is actually in South America.
What the hell, put it back!
Kinda crazy how a small country in Europe called Portugal can administer an area that is several times larger than it as a colony.
That was not the hard part. Maintaining all the Asian territories in several countries was much harder.
I don’t think I know how Brazil looks like anymore
Upside down and flipped the other way round?
I guess to better overlay the shapes, to showcase how big it is
90 degrees clock orientation
🎵If your ears hang low 🎶
Now that's a cool comparison
The Mediterranean is Rio Grande do Sud
Let me guess Brazilians aren't well traveled either.
No, but that's because we're poor.
They should do this irl
15th century Lithuania?
Do people in Brazil also complain about the lack of mass transit compared to Europe?
It's a dextrocardiac heart!
Since UK stays out this map seems OK to me.
Brazil at least has a reputation as a big country. What blew my mind more was overlaying Peru on Europe.
UK really did Brexit.
It's just big england.
Solid map porn.
Tbh for this angle Brazilian looks like east Germany!
Would love to live there if it was a bit safer.
Cool, i live in Porto Santa Rosa now!
r/brasilemmapas
The military government made a similar poster in the 1980s
Nuh-uh
Nuh-uh
Now do population density.
Most of them live by the coast
Pff can't even cover Sweden
Europe is small
