That's a pretty low bar to set, isn't it? "Come to Brazil! It's not currently a military dictatorship."
Brazil is far from being the best country in the world, but it is still better than average, I dare say. It is big and varied enough for you to find a niche of your liking. (Unless you crave for skiing, kangaroos, salt flats, bears, cranberry sauce, volcanoes, sandstorms, yetis, tornadoes, edelweisses, or earthquakes; you will have trouble finding those here.) Quite a few Americans and Europeans who come here love it enough to stay.
