Brazil is formed by the union of 27 federative units—26 states and the Federal District, which contains the capital city, Brasília. Of these, seven states; São Paulo , Rio de Janeiro , Minas Gerais , Rio Grande do Sul , Paraná , Bahia and Santa Catarina ; with the Federal District, constitute almost 80% of the national economy.
Every region of Brazil has significantly increased its Human Development Index in the span of two decades, with no federative unit under low human development by 2010. South, Southeast and Central-West are the most advanced regions, while the North and Northeast still presented states with a medium human development.
Brazil is made up of five geographic regions (North, Northeast, Southeast, South and central-West) that comprise 27 federative units and, for their part include 5570 municipalities. In total, the municipalities are distributed in 510 immediate geographic regions, which in turn are grouped into 133 intermediate geographic regions.
