Side by side

Population density

Austria is 4.4 times more densely populated than Brazil — 110 against 25 people per km². Density is where area and population interact, and it often reverses the impression the headline figures give — a large country with a small population can feel emptier than a small crowded one by an enormous margin.

Practical differences

• Different currencies: the Euro and the Brazilian real.
• Brazil spans 4 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
• Different continents — Europe and South America.

Austria

The Alps cover roughly sixty percent of the country and around forty percent of it is forest. The Eisriesenwelt near Werfen is the largest ice cave in the world, with about 42 km of passage. Grossglockner reaches 3,798 m.

Brazil

The fifth-largest country in the world and the largest in the southern hemisphere. It holds about sixty percent of the Amazon rainforest, and the Amazon River discharges roughly a fifth of all the fresh water that reaches the world's oceans — more than the next seven rivers combined. Brazil borders every South American country except Chile and Ecuador.

Neutral facts only. Nothing here addresses politics, government, economics or which country is preferable in any respect — population is the one figure that dates, and it carries its year.
