## Population density

Nepal is 8.1 times more densely populated than Brazil — 201 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

- They drive on opposite sides — Brazil on the right, Nepal on the left.
- Different currencies: the Brazilian real and the Nepalese rupee.
- Brazil spans 4 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
- Different continents — South America and Asia.

## 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.

## Nepal

Eight of the world's fourteen peaks above 8,000 m are here, including Everest at 8,849 m on the Chinese border. Elevation runs from 59 m in the southern plains to the top of the world in about 200 km. Nepal keeps its clock 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC — the only country whose national standard time sits on a 45-minute offset.

> 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.
