## Population density

Singapore is 340 times more densely populated than Brazil — 8,500 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, Singapore on the left.
- Different currencies: the Brazilian real and the Singapore dollar.
- 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.

## Singapore

A city-state on one main island plus about sixty smaller ones, and it has grown roughly a quarter since 1965 by reclaiming land from the sea. The port is one of the busiest in the world by tonnage. Changi Airport's Jewel holds a 40 m indoor waterfall, the tallest of its kind.
