ok do you know where the mapmaker is from
umm i think he was from spain or something latino
Do you know about the relations between his country and brazil?
no
Why don't you dig into that and come back, because that is a source of bias
ok
In November 2012, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff met with President of Spain Mariano Rajoy. President Rajoy said: "Brazil is a modern-day world power and Spain is more committed to Brazil than ever". He also said, "Brazil is the leading destination for Spanish investment in Latin America and the second anywhere in the world. With almost 55 billion euros of accumulated investment, Brazil accounts for almost half of our investment in Latin America."[2] The Brazilian community in Spain consists of more than 150,000 citizens.[ thats what i found
ok so evidently they have good relations right?
yes
can you find anything in the maps that may show this?
there are no political boundries?
no there are
