Brazil

Climate:

Brazil's climate is largely tropical. There are occasional droughts in the northeast and flooding in the south, according to the CIA Factbook.

Topography:

8,514,877 sq km (CIA Factbook, 2010).

Located in Latin America, Brazil is mostly flat with rolling plains, although it has some hilly areas as well as tropical jungles (CIA Factbook, 2010).

Infrastructure, joint ventures, justification:

Although hard-hit by the economic crisis, Brazil's agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service industries have allowed it to enjoy great prosperity, in comparison to its neighbors.

Currently, its exports in coffee, soybeans, wheat, rice, corn, sugarcane, cocoa, citrus and beef are rebounding (CIA Factbook, 2010). However, concerns about sustainability and a drive to eat more locally may threaten these agricultural exports in the future, making joint ventures with Brazil an uncertain prospect. The possible exception is coffee. Coffee is a necessary export for most of the world, and has become an 'affordable luxury' even when times are hard.

Canada

Climate:

Infrastructure, joint ventures, justification:

Canada boasts a highly-educated and sophisticated labor force. NAFTA's facilitation of trade with the U.S. created an economic boom, and today Canada is the U.S.'s largest supplier of oil and gas as well as uranium and electricity (CIA Factbook, 2010). Canada's hardiness as an economy speaks well of its ability to engage in joint ventures with U.S. firms. Additionally, remaining friendly with a Westernized oil-exporting nation is valuable. Canada also has several agricultural industries, such as maple syrup manufacturing, that are now difficult to pursue in the northern U.S. due to global warming, but are flourishing in Canada's colder climate......
