| History: |
In 2049, the people, dissatisfied with the path that Brazil is taking, decided to cause a revolution to become independent. It started with peaceful protests, but after one of the protestants was accidentally killed by one of the policemen, a civil war broke out in the state. The protestants stood out of it, not only because of the number, but because of many policemen who decided to join the revolt. After taking over the government, Brazil grants independence to the state of Rio de Janeiro. |

This is just the tip of the iceberg, Rio de Janeiro also has the Tijuca National Park, its numerous beaches like Ipanema and Leblon, as well as the Selarón Staircase and even a marine museum called AquaRio. Leaving the tourist attractions, Rio de Janeiro has an immense network of oil production, which before becoming independent, held more than 70% of all oil production in Brazil. All of this comes from the Pre-Salt, which has been used for decades, and surprisingly it still has a lot to offer. |
