Note that the country name is "Brazil" in English, "Brasil" in Spanish and 
Portuguese (and presumably others as well). Brasilia is the capital city.

That being said, Brazil is a huge country. On the 6,400-mile air trip from 
Miami to São Paulo, well over half the trip is flown already inside 
Brazilian territory. It covers a significant chunk of South America. But 
for simplicity, I believe they only use two time zones: GMT-03 and GMT-04.
