Blank Map of Brazil with States
Brazil is a federation of states, with one federal district. How many states does Brazil have? There are 26 states. They are traditionally separated into regions, however these are geographical and not political regions. There are 5 regions: Northern, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast, and Southern. These regions are defined by law, but are used specifically for statistical purposes, and for the distribution of funds from the government. The governing itself, of each state, is an individual matter. While Brazilian states are autonomous, they do not hold the same power as the United States of America for example. Ultimate decisions are made through a federal congress.
