Roraima

Roraima, located in the North Region of Brazil, is the country's northernmost and most isolated state, bordered by Venezuela and Guyana. It is renowned for its vast natural landscapes and low population density. Boa Vista, the capital, is uniquely positioned as the only Brazilian capital entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. Historically, the region's strategic location along the Branco River attracted Portuguese settlers and European invaders. Today, Roraima is a vital entry point for Venezuelan refugees, with a significant portion of its population comprising displaced individuals. The state's economy, though small, is growing, primarily driven by the tertiary sector.
