The '''Riograndense Republic'''; (Portuguese: ''República Riograndense''); is a country located on the southern cone of South America. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Brazil to the north, Paraguay to the west and Carolina to the south and southwest. The country is divided into five states and a federal district where the capital, Rio Grande, is located. The Riograndense Republic, differently from its other Portuguese speaking neighbors, has a culture molded by the junction of Iberian cultures along Italian, Slav and German influences. Geographically, the nation can be divided in two regions, the flat pampas in the south, with hot summer and mild winter, and the hilly north with its mild summer and cold winters. The riograndense economy is composed of varied sectors, with agriculture and meat production being its most prominent, but also can be cited tourism and industrial activities.
