Brazil is a federal presidential constitutional republic located in South America. Portuguese is the official language and Brazilians follow a flexible time schedule, especially in large cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo where traffic can cause delays. Business communication involves shaking hands with men and air kissing women upon introduction and exchanging business cards. Dark suits are preferred for men in business meetings while women often wear trouser suits. Toasts in Brazil begin with "Saude" and VIPs are greeted at the start of presentations as a sign of respect.
