The Empire of Brazil was a 19th-century state that broadly comprised the territories which form modern Brazil and (until 1828) Uruguay. Its government was a representative parliamentary constitutional monarchy under the rule of Emperors Dom Pedro I and his son Dom Pedro II.

Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories" linked them). The South American country was at first named Ilha de Vera Cruz (''Island of the True Cross'') and later Terra de Santa Cruz (''Land of the Holy Cross'') by the Portuguese navigators who arrived there.
