peer agreement (net): -1Brasilia Explanation: I think your readers would appreciate you being very specific. "and Brasilia has been working on a tender project" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2009-04-16 17:02:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Brasilia se localiza en el Distrito Federal, el cual tiene las mismas fronteras que la ciudad. El Distrito Federal se encuentra rodeado por el estado brasileño de Goiás, excepto por una corta frontera que comparte con Minas Gerais. (Wikipedia) |

(Brazilian) Federal District Explanation: Where Brasília, the capital, is located. But be careful as there are other cities around Brasilia that are also within the Federal District, which functions like any of the other 27 states. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2009-04-16 17:08:19 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Anyway, the previous answers were correct. Federal District is how it is called. To replace it for Brasília would definitely be wrong. |
