"Lungs of the Planets" new idea.

If you take a look at the international news featuring negotiations between Brazil and the G7, you're gonna see that one of the major requests asked to the South American country is to preserve the rainforest. So, basically, Brazil is somewhat using its nature as a way to levarege its influence on the global politics. I think this should be represented in the game. The current state of Brazil's LT is too generic and its EQ is essentially a Farmers Quarter on steroids. I think Brazil's LT should concern preservation of its forests and wilderness in general and it should earn diplomatic favor/levarage from it.

On the other hand, if you're planning to launch an expasion addressing global warming, I do believe Brazil's LT should be completaly tailored to this new game mechanics, and probably it would also present some diplomatic levarage, but also something that would impact on how the climate and the preservation of the species impact on the peoples.

Kind regards from São Paulo, Brazil.
