Would you visit Brazil’s most murderous city: São João do Jaguaribe, Ceará?

That's clearly a town. Seems comfy too
William Perry
Looks kind of small, more like a town to me. Why is it so dangerous?
Jonathan Peterson
where is the line between town and city?
Lucas Young
Idk cities are bigger
James Cooper
We don’t differentiate between cities and towns
As to why it’s violent: gunslingers shooting down local corrupt politicians
Camden Morris
>We don’t differentiate between cities and towns
but why?
Brayden Thomas
the urban center of every municipality is called "cidade" no matter its size. So if it has a mayor it is a city
Benjamin Campbell
we just don’t use that geopolitical division
City = urban area with mayor and local legislature, regardless of size. Inside cities you can have districts, villages etc.
Colton Collins
So if I buy a farm in Brazil and invite a bunch of hot big butt light skinned Brazilian sluts to live with me for free and declare myself their mayor can I legally write a law forcing them to let me fuck and impregnate them

...why...?
Aiden Martin
yeah here where I live if there's a smaller urban settlement in a district we call it "povoado", it's the closest to the concept of town I think
Sebastian Baker
it's probably one of those isolated towns where people enforce the law by themselves and shit is decided by who can shoot faster.
There's a lot of these kinds of towns near the border
Ryder Ortiz
no, you need state and federal laws creating your municipality
Grayson Walker
because this is how it's written in the constitution, simple as
Jonathan Butler
stop doing it.
William Fisher
you what
Chase Gomez
i mean, how do you stop narcos from just taking over then
Christian Bell
Yes
My intention is to die. I may end up in a rekt thread on Any Forums.
Josiah Phillips
Because of the republic
Before we had hamlet (Aldeia) and then villages (Vilas) for them to be a city (Cidade)

No. Creating a new city requires a state law to be passed and a federal law allowing it. We don't have such a federal law at the moment which is why no cities can be created right now.
And if you were to create a city, you'd have to respect the federal constitution, dummy. Local legislations can only make laws about local issues, such as administrative law. It can't create civil/criminal codes. ;)
Eli Sanchez
why would they take them over? population in these towns are in the hundreds and they're situated in the middle of nowhere.
we suffer
Christian Sanchez
In some countries it's official (e.g. the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Thailand, and some US states), in others it's just cities are bigger colloquially
In the UK people are very anal about whether something is officially a city or not. But in e.g. Australia I imagine not so.
Ryan Bennett
Officially we only have municipalities
The terms municipality and city are often used interchangeably here
A municipality does not exactly coincide with a city, because city comprises only the urban area of a municipality, but the municipality itself can also have a rural area, in fact most do
Christian Perry
I know
t. can name about 500 municipalities in Brazil
Brazil also has officially defined "metropolitan areas" - which are pretty normal for most states but Alagoas and Paraiba literally give that status to all their major towns.
