    "The nine states of the Nordeste descend 7.5 degrees of latitude within about 2 degrees of longitude, so the coast is a near-vertical chain that needs four grid rows. Alagoas and Sergipe therefore sit level with the central plateau, several degrees south of where they are.",
    "The Distrito Federal gets a cell beside Goias rather than inside it. It is an enclave, so no grid can hold it, and adjacency is kept instead.",
    "Mato Grosso do Sul borders five states and reaches two of them. Placed to keep Sao Paulo and Parana, which are the borders that carry traffic; Goias, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso end up one cell away.",
    "Roraima and Amapa are drawn side by side along the top. Para separates them on the ground, and it is the cell directly below both."
