Although officially recognized, the division is merely academic, considering geographic, social and economic factors, among others, and has no political effects other than orientating Federal-level government programs.<ref>[https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-five-regions-of-brazil.html The Five Regions Of Brazil], from worldatlas.com</ref> Under the state level, they are further divided into [[Intermediate and Immediate Geographic Regions|intermediate]] regions and even further into [[microregions of Brazil|immediate]] regions.<ref>{{Cite medRxiv |last=Costa |first=Guilherme S. |last2=Cota |first2=Wesley |last3=Ferreira |first3=Silvio C. |date=2020-05-13 |title=Metapopulation modeling of COVID-19 advancing into the countryside: an analysis of mitigation strategies for Brazil |language=en |medrxiv=10.1101/2020.05.06.20093492v2}}</ref>
