The '''Brazil socio-geographic division''' is a slightly different division than the [[Regions of Brazil|Brazilian Division by Regions]]. It separates the country into three different and distinctive regions:
*[[Amazônia Legal]]
*[[Centro-Sul]]
*[[Nordeste (Socio-Geographic Division)|Nordeste]]
This does not separate the country by borders of states. The north of [[Minas Gerais]], for example, is in the socio-geographic division of Nordeste, but its [[south]]ern part is in Centro-Sul.
In the economic, social, historical, cultural, ethnical and geological point of view, this division is much better than the division by Regions. However, it is not very used, mainly because it is unofficial; all official information by IBGE is listed by the criteria of regions. The division by Socio-Geographic similarities is used mainly in universities and private companies, and it is little mentioned at regular school (grades 6-10).
