the <a href="/wiki/National_Congress_of_Brazil" title="National Congress of Brazil">National Congress</a>. The creation of 18 new states and three new federal territories were officially proposed, which would bring the total number of <a href="/wiki/Federative_units_of_Brazil" title="Federative units of Brazil">federative units</a> to 48. The region with the largest number of federative units would be the <a href="/wiki/North_Region,_Brazil" title="North Region, Brazil">North region</a>, while the <a href="/wiki/South_Region,_Brazil" title="South Region, Brazil">South region</a> would be the only one with a new federative unit. The states with the most advanced stage of creation are Gurgueia and Maranhão do Sul both in the <a href="/wiki/Northeast_Region,_Brazil" title="Northeast Region, Brazil">Northeast region</a>. </p><p>With a view to organizing and accelerating the debate and procedures in Congress, the Parliamentary Front on the Creation of New States and Territories was installed in 2003, on the initiative of federal deputies Ronaldo Dimas (<a href="/wiki/Brazilian_Social_Democracy_Party" title="Brazilian Social Democracy Party">PSDB</a> -TO) and Sebastião Madeira (PSDB- MA). According to the proposal, this would be a mechanism to conduct the country's territorial division as a way of reducing socioeconomic inequalities and favoring the development of regions least assisted by the Public Power. The idea is to follow the successful example of the state of <a href="/wiki/Tocantins" title="Tocantins">Tocantins</a>.  Projects in the North region were also submitted to the Amazon, National Integration and Regional Development Commission (CAINDR). If the projects are approved in Congress, the next step is to conduct a plebiscite among the residents of each state, with the coordination of the <a href="/wiki/Superior_Electoral_Court" title="Superior Electoral Court">Superior Electoral Court</a>. If approved at the polls, the proposal is forwarded to the <a href="/wiki/Pal%C3%A1cio_do_Planalto" title="Palácio do Planalto">Palácio do Planalto</a>, so that the <a href="/wiki/President_of_Brazil" title="President of Brazil">President of the Republic</a> can send a complementary bill to Congress proposing the creation of the new unit. </p><p>The arguments unfavorable to the creation of new units focus on high costs,  and, according to the artifice, they have political motivations. Tocantins, for example, cost the national coffers around R$1.2 billion. If all new units are approved, the total cost could reach R$20 billion. Expenses are generated by the installation of a seat of government, a legislative assembly, state secretariats, among others. In addition to the installation cost, it also creates an annual expense between salaries and costs that reaches R$30 million for each new state. Senators from each unit would also have an additional cost of R $150,000 in annual salaries alone. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Proposed_federative_units_of_Brazil&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Colonial_period">Colonial period</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Proposed_federative_units_of_Brazil&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Colonial period"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Brazil_in_1822.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Brazil_in_1822.svg/220px-Brazil_in_1822.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="226" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Brazil_in_1822.svg/330px-Brazil_in_1822.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Brazil_in_1822.svg/440px-Brazil_in_1822.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="2008" data-file-height="2065" /></a><figcaption>Provinces of the <a href="/wiki/Empire_of_Brazil" title="Empire of Brazil">Empire of Brazil</a> in 1822 .</figcaption></figure> <p>The concept of creating new federation units is not new in Brazilian history.

Ponta Porã and Iguaçu return to their original condition after the war, while the remaining four are maintained ( <i>Rio Branco</i> is renamed Roraima and Guaporé is named Rondônia in honor of Marshal Rondon ). </p><p>In 1960, a quadrangular territory was separated from the state of Goiás, on the border with the state of Minas Gerais, to house the country's new capital, Brasília, which was based in the new Federal District . Simultaneously, the territory of the former Federal District was transformed into the state of Guanabara, comprising only the city of Rio de Janeiro and its rural area. In 1975, the state of Guanabara was incorporated into the state of Rio de Janeiro and the city of Rio de Janeiro became its capital. In 1977, the southern portion of Mato Grosso was emancipated as the new state of Mato Grosso do Sul with the city of Campo Grande as its capital . In 1978, proposition PLP-194 of the Chamber of Deputies foresees the creation of the state of <i>Santa Cruz</i> , separated from the territories of Minas Gerais and Bahia. The following year the proposal was rejected by the board of directors and archived.  On December 22, 1981, the state of Rondônia was created and installed on January 4, 1982, with the city of Porto Velho as its capital . Rondônia was the only state where there was no election for governor in 1982, when, after 16 years, Brazilian voters returned to electing their state governors by direct vote (in the years 1970, 1974 and 1978, state governors were elected by the Legislative Assemblies of the respective states). </p><p>The 1988 Constitution left the division structure as it is today. Despite maintaining the legal definition of Federal Territories, it ended those existing until then, elevating Roraima and Amapá to the status of states and integrating Fernando de Noronha into the state of Pernambuco .

The author sees not in the creation, but in the merger of states, relief from administrative problems. In his doctoral thesis, he suggests that Amazonas and Roraima, Pará and Amapá, Goiás and Tocantins, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, Maranhão and Piauí, Bahia and Sergipe, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo and — for what he calls "Pernambuco recovery" — Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas, while Acre and Rondônia — in addition to a portion of Amazonas — would become federal territories. </p><p>Martin points out that the partition of Pernambuco resulted in its decline. Whenever an uprising arose, the Crown fragmented the unit, generating a mosaic of barely viable territories. Regrouping the units into a single body would certainly boost their projection within the national framework and would even reduce government spending — given that there would now only be one Executive and one Legislative branch —. A similar thing would happen with the other states. </p><p>It is also worth remembering that none of the new states emerged according to popular desires.
