Socotra (Parallel Brazil)

Socotra (in  Arabic سقطرة , Suqutrah ), officialy Insular Territory of Socotra (Portuguese: Território Insular de Socotra) is a small  archipelago which consists of four islands in the Indian Ocean, facing the coast of the Horn of Africa, 250 km east from Cape Guardafui and a 380 km southeast from the coast of Yemen .

The island of Socotra comprises about 95% of the landmass of the archipelago. It is approximately 240 km east of the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometers south of the Arabian Peninsula. The island is very isolated and a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on the planet. It was described as "the weirdest place of appearance on Earth."

As a Insular Territory of Brazil, Socotra has similar government to other federative units. Its capital is the city of Calansia.
