Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro ("January River") is a city located in southern Brazil,founded in 1565.

The city gained notable prominence in the war between the Global Defense Initiative and Brotherhood of Nod in 2034, when forces loyal to a reeling but still very much alive Kane sparked a massive rebellion of the populace against the GDI government and local Nod warlords in the area. This explosive struggle would be later known as the Rio Insurrection and serve as the proving ground of a brilliant Nod Commander.
