Can you approve City of the Beasts for Brazil, please.
The metadata says "Amazon rainforest" which is predominantly in Brazil.

Thanks!

It would probably work. Captain Ariosto is with the Brazilian Army. You may need to read it to determine the 50%.

What about The House of the Spirits - the country isn't specifically named but it's pretty clear what one it is meant to be.

Wiki
The story details the life of the Trueba family, spanning four generations, and tracing the post-colonial social and political upheavals of Chile – though the country's name, and the names of figures closely paralleling historical ones, such as "the President" or "the Poet", are never explicitly given.

If it is not identified anywhere as set in the country it does not work.
