It does not matter if it is a proper name. Proper names can be translated. Lots of U.S. States have Portuguese versions of their names, for example Florida, Flórida; Pennsylvania, Pensilvânia; New York, Nova Iorque and so on.

They should change their name to something else in my opinion, so they can get their own identity.

The issue of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul started in the past, in the first Republic of Brazil. The area, which today corresponds to the territory of these two states, used to be one, known as the province of Mato Grosso.

Anyway, the conflicts started with the oligarchies in the south of that territory, who fought for the land ownership and some other economic interests, which were closely linked to the state of São Paulo, due to geographical proximity, and its development. While the capital of Mato Grosso was well established to the north of the state, the people of the south did not feel represented by their authorities, governance or guidelines.

Thereby, many armed conflicts and political pressure took place over the years until, finally, the territory was splet into two, which occurred for other reasons that they did not necessarily involve the cause of the people of the south, but for reasons of national security and borders and foreign policy with neighboring countries.

As a result, we have a historic feud between the peoples of these two states. The names could even be different so as not to cause so much discomfort or embarrassment. However, I think that for both peoples, this is a matter of state pride (if we can call it that), which involves a sense of belonging and identity.

Regarding the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Rio Grande do Sul, although they have equal names, distinguished only by the cardinal point of the geographical location to which they are based, these two states do not share any individual or proximity history, not even by the "river" (Rio, in portuguese) that, supposedly, would have inspired their names.

In fact, they are states that are thousands of miles apart, with totally different cultures and histories.

I think the only bond and involvement they share is because of the national unity, which makes up the Federative Republic of Brazil.

Why are you accepting “Alagoa” for “Alagoas”? And you should change the quiz description. It’s Federal District, not Capital District.

No, it shouldn't. It's not any generic Federal District, It's one of the 27 federal units and it's name is the Distrito Federal.

Regardless of what answer shows up, it's pretty inconsistent with Jetpunk norms to not even accept Federal District. It's equivalent to insisting on République démocratique du Congo or RDC instead of Democratic Republic of the Congo or DRC on the Countries of the World quiz. I mean, the quiz is called 'States of Brazil' not 'Estados do Brasil', so clearly we're not deeply committed to only using exactly the terminology used by Brazilians. Pernambuco can't be readily translated to English, but Distrito Federal quite clearly can and should be in an English-language quiz. Otherwise, if we take this to its logical conclusion, we better get used to using 中国 instead of China on Jetpunk quizzes...
