Brazil
When referring to the sovereign nation, the word is a proper noun and is always capitalized. It functions as a unique entity, meaning it does not have a plural form in standard geographical contexts.
In the context of "brazil wood" or "brazil nuts," the word acts as an attributive noun or modifier. While the nuts themselves are countable, the term "brazil" in these phrases describes the origin or type and does not change form.
