Host country for the 2016 Summer Olympics (6)

I believe the answer is:

brazil

(Other definitions for brazil that I've seen before include "Five-time winners of football's World Cup" , "Rio's country" , "that may be shelled" , "Red wood; nut; country" , "Type of nut" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
