Brazil was also independent after Portuguese royalty moved in and declared it a kingdom. It's still considered colony.

By your logic even the USA is still a british colony.

I meant it was still considered a colony at the time, when it had non-brazilian rulers but was practically independent from Portugal. I hope you know Brazil hasn't been a colony for around 200 years.
