João Salame, a state lawmaker in the northern Brazilian state of Pará, has an unusual pitch for his constituents: Let's split our state into three. Voters will get their say in a widely watched state referendum on Sunday. Pará is bigger than California and Texas combined—a vast state of Amazon rainforest, cattle ranches and mines that is as lawless as America's Old West in many parts.
