Answer: Brasilia

BRAZIL can be found on the northwest coast of South America, and also in the sentence "In algeBRA, ZILlion is represented by an underlined Z." The similar sounding Brasilia is its capital.

This sounds like a nightmare but instead of street addresses in Brasilia, buildings are identified by their "quadras", that is the city block they are on, and then the specific building's letter. On the other hand, maybe on a more organized level, they tend to group similar types of buildings together. For instance hospitals are grouped together in one sector. Same with big department stores like Walmart. Brasilia is located close to the geographical center of Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world.
