The most up-to-date data for Brazil is maintained by IPEA, in the geobr dataset. We wrapped this dataset in GeoArtifacts.jl under the `GeoBR` submodule. You can use the package to download the data.

The data comes as geopackage files if I remember correctly. There are several packages in Julia to load the file. GeoArtifacts.jl itself will load the data for you, but you can use other lower-level packages as well. After the data is loaded, it should be easy to provide the information VegaLite.jl needs.
