So if Brazil only have three divisions, where do the relegated teams go? Pub football?!

That's the difference I mentioned earlier from FM to reality...

There is no relegation in 3rd Division. Teams are also not oblied to play it, which causes an yearly based change in the number of participants.

There are a few teams who are chosen, based on their last State Championship position, that receive some financial support (air tickets and hotels paid by CBF), but not even those are oblied to participate.

A team from Rio Grande do Sul (my state) decided not to play this year's Third, because they were upgrading their stadium, despite being one of those financially helped ones.

Just for the record: usually the promoted teams are not those who receive the financial support.

UPDATE
FM2005

clubs managed, Univ. Las Palmas(spain), Uniao Barbarense and Vila Nova (GO) both in Brazil

2010.

State Championship: finnished 5th winning 5 of 11, knocked out in quater finnal by another 3rd div team

Cup: It sucks a*se, knocked out in the first round on pens to another 3rd div team.

League: finnished top of my group winning 10 of 14 which as unexpected as board wanted safe mid table. won 2nd,3rd and 4th round ties and qualified for the final league 3rd Div champoins winning 5 drawing 1 . The win came at a price sold a few good players for profit then went and strenghted the squad, payed out big buck for an attacking mid to fit my system and it payed off he got 3rd div.player of the season.

2011

board and fans expect me to fight bravely against relegation from div 2. and I've got 2 million R$ to buy a new squad (thats 400K)

All I can say is i'm glad to be out of the maddness of Div 3 for at least 1 season.

Yeah, the real life system would be almost impossible to implement in FM.

CBF also uses some kind of states ranking (kind of like the European coefficients ranking) to determinate which states will have more teams in the Brazilian Third Division and in the brazilian Cup (which is also played in a format slighlty different format in real life, for similar reasons).
