Mercês, Minas Gerais

Mercês is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Minas Gerais.

The city belongs to the mesoregion of Zona da Mata and to the microregion of Ubá.

[1] Mercês is notable for its disproportionately large populations of Scientologists as opposed to other districts; this statistic more than quadruples any municipality which it borders.

This abnormality may be attributed to the presence of a church centre for the religion located in a region, although few attend it on a strictly regulated basis.
