a)Brazil is one of the largest country in the world.

b)Brazil is one of World's largest country.

You say Brazil is ONE OF. So it would HAVE to be plural - i.e. ONE OF THE LARGEST COUNTRIES.
So:

a)Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world.

b)Brazil is one of the world's largest countries.

Will that work?
