The Tradition demands that we make a quick introduction about ourselves... what we stand for and what we believe.
Several centuries have passed and Portugal is now a regular country that in many aspects can't tell us apart from other countries...
But there are some things that our country holds for eternity, no other can have that memories, once the largest empire in the world, we gave a new meaning for the word
Globalization, known all over the world, the time of conquering and expanding is finished, but new areas of expansion are rising. Football is a well known area that the common sense can withstand the might of our country,nice beachs and natural landscapes,beautiful women... However that's not the only thing we are good at, in fact we can be the best at anything if we put our minds into...In this specific case, Enemy Territory, we hope to keep improving our performance in International events and most important of all to make our country proud, and never forgetting the concept of fun, letting the world know that a new form of empire can be formed here and now...

And Spain was always bigger than Portugal. ;-p
Portugal is the oldest country in all of Europe with its borders untouched so show some respect. If it makes you happy that Spain is in a better economic status than Portugal, I can also name a lot more countries who are better economically than Spain or even your little province of England named Ireland ;)
Portugal ga suki desu demo Nihon ga ichiban desho!! ;)

Portugal = dark blue
Spain = red
1. it was a portuguese that discovered america aka cristovão colombo..
2. look this map http://educahistoria.com/cms/images/stories/janapo/PERSOHIS/TratadoTordALCA.jpg
( tratado de tordossilhas ), when the world was divided in half between spain and portuguese.
3. and the image u are showing is all about the colonies around the world..well, now tell me. after 1957 i bet portugal had much more land than spain coz we were the only country that didnt give the liberty to the colonies after the war..
so dont show some random map, random year, coz there are years when one has more land than another, and years that we are equal and years that both are shit. gg thx
2- The map is the greatest extend of both empires.
3- Portuguese empire to it's greatest extend : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Portugal_Empire.jpg
Still not half of the known world... don't blame me if you got screwed. Thankfuly you guys were good at fishing.
2. The 'World' was divided up? I guess this 'World' you speak of refers to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Spanish_Empire.png. Shows the two empires at their greatest, hardly half the World is it?
3. See #2.
we were the first nation to "discover" the world,a big part of it.When
nobody knew how to do it, even the most advanced countries like England or France.
We had a lot and you can't deny it, we just lost everything thanks to our economics, the british and the french were more organised and got stronger.
About the fishing, if we have so low amounts of fish in our coast why the spanish etc came to fish in our place? And yes our economy its bad because the old government didnt manage it properly and so what? Go throw some rocks over the Catholics, isnt your main hobbie there? have fun
The Pope from that time, don't know his name, divided the world up in 2. 1 part was for Portugal, and 1 part was for Spain. The treaties off Tordesilla and Saragossa, that's how the whole thing was named.
Now, both Portugal and Spain received a lot off land but they didn't actually own it since they never colonized even the half of what they received.
For example in XVI century spain already had conquest central and south america with pizzaro, cortez and others conquerors..
