Iberian Confederacy (Portugal)
 * Government: Since Galicia has agreed to our offer, we are now a Confederacy with Portugal and Galicia as members - this means that each of them still has its own government, but still technically part of the same country. At local level, our king has started to promote the idea of Iberian unity, as our ultimate goal is to unite the peninsula either through diplomacy or war. People are also encouraged to join the military by portraying the Castillians as threat and offering them a little tax cut if they do so.
 * Military: The military is greatly increased and it will continue to do so in the following years due to the big threat that Castille poses to us. We also begin research of better armors and firearms, but this will take a couple years to complete.
 * 48,700 Infantry
 * 17,300 Bowmen
 * 9,500 Cavalry
 * 53 Cannons
 * 29 vessels
 * Wars:
 * War on Castille: Even though the Hispanian Caliphate has been abolished, the King still views Castille as a threat, their government has proven to be incompetent and uncapable of mantaining stability on their country, the formation (and fall) of the Caliphate is the living proof of this. So, he uses this as an excuse to continue the war against them. 10,000 troops are sent as reinforcements, making up a total of 50,000 men fighting in the war. Now that Salamanca and most important cities near the border have been captured, we start pushing further into the east in order to secure a line of defence in case of a counter-attack and to stabilize the front. Hopefully, Catalonia will help us attack from the east, and then we will be able to take on bigger cities.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Andalucia: We sign an alliance and trade pact although this doesn't means they'll intervene in our war against Castille.
 * Basque and Catalonia: I think we can all agree that Spain is too much of an unstable country to allow it to rule itself, so we believe that you should declare war on them as well, it's a chance for you two to expand anyway.
