Kingdom of Portugal
 * Government:
 * Assimilation of the Castillians: We continue with the assimilation plan by inserting Portuguese culture and customs in Castillian cities, while slowly removing their old traditions and culture. We also continue to force children to learn Portuguese.
 * Protection of the border: Because the king is paranoid a bunch of forts are being built in the newly acquired border with France in the north in order to at least be somewhat prepared in case of an invasion.
 * Securing the Regime: Seeing the volatile situation in the rest of the continent, the King decides to create a contigency plan and to push a series of policies to preserve the regime and prevent rebellions. Basically, the police is funded more than before and used to secretly assasinate opposition leaders. An spy network is also founded, although it hasn't been sent outside of the country and is rather used to discover conspiracies within the country.
 * 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.
 * 51,900 Infantry
 * 20,150 Bowmen
 * 13,050 Cavalry
 * 64 cannons
 * 33 vessels
 * Wars:
 * War against Castille:
 * Iberian front: It's been four years since the war began and it now seems like we can finally claim victory. In August, Madrid falls alonh with what remains of the Spanish Crown. The remaining lands are occupied by the three invading forces (Portugal, Andalucia and Catalonia) and the Spanish royal family is either executed or incarcerated (although some had managed to leave the country). Because war has ended, the number of troops present in Castillian territory is reduced to 30,000, as thew focus has shift to northern Africa.
 * Canary front: Since we apparently forgot about the Canary Islands we send a force of 4,000 to conquer them, to prevent them from falling in hands of the Moors (north Africans) or some other European opportunist. This is easily done in a few weeks.
 * War against Morocco: The war between Morocco and Algeria has left them vulnerable so we decide to take advantage of this for the sake of expanding our Empire and we send a total of 40,000 men to land in the Western coast of the country. Since they are too bussy with the Algerians and they did not expect our attack, we should be able to make easy advances for now.
 * Economy: The end of the war with Spain allowed the economy to recuperate a bit, but it won't be in a good shape until we're done with the Moroccans.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Finland: We're sorry but we're sort of isolationist and our King is paranoid about non-Iberians so we'll have to deny you access to our ports.
 * Diplomatic mission to Cyprus: Although we were initially supossed to send troops to the Cypriot border as a buffer between TEA and IL, we decided to cancel the mission due to the two alliances being disbanded.
