First Portuguese Republic (Flaming Spaghetti Monster) - After many years of corruption, political inestability and subjugation to British's interest, the Portuguese Monarchy has deteriorated and the people is tired of it. Inspired by the revolution in Spain, a revolution in October 1st occurs, the rebels quickly take control of Lisbon as the already weakened monarchy is unable to stop them. After the defeat of the monarchy, the First Portuguese Republic is proclaimed with Teófilo Braga as provisional president, a new flag and anthem are adopted. The Royal Family is unable to escape and they are arrested by the new republican authorities. The new republican goverment orders the recruitment of 35,000 troops to defend the country from possible attacks. A non-agression pact is signed with Spain, it lasts for 5 years.
