History
Early History (May 5th 2022- May 17th 2022)
The Creation of Ceuta
Ceuta is considered the very first Portuguese town in Terra Aurora. During the Great Walk to Europe, moments after the server opened, SpartaFragge managed to raise some gold, enough for a city with a few extra chunks. It was decided to create Ceuta first than any other town in the Iberian Peninsula in order to alleviate tensions under the possible invasion of the region by other foreign nations.
The Lisbon Crisis
While a considerable amount of gold was being obtained for the formation of Lisbon, a group of players that would later found Norway, anticipated for a mere second and created the Portuguese capital. The Portuguese forces also ended up creating a city in the region (currently Leiria) and to the north in Porto. This was a shock to Portugal and therefore an understanding was reached where Portugal would give about 400g in exchange for the town along with the promise that they would not create a town in Portuguese territory again.
With a large part of the gold mined, it only took 2 days to collect the rest and so the deal went ahead.
The Foundation of Portugal (May 17th 2022- July 5th 2022)
The piggy bank for the nation
It was from the May 5th onwards that the focus for the next few days was decided: It was the time to create Portugal. So, several Portuguese citizens offered to mine gold for this purpose and after almost 2 weeks of great effort, on May 17, Portugal was fulfilled, along with the first modest version of the national shop.
The Mapart misunderstanding
Like any other nation that demonstrates rapid economic growth, there is always room for misunderstanding, and Portugal was no exception.
After the creation of Portugal, there was an unimaginable success in terms of sales at the national shop, more specifically with Maparts. These were initially bought in other nations and resold in Portugal in order to establish something like a Hub for most Maparts in one single place.
However, other players with the former leaders of Greenland and Ukraine were dissatisfied and considered such an affront to artists as the act of reselling. It was around that time that reports of griefing, alting and even scamming by Portuguese players began to appear, something that has never been proven. They even started an embargo against Portugal, such an act that after mere days most of the nations allegedly involved officially announced both their departure from the embargo and the denial of ever having joined it.
Portugal always struggled to alleviate tensions between the countries involved, with special care with Greenland and Ukraine, which months later would also withdraw from the embargo they founded against Portugal.
