The Portuguese Union is a Socialist Representative Democracy, with many government sponsered amenities with annual elections. The Congress is the national governing power. There is one representative for each district, and each district is limited to one million people. The nation is part of the region of Europe. The capital city of the nation is Lisbon(Λισβoα)


The nation is divided into Municipalities, Regions, and Districts. Each district has one million people and are usually redefined anually to meet the one million population requirement. Each district elects one representative for Congress. The regions are groups of Portuguese speaking districts which control regional government spending. There are 7 regions in The Portuguese Union: Norte(Noρτε), Centro(Κεvτρo), Lisboa e Vale do Tejo(Λισβoα ε Bαλε δo Tειo), Alentejo(אלנתע), Algarve(אלגארב), Açores(Aκoρες), and Madeira(מאדרא). There are also Municipalities, which are limited to one Metropolis, and are also split into Districts and act in the same way that Regions do. The Municipalities of the nation are Madrid(מאדרד)(Spanish Speaking), Barcelona(בארצלענא)(Catalan Speaking), Roma(רעמא)(Italian Speaking), Paris(Παρις)(French Speaking), London(Λovδov)(English Speaking), and Berlin(Bερλιv)(German Speaking).


The northern half of the country uses the Greek alphabet, while the southern half of the country uses the Hebrew alphabet. Both of these are modified versions which are adapted to be convenient to the languages to which they serve.


The Portuguese Union has invested the majority of it's money into Public Transportation. There is an Underground system in every town, city, and metropolis. Since cars are banned in cities, these systems are extremely elaborate and reach every part of every town. There is an underground system of service roads and emergency exits one level below street level. Those however are restricted for those purposes only.


The nation is also an extremely large and fast growing economic centre. The Escudo is valued very high versus the Euro at €1=§0,83.


Presidential elections occur annually every 22 July. The current President is Jake Ryder of Lisbon. A President may be elected as many as 10 times.
