Portuguese Political Setup

[p][/p][p]In 1836, Portugal finds herself at the end of one conflict, and the height of another. The victory of the liberals in the aptly-named Liberal Wars of 1828-1834 has opened the way for another conflict between the factions of the victors. The Cartist Party, represented by the Petit-Bourgeoisie and the Armed Forces, stands for a modernising oligarchic liberalism under the Constitutional Charter of 1826, whilst their progressive opponents desire Portugal’s modernisation to be carried out under a democratically-promulgated Constitution.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/dc8fb17af8053fe0d37cc2cd27cbd1af6eb1f973.png"][/img][/p][p]At the start of the game, Portugal has two unique ideologies, Cartist and Miguelist. They refer to two political conflicts that characterise Portugal at the start of the game – the first to the political conflict that characterised the reign of Maria II, and the second to the aftermath of the still-recent Liberal Wars. [/p][p][/p][p]The Cartists represent the more conservative side of the Portuguese liberal consensus. They are defined by support of the Portuguese Constitutional Charter of 1826, a document granted by King Pedro IV. This document is the law of the land in 1836, and is bitterly opposed by the more progressive liberals. The controversial nature of the Charter arose both from its origin as an imposed constitution issued by royal authority, and the oligarchic “devourist” political system that it fostered. The Cartist ideology replaces the Meritocratic ideology for the Portuguese Petit-Bourgeoisie, and advocates for an oligarchic political system and strong, centralised state.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/9b3f4f2ff15d08dd9e688d0115f955a1c45b7015.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]The Miguelist ideology, meanwhile, represents the losing side of the Liberal Wars of 1834. It supports the claim of the deposed King Miguel I, advocating for a traditional monarchy and the reversal of the liberal reforms of Pedro IV and Maria II. Miguelism may be considered similar to Spanish Carlism or French Legitimism, though it was historically unable to launch any major uprisings following its 1834 defeat.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/1887aa7138696a6ea88f9add519dc0f90230e688.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Portugal begins the game with a set of somewhat liberal laws, an antiquated taxation system, and more institutions than her bureaucracy can support.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/5b4c8f484ce405d12e43629e4345d90cc27e4768.png"][/img][/p][p]Her Oligarchy law has both the Electoral Clientelism amendment discussed in Dev Diary #165, and the Chamber of Gentlemen Deputies, an Amendment which represents the elected chamber of the Portuguese Cortes Geraes. This Amendment gives Portugal a small franchise, political parties, and elections from the start of the game.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/68afd06d8a9711b3d9a670cedb8e7a75a63061f5.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]

The Reign of the Devourers

[p][/p][p]The Portuguese political regime of 1834-1836 was not a popular one. The efforts of successive Cartist governments to balance Portugal’s crippling debt and budget deficit through the sale of public and church lands gained this period the moniker of “Devorismo”, referring to the perceived devouring of the Portuguese nation by corrupt politicians. It is, indeed, the case that this period was characterised by grotesque corruption. The sales of public and church lands, more often than not, led to the concentration of land in the hands of liberal oligarchs, with minimal actual state revenue to show for it.[/p][p][/p][p]The policies of this period are represented by the Reign of the Devourers Journal Entry. For as long as this Journal Entry is active, Portugal will be forced to privatise state-owned buildings, and suffer decreased legitimacy and a burden upon her treasury.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/43bd8e61fba4ab0e4ac292253a2a8147dd5f6ad5.png"][/img][/p][p]This Journal Entry has four possible outcomes, representing various permutations of Cartist and Constitutionalist victories. It will end in a Cartist victory if the government either manages to pay back Portugal’s debt, or remains in power whilst privatising a sufficient number of buildings. The first outcome is the most favourable for the Cartists, and will grant loyalists and bonuses for either the ruling government or the public treasury.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/8ec867d80d92807015354a9f094547df300136e5.png"][/img][/p][p]On the other hand, the Constitutionalist side may triumph by either popular revolt, or enacting a non-Oligarchy voting law and electing a legitimate government with no Cartists. If the government falls to a liberal revolution, the progressive opposition may be instantly swept into power, a Constitution enacted, and the head of the Cartists sent into exile. [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/30f95197eb157cf110f41163f92e28a440e69ae7.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]If the revolutionary outcome occurs, for the remainder of Maria II’s reign, the name of the Liberal Party will change to reflect the month in which the revolution occurred.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/b95d6c7adb40f38685a5361ca05cf67e7573381e.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]

Second Liberalism

[p][/p][p]In addition to the Reign of the Devourers, Portugal starts the game with the Second Liberalism Journal Entry. Whilst the Reign of the Devourers is designed to quickly end with a tone-setting victory for one side, Second Liberalism will typically linger for some time. This Journal Entry serves as a framing device for the period of constitutional monarchy that lasted from the end of the Liberal Wars in 1834 to the declaration of the Portuguese Republic in 1910.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/be7575d85f6be00e77a72e1777b1f5f65a4052aa.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]This Journal Entry has three possible outcomes, representing a victory for the constitutional monarchists, the Republicans, and the Miguelists. To earn a victory as the constitutionalists, one must overcome Portugal’s bureaucratic woes by establishing a bureaucracy surplus and completing the Regeneration, retain a voting law, avoid coups or revolutions, and marginalise the Miguelists.[/p][p] [img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/b5067176c408878975a0db551df9e8831caca21a.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]One may also achieve the historical outcome, in which foreign policy failures, increasing mismanagement, and overreach by the Portuguese monarchy led to the fall of the monarchy and the establishment of a Republic.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/0be7f22b7e6b3fcefeea828f4f9d42f255806b3b.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]

Our Fortunate Regeneration

[p][/p][p]The idea of “Regeneration” held sway over Portuguese liberalism over much of the nineteenth century. In the eyes of “Regeneradors” like Fontes Pereira de Melo, the Regeneration referred to a political regime which would stabilise Portuguese politics, modernise the country, and lay the foundation for future economic development. Its name derives from the 1820 political manifesto of Manuel Borges Carneiro, one of the leaders of the Portuguese Revolution of 1820 and a leading politician of the “First Liberalism” from 1820 to 1823. In this manifesto, Carneiro presented a vision of a Portugal that was meritocratic, virtuous, transparent, and governed lawfully by a constitutional King and Cortes.[/p][p][/p][p]An interesting component of the political mindset of the Regeneration period was the notion of politics as reducible to transportation. This notion is essentially an adaptation of Carneiro’s proposed mode of reform to the era of the railway. To quote chapter IX of his Regenerated Portugal:[/p][p][/p][p]“The great work of our regeneration must proceed with regularity and peace. It is not possible to suddenly set in place the springs of a machine that has become entirely disordered. Nevertheless, your virtues, your civilisation, your generosity – of which you have given an unprecedented example in the history of the world – fully assure us that everything will be hastened through your cooperation with the Government, and that the spirit of frenzy which brought so much blood and so many tears to France will not find its way into Portugal.[/p][p][/p][p]Forget past oppression. Be steadfast in establishing new institutions. Let moderation in all things remain your guiding principle. We know that the civil liberty which was stolen from us is not to be confused with licence, audacity, or insubordination to laws and authorities.”[/p][p][/p][p]The Our Fortunate Regeneration Journal Entry will be activated once Portugal researches Nationalism, has a legitimate government composed of liberal interest groups, and has not had a revolution or coup for ten years. Upon its activation, all of the Regeneration sub-Journal Entries will be added along with it.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/73855c748f7201a841c599442484d781649ef469.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/db210b093cfa2090e7ab66e04c9e890e922aa14e.png"][/img][/p][p]When this Journal Entry is added, the Petit-Bourgeoisie will gain the Regenerator ideology, which will orient it towards Protectionism and Interventionism, and against child labour and slavery.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/e77400dd76a95badb46532714c7d6f7ccb192610.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Portugal’s Regeneration may be contrasted with Spain’s. Whilst Spain’s Regeneration is largely focused around economic development, Portugal’s is focused around the development of solid institutions, a strong and centralised state, and public works programmes. To represent this difference, the Portuguese Regeneration has no option to utilise creative accounting, and will remain until it is either completed or Portugal either defaults on her debt, or falls to a coup or revolution. Additionally, Portugal is expected to retain a budget surplus for at least half of the time that the Regeneration is active.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/2a83f9285f9ca281bc68cae016ee15a770eb7b8b.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The three pillars of Regeneration are transportation, modernization of the countryside, and state institutions. To complete these tasks, one must construct railways throughout the country, ensure access to the market, research technologies crucial to communications and agricultural mechanisation, enact more advanced production methods, and strengthen the bureaucracy and education system.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/d75d1d99e23ccc40e4236d684b3e8e0812f34d7a.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]As one completes these portions of the Regeneration, one will receive events showcasing the progress that one has made. [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/02702d71bf82e1e380ea0866a21d7bdb572fe7a9.png"][/img][/p][p]A successful Regeneration is largely its own reward. Nonetheless, successfully completing the Regeneration grants increased investor confidence, and strong bonuses to the popularity of those who made it possible. [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/c61a1f0ae4feae022e68d8fb8b4ac19d4512acad.png"][/img][/p]

African Ambitions

[p][/p][p]Portugal is one of the world’s oldest colonising powers. The Portuguese Empire was the first truly global empire, and also the longest-lasting, historically spanning from 1415 to 1999. Most notable for our period was her colonisation of Angola and Mozambique. Whilst Portuguese presence in these areas had been continuous from the early sixteenth century onwards, it was in the nineteenth century that the formerly small coastal settlements expanded into vast territories that spanned multiple millions of square kilometres. The colonisation of Africa for the purpose of plantation agriculture was a priority of the Portuguese government from the late-nineteenth century onwards, with chartered companies such as the Mozambique Company established for this purpose. [/p][p][/p][p]Once Portugal finishes colonising any state in Angola or Mozambique, she will receive the Além-mar Africano Journal Entry, which will grant claims on the remainder of these territories.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/99eea2f6d8c5d72effa9e583c10e8e100f87a891.png"][/img][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/ddb09ee0547a5564e18f9c6b541752d1c6723c80.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Once one completes the colonisation of Angola and Mozambique, one will be able to lay claim to the land between it with the Pink Map decision.[/p][p][/p][p]Historically, Portugal’s attempt to realise this project in 1890 was hampered by Britain rejecting her claims to the Zambezi Basin, leading to a diplomatic crisis that reduced Portugal’s stature on the world stage. This diplomatic humiliation was one of the conditions that set the stage for the fall of the Portuguese monarchy twenty years later.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/803506231c0cc624ea0e0575a8116e7d44211d94.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]The Pink Map decision sends an event to Great Britain, requesting Britain recognise Portugal’s claims to the land between Angola and Mozambique. As Britain, one may either allow Portugal to proceed, charge a fee for doing so, or refuse Portugal’s request. As Portugal, if Britain declines one’s offer, one may proceed regardless, at the cost of tremendously decreasing one’s relations with Britain.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/712ba4328b9f09135ee058b7da14c5658feedb66.png"][/img][/p][p]The Pink Map Journal Entry requires one to successfully colonise all of the land between Angola and Mozambique, realising the historical “Pink Map”.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/3e9e0e6ef46561acfd159ba314814c6f281e5604.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Pictured: The minimum requirements to complete this Journal Entry.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/edf425c8230bd9038dabdfcf097b2bd39fd0b67c.png"][/img][/p][p]Successfully realising this ambition will lead to Portugal gaining both domestic and international acclaim, as well as rewarding the ruler’s Interest Group.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/02702d71bf82e1e380ea0866a21d7bdb572fe7a9.png"][/img][/p]

Lusofonia

[p][/p][p]The independence of Brazil is even more recent than the independence of Spain’s American colonies. Brazil was briefly in personal union with Portugal in 1826, and post-independence relations between Portugal and Brazil were, comparatively, much better than those between Spain and her former colonies. The opportunity is thus rife for strengthening economic, diplomatic, and cultural bonds between the two countries.[/p][p][/p][p]If Portugal declares an interest in Brazil, and establishes positive relations, she will receive the Old Empire Journal Entry. [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/5586e3cf4a4b1d35e391e2fb3f1d1bf3874a2766.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]This Journal Entry enables two unique interactions. The first is available if one owns Colossus of the South, and enables a strong Portugal to assist Brazil in preventing a coup against Emperor Pedro II, at the cost of Pedro’s popularity. The second allows a Portugal that has caught up with Brazil to seek a restoration of the United Kingdom between the two countries.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/39c4da76e4735152215c571d9d294f521b1a83d2.png"][/img][/p][p]On October 30, 1835, the Brazilian General Assembly promulgated a law which stated that Queen Maria II had forfeited her place in the Brazilian line of succession. This law formally split the House of Bragança into Brazilian and Portuguese branches. Such a succession was a pressing concern at the time - were Pedro II to die at a young age, Maria II of Portugal would have succeeded to the Brazilian throne, restoring the personal union between the two countries. Under the terms of this law, Princess Januária Maria would become the designated heir, until the Emperor was able to produce an heir of his own.[/p][p][/p][p]It is not particularly plausible that this law would have been revoked. The Brazilian political establishment would see this as a breach of Brazil’s sovereignty, and the historical balance of power between the two nations was such that Brazil really had no reason to care about what Portugal thought about anything. Nonetheless, for the United Kingdom to be restored, it must be revoked - and, so, the premise of this Journal Entry reveals itself.[/p][p][/p][p]For Portugal to pursue the United Kingdom, she must first eclipse Brazil in both Prestige and GDP. Once she has done so, one may choose to Pursue Reunification, and so activate the United Kingdom Journal Entry.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/e151ccd2d8190ba0975b1d927c29e759f6672903.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Whilst this Journal Entry is active, Portugal will have access to a new Treaty Article, which requests Brazil amend her succession law to permit Portuguese candidates to succeed to her throne.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/b76658a765d967e1f3aaffa6ab3f2a74a81ee49d.png"][/img][/p][p]If Brazil accepts a treaty with this article, the sitting monarch of Portugal will become the heir of Brazil. At this point, any male heir produced by Pedro II would be ahead of the monarch of Portugal in the order of succession. However, Pedro II did not historically produce any surviving male heirs, and so we can safely assume that the Portuguese monarch may keep their place.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/57aa9596fda1cde983e504d21cf39ab57010bc79.png"][/img][/p][p]Once the King \[or Queen] of Portugal becomes the heir of Brazil, one must wait for Pedro II to die or abdicate. As a Republican coup is a serious threat to their ability to succeed to the throne, this Journal Entry will also keep Portugal informed as to the situation in Brazil. If the succession is threatened, one may use the Support Emperor Pedro interaction in the Old Empire Journal Entry to tilt the balance back in one’s favour.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/e193468ba5ea479a1caf5e59990c8f2a5db8f7e9.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Once Pedro dies or abdicates, the ruler of Portugal will succeed to the Brazilian throne, and the personal union between the two countries will be restored. Past this point, one simply needs to hold onto it.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/75bf8a79e0bb2ded87dc0187c03473a73ff0a8fa.png"][/img]In the previous dev diary, we showed a screenshot featuring a Portuguese power bloc named “Quinto Império”, or “Fifth Empire”. In that case, it was simply what I chose to name my Cultural Commonwealth to show off the Spread Primary Culture interaction. The “Quinto Império” refers to the messianic concept of a universal “Fifth Empire”, most famous for its appearance in Fernando Pessoa’s Mensagem. In Pessoa’s poem, the first four Empires \[those established in the “past”] are Greece, Rome, Christianity, and the amalgamated empires of Europe. The Fifth Empire, the one yet to be established, would be a spiritually Portuguese universal empire headed by the resurrected King Sebastian of Portugal.[/p][p][/p][p]It is somewhat arrogant to proclaim oneself as the Fifth Empire, in the absence of a resurrected King Sebastian. Nonetheless, if one manages to restore the Union with Brazil, one may be inclined to refer to one’s empire in those terms.[/p][p][/p]

The Iberian Union

[p][/p][p]As pan-national sentiment arose in Italy, Germany, and the Balkans, so too did it come to Iberia. Whilst Pan-Iberism was never as prominent as the aforementioned movements, one may point to several prominent advocates both within the state and out. In 1870, deputies of the Provisional Government with Pan-Iberian sentiments rallied around electing King Luís I of Portugal as King of Spain, a post that Luís rejected. His father, Fernando II, would similarly reject their offer. This option, favoured by the Petit-Bourgeoisie, is portrayed in the Glorious Revolution Journal Entry shown in Dev Diary #165. These deputies represented the “dynastic” wing of Pan-Iberism, wishing to establish a shared royal dynasty and customs union between Portugal and Spain.[/p][p][/p][p]On the Republican side, both Francesc Pi i Margall and Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla were supporters of Pan-Iberism, the first advocating for a federal union, and the latter for a unitary state. In 1885, Zorrilla predicted republican revolution in Spain and Portugal, followed shortly by their unification into a single republic. Though this prediction was somewhat detached from reality, it is useful for understanding the mentality of the Pan-Iberian republicans. In many cases, nineteenth-century Spanish and Portuguese republicanism retained the messianic outlook that had long been displaced by particularist nationalism amongst the more developed European republican movements. As late as the 1890s, Spanish republican exiles commonly made use of the French republican calendar, debated electoralism, abstentionism, and anti-electoralism, and considered revolution as a matter of fact.[/p][p][/p][p]Nonetheless, this was not to last. When a lasting republican revolution did make its way to Iberia, sweeping away the Braganças in 1910 and the Borbóns in 1931, no particular attempt was made to unify the Portuguese and Spanish Republics. As is so typical throughout history, the realities of state power swiftly drowned the aspirations of a movement that had hitherto held none.[/p][p][/p][p]Pan-Iberist attitudes were also common amongst communists and syndicalists throughout Iberia. Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, Spanish and Portuguese syndicalist organisations sought to establish an Iberian Syndicalist Confederation, a project that was stymied by the harsh repressions of the Spanish and Portuguese dictatorships of the 1920s. In 1927, this project was revived in the form of the Iberian Anarchist Federation \[FAI], which aimed to unify Portuguese and Spanish anarchist organisations. The FAI was originally proposed to be headquartered in Portugal. However, this proposal was declined by the Portuguese anarchists themselves, citing the larger number of Spanish militants within the organisation. Though Portuguese anarchists would have little further role in the development of the organisation, and the FAI would always remain overwhelmingly Spanish, its goal of pan-Iberian – and international – revolution remained.[/p][p][/p][p]When the first Iberian country researches Pan-Nationalism, she will receive an event that allows her to pursue the ambition of unifying the peninsula. If any country accepts this ambition, all Iberian countries will receive a follow-up event, offering the chance to either express interest in the project or remain separate. If only one country expresses interest in the Iberian project, unification may only be realised through conquest. [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/b6a7403ea35f801b4fcb5691e99a7779aabb63c4.png"][/img][/p][p]Every Iberian country that expresses broad interest in unification will become Involved in the Iberian Union Journal Entry. Broad interest, however, does not imply immediate interest. In order for these countries to properly unify, they must be in a stable position, and share a certain number of laws.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/85f1bf1846eaa2f150dd50ea20f91318427803e3.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]The “Establish Real Union” button may be pressed once all Iberian countries have sufficiently synchronised their laws, and possess good relations with one another. Shared Governance Principles are essential – a monarchist Portugal will never be able to diplomatically unify with anarchist Spain.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/c0f355feea17c526adac1fd6cc12223744fdee15.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]But, one might ask, what if we do the unthinkable, and play as something other than a constitutional monarchy?[/p][p][/p][p]And not an absolute monarchy, either.[/p][p][/p][p]But what would that entail?[/p][p][/p][p]The community demands the real movement.[/p][p][/p][p]But you just said-[/p][p][/p][p]The real movement.[/p][p][/p][p]Oh, fine.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/fe139cad9df014e1b6cbafd6216a07618a524afc.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]The button which allows for diplomatic unification has different variants depending on one’s Governance Principles, with two theocracies instead signing a Concordat, or two anarchist territories coming to consider themselves as shared units within a Confederation.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to the prior button, the communist and anarchist iterations of this Journal Entry permits for the creation of a new culture for the Federation-to-be. If the date is after 1890 \[the historical invention of the Esperanto language], one is playing as a Council Republic, and one has either Cultural Exclusion or Multiculturalism, one may recognise the Esperanto language as an official language of the Federation.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/d8d99ba019b8bfe0072b3589563f6895f3e8fcbd.png"][/img][/p][p]Depending on the choice one makes in this event, one will either gain the new Iberian culture, or instate the Iberian culture as the exclusive primary culture of Iberia. In this case, we have opted for the latter.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/80a70628340542974718ef5442ab72c2e7d2b958.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Upon forming Iberia, a certain portion of one’s pops will adopt the Iberian culture. The Iberian culture has the Iberian heritage trait, and the Esperanto language trait, with Esperanto being placed within the Romance language trait group.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/5aaec278c702376cf30fe4c202ce5063064430be.png"][/img][/p][p]As a finishing touch, if one chooses to make the Iberian culture the exclusive primary culture of the Federation, all of the states and cities in Iberia will adopt Esperanto names.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/35468088422a12dece69b375e4e4a34642a18543.png"][/img][/p][p]We have also added many new flags and map colours for Iberia. If one unifies Iberia as a liberal republic, one will be able to choose between three possible flags in her unification event.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/66c8bcb57cd2edfcd98304c49179db20a6d8af0d.png"][/img][/p][p]We have also been inspired by Paradox Tinto’s extremely visionary flag system. If one forms monarchist Iberia, one’s flag will change depending on one’s ruling dynasty, with custom inescutcheons for every royal family in the Glorious Revolution Journal Entry.[/p][p][/p][p]Pictured: The flags of Iberia ruled by House Bragança, Hohenzollern, and Espartero, respectively.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40579353/6e81f1a55e33af2f78adc996be35738dce3e094d.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]And that is all. Thank you for reading. Next Monday, we will cover the remainder of Update 1.12 and Iberian Twilight’s narrative content, as well as the changes we have made to the map. Then, also next week, on Thursday we visit the art team for a tour through the art of Iberian Twilight.[/p][p] [/p]
