In the most western point of Western Europe lies a nation that has influenced the world in a way few others ever have. This nation started the Age of Discovery, and then sent history’s best explorers across the world to map it all out. This nation has the 6th most widely spoken language in the world. Today this storied nation has survived city shattering earthquakes, greedy kings, and many selfish autocrats; but has made itself into one of the world’s most advanced and safe countries on earth. This is Portugal.
