Well... the Portuguese people discovered the NEW WORLD a.k.a. America, then they got owned by the English people and started sulking for a shitload of time until they were considered a third world country because of stupid dictator named Salazar (that later commited suicide), then there was another dictator named Lenine or something, that got owned by some reason, then 25 april was a revolution, then we became a republic where the government owns the people every time they get a chance.
In 1998 we had a kind of huge exposition about the sea or something, we also hosted the World Cup awhile back where we lost miserably (of course).
And yes, we do have an army, since military service was a "duty" of all portuguese citizens, everyone went, but now it's not obligatory anymore so they pay people huge amounts of money just to see if they can maintain a fairly good army.
I used to go to my city's army headquarters do [random stuff] and they're the best soldiers I ever seen, always drunk, talking shit and ditching duty!
So Portugal is an awesome country... or not.
