His majesty wishes to try and base our navy off our oldest ally's navy, the British Navy we will try to model our navy on. But our main goal from this program is increase Protugals naval capabilites and this will enable us to make a stronger empire and expand our borders like our ancestors did in the medieval era.

~Pedro V, King of Portugal and the Algarves

The Portuguese Empire will atempt to create an active Role-Play environment centered around the reign of Pedro V of Portugal and the 1850s. The Role-Play will be completely closed off and we shall not entertain the idea of RPing with another nation. Too many factors come into play and people end up getting spread too thin.

The current RP scenario is set in mid 1856, 2 years into the Reign of the young King Pedro V. The Liberal wars ended 20 years ago and the Kingdom has begun to move on. The new constitutional monarchy is stronger than ever and the Portuguese people have great faith in their young King.

The Portuguese Empire is not what it once was. With the lose of Brazil and other areas, Portugal's colonial ambitions seem to have stagnated. While the colonial governments in Angola and Mozambeque move inland and establish new settlements, British dominance of India threatens Portugese Goa.

As the African continent comes more into play, Portugal has somewhat of an advantage having already establish colonies and infastructure there. As the European powers scramble to stake their claim, Portugal must decide if it can contend on the world stage like it did so many years ago.
