Many is Costa Dourado feel inferior to the states of Porto Azul and (Georgetown state) and value their own cultural identity and values. The Portugal Government has said that they will offer their assistance to both sides as it feels connected to the cultural identity of Costa Dourado and the nation of Shmakalaka itself. Should the movement gain more support, Portugal will mediate between the 2 sides to find a soloution.
