Portugal

Faction Overview	/Strategic Overview/	/History/
Portugal have the power of Resolve.
By far the largest nation in all of Europe in terms of size, the united kingdomof Poland and Lithuania are a multiethnic and ecumenical joining of several people all across Central Europe and the Ruthenian lands — unsurprisingly, this vast reach of the Polish commonwealth has brought great wealth and prestige to the empire
But like most empires, Poland too has many rivals, and a few mortal foes.
Ever since the tragic disaster at Legnica, Poland has remained forever at war with the Tartars, who dwell upon the lands of what was once the Russian state of Kiev and continue to prey on Polish lands just as how theirformer Mongol masters once did. Equally troublesome are the Russians, who only just a century ago had been all but annihilated by the Mongols. Now, the Tartars continue their depredations, even as Russian strength grows unchecked, spearheaded by the princes of Moscow. Yet, the biggest enemy of Poland could well not be from without, but rather from within.
