“ The most beautiful part of Spain!”

~ Deco

“I love Portugal! Especially Samba and Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro

~ George W. Bush on Portugal

Portugal (Pronounced Poor-Chu-Gull), is situated in Spain. Portugal was founded before time began by goblins who named the province Sportugal after their love for snooker and F1. The Portuguese are known for being pioneers in world navigation, as brave Portuguese sailed far far way, establishing codfish trading posts in Africa, South America, India, Japan and Iceland (they only kept the Iceland one, because they didn't get any codfish from the rest). After a long day of sailing in the direction of Jamaica, where they planned to take over, steal all their marijuana and name it Portugal-"mon", a storm brewed and drifted them onto the South American shore. The Portuguese then decided to "fertilize" the land with their semen and kill any remaining Tarzan-like natives. This land had a mysterious power as all the Portuguese explorers felt "hot" for each other after being their for 30 minutes. The land was then named Brazil due to the herb Basil, which was known as the gay herb since the Portuguese dictator Jesus said so. Since then all gay Portuguese men, Blacks and Portuguese prostitutes have been banished to that land as a punishment. (Much like Britain and Australia). There are also rumors that there is trading post located in Pluto, where the explorer Vasco da Gama presented Codfish, a kind of fish very appreciated by everyone in Portugal, to Darth Vader. Vader enjoyed the gift so much, that he used the force to corrupt every single politician in Portugal and turned Eusébio to bronze statue. The current long-reigning ruler of the country is the Sith Lord Sócrates I.

The Portuguese have been believed to be the best soccer players of all time. Although this has been proven to be false, it is true that every Portuguese baby is injected with a magnetic soccer-ball-attracting magnet which can attract many modern soccer balls and other shit. The Portuguese are also famed for their ability to catch horses, an ability which has helped maintain the long inter-racial relationship with England, where horses have been extinct for a fucking long time.

Locale

Portugal is located in the Iberian Peninsula, sharing borders with the Atlantic Ocean and the Democratic Republic of Portugal also known as Spain.

The Capital of Portugal is said to be Lisbon (a.k.a London in Portuguese), a underwater cave renown for its chemical, mining and steel industries and hot lesbians.

Religion

A Portuguese man and a women preaching together to "Força Portugal"

Portugal's men and women are strongly convinced that Jesus was a Portuguese citizen. It's quite relevant to mention that it was in Portugal, Belem (it's Portuguese for Bethlehem), that Jesus Christ was born to Portuguese couple named Jose and Maria and he was then carried by a space ship to Palestine. As a good Portuguese, Jesus loved wine, fish, Nandos and cheating. He also lived in Nazaré (Nazareth) for a while. If not for the Portuguese, mankind would lose their Pirate Ninja Jesus.

Portugal has also a great religious belief in the "Tres Pastorinhos", three children that saw an U.F.O. It was later made public that the U.F.O. was in fact Virgin Mary. There is now a religious cult around this, that concentrates in the city of "Fátima". The great amounts of money generated by this fanatic cult were, of course, used in the benefit of the homeless and the poor. They were NOT used to build a multi-million religious temple complex

Because Football has become the national religion of the country, faith found in Portugal can be described as enthusiastic. Now and then you have adepts shouting at the rival team, throwing chairs at players and beer at the referee. All of this followed by choirs and Football chants, where everybody sings in harmony to share the gospel of God.

Natives

The inhabitants of Portugal originally came from the kingdom of Spain, where they have rejected Castilian Rule as opposed to their brethren, the Galicians, Aragonese and Catalonians. Today, because of their overseas diaspora, they can be seen in Madeira and the Azores Islands, fishing and whaling by the Atlantic ocean, where Sardines and Bacalhau have become their traditional dish, by excellence.

Please be aware: Portuguese people are the only people able to say that Portugal is the worse country in the world. Anyone else saying that will be severely insulted and will get "Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world, asshole!" speech.

History

Cave Art in Foz Coa - this cave painting represents ancient Portuguese with a mustache; the man with the larger mustache was probably the mustachedresser

Archaic Period

Finding evidences

Portugal's most ancient archaeological proof was found by the archaeologist Indiana Jones somewhere in India. He identified this proof as being a three-legged monkey with Benfica's t-shirt. Harrison Ford, however, claimed Indiana's theory was wrong, insisting that it was a two-legged monkey with a Porto t-shirt. These controversial theories ended near 2043, when President James Marshall assured to the archaeological community that no one gives a fuck about archaeology because it's 'mostly pots and shit anyways'. It is generally assumed that the common-held belief that Portugal was founded by intergalactic goblins is correct.

Ancient Way of Life

Codshield - codfish (bacalhau) became a deadly weapon invented by the portuguese

Ancient portugeese weren't too different from modern ones: men used mustache as soon as they were considered adult. The mustachedresser was called bigodeiro. They used codfish as a weapon. Os Lusíadas, an epic poem by Camões, sings about the Big Codfish War (yes, the poem was actually alive; ergo, it sang;), where Vasco da Gama discovers his ancestors in Neverland and fights against them for possession of the Codfish Mines in Norway. Camões describes fifteen kinds of weapons based on codfish. The most popular kind was undoubtedly the swordfish. Portuguese were also very prosperous people. Portuguese cities were the biggest in the world. Indiana Jones found the ruins of Fatima and concluded that it was bigger than Portugal itself.

Kings and such

Sorry, there have been no kings of Portugal. Portugal has been ruled by Socrates I for time immemorial since anyone can remember.

Trying to usurp the power

Mozart and Beethoven tried to rule Portugal during this period, but they never made it - King Eusebio just wouldn't let them. Wagner came with his gracious Valkyries trying to be king, but the best he could do was to build Portugal's first quality brothel. I got my first job there. Several statues from the latin-greek antiquity tried his luck, but they didn't know that Portuguese people were Latin- and lactose- and bronze- and statue-intolerant (the only intact statue in Portugal is King Eusebio's; all the others have at least a corrosive pigeon shitbomb).

Portugeese expansion

The portugeese people wanted for more peanuts to throw at Brazil and codfish. They constructed strong and fast ships and traveled all over the world! In one of their travels, they met Galileo, who taught them how to be killed by the Pope. Then they met Napoleon who taught how to be an Italian in France. As if it was not enough, they met Dante Alighieri, who taught them how to frighten by a Divine Comedy. These were quiet profitable learnings, and so the portugeese established secret colonies, which they disguised as codfish traders. There are also rumors that portugeese people were in Mozambique. Kofi Annan tried to steal info from the portugeese, but so far Mozambique is, still, a land to be found. But in all truth it wasn't until some Portugeese king or other married some bird from Lancaster (England) and had a lad called infant Henry did they really discover anything. Oh, and don't forget that Columbus was in fact the bastard half brother of the at the time king of Portugal. He wasn't born in Italy as many would make you believe, but in a little village called Cuba in the southern province of Alentejo.


The big move

Portugeese wanted to be closer to other civilizations. And so they started to separate Portugal from the mainland with a saw. The entire Portugal navigated through the Indic and Atlantic oceans, and finally they anchored near Iceland, a nice spot to catch more codfishes, and maybe the flu.

Modern Period

After they got tired from the cold, they colonized Iceland so that they could get codfish and went back to Iberia because they missed the sun. By then, they discovered that the codfish is Man's best friend after the dog. Some years later, FCPorto won the Champions League and got a lot of money by exporting José Mourinho, a.k.a. LisbonBlaster to the English as their don't want him in London! Porto invested that money to control the codfish trade and is using his profits to buy new players and prostitutes for referees.

This is a cartoon that illustrates what the portuguese favorite activities are. These are also favorite activities in many of the English-speaking countries whose citizens are reading this, but it's totally okay to just pin this on the Portuguese because they're foreign.

Latest years

Even after controlling a huge empire, they surrendered the last colony in 1999, keeping only Iceland, for codfish, the island of Madeira so that they could get free bananas, and the Azores for pineapples. Years later, they began investing in wind power. The Portugal hope to amass a cloud.

Once a cloud is caught it will be tethered above the Algarve to dissuade Britons from buying any more holiday homes.

It is also believed that a cloud permanently occupies the space above Durão Barroso's head, the cloud is set to a permanent storm mode, which gives him that (kinda) serious look.

Government and Politics

Following the collapse of King Salazar, preceded by the Triumvirate of Júlia Pinheiro, Floribella and Infante D. Henrique, which led to the Civil War, Portugal's system of government is now the bananocracy, from which the country earned its cognomen of "República das Bananas"(Banana's Republic - NOT the nightclub). The objective of the bananocracy is to maintain power for the maximum of time possible without promoting any significative changes(which would put in risk the bananocracy). To this effect, the party currently in power must use a varying number of tricks, including many symbolic measures, while dismissing all responsibilities for the inevitable failures, claiming them to be the fault of past governments, and occasionally, the Holy Spirit. This is sometimes referred to as the game of the "Batata Quente"(Hot Potato). Ejections in the executive are also much present, specially when the standard of living registers an important low. The standard of living in Portugal is measured by the smell of the olive oil on top of the codfish. When it presents a distinguishedly foul odor, the population gets depressed(also known as "ficar com os azeites") and begins having crisis of self-confidence. If the situation gets critical, the pharaoh may awaken from his sleep inside the Sarcophagus(located in Belém), and eject the government.

In Portugal, the power is exchanged between the two main parties: PS and PSD, who generally hold the office for 8 years each, before passing the testimony, an occasion of much rejoicing to everyone involved. During this event, the Portugeese demi-god Sebastião returns from Além Mar and magically resets everyone's memories, parting away again in the Nau Catrineta. The general population is unaware of this, and it is often rumored that one day Sebastião will emerge from the fog and return to Portugal permanently, to break the cycle and make all problems disappear instantaneously.

Politicians

  • Duke of Brangança, a King-wannabe of the Republic of Portugal and father of two children with huge
    OMG!
    unrememberable names, who actually are the gardener's kids.
  • The Demi-God Sebastian a king that left in one cloudy morning to buy milk and is yet to return.
  • Paulo Portas, the gay shown in the picture aside. He is told to have taken it up his ass by his Major when he was Minister of Defense.
  • Floribella, a Portugeese highly respected "singer", who forced Queen Júlia Pinheiro and Infante Don Henrique to withdraw their forces from the Great Portugeese Civil war, by torturing them with horrible childish songs until they submitted, being the first ruller of the Portugeese Republic.
  • José Pinto Coelho, some random neo-nazi from PNR, that is getting support from 14 year olds.
  • Alvaro Cunhal, The only portugeese male over 65 who didn't have a facelift, Also responsible for bringing down the birthrate due to being a baby-eating, homosexual communist.
  • Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the only guy in Portugal who knows how to pretend to read books.
  • Santana Lopes, a baby in an incubator who was Prime Minister for 4 months.
  • Salazar, Antonio Oliveira was one of the most powerful Kings of Portugal. After being born,Salazar overthrew whoever was in charge, and for some years, Portugal almost became one of the World's super-powers. Right now, people suspect he died like Christopher Reeve, but because of falling from a chair.

Portuguese Linguistic Cultural Heritage

Since the dawn of Portugal's foundation that their founder and people have used a number of curse words and insults that have lived trough out the ages and still are a part of their culturality.

This is how portuguese insult each other. Try saying them yourself, it is powerful fun.

“In deed...”

~ Oscar Wilde on portuguese curse words

Some of these words are used in Brazil too (but brazilian's accent is unintelligible in Portugal. Portuguese people assumes that brazilians will always tell a gay joke. So, they decided to not understand Brazilians... ).

Chinese influence

During the development of the Portuguese language many Chinese sailors traveled to Portugal. Or the Portuguese went to China, who gives a flang, anyway the resulting influences on the language have produced a sister-speak to Engrish called Poltuguese which includes such phrases as "Muito Obligado" or "Vai queler quelepe?" which eventually made its way into contemporary Portuguese. This can be heard on 318.283.945 Chinese Shops and restaurants in Portugal as they don't pay taxes to live in our beloved pile of crap that some call country.In fact there are so many Chinese people living within portuguese borders (including the sea meters) that the punch bag has long been utilized by the portuguese people, translating however to using Chinese people.

The Toilet Paper Heritage

Portuguese Linguistic Cultural Heritage contributed in a decisive way to the development of the well know mathematical theory of the Toilet Paper Paradox. Several Portuguese talkers, following the period of Portugition, in which Portuguese language, Portuguese import, Portuguese export and Portuguese laws were illegal, were obliged to secretly talk in Portuguese only at WC. The consequences were terrible; one of them was the Toilet Paper Crisis, closely related with the Toilet Paper Paradox. Following such paradox the Portuguese scientist Einstein (not the famous one, it's the half brother) created the general toilet paper relativity theory which allowed Portuguese fishermen to wrap codfish in the said toilet paper preserving them for generations to come.

The vocal "u"

Portuguese language uses only 2 vocals:

  • The unexplainable sound vocale, typed "a", "e", "i" and sometimes "o".
  • The u sound (like Kung Fu or doom), typed "u" and sometimes "o".

That means, for instance, that the word Portugal is pronounced like Poortoogahl.

In fact, Portuguese was the first language that use the "u" vocal. Thanks to this, several vocabulary innovations were possible. Here are some examples:

  • Cows could say mooo for the first time;
  • Mad cows could say wohooo for the very first time;
  • Powder exploded for the first time actually sounding like boom;
  • You didn't exist before.

Portuguese People and Demographics

The Portuguese population is mainly composed by Spaniards who auto entitle themselves of Portuguese. Ethnic minorities include, Brazilian hookers with fake Portuguese passports, Ukrainian bricklayers from Eastern Europe, Chinese people Made in China, African jigaboos from the African ex-colonies and crooked tooth English Tea-baggers.

A published report says the Portuguese population will be replaced by the proficuous Romania-born gypsy children, who beg on Portuguese cities' streets, skip school with their parents active support, wash car windscreens while creating huge traffic jams, steal wallets and wear many layers of dirty clothes - even in Portugal's hot summer. Most incredible are the matriarchal women (and very young girls) with hips as wide as they are tall. They wear shawls and dresses of wonderful reds, yellows, and blues - and will follow you like a bad smell nightmare in the streets begging for money. Adult gypsy males use to spent their time in prison or taking other people's property. All of them speak Romanian.

Portuguese Mythology

Ancient Period

Portugal has a rich patrimony of legend and folklore that arches back to the ancient magical kingdom of Lusitania, from where tales of rainbow colored Unicorns and big breasted , half-naked, blonde females, riding said Unicorns, allegedly had their origin and survive to this day. Much of the ancient myths were recorded in verse by Camões, in his film, The Lusiads, shortly after the invention of alphabetic writing. It is widely debated whether these legends already existed since the time of Paleolithic moustachedressers, or were the invention of Camões. Also, the question of whether Camões was smoking crack (or in place of crack, salt used to preserve codfish) subsists to this day. There is also the question of this one eyed poet being able to see anything at all, as legend tells it this man was a veritable Don Juan and had his eye poked out with his own pen by some annoyed husband.

Classical Period (Portuguese Expansion)

Adamastor, the legendary creature who took the life of many Portuguese explorers. He has now retired, and owns a restaurant in Costa da Caparica, known as "O Barbas" meaning "The bearded one".

Most of the characteristic folklore for which Portugal is known today, though, emanates from the expansion period, and the saga of explorers Vasco da Gama and Vale e Azevedo to find more codfish. This took them to the Norwegian Sea, where by accident they discovered Iceland, and were forced to fight an unequal war against the native Indians, led by arch-enemy Col. Kurtz, who were far more numerous. Despite being overwhelmed, they managed to steal huge quantities of codfish before being rescued by D. Sebastião in the Nau Catrineta. On the way home, they face a sea monster of gargantuan proportions, Adamastor(on the photo), who destroys Nau Catrineta with a simple movement of his hand. After the codfish reserves were spread out on the ocean, the monster got briefly distracted and Vasco da Gama escaped, by swimming backstroke style. It was thought then that only Vasco da Gama and D. Sebastião survived the disaster; Vale e Azevedo and the crew sank into the revolving seas. Shortly before reaching Portuguese shores, Vasco da Gama discovered Spain. Legend tells that, once he arrived, the population mistreated him and offered him a shitty service in the hostal he stayed in, so, in return, he made them all talk with extremely annoying accents, as to warn off visitors, and then founded the Spanish Inquisition, which wasn't really expected. Sebastião got back to Lisbon two years later after being booted out of London, but he didn't stay for long and sailed away in a cloudy morning to Além Mar to buy a milk - The Portuguese are still waiting for his return . Vale e Azevedo by dumb luck did survive leaping to shore on the backs of his sinking crew, on his way back home Vale e Azevedo came across the wreckage of Nau Catrineta which he improved into a famous yate that got him into jail... Later on, a Portuguese expedition lead by King Salazar would conquer Iceland, controlling much of the Codfish trade there, which was vital to Portuguese economy.

True facts about Portugal

It's true, you know...
  • Portugal was the first country to ever show a Death Metal version of Noddy's theme song on public television, played by Moonspell, a portuguese Death Metal band (with kids in the studio too).
  • The Madeira islands has had the same president since 1974. Everyone in Madeira who votes against this president loses his job.

PORTUGAL!
  • Portugal is one of the countries in Europe where there is most adverts between (and during) shows. Every 1 and a half hour movie is interrupted, while the best part is beginning, at least 3 times (in Titanic it's 5) by groups of 15 minutes, in cable channels, and 30 to 45 in national channels of adverts. Regardless of this, the radio station Commercial is one of the most listened to.
  • Portugal's magazine Sábado (sábado=saturday) comes out every Thursday.
  • Portugal show "Os Grandes Portugueses", where people could vote for who they believed to be the best Portuguese person of all time, was won by the only Portuguese Dictator of all time; Salazar (no relation to Founder of Hogwarts from Harry Potter ...we suppose [edit: Actually, JK Rowlings named Salazar Slytherin after this dictator]). Also, a parallel vote was made, called "Os Piores Portugueses"(The Worst Portuguese), in which People voted for the worst Portuguese...Salazar won this one as well.
  • Portugal has gone through 4 different Prime-Ministers in the past 5 years (Guterres, Barroso, Lopes and Socrates)
  • The Prime-Minister of Portugal has a degree in engineering, however a diploma in his possession says he passed (but the date on it is a Sunday), a diploma in the city hall says he flunked and was missing some classes altogether, and all the teachers who taught his classes in his days say they've never seen him before.
  • Fernando Negrão, candidate for Lisbon Mayor after failing to become London Mayor, had a campaign called "Clean Up The Town". One afternoon he walked around the city delivering brooms to all the women he could find.
  • If it weren't for some portuguese women in the mid 1870's (namely D. Catarina), that went in vacation to England, the British wouldn't have the habit of drinking tea, neither would the "Tea time" exist....

Yada Parada

The first Portuguese-American to come out of the "Portuguese-American" closet. See Yada Parada. Since "he" was already outside Portugal, "he" was spared of being expelled to Brazil.
