Portugal: Nov 1, 1941 Portugal remains officially neutral in World War II but is a key player due to its strategic location and colonies. The Azores, in particular, are a vital refueling station for Allied convoys in the Atlantic. Though leaning slightly toward the Allies, Portugal under Salazar's regime skillfully navigates the pressures from both Axis and Allied powers. The country is a hub of espionage, with both sides vying for influence and control over its territories. The MTC operates discreetly, taking advantage of Portugal's neutrality to run covert tech experiments. While the war has not directly touched Portugal's mainland, its colonial holdings, such as Angola and Mozambique, see growing unrest as local factions push for independence, using the global conflict as a distraction. Key Story Hooks: Espionage in neutral territory, control over the Azores, secret Martian tech research, colonial tensions, balancing pressures from Axis and Allied forces.
