September

Judazs won for the first time the elections and becomes the new President of Portugal. Judazs is now the leader of Partido Deixa Andar (PDA). Judazs was in charge of PReC but he decided to join PDA because PDA and PReC have the same political "direction" (far-left) but mainly because PHuSiOn9 wasn't in the main seats of PDA.

This month was complicated for Portugal. Admin decided to put a limit to the amount of currency printed and deleted more than Flag-Portugal.jpg 3 Billion PTE from government accounts which made huge damages to the Economy of Portugal and resulted in a change to the Tax system. From a really long time, Portugal was almost a tax free country. Due to this new change, Portugal had to put the VAT to 50%, Import tax to 1% and Income tax to 5% (on September 20th Judazs changed these taxes).

Because of this Judazs wrote Open Letter to Admin which motivated a lot of Portuguese people to spam the forums to alert the admin. Some users were banned for spamming. But the most important thing is that this situation united a lot of Portuguese users.

August

Socrates won this month and he is the new President of Portugal. He had already been a President before (in January 2008). Socrates succeeds Alister after he said in his journal that he wouldn't run again as the President of Portugal. The elections this month were strange. For the first time, a candidate is banned. The candidate of NRB, Curius Nerva, was in 2nd place in the elections dispute. On the elections day, many citizens were born and voted. Most of them voted for the NRB. At the end of the day, the admin decided to ban Nerva and a new candidate was chosen. But at the end who won was Socrates followed by AngelofSorrows.

This month a lot of changes happened as a new party was born and got, in his first month, got 5 congressmen (NRB). Also, the Vice-President was PHuSiOn9 but he also resigned this place. So Socrates invited Judazs to be the new Vice-President. This is the first time in Portugal's history that 2 different parties are in the government; Socrates from PDA and Judazs from PReC.

July

Alister won again but the elections were disputed. Diogo Sena (from SDP) had more votes during the day but in the night people decided to vote for Alister and this made him the new President. It is rumoured that Alister could have easily won if Commandos had the ability to vote (they couldn't as they were in Hungary on a mission) and most of the Commandos members are PDA members/PDA supporters. But even without the votes from Commandos, he managed to win. But the strange thing is that Diogo Sena hadn't made any proposal or press release of what was his plans. By this time many people criticized SDP for the lack of proposals and ideas.
After Diogo Sena lost the elections he resigned from SDP. But he later revealed that he resigned the party leadership because he was taking the vacation. Obviously, this is bad because if he had won he would have an inactive President[1].

This month nothing really important happened except that a new party born NRB (Nova Républica Bazulista), membership grew fast and it will gain a few Congress seats due to their amount of members.
Also, Alister announced that he won't continue his mandate next month and Socrates was the chosen one. This month Alister decided to rise the import taxes of gifts and food from 0% to 99%.

June

Alister won for the first time one election (last month he was President because PHuSiOn9 couldn't fulfil his mandate). This month was important because Alister (with the help of PHuSiOn9) created the PENICO contract. Also, Alister decided to continue with the taxes set to 0% on all industries. This is good because that way people from other countries can export to Portugal so the benefits of this are huge as Portugal won't have a lack of anything as was before. Also, salaries increased a lot again. DrogbaPT said that his daily salary was above Flag-Portugal.jpg 200 PTE!

May

PHuSiOn9 won the elections again. By this time the food crisis is finally over and Portugal has enough in stock satisfy (almost) all Population. PHuSiOn9 decided to keep the taxes on 0% because not all of the industries were in good shape. By this time PHuSiOn9 was starting to make ministries to help him because the plan SIEG ALHO needed more people to make it functional and to start the exportation project.
So the companies that were in the SIEG ALHO plan were ordered to export some of his stock so Portugal could make some GOLD. Many people by this time were protesting against the plan because they considered that the plan was only good for the "friends" of PHuSiOn9.

Of course, PHuSiOn9 wasn't favoring anyone as the chosen companies were the ones that were successful before the plan and that had a decent amount of workers.

April

PHuSiOn9 won the elections for the first time (in the previous month he was the interim president taking the office after the impeachment). This month was extremely important because PHuSiOn9 created a new plan. The plan's main objective was to make Portugal a Super-Power like the previous plan made by Tostex but also to make the Portugal economy to stabilize as it was in a bad shape. Like the previous plan, the government was going to give money to the chosen companies to make the plan successful. But this time PHuSiOn9 is going to change a few things and make it more effective. The plan name was "Plano SIEG ALHO".

At the beginning of implementing the plan, Portugal salaries increased a lot. DrogbaPT was gaining Flag-Portugal.jpgPTE a day when the salaries rise to Flag-Portugal.jpg 50 PTE for him. Obviously, the products price rise too but now it was possible to buy several things with just one salary. This was bad because the market was empty most of the day as everyone was trying to buy all products. It even reaches to the point where Portugal had a high quality food crisis as Q4 food was quite rare to find on the market and it was needed to maintain wellness for workers in Q4 companies. Even low-quality food was low in stock many times but Pakistan eased the pressure on the food companies because they put more than 1000 Q1 food in Portugal.

Because of this, the government decided to put 0% on ALL taxes and some companies started to export to Portugal. This helped Portugal a lot in this crisis. At the end of the month, the plan was finally being beneficial and not harmful because food companies started to have more food in stock.

March

Draconem (from SDP) won for the first time the general elections and it's the new President. Draconem, like lribeiro81, didn't have much time to make a lot of things mainly because he couldn't fulfil his mandate. His life couldn't let him play so Portugal got, again, the same situation - a country without a President. By this time Portugal lost some of its importance in the New World and it was not any more in the top five most populated countries. Currency wasn't in the top 5 most valuable and economically Portugal was losing its power.

There were political tensions because several members were always discussing and insulting. All of this lead to Portugal decay. Meanwhile, on 14 March, Draconem is replaced by PHuSiOn9 who was a PDA member so PDA got the power again, as they did in December. PHuSiOn9 announced his plan of what he was going to do to improve Portugal.

Also, the war module was about to be implemented in the game and as the economy was in a bad shape and many economists feared that if Portugal is attacked or attacks the economy would simply crash.

February

lribeiro81 (SDP) won the elections and it's the new President of Portugal. lribeiro81 only won with 1 more vote than PHuSiOn9 and the funniest thing is that the last vote was from the lribeiro81. He was the last one to vote in the last minute because he got late at home and when he logged on he voted in himself. In that time PHuSiOn9 weren't friends and obviously, PHuSiOn9 was frustrated from losing.

lribeiro81 didn't do a lot for Portugal because seven days after he was elected he had to resign his place. Reasons for this it's because his real life got too complicated and he couldn't be President anymore. lribeiro81 didn't want to leave Portugal without a President so he decided to give his password to Tostex. Meanwhile, lribeiro81 resigned his place as the party leader of SDP and joaofs was the new party leader of SDP. tostex was Interim President of Portugal but was using lribeiro81's account. Admins didn't like this so they decided to give the Presidency to joafs (party leader of SDP) on 11th February. Apparently, joaofs didn't want to be President so he resigned his party seat to tostex. Because of that admins decided to give tostex the leadership. So Tostex became President of Portugal on 12th February. But there was a problem again which got solved really fast. tostex was mayor of Coimbra and since you couldn't be (in that time) Mayor and President at the same time admins gave the mayor seat to braposo.
Finally, Portugal had a President and it was tostex.

tostex did do a few things for Portugal. He created a plan called "Portugal Super-Potência". This plan objectives were to decrease unemployment and deflation and increase GDP.
To fulfil these objectives, tostex selected a few companies (who had export licenses) in Portugal and they had to sell their goods only in the others markets which they had an export license. Also, tostex gave a few benefits to these companies but obviously, these ones had to sell their GOLD to Portugal. The other companies who weren't in the plan had their lives easier because there weren't so many companies competing with each other. The plan only worked for a few time because some companies didn't abbey to the rules.
So the plan was cancelled and nothing else happened until the next elections.

January

Socrates (from SDP) won the elections and become the new President of Portugal. Socrates created an external forum which is a place where all Portuguese can talk and debate several situations. Socrates had several ideas and his ideas were:

  • Economical advise to all companies to prevent GOLD wastes in markets that give no profit in some industrial areas.
  • Establish Mutual Defense Pacts with Portugal neighbours and all the countries that want peace and prosperity.
  • Emergency plans in case of war. Gives financial assistance to the weapons industries to increase their stocks and to give weapons to all citizens in a cheap and effective way. The same may happen to the food industry if necessary.

Socrates also financed the first hospital (which was sold by Veterinary) for Lisbon. It was the first hospital that Portugal had. Nothing much was done because according to Socrates "we were still learning how to play the game".

At the end of the mandate, Socrates decides that he doesn't want to be re-elected because some users said that without having a company or being congressman/mayor/President there is nothing to do. So Socrates wants to show that there things to do even if you are a simple citizen.

2007

December

First, we need to know what happened in November. krostyf was born on 30 November and created his party (PDA) at an unknown date. It is known that he created his party with the help of PHuSiOn9.
So on 1st December, PDA was the only party created and since there was only one candidate for President - krostyf, he won. Also, the only congressmen were PHuSiOn9 and krostyf.

In December, two new parties were created SDP and PFZ.
They have printed Flag-Portugal.jpgPTE one day, and on the following day, they burn it. They didn't listen to any of the suggestions given by the others parties. Also, krostyf did some bad moves; like selling weapons to Spain and not selling them to Portugal when it was more important to sell it in their own country[2]. As well, he put in the market exchange the sale of PTE for GOLD and then later GOLD for PTE. In the end, he decided only to sell PTE for GOLD. He also started to print some PTE to devalue PTE. For the first time in Portugal, krostyf rose import taxes. He also started to lend some money to one company in order to help it. But the thing didn't go well so krostyf decided to ask back the money and he decided to never lend money again because of the bad result.

In the last days of krostyf's presidency, he decided to steal some Gold from Portugal. Although some of the people at that time said that it wasn't confirmed that in fact he really stole some GOLD.
But PHuSiOn9 said to DrogbaPT that he stole some of the GOLD. The gold was returned through donations, although Portugal had to pay some PTE first (PHuSiOn9 was close to krostyf so it's one of the most reliable sources from that time.)
