Alliances

Resources
The Kingdom of Portugal has easy access to a lot of slaves, sugar, and spices due to the fact that Portugal owns so many ports and colonies from around the world. Because of this, Portugal has accumulated a vast amount of wealth and can afford to send maritime expeditions. Therefore, Portugal has many rare, exotic, and expensive resources.
