The Portuguese Civil War is a conflict that broke out in 2028 following the global societal collapse. A group of Portuguese nationalists, angered by the poor work of the government, gathered in the north of the country and declared that the government stepped down. They refused, and deployed Public Security Police, most of whom were either killed or defected. Nationalists left the country side, armed by their Spanish neighbor, and took over the northern city of Braga. The nationalist leader proclaimed himself the president of the Nationalist Republic of Portugal, with Braga as the capital.
