It is the country farthest East of European countries and due to its location, has been an area that many nations have battled to try and control. Being on the Iberian Peninsula and on the Atlantic Ocean, control of Portugal would mean a handy port of entry to import and export from distant lands.
But native Portuguese wanted no other powers in control and in 1128 became an independent country that held a lot of power. In the 16th century, Portugal was considered an empire of power and wealth. Many famous explorers sailed the seas waving the flag of Portugal. In fact, the South American country of Brazil was discovered by Vasco da Gama who sailed with ships and the blessing of the Portuguese royalty.
Portugal is a semi-presidential representative democratic republic and there is a strong atmosphere of entrepreneurship in the country. As such, network marketing… MLM is quite popular in this European nation.
