I have mixed feelings about this treaty.
We are still paying money to Portugal, however this beats the previous treaty which would have required us to pay all occupiers for per territory in order to liberate it. This treaty is with Portugal and not PEACE as a whole, thus knocks Portugal out of the war and grants us the ability to focus on Indonesia and Russia to liberate the rest. We are still forced to concede 500 gold but at a far lower cost then previously agreed to by Emerick, as we aren't conceding any home states like Alaska Hawaii and Florida.
Bravo
I still would have preferred Canada and Spain to be included in this deal though.
In other news: The Floridian State of America has been renamed to the Confederate States of America by Emerick.

Tbh, for the cost of 500G, we get all our Portuguese regions back and wont be invaded for 6 mos. Its a pretty good deal. Lets go get the west.
We also have to pay for the war-costs, it's not just 500G, yesyes?
As long as Portugal doesn't attack Spain or Canada... the treaty didn't include them.
The way i read it the 500 gold is the only gold Portugal gets from us. Everything else was penalty fees if something happens
We could be put in a bad position if Portugal attacks and occupies territory belonging to Spain or Canada. Under this treaty we can't assist them... If that scenario becomes reality to hell with the treaty. Hopefully Portugal has had enough war...
Portugal has a Non-Aggression pact with Spain, they don't even border Canada.
They could trade territories with Russia in order to border Canada. But thats good to know about Spain.
Russia isnt "allowed" to trade territories without consent from their Indo-Hungarian overlords.
I don't think "non-aggression" means "non-combat". There is nothing in this treaty to suggest that ePortugal cannot defend eIndonesia and the eUS cannot defend eCanada.
