Could be worse. I thought Andorra was Moldova until I saw the Iberian Peninsula sign.

Poor Portugal.

Interesting fact. The oldest alliance still in force, the treaty is between Portugal and the U.K. dating back to 1373, signed the Treaty of Windsor in 1386.

Historically, the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of England , and later the modern Portugal and United Kingdom , have never waged war against each other nor have they participated in wars on opposite sides as independent states since the signing of the Treaty of Windsor. While Portugal was subsumed under the Iberian Union , rebellious Portuguese factions and government in exile sought refuge and help in England. England spearheaded the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) on the side of the deposed Portuguese royal house .

The alliance has served both countries throughout their respective military histories, influencing the participation of the United Kingdom in the Iberian   Peninsular War , the UK’s major land contribution to the Napoleonic Wars and the establishment of an Anglo-American base in Portugal. Portugal aided England (and later the UK) in times of need, for example, in the First World War . Today, Portugal and the United Kingdom are both part of NATO , a larger intergovernmental military alliance between several North American and European states that accounts for over 70% of total global military spending.

Basically, their enemy is our enemy, their friend is our friend.
