Klagenfurt is coming back! This time, it is better than ever.

Kingdom of Portugal After a year of study and debate, it is clear that the Oportonites are in the right, and it is declared that their doctrine is to be adopted for the Marinha. British-style logistics are to be adopted, and ship classifications and specifications are to mimic the British methods. [Mod] The Marinharia Moderna is requested to include a chapter explaining the details of the split in the Marinha, and the modernisation of naval doctrine and logistics. [Mod] An additional 5 000 infantry men are to be hired for the army, and materiel to outfit them are to be purchased along with one dozen field guns. In addition to the infantry, a regiment of engineers is to be formed of the talent of the universities and military. [Mod] Two more expeditions and settler columns are rallied, headed for the uninhabited Mascarenes and Seychelles. As the islands are farther than Cabo Verde, extra supplies and materiel are to be provided for both travel and settlement. [Mod] [Mod Queen’s Pregnancy]

Kingdom of Portugal In order to settle the recent divides in the Marinha, King Pedro II Pacifico has ordered Admiral Luís Inocêncio de Castro to determine the optimal way for a navy to be run. The heads of the Marinha are to investigate the navies of Europe with especial focus on the earlier Portuguese navy as well as the British, French, Spanish, and Venetian navies. Comparisons between the Lisbonites and Oportonites are to be made with the existing navies, aiming to reduce inconsistencies and impractical measure in creating a Portuguese naval doctrine. Additionally, a report on naval doctrine is to be written as a manual for the admiralty of Portugal. [Mod+Responses] Colonists are rallied to join an expedition to the Cape Verde Peninsula and the minor islands along the coast along-side a contingent of 1 000 garrison men. The first order of action is to prepare adequate fortifications for settlement and construct a harbour for basing of the ships. Half-way through the year, a second group of colonists are to join the colony along with extra supplies of materiel, textiles, dried foods, and seeds. [Mod] Since the prior year’s kick-starts to the manufactories have proven successful, further generous investments are provided to crockers, magnaneries, and textile manufactories. Off-season subsidies are offered in exchange for partial ownership from 20-50% of the manufactories by the crown. [Mod] The Queen’s pregnancy [Mod]

Kingdom of Portugal The recent success of the manufactories in Portugal has proven to be an effective way to revive the local economy, and these measures are to be taken further. Minor subsidies are provided to domestic textile manufactories and porcelain crockers, creators of some of the finest arts. Additionally, the Magnaneries of Portugal are to recieve some 200 000 Mulberry trees. To further aid the local industry, an increased tax is placed on the import of textiles, silks, and porcelain. [Mod] During the Summer months, King Pedro II Pacifico exchange many a letter with members of the French aristocracy, visiting Normandy and the Île-de-France to meet with King Louis XIV and François Marie, a member of the house Lorraine. A marriage to take place in Autumn of this year between the King incumbent and François Marie’s daughter, Béatrice Hiéronyme with the support of the Sun King. [Mod?] With the arrival of the British admiralty, logistic and strategic planning is underway, headed by Admiral Luís Inocêncio de Castro. Measuring the capacity of the Portuguese shipyards and harbours, sailors and captains, and supplies for the navy. Planning and training in naval warfare for the inexperienced Portuguese admiralty is also to take place. [Mod] The navy is not to reap all of the benefits of Anglo-Portuguese training. The arrival of John Churchill was well-received, and teaching the art of war with the best army in Europe only goes so far. One Matias de Albequerque, nicknamed “Hero of two Kingdoms” departs for England to meet with the commanders of the British army. His experience from the war and leadership in the famous Battle of Lisbon ought to bring with him quite the renown. [Mod]

Kingdom of Portugal Following the death of King Alfonso VI in late 1683, the appointed heir and regent, Pedro (II) ‘Pacifico’ Braganza ascended to the throne. The now-Queen Maria Francisca would also pass away at the end of 1683, leaving their daughter Isabel Luísa as the heir to the throne of Portugal. Marinha Portuguesa During the War of Restoration, most warships evacuated the country to join the Spanish cause. The now-empty ports are inadequate for the protection of the state and its trade. In order to solve this problem, King Pedro II has called the Marinha to Lisbon to plan its expansion and restructuring. Preparations are made to visit captains, merchants, and shipwrights in order to get a better idea of what the situation is across the country, as well as to adjust production in accordance to the capabilities. Some 10 Frigates and 15 Galleons are planned for commission in accordance with the Marinha’s needs and capacity. (Mod) Domestic Manufactories The loss of the colonies has left a hole in goods being delivered to Portugal. In order to solve this, minor shipping privileges are given to domestic producers of goods such as wine, porcelain, jewellery, processed woods, and especially textiles. Textile supplies would be used in the reconstruction of the navy and outfitting of the military. (Mod) Anglo-Portuguese Treaty (1684) The ratification of a military alliance between the two kingdoms assuring friendship, co-operation, and defencive alliance was signed by the incumbent kings.

Kingdom of Portugal After the long war for independence and the loss of their overseas land, King Alfonso VI Braganza had become a hero in the country. Though he was celebrated for a period after the war, his sickly nature and monotony towards ruling the country reduced him to little more than a mask worn by his brother and heir, Pedro Braganza. Pedro is a determined man who always keeps and open mind and will accept the advice of his advisors and visitors to the court. DexterII#4394
