No thank you. We tried too hard not to be Spain for a long time.
>>61649570
Not only we are hard workers and we have a pretty good industry. Spanish get out of my country
>>61649512
Shouldn't that be around 56-57 instead of 53?

It'd make sense from all point of views (political, geographical, economical, etc) except cultural. You'd be assimilated like the Borg collective assimilated thousand of races.
Unless you make Austria-Hungary tier and put an Hassburger in the throne. Which would be absolutely disgusting.
t. Spanish
Sorry but Poortugal would drag Spain down even more just like Terronia does with us.

But think about all the scandals fueled by inbred and retarded royals. Life would be much more interesting.

Please don't, we don't need more leech undeveloped regions. We can give you Extremadura and Galicia but please go.
I know we were mean to you in the past and we're sorry but please don't try to destroy us even more we're already in deep shit.

This. I'm usually the guy here bashing on Spanish threads for a bit of banter, but to be fair, our current monarchic house is descendant of our greatest military general, known for the battles of Aljubarrota and Valverde against Castille.
From the battle of Valverde:
>Nuno Álvares Pereira himself, seeing the banner of the Grand Master of Santiago, fought his way through the Castilian army until encountering him, and after a brief duel, the Grand Master fell mortally wounded. With his fall and the overthrow of his standard, the Castilian army demoralized and was soon broken and in disorder, and could not stop the Portuguese attack, being quickly and totally defeated
There's just no way we'd accept being absorbed by our oldest rivals. We can still be pals and drink and punch each other every so often this way, but we have the oldest borders in Europe for a reason.

We already got our own Terronia.
secessionists are a big meme

Lame.
But if we merge the royal lines of Alberto Barbosa and Princess Leonor via marriage, the rightful heir could be Emperor of Hispania and the Américas.
