Can you do an update on the situation in Portugal's African colonies? Are they revolting?
The Portuguese Royalists appear to be gaining the upper hand, albeit at a snail's pace thanks to Republican guerrillas. After the war is over, will the king introduce some kind of reforms to keep tensions from boiling over again? And of their remaining overseas possessions, what will they end up retaining?
On the other hand, that Spanish Republican agreement with Morocco was probably one of the last nails in the coffin for the Royalists. Some quick thinking on the part of France and Italy for getting the Germans to back down, too. Will this have any repercussions later on?
Morocco, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!
Spain would be a good place for the Portuguese republicans to hide and regroup.

This is pretty interesting. So the war begins to pull in more and more nations.
Could you please show us a map of territory controlled by both sides and states allied or leaning for either side?
Well Morocco will probably have their hands full fighting a Spanish insurgency for years to come. What an odd twist in this TL. I like it.
The Monarchy losing integral parts of the country will cost them some legitimacy.
Political reforms and representation are going to be necessary in Portugal to avoid a new revolt, in case the monarchy prevails as it seems likely.
Ditto for Spain.
IIRC, Ceuta and Melilla are seen by Spaniards as integral parts of Spain.
Keep it up, Mac Gregor!
Ceuta and Melilla are still Spanish IOTL, but the Moroccans are very upset about this and claim them to this day.
Seems like we're trending towards a monarchist restoration in Portugal and a new republic in Spain. That will surely shake up that part of Europe.
Yes, they are very icky.
Could we maybe see Spain split in two? Like a Royalist Castile and a Republican Aragon?
You're probably correct. What about some of the ethnically different places declaring independence?
And manned spaceflight to Venus by Russians. Are they crazy or don't they know what kind of planet it is?

It would be hilarious if, after all of this reasonable utopia, it all comes crashing down in a WWIII that goes nuclear between the Technocrats and everyone else.
