Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe with its borders pretty much unchanged since 1297. Portugal also had one of the longest running empires (from the capture of Ceuta in 1415 to the handover of Macau in 1999) and one of the largest, stretching from Brazil to China. The alliance between England and Portugal, ratified by the Treaty of Windsor in 1386 is the oldest alliance in the world still in force.

The most western European state has a shoreline at the Atlantic Ocean, it is bordered to the north and in the east by only one other country, Spain. Portugal shares a maritime border with Morocco.

The country covers an area of 92,090 km², compared, it is slightly smaller than Hungary (93,028 km²), or the US state of Indiana.

Portugal has a population of 10.3 million people (in 2018); the capital and largest city is Lisbon, with about 500,000 inhabitants. The official language is Portuguese.
