Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Pontinha (micronation)[edit]

Is anyone familiar with this?

BBC Radio 4 coverage this morning, and an interview with Baron Kevin Allmond, their new ambassador to the UK http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01hdnqn

As it happens, I am very familiar with this, I was there. What would you like to know? I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have. I would however, suggest that you look here: http://www.pontinhauk.co.uk as this will give you a bit of background to my work here in the UK and you may find some of your questions have already been answered.

I am particularly pleased that my office has managed to stop the selling of noble titles for Pontinha as these were being sold without HRH Prince Renatos permission.

Best regards

I do have to correct you on one point as well, sorry, but I have just noticed. The Pontinha (Odivelas) is actually a 'municipality' of Madeira. The Principality of Ilhue da Pontinha is a stand alone Principality which sits just of the coast of Madeira, near Funchal Harbour. It used to be an Islet but the harbour wall was extended out to it at some stage in its history.

Best regards
