CoN 3: Resolution II

Background
Following the player 'Scorpedeo' and his collapse as Munster, he had rejoined the save as the nation of Portugal. Furthermore, between Resolutions I and II, Tethys_in_Time, playing as Castile, had lost interest in the save and therefore was evicted from the council. This meant the Council currently had four members; Florence, Brandenburg, The Palatinate, and the Livonian Order. Being a Catholic Kingdom in Iberia, Portugal was eligible to request to join the Council of Nations. As a result, under Alfonso V de Avis and his administration, Portugal requested to join the Council. Resolution II was drafted in 1461 as a result, and the official vote took place later that year.
