Since he vanished, I'm gonna post a new one.

This "country" was established in 1972 by a Las Vegas architech. He created an artificial island on top of a reef in the Pacific where the nation was to be established. After that, they created their own currency and delivered declarations of independence to neighboring countries. A conference was held over this "country" which included Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Nauru, Western Samoa, and the Cook Islands. At this conference, Tonga claimed it as their own territory and occupied it. A group of Americans tried to retake the island in 1982, but the Tongan military forced them off after 3 weeks.

What "country" am I talking about?

at the 25th of April, the Portuguese armed forces successfully made a coup d'état, overthrowing the fascist dictatorship, that even then was a republic, but now a democratic republic. So we did not became a socialist Republic, and i believe we have around 1/2 of our border as coast line.

Something happened in Greece. but i don't believe Greece has 1/3rd coastline border. Even then, let me bet on Greece.

"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

This Islamic country was the first country to recognize American independence from Britain. About 25 years later, we were at war with them. What country am I talking about?
