Add Aragon, Portuguese South America, Burgundy V3 profiles
Aragon: Fallen Mediterranean hegemon
- Lost all Italian territory to Napoleon, keeps Sicily/Sardinia/Languedoc/Iberia
- Hosts Pope-in-exile (asset + burden: moral authority vs impossible crusade demands)
- Defends Languedoc vs French Francophone Project
Portuguese South America: An entire continent with two exile courts
- ALL of South America under Portuguese rule (not just Brazil)
- Portuguese king + French king both in Rio
- French king claims French North America, funds royalist agents
- Independence movements in every viceroyalty (Río de la Plata most likely)
- Slavery: last major slaveholding territory, abolition vs civil war
- Amazon development, industrialization attempts
Burgundy: The educated survivor
- Last ruling Capetian dynasty (claims French throne)
- FOUR possible identities: Real France / Burgundian nation / European bridge / Join France
- Education = secret weapon (400yr church school tradition, highest literacy)
- High-end manufacturing niche (Swiss model: quality over quantity)
- France's Francophone Project = existential threat
- Capetian Card as diplomatic tool (threaten but never use)
- "Four centuries and we're still here"
