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"

+# Portuguese South America (葡属南美 / América Portuguesa) — V3 Start 1836
+
+## Basic Info
+- **Official Name**: Reino de Portugal e Algarves na América (葡萄牙及阿尔加维美洲王国)
+- **Capital**: Rio de Janeiro
+- **Head of State**: King of Portugal (葡萄牙国王 — exile court, ruling from Rio since ~1765)
+- **Also present**: Exiled King of France (法兰西流亡国王 — guest/political actor, NOT co-ruler)
+- **Government**: Absolute monarchy (King + colonial viceroy system). The King rules ALL of South America through appointed viceroys. No real parliament — colonial assembly exists but advisory only.
+- **State Religion**: Catholic
+- **Technology Tier**: 2.5-3 (plantation economy + emerging industry. Rio/Lima have some modern infrastructure. Interior is pre-industrial.)
+- **Population**: Very large territory, medium population (~20-30M? Mixed: European, indigenous, African, mestizo/mulato)
+- **Literacy**: Low (plantation society, mass illiteracy outside colonial elite)
+
+## Territory: AN ENTIRE CONTINENT
+
+```
+  This is not "Brazil." This is ALL of South America under Portuguese rule.
+  
+  Viceroyalty of Brazil (最重要):
+    Rio de Janeiro (CAPITAL — royal court here)
+    São Paulo, Bahia, Pernambuco
+    Sugar + coffee plantations (northeast)
+    Growing industrial zone (São Paulo area)
+    
+  Viceroyalty of Peru:
+    Lima (vice-capital)
+    Potosí silver mines (STILL producing after 300 years, declining)
+    Andean indigenous population
+    
+  Viceroyalty of New Granada:
+    Bogotá
+    Caribbean coast
+    Gold/emerald mining
+    
+  Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata:
+    Buenos Aires (growing port city)
+    Pampas — cattle ranching, wheat
+    Most "European" in culture (settler population)
+    Most likely to declare independence (farthest from Rio, most self-sufficient)
+    
+  Interior:
+    Amazon basin — vast, largely unexplored, indigenous peoples
+    Patagonia — empty, cold
+    Andes interior — mining communities
+```
+
+## The Two Courts (双朝廷)
+
+```
+  Portuguese Royal Court (legitimate rulers):
+  ├ King of Portugal rules from Rio since ~1765 (70+ years)
+  ├ Portuguese + Brazilian-born (criollo) aristocracy
+  ├ Controls: all viceroyalties, military, taxation, trade policy
+  ├ Problem: Portugal ITSELF is under Castilian "protection" → the American territories ARE the state now
+  │  → Portugal-in-Europe is a Castilian satellite
+  │  → Portugal-in-America is the REAL Portugal
+  └ The King's dilemma: focus on America (where the power is) or dream of recovering European Portugal?
+  
+  French Royal Court (exiled guests):
+  ├ French king fled here ~1765 during revolution
+  ├ French exile aristocrats formed a small community in Rio
+  ├ Legally: GUESTS with no governing authority
+  ├ Actually: 70 years of French courtiers marrying into Portuguese/Brazilian elite
+  │  → French-Portuguese intermarriage → blurred lines
+  │  → French cultural influence in Rio (fashion, cuisine, philosophy)
+  ├ The French king's political activity:
+  │  → Claims French throne (obviously) → issues proclamations from Rio
+  │  → Wants to RECOVER France → how? With what army?
+  │  → Claims sovereignty over FRENCH NORTH AMERICA (法属北美)
+  │    → "New France (Canada etc.) is MY colony — the Republic stole it"
+  │    → Some French-Canadian communities actually recognize the exile king
+  │    → This creates a legal limbo: who owns New France? Republic? Exile? Nobody?
+  │  → Funds royalist agents in France (futile but annoying to the Republic)
+  └ Portuguese king's view: "My guest is useful (annoys France) but also a headache"
+
+  V3: Two-court events
+  → French king proposes joint expedition to recover France/colonies → Portuguese king says no
+  → French-Portuguese aristocratic marriages → cultural events
+  → French exile community wants its own quarter/privileges → tensions with Brazilian-born elite
+  → French king dies → successor: continue claiming France or give up and become Brazilian?
+```
+
+## The Independence Problem (独立危机)
+
+```
+  South America in 1836 is RIPE for independence movements:
+  
+  Historical parallel: Real Latin American independence (1810-1830):
+  ├ Caused by: metropolitan weakness, Creole resentment, Enlightenment ideas
+  ├ Led by: local elites (Bolívar, San Martín)
+  └ Result: continent fragments into 10+ republics
+  
+  This timeline has the same ingredients:
+  ├ Portugal collapsed (~1765) → the King is HERE but the KINGDOM is gone
+  ├ Creole (American-born) elites vs peninsular (European-born) elite
+  │  → "Why should Portuguese-born officials rule us? WE are the real power."
+  ├ Enlightenment ideas (French revolution happened → republican ideals circulating)
+  ├ Distances: Rio to Lima = 4000km. Rio to Buenos Aires = 2000km. 
+  │  → Viceroyalties are semi-independent by geography
+  ├ Economic interests diverge: Buenos Aires exports beef to England,
+  │  Lima exports silver to Asia, São Paulo manufactures → different markets, different needs
+  └ The King can barely hold this together
+  
+  Most likely independence candidates:
+  ├ Río de la Plata (Buenos Aires): most European, most self-sufficient, farthest from Rio
+  ├ Peru: old viceroyalty, strong local identity, mining elite
+  ├ New Granada: Caribbean orientation, distinct
+  └ Even Brazil itself might fragment (São Paulo vs Bahia vs Pernambuco)
+  
+  V3: Independence movement events fire in each viceroyalty
+  → Player (as Portugal) can: suppress (military), reform (autonomy/federation), or let go
+  → Player (as independence movement) can: negotiate autonomy or declare independence
+```
+
+## The Slavery War (奴隶制战争)
+
+```
+  South America is the LAST MAJOR slaveholding territory in the world.
+  
+  Status (1836):
+  ├ Atlantic slave TRADE abolished (no new imports — international naval patrols)
+  ├ But EXISTING slavery continues (children of slaves are slaves)
+  ├ ~3-5 million enslaved people across the continent?
+  ├ Concentrated in: Brazilian sugar/coffee northeast, Caribbean coast, mining regions
+  
+  Factions:
+  ABOLITIONISTS (废奴派):
+  ├ Enlightenment-influenced intellectuals
+  ├ Urban professionals in Rio/São Paulo
+  ├ International pressure (England DEMANDS abolition)
+  ├ Some clergy (Catholic social teaching)
+  └ The slaves themselves (maroon communities, resistance)
+  
+  SLAVEHOLDERS (拥奴派):
+  ├ Sugar plantation owners (northeast Brazil)
+  ├ Coffee planters (expanding)
+  ├ Mining operators
+  ├ The backbone of the colonial economy
+  └ "Abolition = economic ruin = revolution = we ALL die"
+  
+  The King: STUCK
+  ├ International pressure says abolish
+  ├ Plantation owners say "abolish and we declare independence / civil war"
+  ├ The Portuguese state DEPENDS on plantation tax revenue
+  └ No good options
+  
+  V3: Slavery crisis event chain
+  → Gradual abolition (compensated emancipation? → where's the money?)
+  → Immediate abolition (civil war between abolitionist and slaveholder regions?)
+  → Status quo (international isolation + slave revolts escalating)
+  → Each choice interacts with independence movements:
+     abolition might trigger slaveholder regions to secede
+     maintaining slavery might trigger abolitionist regions to revolt
+```
+
+## Core Gameplay: Holding a Continent Together
+
+### 1. Unity vs Fragmentation
+```
+  Journal Entry: "One Kingdom or Many?"
+  ├ Centralize: tighten viceregal control, suppress autonomy → resistance
+  ├ Federate: grant autonomy to each viceroyalty → holds together but weakens center
+  ├ Fragment: let regions go → multiple independent republics emerge
+  └ Each viceroyalty has its own independence meter (like Egypt's pressure valve)
+```
+
+### 2. Slavery Abolition
+```
+  Journal Entry: "Freedom's Price"
+  → Must be resolved before anything else works
+  → Interacts with independence (slaveholder regions vs abolitionist regions)
+```
+
+### 3. Amazon Development
+```
+  Journal Entry: "The Green Hell"
+  ├ Amazon basin: vast, unexplored, rubber potential?, indigenous peoples
+  ├ Rubber boom? (if vulcanization is invented → rubber = strategic resource)
+  ├ Development vs preservation (not a 1836 concern but → exploitation)
+  └ Long-term economic diversification away from plantation monoculture
+```
+
+### 4. Industrialization
+```
+  São Paulo/Rio as emerging industrial zones
+  ├ Import technology from England/Germany
+  ├ Use Potosí silver revenue (declining but still real) to fund factories
+  ├ Build railways connecting the continent
+  └ Goal: from plantation economy → modern industrial economy
+     (but slavery blocks this — slave labor ≠ efficient industrial labor)
+```
+
+### 5. The French King
+```
+  What to do with the French exile court?
+  ├ Keep as diplomatic tool (annoys France, attracts French royalists)
+  ├ Expel (improve relations with French Republic → trade opportunities)
+  ├ Support his claim to French North America (create a joint Portuguese-French colonial venture?)
+  └ Eventually: French king dies → his heir: "I'm Brazilian now" or "I'm still French"
+```
+
+## Flavor
+
+### The Tropical Empire
+- A European monarchy ruling from the tropics → unique cultural fusion
+- Rio: Portuguese architecture + tropical climate + African/indigenous influences
+- The King holds European court in a palace surrounded by palm trees and parrots
+- "The most civilized court in the most savage land" (colonial arrogance)
+
+### Bolívar's Ghost
+- No Bolívar yet (there might not be a SINGLE liberator — could be multiple movements)
+- But the IDEA of liberation is everywhere: pamphlets, secret societies, masonic lodges
+- Every café in Buenos Aires and Lima has someone planning independence
+- The King's secret police try to suppress it but it's like holding water
+
+### The Last Slaveholders
+- International shame: every other major country has abolished
+- English naval patrols humiliate Portuguese ships
+- "We are the civilization that conquered the New World — now we're the barbarians?"
+- The moral weight is crushing — even slaveholders know their time is ending
+
+## Relationships
+| Country | Relationship | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| England | **Pressure + trade** | Demands abolition. But also: biggest trade partner (buys coffee, beef, sugar). |
+| Castile | **"Protector" of European Portugal** | Controls the motherland. Complex — is Castile an ally or a captor? |
+| France (Republic) | **Hostile** | France wants the exile king gone. France wants North American French allegiance. |
+| French King (exile) | **Guest/tool** | Useful for annoying France, burden otherwise. French-Portuguese elite intermarriage. |
+| Germany | **Trade partner** | Buys South American goods, sells industrial equipment. |
+| Italian Empire | **Distant** | No direct interaction. |
+| Viceroyalties (internal) | **The real challenge** | Each one an independence movement waiting to happen. |
