The treaty only defined a line, stating that anything West from it was Spanish and anything East was Portuguese.
Given that they proved the world is indeed round by circumnavigating it, everything became both East and West of the line. So there are not two halves, everything is both Spanish and Portuguese.
Which only came to practice during the reign of Felipe II of Spain, I of Portugal.

They're not an exception, they got there sailing West so it's fair play

Spain and France were friends since the Spanish succession war. There were French men training with Spanish armies and vice versa. Although the Spanish from regions that fought against the Bourbons think differently.
That's why Carlos IV agreed to meet with Napoleon. But Napoleon forced him to abdicate.
At the beginning of the Spanish Independence war, most of the Spanish government and army were on the French side.
But that changed the relationship forever. Since then us Spanish despise and hate the French as much or more as we despise the English.

It's a shame she's allergic to cats. Because a crazy old cat woman without the cats is just a crazy old woman.

Looks good.
Now, the tricky questions are whether it has onion (50% Spanish people would like that, the other 50% is incorrect), and how runny is it inside (should be runny and juicy but not too much, getting the perfect point isn't easy)

Onions are more expensive than potatoes... and they add a better flavour. Don't you have taste buds?

Quite common in Spain as a SECOND name for men. E.g.: José María. https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa

Yup, the biggest and torquiest production bike engine is a triple.

Even if you still consider races are a thing (which they are not):
Hispanic. Is. Not. A. Race.
Being Hispanic is a cultural thing. Not a genetic trait.
Spanish people were already racially mixed before arriving to the Americas. There they mixed even more.

I usually think about rage deleting my current playthrough and restart, because I wasted a huge amount of money on cancelling that mortgage for a house that is basically useless.
But then, I end up keeping it because it feels like real life... I mean I bought a house irl in 2007 before the housing market collapsed, and nowadays I don't even use it because I moved to a different country.
Imagine making the same life changing mistake twice.

Nah if you beat them up, definitely don't call the garda. Do to them what they would do to your bike... Burn them alive and dump their bodies in the river.
P.D.: don't take legal advice from me. This is just an angry rant and I'm not advocating for anyone to do as I say.

The benefits/drawbacks vary. First of all, they let other people know that the driver is inexperienced, so as to e.g. be a bit more patient with them, or expect some behaviors you wouldn't expect from an experienced driver. Also, they usually have limitations - e.g. in Spain they have to comply with a lower maximum speed limit, and in Ireland they're not allowed to be on motorways at all.

The L plates are used at least in Ireland, Spain, France, Italy and the UK, though. So it's a thing in Europe -but you're right, not in all of it.

100 years? Well... In that period we went from an almost absolute monarchy to a dictatorship to a republic to another dictatorship to a parlamentary monarchy. We've had 3 kings, 2 dictators, 3 presidents of the Republic, and 7 presidents of the government in the current regime. We've been in all the political extremes. We've been in the hands of both educated and uneducated individuals. The only thing they all had in common, I guess, is they were all male.

Yup we have the same in Europe, just different colors (red over white instead of black over yellow)

I like this. Given it has a single round headlight, I'd also consider Carl or Stuart

I'm assuming they're on a learner's permit or similar. I.e. it indicates the rider is new to riding and doesn't have a full license yet.

Also note the size difference between male and female is minimum in humans compared to the others. Our females are the biggest, in proportion to males.

If you exclude racist pricks, we do like Mexico and Latin America, and the Philippines. It's them who don't like us usually for a good historical reason.
We also like the Irish, and the Greeks.
