Portugal

Portugal is ethnically homogeneous and Portuguese-speaking, with communities from its former colonies — Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde — and growing international immigration. Portuguese is among the world's most widely spoken languages.

Roman Catholicism is the traditional and dominant faith, though observance has declined.

Society

Portugal has high life expectancy and quality of life but one of Europe's lowest birth rates and an aging population, with immigration now driving growth after years of emigration.
