Yes, that's exactly it. Our neighbors (Ireland and Wales) are very imperialistic and they forced us throughout history to develop a sort of skin-like armor, which at first was custom made to fit our babies and grew with them, but eventually became a part of our DNA. Presently, this armor can only be seen under UV light, and I am part of the new genetic engineering program that will eradicate the need for the mandatory mustache provided to all Portuguese (women conceal theirs, and I am not allowed to disclose where).
You see, the mustache has been our armors' energy source for generations (nature is weird, I know). Until now. Hopefully we can now be both powerful enough to fight off the big Welsh threat and eat 100% of our delicious soups.


Here are pictures of our first 3 presidents (featuring their custom built mustaches to withstand soup starvation for 3 months).


Joaquim Teófilo Fernandes Braga




Manuel José de Arriaga Brum da Silveira e Peyrelongue




Bernardino Luís Machado Guimarães
(he was paranoid and had a backup mustache under his lower lip)
