    More from Wikipedia..

    The Estado Novo, or the Second Republic, was the corporatist authoritarian regime installed in Portugal in 1933. Opposed to communism, socialism, liberalism, and anti-colonialism, the pro-Roman Catholic Estado Novo regime advocated the retention of Portuguese colonies as a pluricontinental empire. Under the Estado Novo, Portugal preserved a vast centuries-long empire with a total area of 2,168,071 km2.[1] Fiercely criticized by most of the international community after World War II and the European decolonization, the regime and its secret police repressed elemental civil liberties and political freedoms in order to remain in power, and to avoid communist influence and the dissolution of its coveted empire.

    I truthfully had no idea a regime could be opposed to so many established ideologies all at once. And this was right in Europe in modern times!
