Английская Википедия:Continental Portugal
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Coord missing
Continental Portugal (Шаблон:Lang-pt, Шаблон:IPA-pt) or mainland Portugal comprises the bulk of the Portuguese Republic, namely that part on the Iberian Peninsula and so in Continental Europe, having approximately 95% of the total population and 96.6% of the country's land. Mainland Portugal is therefore commonly called by residents of the Portuguese archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira the continent (Шаблон:Lang-pt) in all respects including minor elements of combined governance from Lisbon, the country's capital. Before 1975, when the Portuguese territory also stretched to several now-independent states in Africa, the designation metropolis (Шаблон:Lang-pt) was also used.
Context
The designation mainland Portugal is used to differentiate the continental territory of Portugal from its insular territory. The latter comprises the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores in the Atlantic Ocean. The Azores and Madeira are also commonly referred to as the autonomous regions (Шаблон:Lang-pt), insular Portugal (Шаблон:Lang-pt) or, simply, the islands (Шаблон:Lang-pt).
Continental Portugal is divided into 18 districts. Outside of these the islands of Madeira and the Azores are the Autonomous Regions of Portugal.
The European Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics defines the geographic plurality of the mainland Portugal and the islands as the primary NUTS I territorial division (see administrative divisions of Portugal: NUTS for details).
While in modern Portugal the difference between European continental and total territory is minor (in terms of area), it mattered during the existence of the Portuguese Empire, when the distinction was more frequently made, such as in the colonisation of Brazil. Continental Portugal has an area of Шаблон:Convert or 96.6% of the Portuguese national territory (Шаблон:Convert) and 9,855,909 inhabitants (or 95.3% of the total population of 10,343,066).
