The Positivity Index of Nations measures the positive behaviour of countries towards future generations’ interests and wellbeing, as well as countries’ positive impact on the global arena.

Because the Portuguese try to act as modern and luxury europeans, while they actual can't. They can just keep their heads above water so why fight and bother about the future or global arena etc. The Portuguese are still in the slip stream of the rooted late dictatorship and drained in a slowly dying conservative spiderweb.
