Good job Nunor.
Its Sintra Palace 100%. And probably we will get Maria, The Mad, as Portugal`s leader. Im surprised by this choice, but could be fun...
OK, the architecture is DEFINITELY the Sintra Palace in Portugal:

So yeah... Portugal it is.
Trivia: the Sintra Palace was built by king consort Ferdinand, husband of Maria II *hint hint*
Yuck!
Nothing personal, but the British Empire AND England would be to much for me. I can't really stand it. Blame Elizabeth, whose charming voice is exceedingly and abundantly mellifluous (sarcasm). "We are plEEEased to meet you."
Maria the Mad was Dona Maria I, not Dona Maria II (The Good Mother). Not only that, she was know as "the Mad" in Brazil, but in Portugal she was known as "the Pious".
None of the images for Dona Maria I could fit that shadow and, on top of that, Firaxis hinted that the DYNASTY was the one who fell in madness, not one sole person of it. I'd say it's a low chance it's her...
That is certainly similar, so I'm not ruling out that that is, indeed, Portugal - it's the shadow that completely throws me off, though...
Also, really weird that they'd use Palacio de Sintra's style overlooking water (sea? river?) - Possibly a reference to Torre de Belém, but...
In anycase, it's a really strong connection here - but that damn shadow!!!
