m (Ahemtoday moved page Palacio de las Cortes to Spanish Parliament over redirect: Despite being... COMPLETELY incorrect, this IS what the game calls it, and our other articles are all named what the game calls them no matter how inconsistent.

Pamphlet information
Spain adopted its democratic constitution in 1978. This was two years after the death of General Franco, who had run the country for decades as a stuffy tyrant. Since then, Spain has been a democratic monarchy with the king as leader, although others have a say in the government. The Parliament, or governing body, meets in the Palacio de las Cortes. Two bronze lions guard the building. The bronze for the King of Beasts was melted down from a captured Moroccan cannon.
