Simplification of the Portuguese "county" map is aimed at reducing complexity (duh!), improving service to taxpayers, while reducing public expenses. The last time this was done was 200 years ago - so, yes, it is needed, and yes, it took too long. The challenge though is to balance this with the need to keep people in inland Portugal, where the low number of inhabitants, rugged landscape and low education levels might hamper service improvement efforts. But, let's wait and see!
