The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was leased to Portugal in 1557 as a trading post in exchange for a symbolic annual rent of 500 tael.
- Despite remaining under Chinese sovereignty and authority, the Portuguese came to consider and administer Macau as a de facto colony.
- Following the signing of the Treaty of Nanking between China and Britain in 1842, and the signing of treaties between China and foreign powers during the 1860s, establishing the benefit of "the most favoured nation" for them, the Portuguese attempted to conclude a similar treaty in 1862, but the Chinese refused, owing to a misunderstanding over the sovereignty of Macau.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The History of Macau article was read about 38,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 81: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
