- AQNSUTHZM
- BQNSUVHZK
- CQNSUTPBM
- DOPSWTHZM

S (consonant) T
W (consonant) X
E (vowel) D
D (consonant) E
E (vowel) D
N (consonant) O
Let's verify with GERMANY → HDSNZOZ:
G (consonant) H
E (vowel) D
R (consonant) S
M (consonant) N
A (vowel) Z
N (consonant) O
Y (consonant) Z
This matches the rule perfectly!
Now, apply this rule (Consonants +1, Vowels −1) to PORTUGAL:
P (consonant) Q
O (vowel) n
R (consonant) S
T (consonant) U
U (vowel) T
G (consonant) H
A (vowel) Z
L (consonant) M
Thus, the code is QNSUTHZM.
