* WhoWantsToLiveForever: All the nations are immortal...which means they've seen every tragedy that befell them for hundreds and thousands of years, and can't die unless the countries themselves break apart and people no longer use those national identities.

Basically, history textbooks meet NationsAsPeople meet {{Deconstruction}}. And {{angst}]. Lots and ''lots'' of angst.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: Often happens when a nation is undergoing a civil war, if there aren't two siblings representing it already. Sometimes, one part of a nation's split personality is a gender-flip of the original nation.

* EmotionlessBoy: Russia gives off this impression.
* HairDecorations: Several of the female nations wear something in their hair. Austria has an edelweiss pin, France wears fleur-de-lis clips, America occasionally sports a rose headband or Z-shaped clips, China sometimes wears peony and plum blossom pins, Liechtenstein has a purple headband, and Philippines has white flowers.

Each comic of the randomly-ordered series focuses on a specific group of major characters, never the same for two comics, and all plots are strongly focused on parts of history. There is no set [[LoadsandLoadsofCharacters main character]]—it's either whoever you want it to be or your own homeland (if it’s personified in the series), because history has no main character. The view, however, of each and every one is different depending on the comic. One country may be the protagonist of a comic, and the antagonist of another.

* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done" Daughter Girl]]: America for England, before...[[TheAmericanRevolution well, you know]].

NationsAsPeople is a fascinating concept, but it's mainly used for political cartoons and things like AxisPowersHetalia and ScandinaviaandtheWorld. Even then, both works just poke fun at the nations and their personified relations. It's not like there could be any ''serious'' effects if there really were personified nations...

* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Girl]]: America for England, before...[[TheAmericanRevolution well, you know]].

* WouldHitaGirl: Required for nations. In war, gender standards are practically nonexistent for them. Examples are the England/France, Spain/Portugal, America/Soviet Union, and Sweden/Denmark rivalries.

* SiblingRivalry: Common among the nation-personas. Some cases are Scotland and England, North and South Korea, and Ireland and North Ireland.

AllLoveIsUnrequited: Every nation has had a crush on another at one point. The love being reciprocated or not is another story.

ArchEnemy: England and France, America and the Soviet Union, Sweden and Denmark, Greece and the Ottoman Empire, Prussia and Austria, North and South Korea, China and Japan, the Roman Empire and Carthage…the list could go on forever. Basically, most nations have been at loggerheads with each other at some point.

AsianGalWithWhiteGuy: Kind of unavoidable with all the European and Asian countries. A gender-flipped example is America and Japan, while a straighter one is Russia with China.

BerserkButton: ''Never'' call any nation weak or cowardly to their face, or tell them that they or their people deserved their national tragedies.

BlondeBrunetteRedhead: America, France, and England (though the third's hair is more strawberry blond than actually red). True to the character types, England is fiery, France is smart, and while America isn't outright dumb, she can be pretty ditzy and is a bit BookDumb.

EmotionlessBoy: Russia gives off this impression.

LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There’s a personification of every nation, along with provinces, states, and that’s just the beginning. Not to mention the historical figures who show up from time to time.

MeaningfulName: Each of the nations choose their human names because of a significant figure in their history or folklore, or has one of the most well-known names from their country.

SiblingRivalry: Common among the nation-personas. Some cases are Scotland and England, North and South Korea, and Ireland and North Ireland.

WouldHitaGirl: Required for nations. In war, gender standards are practically nonexistent for them. Examples are the England/France, Spain/Portugal, America/Soviet Union, and Sweden/Denmark rivalries.

ActionGirl: All of the female nations are this or have a moment of it at one point, particularly America.

ADayInTheLimelight: It’s the goal of the series to make many comics, each focusing on one time in history, that always center around a different group of nations each time.

AllLoveisUnrequited: Every nation has had a crush on another at one point. The love being reciprocated or not is another story.

''"What history is for a human is an entire life for a nation. You are and are not human at the same time. You commit deeds that would make normal beings lose sleep at night, and suffer them as well. And there are no true friends among nations to ever confide in. If you can’t accept any of that, you will never become a successful nation."''
