History Webcomic / ScandinaviaandtheWorld

* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Hungary attempts to apply for a job that requires a black person - so he claims he identifies as black because he likes jazz.[[note]]The inspiration for the comic was an incident when a Hungarian opera house staged ''Theatre/PorgyAndBess'' with white actors who declared they identified with black culture, to get around the request of Creator/GeorgeGershwin that the play must only ever be performed by black actors.[[/note]]

* AmbiguousGender: [[http://satwcomic.com/no-surprise Thailand]]. Humon describes hir as "different from a trans woman in that they still often identify as male on some level", eventually just placing Thailand in the "third gender" category.

* [[{{Fanservice}} Playing to the Fetishes]]
** Denmark's not above playing on Sister Japan's YaoiFangirl fantasies to get her in his bed. [[http://satwcomic.com/suggestive-talk Much to Sister America's ire]] [[DieForOurShip since she does not ship Denmark×Germany]]. Or for a gag, as seen in [[http://satwcomic.com/tea-party-crasher "Tea Party Crasher."]]
** Sister Sweden apparently isn't really a dominatrix as such, but since that's what Finland's into...

* AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs: In spades. Regard Brother Finland's relationship with Sister Sweden. It is probably safe to say this sort of thing interests Humon. A lot.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: King Europe decides to build an extremely large telescope in Chile. He calls it... [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Extremely_Large_Telescope ''The European Extremely Large Telescope.'']]

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: King Europe decides to build an extremely large telescope in Chile. He calls it...[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Extremely_Large_Telescope ''The European Extremely Large Telescope.'']]

* TrivialTragedy: One strip has England accidentally touches Sister Denmark while stretching and immediately starts internally berating himself for being a perverse monster and a rapist, while applauding Sister Denmark's stoic dignity in the face of this vile harassment. England then go off to hand himself to the police in tears for his misconduct. Sister Denmark didn't even notice the contact.

* NiceHat: A lot of the countries have them.

* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Downplayed. [[http://satwcomic.com/what-a-nice-everything What a nice garden you've got here, Sweden."]]

** [[http://satwcomic.com/how-babies-are-made FennoSwede,]] whom Sweden concieved with Sister Finland while attempting to hide his homosexuality.
** [[http://satwcomic.com/who-s-your-daddy Scania,]] whom Denmark concieved with Sister Sweden. [[DisappearedDad Upon learning this, Sweden told Scania "your real father died in a horrible horrible car accident!"]]

* HeadbuttOfLove: [[http://satwcomic.com/mean-names Norway and Denmark pull of one of these.]] According to the author, it was because drawing them hugging would look weird in the comic's art style.

* IncestIsRelative:
** America has a lot with Canada, who is his adopted brother; England is America's birth father and adopted Canada from France.
** [[http://satwcomic.com/boys-are-such-weirdos Norway apparently slept with]] [[http://satwcomic.com/we-should-be-friends Jan Mayen.]]

* ArtShift: “[[https://satwcomic.com/slava-ukraini Slava Ukraini]]”, the comic written about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, is drawn in a more serious style with the characters having realistic proportions.

** It also happened when he was asked to speak German. Dude needs to invest in some phrase books.

* {{Atlantis}}: Appears, alongside various other mythological entities, in [[http://satwcomic.com/drunken-party "Drunken Party,"]] much to the confusion of all witnesses.

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Finland in [[http://satwcomic.com/the-day-after "The Day After."]] Averted in the full-sized drawings, where Humon blocks the naughty bits with little flags, but it's still evident that the characters have them. Averted in "boobs and a joint", where the flags are not included.

* BedmateReveal: In [[http://satwcomic.com/long-cold-nights "Long Cold Nights,"]] Sweden wakes up to find his bed pretty crowded.

* ArtShift: “[[https://satwcomic.com/slava-ukraini Slava Ukrani]]”, the comic written about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, is drawn in a more serious style with the characters having realistic proportions.

* UsefulNotes/BritainVersusTheUK: Subverted in the early comics; "England" seems to symbolise an overall British stereotype and wears a Union Jack shirt, but later on Ireland and Scotland show up and [[http://satwcomic.com/english-flag he explains he wears it because the Cross of St. George makes him look like a member of the Red Cross.]] Soon the comic switched to England wearing just the Cross of St. George, though Humon claims to have made the switch because it's easier to draw.

* FollowTheLeader: The author [[SincerestFormOfFlattery admitted to starting this]] comic after disagreeing with the Scandinavian depictions in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''.

* AllMenArePerverts / AllWomenAreLustful: In this universe, almost everyone is a pervert to some degree. Except, notably, England, [[http://satwcomic.com/monster as seen in "Monster,"]] and Norway, although considering he is friends with Denmark and eagerly looks at the porn magazine handed to him in the first comic, he may be a case of ChivalrousPervert.

An unofficial spinoff that focuses on the American States can be found [[http://kyrtuck.deviantart.com/gallery/43308914/GLAA here]]

* {{Megane}}: Sweden; Åland; Belgium

* DiegeticVisualEffects: Iceland is constantly accompanied by BishieSparkle. In one strip, it turns out that this is a physical substance, and other characters can borrow it to look more bishie themselves.
