[[folder:The Alpine Confederation (Founding Members)]]
!!Switzerland/Vash Zwingli[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suisu_by_rosel_d-d5g46vc_7109.png]]
* AloofBigBrother: Averted. He may try to act the part, but when it comes to his sister and even Austria, it doesn't really hold up.
* CrazyPrepared: If the alarm systems, emergency measures and constant need to have guns close by don't give it away. Not to mention TruthInTelevision, also considering the fairly lax gun laws and mandated fallout shelters scattered across the Alps.
* CruelToBeKind: He was responsible for destroying most of the outward evidence directly linked to Austria's secret relationship with Hungary early on after Doomsday. This was done not only to protect Austria's reputation but also in the belief that there's no one waiting for him at the other end. He was right...[[SubvertedTrope sort of.]]
* [[DotingParent Doting Adoptive Brother]]: He remains ''very'' caring towards Liechtenstein. Even after their [[NotBloodSiblings relationship took on]] [[BrotherSisterIncest a different turn]], he still considers her his little sister.
* TheFettered: Switzerland sticks to a particularly disciplined if fervent interpretation of "freedom" and "independence." One has to wonder what he would be like without Liechtenstein or even Austria to rein him in.
* TheGunslinger: He always has a firearm with him at all times. ''Always.''
* HairTriggerTemper: While he ''tries'' to keep it under control, his temper is still very short.
* HiddenDepths: He's shown to be considerate to those close to him, even if it's in his own way.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: He privately regrets his involvement in certain things, even though it was for the good of himself, his sister and to a degree, Austria.
* IWorkAlone: He believes in the idea that Nations only have themselves alone to rely on. At least [[{{Hypocrite}} in]] [[IfItsYouItsOkay theory]].
* IfItsYouItsOkay: He is particularly ([[NotBloodSiblings and intimately]]) affectionate towards Liechtenstein (and on close terms with Austria) despite his otherwise {{Jerkass}} facade.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Whenever he wants to be, at least.
* KnightInSourArmor: He does care for others, though it's not quite so obvious beneath his {{Jerkass}} facade.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: He will make sure that ''nothing'' harms Liechtenstein.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: The decision to keep refugees out at gunpoint early after Doomsday is ''not'' [[WhatTheHellHero something he or the other Alpines are proud of]]. Even he wonders outright whether it was the right thing to do.
* PanickyExpectantFather: He's revealed to be this somewhat whenever the topic of [[BrotherSisterIncest their]] child-and-successor is brought up.
* RealMenWearPink: He can be remarkably gentle, though usually if it just involves Liechtenstein or ''maybe'' Austria.
* TechnicalPacifist: Aside from his self-professed neutrality, he's ''very'' skilled in combat.
* TriggerHappy: If you're an enemy, he ''might'' give you a chance to walk away before firing a gun. Probably, though given what he's had to put up with, it's justified.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Austria at the very least. He does care for him, though is not so straightforward about it.

!!Liechtenstein/Lili Vogel[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lili_by_rosel_d-d5g46w8_7384.png]]
* ACupAngst: Averted due to her growth.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She really is gentle and sweet in general. Though she can also be hard and very firm whenever she has to be. It does come with being the center of the Confederation.
* BlueBlood: In a sense, due to her connection with her ruling dynasty.
* CovertPervert: Turns out she isn't ''exactly'' as [[TheIngenue pure and innocent]] as her facade would lead you to believe.
* CrazyPrepared: She has a military-grade ''fallout shelter'' right under her house. She learned a ''lot'' from her brother.
* DotingParent: Hinted as being this in ''The Vanishing Shadows.''
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: She does this verbally to Switzerland.
* TheHeart: Of the Alpine Confederation. Figuratively and Literally.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She wasn't entirely faultless in what they've done to the refugees after Doomsday.
* IWorkAlone: Not to the same degree as her brother though.
* TheIngenue: At least that's how she presents herself as, although there's more than a hint of truth behind that facade.
* MoralityPet: She's this to Switzerland and arguably Austria.
* MythologyGag: Her human last name is a nod to one of [[WordOfGod Himaruya's suggestions]]. She also wears the same outfit from ''Manga/Hetaween2011'' in one of the fics.
* OldMaid: Subverted in the future scenes, as she "ages" much slower than Austria and even Switzerland. She's described as still pretty much as she always looked, with a few slight wrinkles.
* NotBloodSiblings: She uses this to justify where her relationship with Switzerland is headed.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Following Doomsday, she's shown to have physically grown older, looking even more like a lady. Justified in-verse due to her increased power and eventual role as the heart of the Alpine Confederation.
* PluckyGirl: Like she's always been, though even more so after the bombs fell. All while still maintaining the image of an innocent if wise-beyond-her-years lady.
* ProperLady: Despite the age-up, her innocent yet mature facade survives intact. She even wears slightly older versions of her regular dresses.
* SiblingYinYang: Compared to Switzerland, she's considerably more gentle and caring.
* SilkHidingSteel: She can be very assertive and forceful whenever she wants to...and all done with a (usually) calm, mature voice. It's also telling that there are hints that she would be the last one of the original Alpines to pass on.
* TechnicalPacifist: She's quite diplomatic, though there are hints of Switzerland's influence rubbing off on her.

!!Austria/Roderich Edelstein[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/osutoriasan_by_rosel_d-d5g46w2_1409.png]]
* AnxietyDreams: The years had taken their toll on even his subconscious. And from the looks of his dreams and nightmares, it isn't a very stable or sane one either.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: It's strongly implied that he managed to hold his own against invading soldiers during Doomsday. Likewise it's revealed through dreams and the raid he leads on a wasteland camp that he's no stranger to battle either.
* BlingOfWar: He prefers to go to battle in old-style dress uniforms.
* BlueBlood: Like in ''Hetalia'', he composes himself in public like the long-extinct nobility. Usually.
* BrokenBird: Possibly, which is later confirmed.
* CovertPervert: Turns out he and Hungary did (and still do) ''much'' more when it comes to expressing their love for one another. He's also shown to have a rather peculiar sense of romance in private.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Crossed with TranquilFury. When push comes to shove, Austria can be ''frightening'' in action. Justified both in-verse and in real life.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He considers and tries to justify some elements of his "predicament" as some of his less noble acts finally catching up to him. Also lampshaded when he mentioned that he's done some "regrettable deeds" in the past.
* DespairEventHorizon: He comes close to this, with the revelation of his wife's death almost driving him off the deep end.
* TheDeterminator: Compared to the other Alpines, he took in a ''lot'' of punishment from Doomsday.
* DissonantSerenity: There's a ''lot'' more going on beneath that composed exterior. He can also sound composed ([[NotSoStoic for the most part]]) even while threatening to shoot someone.
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Justified, due to him having ''witnessed'' the past centuries.
* ElegantClassicalMusician: He could play the piano masterfully, invoking the great composers almost entirely from memory.
* ErmineCapeEffect: Subverted. Doomsday left little use for fancy clothes, with Austria using old suits and outfits for the most part. Later on averted when he goes into a battle wearing an old dress uniform from his Imperial days.
* FashionDissonance: He's usually seen wearing suits and outfits that wouldn't look out of place in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI or just about ''any'' time before Doomsday.
* TheFettered: He holds himself in check through sheer force of habit as well as his love for his people, Sopron and Hungary.
* FightingFromTheInside: By 2009, his internal struggle for his own sanity has started to turn against him. Until Hungary finally intervened.
* FirstGrayHair: He experiences this initially to his horror, as it signifies the beginnings of his eventual demise.
* GloryDays: He's hasn't forgotten his old Imperial days as a major power. Even before Doomsday, he's shown to have lost a little of his touch, which only serves to emphasize how far he's gone.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: ''Very'' much so. Though it doesn't stop him from acting and composing himself like an aristocrat.
* KeepingSecretSucks: He's afraid of telling Sopron outright that he's her father, for fear of what this could do to her and their relationship. That is, until ''The Vanishing Shadows'', which has him voicing out the fact that she's his daughter.
* KnightInSourArmor: His public facade can come across as stern and aloof, though he really does try to live up to his virtues.
* TheMourningAfter: He never really got over what happened with Hungary, although he ''does'' eventually try to move on.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Takes on a more depressing tone due to Doomsday. That said though, when push comes to shove he ''can'' find his way around.
* NotAfraidToDie: It's implied to be the case in the future. Especially since he knows ''who'' is waiting for him at the other end.
* NotSoStoic: As the years pass, he finds it harder to repress the swelling grief. The same happens if someone were to threaten anyone dear to him.
* PapaBear: He's ''really'' trying to be a good parent-figure to Sopron.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: in the future fics, he's shown visibly aging. This is meant to reflect his slow-burning slide into oblivion.
* RealMenWearPink: He is shown to be sensitive and caring despite the stiff exterior. And he also seems to enjoy gardening, music and other "un-manly" things, in contrast to Prussia.
%%* Reality Ensues: "I missed her."
* ReluctantWarrior: He's seen his share of war. And while he doesn't particularly ''enjoy'' fighting, he notes wryly how he seems to have become rather good at it.
* SanitySlippage: Time wasn't kind to his state of mind, although he never outright slips into complete insanity. It is also subverted in that he ''does'' eventually get better.
* SeenItAll: While it seems to come with being a Nation, it tends to be more apparent given the hints of weariness about him.
* StepfordSmiler: Even if he's screaming inside or suffering from one ''very'' bad nightmare, he won't show it for all the world to see.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: In private or with those closest to him, he does show his softer side.
* SupremeChef: He has a particular knack for cooking and baking.
* SwordAndGun: Apparently his weapons of choice are an old Luger pistol from [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI the two]] [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII world wars]] and a saber from his Imperial days.
* TimeAbyss: He's mentioned as suffering at least a mild version of this. In addition to subtly growing weary, it's also revealed that he was slowly forgetting even Hungary's voice, to his horror.
* TookALevelInBadass: He clearly hasn't forgotten his old days as an Empire.
* TragicKeepsake: Hungary's flower and remains, after finding them.
* UptightLovesWild: His relationship with Hungary is like this, though he's not ''always'' so uptight himself.
* WeakButSkilled: Despite being frail and at times even sickly, he still retains centuries' worth of experience in various fields.

!!Alpine Confederation/Hans Zwingli-Vogel
* AllThereInTheManual: He's mentioned here and there in fics set further into the future as [[BrotherSisterIncest Switzerland and Liechtenstein's child]]. Although there are hints already present on his eventual role.
* ChangingOfTheGuard / PassingTheTorch: It's lampshaded by Liechtenstein herself that he would ultimately replace the Alpines altogether as the embodiment of the entire Confederation. Although it's also mentioned that his parents would still be around for quite some time yet.
* TheFederation: He would represent the Alpines as one Nation.
* GenerationXerox: There are hints that he would inherit at least some of Switzerland's more {{Jerkass}} aspects along with Liechtenstein's gentleness.
* OriginalCharacter
* {{Tsundere}}: He's described as something like this crossed with JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

[[folder:Central Europe]]
!!Prussia/Gilbert Beilschmidt[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/preussen_by_rosel_d-d5g46vj_8560.png]]
* ToAbsentFriends: During Austria's wedding anniversary, he offers a toast to Hungary. Though it's implied that she may not have been ''entirely'' absent.
* AngstWhatAngst: He ''tries'' pretending being this.
* AttentionWhore: Some of his antics and even the "[[NoodleIncident Polish Adventure]]" could be chalked up as efforts to make his name known to the world at large.
* TheAtoner: He's trying to be a guiding figure to the German wastes to make up for just about all his past wrongs.
* AwesomeEgo: His pompous, seemingly self-absorbed antics aren't ''entirely'' full of hot air.
* {{Beergasm}}: ''Really'' likes his beer, to Austria's perpetual annoyance.
* BerserkButton: Much of his days as UsefulNotes/EastGermany. Given his experiences in the Cold War and the lack of any real ''Ostalgie'' for the DDR, it's justified in-verse. And for a time, any mention of his brother's death.
* BloodKnight: He still has some shades of this, especially in battle. His own king even had to make sure he ''didn't'' have any weapons in his meeting with Poland.
* BreakTheHaughty: He did not take his brother's death or those of France and Belgium all that well. At all.
* BrokenBird: Probably, though like Austria, he tries to hide it.
* ButtMonkey: He's clearly trying ''not'' to be. Though he doesn't get much respite if Hungary or her daughter's around.
* CombatPragmatist: While he does enjoy a good honest fight, he's not above using anything on hand (like ''grenades'') when push comes to shove.
* CulturalPosturing: Though not ''that'' excessive, he doesn't hesitate pointing how awesome Prussian people, culture and achievements are, not to mention himself.
* DaysOfFuturePast: Lampshaded, with Prussia noting how Doomsday, for all its chaos had ironically given him and his people another lease on life.
* TheDeterminator: Not even a nuclear war could end him. It's also strongly implied that he's going to be around for quite a while. Still, it wasn't easy at all.
* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Like Austria, it's justified. He can still remember and conjure up memories that would be considered footnotes in a history book.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Implied, which isn't helped by his preferred car of choice being the [[TheAllegedCar East German Trabant]].
* FightingForAHomeland: How he and his leaders try to justify the "Polish Adventure."
* GasMaskMooks: His first impression is as being like one. It probably helps that he actually ''has'' an old gas mask on hand.
* GloryDays: Something like that is starting to return for him, although he still misses the old days.
* GlorySeeker: He's determined to regain his old power by ''any'' means necessary
* HeroicBSOD: Implied to have experienced this upon finding out that France, Holland, Belgium and his own brother are long dead.
* HiddenDepths: He does have a sensible and reasonable side besides all the HotBlooded antics, as well as being smarter than he's usually credited for. If his meeting with Sopron is anything, he's also friendly to kids.
* HotBlooded: He tends to find hamming it up easy.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He tries to be and for the most part succeeds, though not exactly as he would want it.
* IncomingHam: How he's introduced.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He shows this to both Austria and North Germany.
* {{Keet}}: His outward persona still exhibits this trope.
* KnightInSourArmor: He ''does'' have a firm sense of honor. Except that he tends to present it very differently and more brashly compared to Austria.
* LargeHam: As always.
* ManChild: He tries being a bit more mature, but nobody's really fooled.
* ThePollyanna: His pompous and at times obnoxious behavior seems to be an attempt to hide his real feelings.
* PostApunkalypticArmor: Not really armor, but his outfit when he meets Austria again after Doomsday could be described as a rough mishmash of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and Cold War (East) German uniforms.
* RealMenWearPink: Not as obvious as Poland or even Austria, though he does seem to have a soft spot for children.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are notably red.
* StepfordSmiler: Shows traces of this ''especially'' if something involves his brother.
* TragicKeepsake: He still keeps his old Iron Cross, which is nigh identical to the one his brother wore.
* TookALevelInBadass: Somewhat subverted with the "[[NoodleIncident Polish Adventure]],'' but he's shown to be tougher and more resilient than he looks.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Hinted with Hungary, which partly explains why he's not quite on good terms with Austria (at first anyway). Although he does come to terms with the couple over all that.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Austria. Despite having been rivals and enemies for so long, it's telling that they recognize each other for what it really is. He's also this in a way with Hungary.
* WhatTheHellHero: The "[[NoodleIncident Polish Adventure]]" wasn't exactly his ''best'' decision.
* WhosLaughingNow: He takes pride in not only surviving Doomsday but actually ''thriving.'' Although later on, it does get a bittersweet overtone.

!!North Germany/Hilda Beilschmidt[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hilda_by_rosel_d-d5g46we_7915.png]]
* ActionGirl: Out of necessity.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
* DefrostingIceQueen: It takes a bit of time, but she is much nicer to those she knows.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Like Germany, she's implied to be this.
* {{Expy}}: She's based at least in part on [[GenderBending Nyotalia!]]Germany.
* ImprovisedClothes: She's described as wearing a surplus NATO officer's uniform left over from the UsefulNotes/ColdWar...which doesn't exactly match her size.
* NotSoStoic: Upon revealing just what ''really'' happened to West Germany.
* OriginalCharacter
* PerpetualFrowner: She's never seen smiling ''at all.''
* {{Tsundere}}: At least with Prussia.

!!Poland/Feliks Łukasiewicz[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poland_by_rosel_d-d5g46vv_4868.png]]
* BerserkButton: Mentioning his experiences of the Cold War, ''especially'' if it has anything to do with Communists is not advised.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Not only did he soundly give Prussia a beating despite technically losing in the "Polish Adventure." But it's implied that Prussia's dream-visit by Hungary was partly his idea.
* TheDeterminator: Surviving a nuclear war ''and'' having your very people divided into two camps isn't easy at all.
* EnemyWithin: Like in the [[Literature/NineteenEightyThreeDoomsday source material]], Poland's split between a Communist West and Democratic East...both claiming to be the same country. This is translated in him developing a virtual split personality.
* GloryDays: While not exactly on the same level as Prussia or Austria, he clearly misses his days as a great power and doesn't hesitate to bring up the Battle of Grunwald.
* HeterosexualLifePartners / PlatonicLifePartners: He's this with Hungary due to their historical ties.
* HiddenDepths: Even without his usual facade, there's a lot more to him than meets the eye. Though some of those things aren't exactly pleasant.
* HoYay: Hinted at with Lithuania.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He's implied to have some feelings for Hungary. Still, he remains very supportive of bringing her and Austria back together.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Like in ''Hetalia'', he's pretty flexible about what "manliness" is. Such as his clear disdain for his drab uniform.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Hungary.
* LikeIsLikeAComma: He usually talks like this.
* MoralityPet: Lithuania is hinted as being this for him, though not the only one.
* TheQuisling: He's forced to go along with his Communist minders if only in the hopes of outlasting them and eventually reuniting his people.
* SanitySlippage: Like Austria, he doesn't go outright insane. But the bombs ''did'' drive him mad for a while after Doomsday.
* SplitPersonalityMerge: What Poland hopes to pull off in order to reunify all his people.
* TranquilFury: The moment he starts talking without his usual mannerisms, things get ''very'' uncomfortable.
* ValleyGirl: Yes, he keeps the accent. At least when he's ''not'' angry.
* {{Yandere}}: Doomsday didn't do any wonders to his personality. Although he does get noticeably better after learning of Lithuania's survival.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The British Isles]]
!!England-United Kingdom/Arthur Kirkland
* TheDeterminator: He manages to survive long enough to see his own successors together one last time.
* GoOutWithASmile: He dies smiling contently.
* KingInTheMountain: He's implied to be the focus of worship for [[AllHailTheGreatGodMickey the Cult of the Once and Future King]] and other "Albionists."
* NotAfraidToDie: By ''Death of a Nation'', he's shown to be largely at peace with the prospect of dying at last.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: If the world has moved on, so must he.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: His introduction explicitly reveals that he ''knows'' his death is coming.

!!Cleveland/William Kirkland
* BigBrotherInstinct: Do not mess with his siblings.
* BigBrotherMentor: To the other Survivor-Nations in the former United Kingdom.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: His own people took good care of him after he was found in a refugee camp.
* TheUnintelligible: Clevish, his local dialect is described as virtually impossible to understand for a standard English-speaker. Somewhat subverted in that he can, and does, speak standard English when he has to.
%%* OriginalCharacter
%%* PowerfulPick: His weapon of choice.
* TakeUpMySword: He takes up England's human last name in his memory.

!!Rheged
%%* AllThereInTheManual

* OriginalCharacter

!!Southern England
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* {{Expy}}: England ''himself'' describes him as bearing a very close resemblance, though considerably younger and more brooding.
* OriginalCharacter

!!Celtic Alliance-Ireland and Scotland
* AllThereInTheManual: Some of their personality quirks and cultural traits are in the source material.
* BerserkButton: It's not a good idea to call them British or bring up the former United Kingdom, as much as they too respect England.
* TheFederation: They increasingly act like this.
* HandsomeLech: It's implied that Scotland is one.
* HotBlooded: Both Ireland and Scotland have some signs of this.
* PromotionToParent: With England's death.
* {{Scotireland}}: They represent the dominant elements of the Celtic Alliance.
* SiblingTeam: Comes with being the two leading Nations in the Alliance.

[[folder:The Hungarian Wastes]]
!!Hungary/Elizaveta Héderváry[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elizaveta_by_rosel_d-d5pjlug_3652.png]]
[[labelnote:Click here for her ''far'' less pleasant form]][[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deathangel_elizaveta_by_rosel_d-d5pjlu3_1874.png]][[/labelnote]]
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Post-death, she usually tries to appear as when she's still alive. But while successful for the most part, she's not afraid to let slip hints of her true form through it...not to mention change to a more decayed version if need be.
* ActionGirl: Neither the Cold War nor dying kept her from being good at fighting. She's revealed to have since become an ActionMom as well.
* AnimalMotifs: She disguises herself by taking the form of a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turul Turul]].''
* BackFromTheDead: While she ''is'' technically dead, that hasn't stopped her from coming back to visit the living.
* BadassAdorable: Whether dead or alive, she's very capable in fighting.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As Prussia finds out ''very'' soundly enough.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Whenever in her military uniform, which like in ''Hetalia'' is markedly more masculine.
* BloodKnight: On a ''very'' bad day, she still shows signs of this.
* BodyHorror: Her corpse-form is described as nauseating to at least Prussia and some humans. It likewise seems to finally break Austria.
* BoisterousBruiser: She's still this, apparently. Even after death.
* BrokenBird: At least in her final days. Despite that, she refused take the easy way out until her last breath.
* ChainmailBikini: Yes, she ''does'' show up once in her old pseudo-medieval armor.
* CovertPervert: She is by no means an innocent, delicate flower.
* {{Chickification}}: Averted. Like in the source material, she's shown to be strong and masculine despite the GirlinessUpgrade. She even tells Austria outright that she ''chose'' undergoing the painful ordeal by her own will.
* DeathByDisfigurement: She's described in her last days alive as being burned and scarred virtually beyond recognition, apart from the flower in her hair.
* DeathGlare: Almost literally, when she's ''really'' pissed off.
* TheDeterminator: Turns out that not even death could stop her.
* DreamWeaver: In a sense. She's definitely found a way to not only enter others' dreams but also interact with them while inside.
* DyingAlone: Hungary dies just short of reaching Sopron. And it would be several years before Austria learns of it.
* FlowerMotifs: The flower in her hair, representing Lake Balaton, is one of the constants that survived her death. It's also mentioned that its physical form was passed on to Sopron by Austria.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Still her favorite weapon.
* GirlyBruiser: She's not afraid to look feminine or wear dresses...though that doesn't stop her from being very intimidating and formidable.
* HeterosexualLifePartners / PlatonicLifePartners: She's like this with Poland.
* GuardianAngel: Takes on this role for both her children and Austria. Though it's not until later on that this becomes "official."
* IfItsYouItsOkay: There are hints that she's normally not the sort to be in a close, intimate relationship. Unless if it involves Austria.
* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: She's long past the fear of dying. For obvious reasons.
* ItsPersonal: She does ''not'' take kindly to anyone harming her and those dear to her.
* MamaBear: You do ''not'' want to harm ''any'' of her children. [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Or her ex-husband for that matter.]]
* MythologyGag: She's described as wearing both her ChainmailBikini (the one Himaruya himself drew) and {{Bifauxnen}} costume from ''Manga/Hetaween2011.''
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Poland.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Starts out her (un)life as a CuteGhostGirl. Later becomes OurAngelsAreDifferent
* NightmareFetishist: She knows how to freak people out. The forms she takes when not physically there are also described as "unnerving," although she could also legitimately frighten people is she has to drive a point home.
* NinjaMaid: While not an actual maid outfit, some of her clothes, which are based on Hungarian country/folk dresses can give this impression.
* PluckyGirl: An older example.
* PosthumousCharacter: In a way.
* SeenItAll: Unlike Austria though, it doesn't really keep her down.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Yes, despite all that's happened, her heart is ''still'' Austrian territory.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Her usual appearances are pleasing to the eyes, whether she's wearing a country dress or a military outfit. Though even more so if she chooses to let slip her "actual" form.
* SweetPollyOliver: Her uniform tends to be masculine enough to give this impression.
* TookALevelInBadass: If she wasn't ''already'' one alive, she's definitely gotten more powerful if a bit unhinged after death.
* TranquilFury: She's just as capable of pulling this off, though it's ''never'' a good idea to get her to that point.
* {{Troll}}: She's not above pulling pranks or scares in her current state. ''Especially'' if it involves Prussia.
* TheUnfettered: Since Hungary's technically dead and unhindered by physical limitations, it's not such a good idea to push her into reaching that threshold.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Prussia. Sort of.
* YaoiFangirl: Turns out that Heaven had ''more'' than enough to soothe her fangirlness.

!!Sopron/Julia Edelstein-Héderváry[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/julia_by_rosel_d-d5pjluc_7943.png]]
* BreakTheCutie: The chaos following Doomsday ''really'' threatened to drive her mad, although she manages to fight it off. Thanks also in part to her parents.
* ButNotTooForeign: She's part Austrian, figuratively and literally.
* ChildProdigy: How others, namely humans see her, given her odd talent for playing music. It's partly due to taking after her father.
* CheerfulChild: At least she tries to be, though not exactly to the same degree as Sealand. Although like him, she's not exactly recognized as a full-fledged Nation.
* CovertPervert: She definitely knows more than what a kid "her age" ought to have. Much like her mother.
* CuteBruiser: She's ''not'' just a kid.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Though at least her mother does spend as much time with her as she could.
* TheDeterminator: She ''isn't'' one to give up so easily. Not even being kidnapped and drugged in ''The Vanishing Shadows'' was enough to break her.
* FlowerMotifs: There are hints that she's inherited Hungary's flower, representing Lake Balaton.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: In many ways.
* LittleMissBadass: In the process of following her mother's footsteps as an ActionGirl. Although she's not ''quite'' there yet.
* MysteriousPast: She barely remembers anything of her actual "birth."
* TheOjou: Has shades of this, as well as being somewhat sheltered by the Alpines. Helped in part by her father's influence.
* PluckyGirl: She's very lively and persistent despite her Austrian upbringing.
* ThePollyanna: There are hints of this in her otherwise upbeat personality. Not even being kidnapped and scarred does anything to really break her.
* OriginalCharacter
* ScavengerWorld: TheEighties weren't very kind to her in the slightest.
* StreetUrchin: Her first appearance gives the impression though not necessarily the attitude, as she's shown wearing old, tattered clothes.
* {{Tsundere}}: She has some shades of this when it comes to her half-brother, Partium.

!!Partium/Janos Héderváry[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/partium_by_rosel_d-d5pjlua_4243.png]]
* ButNotTooForeign: He has some Romanian/Transylvanian influences.
* CheerfulChild: On a good day, though not to the same degree as his half-sister.
* ChildSoldiers: Implied to be one himself out of necessity.
* CulturalPosturing: He likes to see himself as Hungary's ''true'' successor compared to his half-sister Sopron.
* CuteBruiser: He still has some cute looks despite his background in fighting.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: He's shown to have at least some respect and admiration for his dead mother. Especially once he realizes that she's been there all along.
* TheDeterminator: Just like his mother.
* {{Expy}}: He resembles a younger [[GenderBending Nyotalia!]]Hungary.
* GenerationXerox: He's also taking quite a few things from his mother, to Transylvania's dismay.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not exactly the nicest person in the neighborhood, nor the most stable. Yet he sincerely cares about his people and does show gratitude to Transylvania.
* JustAKid: How Transylvania tends to see him.
* MysteriousPast: Like Sopron, he has little to no recollection of his actual "birth."
* OriginalCharacter
* ScavengerWorld: Even compared to Sopron, he had to make do with whatever was there in the ruins.
* SiblingYinYang: Implied between him and Sopron.
* {{Tsundere}}: To Transylvania. And possibly his half-sister.
* YoungGun: He definitely ''tries'' to live up to his lofty standards.

!!Transylvania/Vlad[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlad_by_rosel_d-d5pjlu5_8964.png]]
* {{Expy}}: Has some shades of Romania.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not the nicest person to be around, but he does try to care for Partium...as much as he outwardly denies it.
* OnlyOneName: His last name isn't mentioned, at least.
* OriginalCharacter
* ResentfulGuardian: To a degree. He's shown to have some resentment towards Hungary, which is a nod to her troubled history with Romania.
* {{Tsundere}}: To Partium.
* {{Uberwald}}: His persona and appearance have some shades of this, complete with little fangs.

[[folder:The French Wastelands]]
!!The Duchy of Orleans/[[HistoricalDomainCharacter Jeanne d'Arc]]
* ActionGirl: She's hinted as one even in her Survivor-Nation form. The ''Gendamerie'' uniform she's shown wearing definitely gives this impression though. And further justified by her people having to live so close to the irradiated ruins of Paris.
* TheDeterminator: She and her people were very much this out of necessity due to being in one of the places worse-affected by Doomsday.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: After a fashion.
* JeanneDArchetype: The TropeNamer herself, or rather her "reborn" form. It also helps that she's still upholding her duty to God and country.
* OutdatedOutfit‎: She's shown wearing an old ''Gendamerie'' uniform that would be considered conservative even by someone's grandparents.
* [[RealMenLoveJesus Real Former Heroines Love Jesus]]: Even in her "present" form, she's still religious. To the point that she's uncomfortable at the notion of people praising her, saint or otherwise.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Sort of, as even the "reborn" Jeanne isn't sure how it works. What's definitely certain is though that she's ''different'' even if she retains memories from her past life.
* SubordinateExcuse / ReincarnationRomance: She's strongly implied to have really fallen for France...and is still in love with him.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: It's made clear that Orleans doesn't want anyone to praise or worship her especially given her past and present identity as a saint. She would rather like to go about her "new" life and role peacefully.

!!France/Francis Bonnefoy
* AllThereInTheManual: He hasn't shown up yet in the AU, though his presence is still around.
* BackFromTheDead: Orleans implies that he's not ''really'' gone.
* PosthumousCharacter / DeadAllAlong: He died shortly after Doomsday. That said, it's hinted that his fate may be similar to Hungary's.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Rest of Europe]]
!!Greece/Heracles Karpusi
* BrilliantButLazy: For someone who's managed to survive Doomsday against difficult odds, he still has a knack for sleeping.
* KindheartedCatLover: It's mentioned that he really loves cats.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's become even more like his mother, Ancient Greece/Byzantium.

!!Sweden/Berwald Oxenstierna
* GetItOverWith: He's mentioned as wanting to get back to [[HoYay his wife]] during the peace talks between Prussia and Poland.
* HoYay: With Finland.

!!Sicilian Republic/Lovino Vargas
* AllThereInTheManual: Despite playing a significant part in Alpine relations, he's yet to actually show up.
* BerserkButton: Apparently, any mention about his late brother's territory belonging to anyone ''but'' himself.
* ButtMonkey: Somewhat. Despite being much more villainous, thanks in part to his bosses, he's not ''that'' good in fighting.
* CurbStompBattle: His squabble with the Alpines and their Survivor-Nation allies hasn't gone all that well.
* {{Jerkass}}: At least that's how the Alpines come to see him.
* TheMafia: Mentioned as being his bosses.
* TriggerHappy: Strongly implied to be this.
* {{Yandere}}: He ''didn't'' take Italy's fate all that well.

!!Spain/Antonio Fernandez Carriedo
* DotingParent: He still treats Romano/Sicily like family. Even going so far as to defend him despite South Italy having turned into a Mafia-run mess.
* PerpetualSmiler: Due to Doomsday, it's gotten harder for Spain to keep it up, though he still tries.


[[/folder]]

[[folder:Asia]]
!!Japan/Kiku Honda
* BerserkButton: It's not a good idea to mention America in his presence. Justified, given how Japan in ''1983: Doomsday'' was attacked in part due to the American bases on Japanese soil.
* FashionDissonance: He tends to wear kimonos and old uniforms.
* {{Hikkikomori}}: Years of renewed isolation have made him sort of like this.
* JapanesePoliteness: He still tries to put up appearances. Though even ''that'' has its limits.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Still his preferred weapon.
* KimonoIsTraditional: As a nod to the source materials, he's also shown wearing one while at home.
* NotSoStoic: As his confrontation with Russia reveals.
* SanitySlippage: Having a nuclear attack happen to your people can do that, although he's shown as still ''mostly'' sane.
* TranquilFury: He ''can'' vent his anger calmly...to a point.
* {{Yandere}}: Decades of repressed tension can also do that.

!!Russia-USSR/Ivan Braginsky
* AndIMustScream: Ivan has a ''lot'' of weight to carry.
* TheAtoner: He wants so much to make up for his involvement in Doomsday.
* HesJustHiding: And with [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten good]] [[SinsOfOurFathers reason]].
* HuskyRusskie: He's described as still being large and strong-built.
* MadeOfIron: He was strong enough to survive the full brunt of Doomsday, at least physically.
* [[TheManBehindTheMan The Man Behind his Successor]]: He's really raising his own successor, Siberia to fully take his place while ''she'' represents the Soviets to the outside world.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Probably helped in surviving Doomsday...though just barely.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While he wasn't directly involved in the events that triggered Doomsday, he still feels strong guilt over it all.
* PsychopathicManchild: More downplayed. But he's clearly a bit ''out there'', which makes his darker episodes more jarring.
* StepfordSmiler: It notably slips twice. One where he "retires" his leader. The other when recalling Ukraine's fate through his scarf.
* SurvivorGuilt: While he survived Doomsday, the implication that he helped in bringing about the apocalypse and killing many other Nations has not done him any favors.
* TragicKeepsake: The now-burnt scarf Ukraine made for him has become this.
* TranquilFury: It's ''never'' a good idea to see him at that state.
* {{Yandere}}: One can't ever be really sure whether he really is trying to be nice or planning on killing someone.

!!Socialist Siberia/Anya Braginsky
* AllThereInTheManual: Apart from being mentioned, she's yet to make an appearance.
* {{BilingualBonus}}: She's described by Russia as fluent in Chinese. Justified in that Siberia is mentioned as bilingually Russian and Chinese in the source material.
* ChangingOfTheGuard: In progress, with Russia guiding her.
* {{Expy}}: She's mentioned as resembling a younger [[GenderBending Nyotalia!]]Russia.
* OriginalCharacter
[[/folder]]

[[folder:North America]]
!!United States of America/Alfred F. Jones
* TheAtoner: Quickly realizes what he and his people's actions would do to the world at large. Unfortunately, it's already too late.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He ''was'' one of the instigators of Doomsday after all.
* BoisterousBruiser: If he's going down, he'd at least take all those [[DirtyCommunists Commies]] along with him. Subverted.
* DeadAllAlong: He's ''very'' much dead.
* TheDitz: He has some hints of this.
* {{Eagleland}}: A mixture of both, [[PatrioticFervor with a lot of feeling]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: And ''how.''
* {{Keet}}: His usual attitude could be described as child-like. And as the Halloween-themed fic showed, he ''still'' can't read the atmosphere.
* LargeHam: He seemed to have taken UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt's lessons to heart.
* NightmareRetardant: Compared to Hungary, he can't ''scare'' people for the (un)life of him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Of Doomsday, alongside Russia. By that point however, he had no choice ''but'' to see the end of the world through.

!!Canadian Remainder Provinces/Matthew Williams
* BewareTheNiceOnes: There's a good reason why he's both a major powerhouse post-Doomsday and one of the only Nations who could call out America.
* BrokenBird: Hinted at. Apparently, he didn't quite take America's death all too well, as much as he blames him for Doomsday.
* ButtMonkey: At times, he just can't catch a break.
* MistakenIdentity: Averted. With America's death, ''no one'' mistakes Canada for his brother. Usually, anyway.
* OnlySaneMan: Tries being this to his allies and relatives.
* SiblingYinYang: Still has this dynamic with America even after death.
* TookALevelInBadass: Since Doomsday, he's become one of the major powers on the North American and even global stage.
* VerbalTic: He still says "Maple!" along with "eh."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Human Citizens and Leaders]]
* ADayInTheLimelight / AscendedExtra: They too get their due in the fics, including their own stories, with the Nations themselves more than acknowledging their roles in the bigger picture.
* AudienceSurrogate: Many of the human protagonists, given how they wind up in the Nations' lives in one way or another.
* CanonImmigrant:
** Jean Burnel, a horror writer from a French survivor-nation, is shown to be the same one from [[http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Literature_(1983:_Doomsday) the source material]].
** Dr. Cayne Armand, the envoy visiting the survivor-nation of Orleans is also from the [[http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Duchy_of_Orl%C3%A9ans_(1983:_Doomsday) source timeline]].
* TheEveryman: Jean Burnel. Although this is somewhat subverted in that he's something of an accomplished novelist who hasn't quite gotten the hang of his own popularity in-verse, as well as being an (unwilling) accomplice in Sopron's kidnapping. But when compared to the Nations, he's pretty much the closest to this trope.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Col. Viktor Andrei ''tries'' being this, which only comes across as even more forced.
* GenerationXerox: Austria's aides are mentioned as belonging to the same family line that's been in his employ for generations.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Some of them.
* HumanoidAbomination: How at least some muggles see the nature of the Nations.
* IntrepidReporter: Jean Burnel in ''The Vanishing Shadows'' is this in a sense, given his original intention of researching the Hungarian Wastes. He got more than he bargained for.
* TheMasquerade: Apparently, only a handful of people outside of the government and select groups know of who/what the Nations really are. This is mixed in with an unspoken "gentleman's agreement," explaining why the rest of the world is still unaware.
* RenegadeRussian: Some of the ones plaguing the Hungarian Wastes are former Soviet soldiers who survived Doomsday, only to devolve into bandits and warlords, like Col. Viktor Andrei.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Princess Anne of Cleveland is explicitly shown as one, among others. Subverted in the case of Otto von Habsburg, whose dreams of bringing down the Iron Curtain between Austria and Hungary never came to pass.
* SmallNameBigEgo: [[RenegadeRussian Former]] Col. Viktor Andrei from ''The Vanishing Shadows'' is implied to be this trope. Although he's shown in-verse as a notorious (and vile) figure who's crossed paths with the Nations before, his efforts to kidnap Sopron go ''way'' over his head. Which is not helped at all by his delusions of grandeur in serving his mysterious employers.
* SpiritualSuccessor: In-universe and as in ''Literature/NineteenEightyThreeDoomsday,'' Jean Burnel's work is considered by critics to be Creator/HPLovecraft's successor.
* UndyingLoyalty: Those who work closest with the Nations tend to be this for various reasons. Though this could also overlap with MyCountryRightOrWrong.
