Polandball

Vaticanball: I drew a line, the East belongs to Portugal and the West belongs to Spain^note It was still Castille back then.

Castilleball: I believe that'll do.

Portugalball: Only this [land]^note Btw, he's speaking Castillian, when the languages became separated a couple of centuries before the Treaty - so, it's inaccurate.

[Afterwards]

Castilleball: It's only a small piece of land, how bad can it be?

[500 Years Later]

French Guyana: Help?

Technically, it was the United Crown of Castile and Aragon, not merely Castile.

Yeah, but here in Portugal we just informally call them Castille in regards to those times.

We also call them "Kastilla" actually. An alternate name for them would be "Espanyol". Both of which were obviously derived from two slightly different things.

Nice touch there with the Chile and Bolivia balls.

Ok. This has been bugging me. Why is the characters sheet so big? Many Countryballs do not have a single trope.

I started a topic on the discussion page. I would love some input.

The size is actually to be expected. The only problem is not that they lack the content to fill those pages; rather, no one is putting things on them anymore...LOL

It would be nice if we got more Facebook Polandballers on here. While not as humorous, they tend to give the countryballs more of a personality. The Caucasus page is being updated by one.

Also, it seems that the Central American and African nations are too irrelevant to be given tropes or even be featured in comics at all.

I've seen a few FB Polandballs which are too nationalistic and not self-aware for my taste. I'm more of a Reddit guy nowadays (in terms of where I go looking for new comics).

I do not mind where anyone gets the material from. What bothers me is the empty folders. They should be cut and if anyone wants to add material later, they can recreate them. With all the empty space, the remaining countries can be arranged something like this.

Europe & Russia

Asia (Middle East could get its own index)

North America (left unchanged)

Latin America (left unchanged)

Africa

Australia & Oceania & Antarctica

Unionballs & Historicalballs & Others

Turkey is asking to join because oranges are called "Portkhal" there? What is Georgia's reasoning?

Japan, Turkey and Georgia are apparently observer states?

Yup. Here's a map that also includes officially interested countries and regions (but doesn't include those three here, for some reason.◊

If I'm going to take a guess: I think there are a few countries wanting to get in in order to do some more trade and get some monies.
