History Characters / PolandballNorthAmericanNations

* ArchEnemy: Denmark is one of those who he is actively hostile to, mostly due to territorial disputes over Greenland.

* ComedicSociopathy: [[NotSoAboveItAll Even he is not exempt from this.]] He [[https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/3hkoox/canada_doesnt_give_a_shit/ clubs innocent seals to death]] in his spare time and [[http://imgur.com/v4c33uw doesn't treat his natives very well]]. Several comics have portrayed Canada as an outright JerkAss who uses brainwashing and unprovoked insults rather than merely not one of the nicest countryballs. [[http://i.imgur.com/MTWxbG8.jpg He seems to have problems with relationships.]]

* BlackSheep: Compare him with his siblings, who are under Murica, he is the only commie in the family.

* DirtyCommunists[=/=]ChummyCommies: More favorable portrayals of him will slide towards the latter.

* HeteronormativeCrusader: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/3b906x/one_of_us Used to be one.]] Still may harbor some tendencies if given an EagleLand Type 2 portrayal.

* PungeonMaster: He has quite a way with puns, so much that it's become sort of a superpower.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Has a love-hate relationship going on with Cuba-- while their ideologies and opinions of the USA oppose each other greatly, they still respect each other as neighbors. Not to mention their flags are so similar.

* AntagonisticOffspring: Was adopted by the US. [[ValuesDissonance Is communist.]]
* ArchEnemy: USA, of course. Less so in the present as the embargo is in the process of being dismantled.
** UnknownRival: From the USA's perspective, although he was obsessed with him for a short while and launched many disastrous attempts to get Cuba back to his side once the latter went communist.

* FamilyMan: Dominican Republic is very loyal to his family.
* TheRival: Haiti.

!!Haiti
* BigEater: Haiti always appears if someone is eating.
* BornUnlucky: Between being forced to pay back his former colonizer and go into severe debt to obtain diplomatic recognition, having numerous governments that were unstable at best and outright oppressive at worst, and having to deal with natural disasters as well as a neighboring countryball that hates his guts (Dominican Republic), it's safe to say that he hardly if ever catches a break.

!!Costa Rica
* ActualPacifist: Is very neutral and does not have an army.
* IdenticalStranger: Has an unfortunate striking resemblance to North Korea, considering they are polar opposites in personalities.
* NiceGirl: Peace-loving, neutral, friendly, and a pacifist, she is a freaking treasure in the ''Polandball'' world.
* NewAgeRetroHippie: She is very peaceful and environmentally friendly.
* OnlySaneMan: Can count as one, as she is sandwiched in the middle of a pretty volatile region, and is doing relatively well for herself compared to other Central American countries, along with Panama.
* TeamSwitzerland: One of the most neutral countries besides Switzerland and Liechtenstein, as shown in [[http://i.imgur.com/KmXVTy7.png this comic.]]
