* AmbiguouslyGay: His flag is a rainbow. DependingOnTheWriter, he's usually portrayed as either being gay, or being mistaken for gay (and bullied by Russia).
* ArtifactTitle: He did ''used'' to be Jewish, having been established as a homeland for Jews in the Soviet Union, but these days if he expresses interest in any religion at all it's Orthodox Christianity.
* FridgeLogic: Causes this in-universe. He's got "Jewish" in his name (and is portrayed as a cube), but isn't actually Jewish.
* GreedyJew: Sometimes depicted as Russia's banker.

!!The Omsk Bird
A tall, anthropomorphic bird in a red cloak and with glowing red eyes, Omsk Bird is an EldritchAbomination to rival the Reichtangle. Often seen getting countries addicted to drugs such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine krokodil]], or simply scaring the everloving hell out of them. Since it represents the Russian city of Omsk, it is sometimes considered to be Russia's child, but other than that, it is veiled in mystery.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Omsk Bird doesn't seem to be pure evil, as much as stoking the countries' self-destructive impulses out of some enigmatic purpose.
* TheCorrupter: Many of his appearances has him offering countrys the thing they most desire, but at a terrible cost.
* {{Crossover}}: Originated as a [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/welcome-to-omsk meme]] separate from Polandball on Russian imageboards, making fun of Omsk for allegedly being a WretchedHive of drugs and general weirdness. However, it has gained enough traction in the Polandball community to count as an honorary Polandball character.
* TheDreaded: Omsk is the definition of fear. Everyone dreads it, except possibly the Reichtangle.
* EmotionEater: One of the theories as to whatever the hell Omsk Bird is is that it feeds on countries' fear and despair.
* InTheHood: Wears a hood that hides its face in darkness, except for its beak and glowing eyes.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: The ''only'' sapient character with a humanoid body. (However, it's sometimes depicted in ball form, negating this.)

* NiceHat: Usually wears a black beret.

He [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Texas was an independent nation once]].
* AscendedExtra: Texas easily appears more often than many countrys (and more often than all of the other stateballs), and is prevented from being considered part of the supporting cast only by his integration into [=USA=].
* TheAce: In a very forgiving definition, his strength is one of the few reasons he hangs alongside USA as an AscendedExtra.
* BrattyHalfPint: May act like one, especially after becoming independent.
* {{Cowboy}}: His most common portrayal.
* DeepSouth: Of course. What? Did you expect the urban liberal cities of Dallas, Austin and Houston to undo a classic stereotype?
* HappilyAdopted: Although USA is less than trilled.
* PingPongNaivete: AlternativeCharacterInterpretation is in full effect with this trope. In comics where he is portrayed as USA's child, he is shown to be rather naive and therefore, isn't generally trusted with a gun. However, in Stateball comics, he usually holds his ground and can be quite TriggerHappy.
* TheUnfavourite: USA doesn't hesitate to call him "retarded" due to being a TriggerHappy BrattyHalfPint.

* PaperThinDisguise: Sometimes portrayed (and subsequently referred to) as a cardboard cutout (ASEANBoard or ASEANCoin) with the member nations propping him up.
!!African Union
* GoodIsImpotent: His ideals are noble. His competence is nonexistent.
* DrivenToSuicide: More than one comic ends with his suicide, or a prelude thereof.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His constituent countries treat him like a joke. To his face. [[TheWoobie Constantly]].
* PingPongNaivete: The two most common portrayals of [=AUball=] are diametrically opposed: Either he's a WideeyedIdealist whose optimism is abruptly crushed by harsh reality, or he's a DeadpanSnarker wearing JadeColouredGlasses as a coping mechanism.
!!The European Union
* HumongousMecha: Can be portrayed as one. Built after WWII, he is shown to be operated by member states, and can be used as a general meeting spot.
* NiceGuy: Just wants human rights for everyone and doesn't display any overt bigoted or political extremist tendencies.
** BewareTheNiceOnes: Of course, some countries play this all as a sham as he's being used as Germany's proxy for the 4th reich.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His decisions more or less coincide with the decisions of German Chancellor's Angela Merkel's, which has sometimes earned him the nickname Merkelreich.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Britain at least thinks so.
* OnlySaneMan: Generally keeps his cool to get the Euros functioning. Even true as a meta example regarding the chaotic facebook polandball community, [[https://www.facebook.com/EUbal.officiall wherein the admins of the page]] are vocal about violent and nationalistic community outbursts.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: While all countryballs are subject to PoirotSpeak, [=EU=] takes this to new heights, with dialogue peppered with words and phrases from all over Europe. French and German tend to be most prevalent, though.

* AxeCrazy
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Divides the whole world into two categories: The part under his particular brand of Islam (and ''only'' that brand), and mortal enemies.
* BullyingADragon: Once tried to threaten Germany. For a moment, Germany's KillingIntent activated and loomed over [=ISIS=] as TheDreaded [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Reichtangle]], towering far, far above and curving down to almost completely surround [=ISIS=], leading to a Grade-A OhCrap reaction.

* DarkIsEvil[=/=]LightIsNotGood: Has a black and white pattern.
* DependingOnTheWriter[=/=]DecompositeCharacter: While it is a ball in one comic like any other in most comics, Reddit treats it as an organisation ''in-universe'': a group of smaller balls (Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, Libya) wearing black headbands and engaging in acts of terrorism. Aside from [[NoSwastikas avoiding showing extremist imagery]], this also helps to explain why it keeps showing up - sometimes in one comic - while [[ActionBomb constantly exploding]].

* LeeroyJenkins: Challenges everyone at once.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Born out of Iraq and Syria's love for each other and their desire to repeal the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement Sykes-Picot Agreement]] that separated them. They wished to unite, and '''[[BodyHorror unite]]''' [[http://i.imgur.com/x3nNceZ.png they did]].
* MoralGuardians: Likes to think of itself as one. No one else agrees.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Has caused actual damage to powerful countries like France.
* PsychoSerum: A big fan of combat drugs.
* WickedCultured: Inverted; the Islamic State hates that there are even reminders of the pre-Islamic middle east and destroys ancient artifacts and monuments with abandon.
!!The United Nations
->'''UN''': ''"What is a solution."''
->'''EU''': ''"When you make a problem better."''
->'''UN''': ''"That is not something I do."''
* DeathSeeker: When he is asked what he sees in [[Literature/HarryPotter The Mirror of Erised]] he replies: [[http://i.imgur.com/KzktmGF.png "A Peaceful World"]]. We don't see his reflection in the Mirror. Should the World become completely at peace, the [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness United Nations would be rendered redundant and dissolved]].
** Too depressing? [[https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/4tffu3/a_rather_unaverage_day/ Here]]'s a black comedy take on this trope.
* GoodIsImpotent: Means well, but has a hard time getting world powers to play nice.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: His choices for the Human Rights Commission? China, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Syria, Russia, and North frickn' Korea.
* IneptMage: Has a penchant for geopolitical magic tricks that often go awry.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: How other nations view him.

[[folder: Omsk Bird]]
A tall, anthropomorphic bird in a red cloak and with glowing red eyes, Omsk Bird is an EldritchAbomination to rival the Reichtangle. Often seen getting countries addicted to drugs such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine krokodil]], or simply scaring the everloving hell out of them. Since it represents the Russian city of Omsk, it is sometimes considered to be Russia's child, but other than that, it is veiled in mystery.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Omsk Bird doesn't seem to be pure evil, as much as stoking the countries' self-destructive impulses out of some enigmatic purpose.
* TheCorrupter: Many of his appearances has him offering countries the thing they most desire, but at a terrible cost.
* {{Crossover}}: Originated as a [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/welcome-to-omsk meme]] separate from Polandball on Russian imageboards, making fun of Omsk for allegedly being a WretchedHive of drugs and general weirdness. However, it has gained enough traction in the Polandball community to count as an honorary Polandball character.
* TheDreaded: Omsk is the definition of fear. Everyone dreads it, except possibly the Reichtangle.

A tall rectangle in the colours of the German Empire, Reichtangle represents (depending on who you ask) the future Fourth Reich, the German Empire, or German's militaristic side in general, and is Germany's SuperpoweredEvilSide. Its sole purpose is to absorb other countries into itself.
