** Two in The former Soviet and Eastern Europe providing a general DysfunctionJunction.
** Then there's
Bloc nations' relationships with each other. Russia likes to stalk the East Baltic nations, Lithuania gets pushed around by both Russia and Poland at times, Latvia is a heavy drinker, Belarus is determined to marry Russia, and that's just the beginning.
** The east
Asian family.
nations provide another example. China never seems to get much respect, despite being the big brother to all the others. Korea's enthusiasm makes him annoying to his neighbors, and his affection towards China and Japan isn't reciprocated. Any kind of meeting between the Asian nations will quickly turn chaotic.
** And England with not only his siblings and the other UK nations (Scotland, Wales, and North Northern Ireland) but is pretty messed up. The reason that England represents all of the UK at world meetings is because if all of his brothers came, they would quickly start arguing among themselves. England's relationships with the former British colonies can also count, as does his relationship with Sealand.
** The
members of the British Empire as well.
** The Former
former Ottoman EmpireEmpire don't always get along. The two most noticeable examples are Turkey and Greece, who almost always end up squabbling over something, and Hungary and Romania, who start glaring daggers the moment they see each other.
** The various German states were shown constantly arguing amongst themselves. Their inability to get along is what caused Holy Rome's poor health.
