As a whole
- Identical Grandson: Germany looks like Germania with shorter hair. Averted with the Roman Empire, who looks like both his grandsons (or rather both take after him without looking identical); Romano got his hair color, while Italy got his eyes.
- Germany looks so much like Germania that FUNimation thought they were the same person in initial subtitles for their streaming.
- Idiot Hair: Rome has two wild curls sticking out from either side of his head, which would be inherited by the Italy brothers, while Ancient Greece is shown to have the same Idiot Hair at the top of her head that her son Greece has. Persia has an angular one sticking up from the back of his head.
- Posthumous Character: For the most part they're only mentioned by their descendants and developed in flashbacks. There are a few exceptions in the anime, published manga, and WorldâStars.
- The Rival: Rome and Persia have this sort of relationship; when Persia captures Rome's Emperor Valerian, he gloats and mocks Rome, and takes pride in the fact that his living conditions are better than Rome's. Rome says that Persia isn't "cute" like Ancient Greece or Ancient Egypt. Magyar/Hun was also this to the Byzantine Empire.
Ancient Italy/Roman Empire/Roman Republic
What!? You don't even * &%&@ on the road!? You've at least kissed a girl, right? Maybe a little bit of !@#$ on the beach!?

- Age Lift: "Grandpa Rome" in his waning days was originally portrayed as an old man, but in the anime he retains his youthful appearance during his time with Chibitalia. Lampshaded by the dub narrator, who refers to him as "[Italy's] unusually handsome grandfather."
- Boisterous Bruiser: And how. See Germania's quote, i.e.
- The Casanova: He does love hanging out
◊ with beautiful ladies.◊ - Doting Parent: To Italy. "Aww, he's so kyooot~"
- Dirty Old Man: The 'With Grandpa Rome' strips (in the published manga) hint on this.

- Latin Lover: He really loves ladies and sex. Everywhere.
- Love at First Sight: According to his official profile, it happened to him at least twice: with Ancinet Greece (Greece's mother) and Ancinet Egypt (Egypt's mother).
- Large Ham/Incoming Ham: Each time that The Axis and Justice Destiny Strike Force would fight each other in season 1, the sounds of spotlights flicking on in the distance, a chorus of trumpets blaring triumphantly, and all countries looking nervously at the ocean, only to see a blinding light and an ENORMOUS Roman Empire traveling on a boat or a bed accompanied by a harem of beautiful women singing the following warning:Roman Empire: In heaven, the police are British, the lovers are Italian, the chefs are French, the engineers are German, and the bankers are Swiss. In hell, the police are German, the lovers are Swiss, the chefs are British, the engineers are French, and the bankers are Italian.
- Older Than They Look: He looks around 35, tops.
- Parental Favoritism: While he doesn't hate Romano in any way, he still prefers Veneziano over him.
- Posthumous Character: Almost only seen in flashbacks (if we don't count the published manga and the filler island cameo in the anime), but even as late as the Chibitalia Renaissance strips, it's all about him. He also confirms that nations age and die with military weakness.
- Vestigial Empire: The Vestigial Empire. He gets very sad when he finds out that his house no longer exists and its entrance became replaced by a bench.
- Worthy Opponent: Sees Spartacus as this.
Greece/Byzantine empire

- Adaptation Dye-Job: He has blue-green eyes in manga illustrations, while in the anime they were made plain blue.

- Disappeared Dad: In the drama CD he's called HRE's father.
- Perpetual Frowner: So much that, when he tries to smile, he cannot.
