Characters / Scandinavia and the World

Here is a list of characters from the webcomic Scandinavia and the World.

---

The Nordics

The Nordics

• Big, Screwed-Up Family: Åland can be a real jerk to his cousin, Finland. As for Scania and Fenno-Swede, the author says, "All the children in SatW are completely fucked." And despite being family most of the Nordics have dated each other.
• Freudian Trio: Denmark is the Id, Norway the Ego and Sweden the Superego.
• Shown Their Work: The comic shows the countries' stereotypes of each other rather than the Norse by Norsewest Hollywood stereotypes of them, and goes out of the way to show that each country has their own distinct cultures.

Denmark

"If he asked... I'd let him do me."

• Abhorrent Admirer:
  • Despite rejecting Denmark's advances, Norway doesn't seem to mind them, but shoots down any question of moving back in. When Denmark outright confesses his love for Norway, Norway is caught off-guard.
  • At one point Denmark accidentally wrote Sweden’s love letter for Norway. Norway is shocked, to say the least.
• Alcohol Hic: "Hi America, and welcome to Denmark! *hiccup*"
• The Alcoholic: Almost always seen with a beer bottle in his hand, and usually shows evidence of having already drunk several by the time a given comic begins. Despite supposedly being a comedy, the film "Funny Friends" plays this for drama.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Will stop telling a story mid-sentence upon seeing a pirate or a "ninja" (read: "woman in burka").
• Berserk Button: Walking on the bicycle path.
• Bestiality Is Depraved: Denmark used to have sex with sheep and fish before it became illegal in 2015.
  Denmark (drunk): I wanna bang a sheep too! Why haven't I banged a sheep yet, Sweden?
• Big Eater: He likes smørrebrød, a type of sandwich piled high with fillings.
• Big "NO!": Denmark uttered this when the beer ghost came for his beer.
• Children Raise You: Although he's still an alcoholic Lovable Sex Maniac, he at least tries to be more responsible when he has to look after Christiania.
• Creating Life: Denmark was created out of sand and sea by Norway.
• Chivalrous Pervert: As seen here. Sure, he asks if he's gonna get laid, but only after he makes Sister Australia's wish come true.
• Crazy Jealous Guy:
  • Towards Norway, considering how many wars he fought over him and his reaction to losing him.
  • Denmark also acts this way towards Sweden and Germany during his anxiety attacks.
• Elegant Classical Musician: He apparently plays the violin. But from Sweden's reaction, he's either a Dreadful Musician or Sweden's just snarking at Denmark's pass on Sister Germany.
• Epic Fail: Denmark used Swedish! Missed by a Mile!
• Ethical Slut: Not as much as Sister Sweden, but qualifies.
• Even the Guys Want Him: Denmark has a certain appeal for straight guys, according to the author.
• Everyone Has Standards: In "Be careful what you say", he's unabashedly racist but horrified when Nazi Germany follows his line of thinking to genocide instead of Condescending Compassion.
• Extreme Omnisexual: Humon says that his specific orientation is "everythingsexual." He does seem to end up with guys more often, though, and not just because of the gender bias in the cast. Weirdly, he seems to hit on more women but end up sleeping with more men.
• Fanservice: In-Universe, he's not above playing on Sister Japan's Yaoi Fangirl fantasies to get her in his bed. Such as by assaulting Germany in front of her.
• The Hedonist: The resident party animal.
• If I Can't Have You…: If Denmark can't win The North Pole's love, he'd rather have her stay an Ice Queen.
• Idiot Hair: To fit his idiot personality.
• Idiot Hero: Certainly dumber than the rest of the characters. This is extra funny when you take the author's origin into consideration.
• I Need a Freaking Drink: In Rise and Shine or go to Hell, Denmark and Sweden get out the beer when they're forced to sit through the 3am church mass with Norway, which starts with 150 hymns, 5 preaches, and 3 holy communions.
• Innocent Bigot: Multiple instances:
  • In Monkey Man, Denmark mistakes South Africa for a monkey. This does not end well.^note This stems from the stereotype that all Danes are racist without realizing it.
  • "Denmark! Don't call Obama that!"
  • He has a tendency to mistake Sister Saudi Arabia for a ninja, on account of her burqa, and Somalia for a... oh wait, he actually is a pirate.
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: He doesn't look quite as manly as his fellow Scandinavian countries, as he appears smaller and more sensitive than them. The way he often clings on to Norway is a plus.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy : He lets Norway go to save him from Sweden.
• Jerkass: Towards Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands in this comic.
  Denmark: "YOU ARE NOT NORWAY!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE NORWAY!!! AND YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR NOT BEING NORWAY WILL BE CRUEL AND UNFORGIVING!!!
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He cares a lot for Norway, and maybe Sweden as well deep down. He also didn't ask Sister Australia if he was going to get laid before making her wish come true first.
• Keet: Amongst the Nordics, he has exhibits the most youthful, perky attitude. Which is a bit odd, because, as Humon herself has pointed out, he's the oldest of them.
• Kick the Dog: Beats England to a bloody pulp, punched Norway in the face (he thought Norway was Sweden), mistreats his colonies ... the list goes on.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Per Humon: "Denmark doesn't care what you are. Only thing that matters is if you want to have sex with him or not."
• Mood-Swinger: He was pretty unpredictable back in the old days. Still has some shades of it now.
• Our Mermaids Are Different: He once turned into a merman because he was that scared of butterflies. Humon explains it as an in-joke regarding how Denmark is a bunch of islands surrounded by the ocean, and a lot of Danes would start feeling "claustrophobic" if too far away from it.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Giving Norway a lottery ticket for his birthday ... only to find afterwards that it's a winning ticket.
• Nutritional Nightmare: A mere two bites of his risalamande, a rice pudding mixed with vanilla, whipped cream, and chopped almonds, is enough to make King Europe blow up like a balloon. America, of course, devours a whole bowl and asks for more.
• Offstage Villainy: When listing crimes that Nordic Countries committed in The Rennisance, he off-handedly lists murder as one of his own crimes.
• Picky Eater: Much to King Europe's displeasure.
• Really Gets Around: Cue being a huge pervert most of the time.
• Self-Deprecation: Denmark is the character who's made fun of and is stereotyped to a ridiculous degree, as well as being an alcoholic, perverted Jerkass, moreso than Norway and Sweden. Now, guess Humon's origin.
• Serious Business: Butter.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive guy to Norway's manly man.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: With Sweden, though mostly in strips focusing on internal Nordic relations. Other times they're shown alongside each other (and Norway) with no apparent animosity, especially if they're representing Scandinavia as a whole and/or interacting with another part of the world.
• Sleep Cute: With Norway.
• Sleeps in the Nude: If this is to be believed, he sleeps naked at least sometimes.
• Smoking Is Cool: Often seen with a cigarette.
• Teeny Weenie: Poor thing starts sobbing over it.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Yogurt, much to Canada's distress.
  Canada: "He loves this yogurt hell he created for himself!!!"
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Sweden. They couldn't have fought so much and still hang out otherwise. Made even more clear in Favorite Friends.

Sister Denmark

"I found your porn collection!"

• Bifauxnen: Was mistaken for a cute long-haired guy by France.
• Butch Lesbian: Not so much "butch" as "extremely tomboyish" and not quite exactly lesbian but still mostly into girls.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Like her brother.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: She once fixed a truck while fighting a skinhead off with a broken bottle. We only know about this because Aland offhandedly mentioned it in an argument with Denmark.
• Pimp Duds: Sister Denmark gets one such attire while singing "My Wedding".
• Really Gets Around: "My Wedding". She really is Denmark's sister.
• Smoking Is Cool: Again, like her brother.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Sister Iceland's Girly Girl.

Sweden

"You need to get your mind out of the gutter, Denmark."

• Addled Addict: Shown in the film "Funny Friends", strung-out and with a needle in his arm.
• Ambiguously Gay: Before the introduction of Åland, Sweden was occasionally teased as being gay, but always denied it.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Finland, although most of the belligerence is from Finland. They've had sex at least once, and Humon said it was due to their Hetalia: Axis Powers personality swap, where Sweden is the cold one and Finland the cuddly one who's scared of Sweden, not the other way around as it is in Humon's comics.
• Berserk Button: Messiness really sets off Sweden, as does interference with his seating plans and the phrase "I don't think so."
• Bestiality Is Depraved: "I was a stupid teenager! I was horny! And it was a really cute horse!"
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's a pretty nice guy now, but every once in a while, we get hints of the reason why the rest of the world feared him...
• Big Brother Instinct: Or so he claims. He outright says this once, with different reactions from the Nordic countries.
• Big "NO!": In Long Cold Nights.
• Blind Without 'Em: And they're so thick that when Denmark steals them he's blind with them.
• Broken Record: "No war! No war! No war! No war! No war! No war! No war! No war!"
• Character Development: Sweden is the character who by far has changed the most since the beginning. He started off with his sexuality being only a subtle implication that was never spoken of and he always dodged about, but over time he slowly has been opening up, and eventually he acquired a boyfriend.
• Character Tics/Expressive Hair: Sweden's hair sticks out when he's angry or frustrated.
• The Comically Serious: Usually plays the Straight Man role to the rest of the cast.
• Deadpan Snarker: Again, as part of his Only Sane Man role.
• Eunuchs Are Evil: Inverted. Sweden used to be kind of a bastard in his youth (he invaded Norway, fought wars with Denmark, and tortured people), but then he grew out of it (mostly) and calmed down. Then he got a new fish.
• Friend to All Living Things: To a lesser degree than Norway but still one. Early in the comics, he's seen looking after his moose. Much to Denmark's horror of finding one.
• Gag Penis: Apparently, he has the biggest penis of all the Nordic countries, simply because Sweden has the biggest population.
• Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Prior to Aland's introduction, Sweden loudly insisted he was straight, and even had a kid with Sister Finland to prove his point.
• I Need a Freaking Drink: In Rise and Shine or go to Hell, Denmark and Sweden get out the beer when they're forced to sit through the 3am church mass with Norway, which starts with 150 hymns, 5 preaches, and 3 holy communions.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Sweden is polite, cultured, and intelligent, as opposed to the rough, strong, hard drinking Sister Finland.
• Monster Clown: While entertaining at Sealand's birthday, he cuts off Christiana's arm.
• Nerd Glasses: Since the stereotype of Swedes is tech geeks.
• Nightmare Fetishist: If this comic is anything to go by.
• "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: In "Hetalia Personality Swap", Norway and Finland switch personalities with their Hetalia counterparts for a day. Though she never says the word rape, Hunon does say in the description "Sweden was just minding his own business and watching the news when Finland suddenly got all cuddly and kissy kissy. Sweden was scared for his life but ended up doing things he regret, and which Finland will kill him for if he dares ever mention it again." In the followup comic "The day after", Sweden says "... I didn't start this!! I didn't want to, but suddenly you were all over me, and I didn't know what to do!! ... I tried to stop you, but then you started kissing me, and it rather surprisingly turned out you're a good kisser!!". This example is odd in that Sweden is using it himself to rationalize what happened, rather than Finland using it to justify his actions.
• Only Sane Man: What Sweden sees himself as.
• Oops! I Forgot I Was Married: Norway reminded him of their three year anniversary and was quite upset Sweden kept forgetting. Denmark didn't want them to divorce since his country just allowed same sex marriage.
• Pacifist: Aspires to be an Actual Pacifist, but in practice more of a Martial Pacifist or Technical Pacifist
• Promotion to Parent: To his nephew Scania; he didn't really want the boy growing up idolizing irresponsible Denmark or flighty Sister Sweden (especially where Denmark is concerned).
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The sensitive guy to Finland's manly man.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: With his sister. One really has to wonder how they ended up so different.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: With Denmark, though mostly in strips focusing on internal Nordic relations. Other times they're shown alongside each other (and Norway) with no apparent animosity, especially if they're representing Scandinavia as a whole and/or interacting with another part of the world.
• The Smart Guy: The brains of the group.
• Straight Gay: He comes out of the closet partway through the series and starts going out with Aland, but he's the Straight Man of the group.
• Transparent Closet: Though he comes out of it later, a reference to the fact that Sweden is one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world.
• Vitriolic Best Buds:
  • With Denmark. They couldn't have fought so much and still hang out otherwise.
  • To a lesser extent, Norway, surprisingly, when it's Truth in Television that Norwegians and Swedes make fun of each other more.
• Walking Techfix: "*PLING*"

Sister Sweden

"Hello boys!"

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: She likes Finland despite his being a knife nut.
• Cool Big Sis: Though Sweden seems embarrassed by her.
• Dominatrix: And don't the fellas love it.
• Dude Magnet: The whole "Swedish bombshell" trope applies in full force.
• Ethical Slut: Happy to lend out her strap-on to a sister in need.
• Everyone Has Standards: Draws the line at sleeping with her own brother.
  Sweden: Oh, no. I didn't...do anything with you last night, right?
  Sister Sweden: EW! No! Of course not, you perv!
• Everyone Loves Blondes: She has blonde hair, and she's known for being very sexy.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Not as much as Sister Denmark though.
• Really Gets Around: She's mostly an item with Finland, but she's not exclusive by any means. Sweden is especially disgusted to find that Denmark is the father of her son, Scania.
• Sexy Scandinavian: She is possibly the Trope Codifier.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: With Sweden. Her brother tries to be uptight and by the book, while she, on the other hand, has looser morals. It's hinted that they're more alike than they seem on the surface, and just happen to emphasize different aspects of their shared personality.

Norway

"Because I want you to learn to love nature. I don't understand why you're so frightened."

• The Bear: Norway is a Big Beautiful Man with a nice Carpet of Virility, strong muscles, but with just the right amount of chub. Denmark admits to having a preference for this type, which is probably why he hits on Norway alot.
• The Beastmaster: A fantasy sketch depicts him as a Viking warrior with command over wolves and eagles. (Probably not intended to carry over to the main comic.)
• Berserk Button: Don't take his coffee. This happens.
• Cloudcuckoolander: He has his occasional moments, but he's usually the Straight Man.
• Crazy Survivalist: While Denmark is making it's legos more sustainable, Norway is building a doomsday seed vault just in case he's wrong.
• Creating Life: Made Denmark out of Sand and Sea.
• Even the Guys Want Him: Even lesbians want him, according to the author.
• Friend to All Living Things: Downplayed. He loves all creatures except for polar bears, though it's the polar bears who are Always Chaotic Evil. He's also not too kind to whales...
• Gentle Giant: Taller (and bigger) than the rest of the cast, but also the most kind.
• I'm a Humanitarian: When talking about disposing of dead austronauts on Mars, Norway nonchalantly suggests recycling the body as food. Denmark finds this suggestion disgusting.
• Kissing Cousins: Norway introduced the others to his cousin Jan Mayen as his "friend". Sweden commented that he looked dead. It was later revealed that Norway and Jan Mayen used to have an incestuous relationship, and that Jan Mayen got killed for it. That means Norway is keeping the corpse of his dead lover somewhere in his house...
• Lethal Chef: He uses an entire pot of salt when making raspeballer. According to Denmark, the resulting dish is "salty like the sea with a hint of bland" (and makes his entire face pucker inward).
• Mummies at the Dinner Table: As mentioned above, Norway carries around the dead body of his cousin/former lover Jan Mayen and at one point even showed it to his friends.
• Must Have Caffeine: NOM NOM NOM
• Narcissist: According to the author, he is pretty damn in love with himself.
• Nice Guy: Definitely when compared to Denmark and Sweden.
• Not Himself: In "Hetalia Personality Swap", Norway switches personalities with his Hetalia counterpart. This results in him punching Denmark in the face twice.
• Nouveau Riche: Norway's wealth is derived from his huge petroleum resources, which is a relatively recent development, and a bone of contention amongst his fellow Nordics.
• Only One Finds It Fun: He drags Denmark and Sweden to a 3am mass celebrating Duke Asbjörn becoming a saint, and is absolutely ecstatic about the Boring Religious Service while they need several bottles of beer just to get through it.
• Only Sane Man: He's by far the most laid-back of the main four. Compared to Sweden being uptight, Finland being Axe-Crazy and Denmark being a Cloud Cuckoolander, he's the most likely to just observe from afar without getting involved.
• Plain Palate: Norway doesn't really have a national stereotype when it comes to food, other than "a bit bland". Even his own, unique recipe is merely potato-cakes and salted ham.
• Promotion to Parent: Possibly with Iceland. The two are officially brothers, but a "random" sketch depicts a grown Norway cradling an infant Iceland in a very parental fashion.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Norway does this when upset.
• Real Men Love Jesus: Norway's real life equivalent is the most religious of the three Scandinavian countries, which translates into him waking up Denmark and Sweden at 3 am to go to mass so they can celebrate the day Duke Asbjörn accidentally swallowed a splinter from Jesus Christ's cross and became a saint. The last panel shows the boys in church and Norway wearing a starry-eyed expression as Denmark and Sweden get out the beer.
• Rich Bitch: Norway may be a nice guy, but he never passes up an opportunity to show off his wealth, whether by humble-bragging about it or using it as his Halloween "Costume".
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly man to Denmark's sensitive guy.
• Serious Business: Auroras, butter, church, and cheese cutters.
• Sleep Cute: With Denmark.
• Straight Man: Most of the time, anyway.
• Token Religious Teammate: Rise and shine or go to Hell!
• Trademark Favorite Food: He's usually seen with a fish, which sometimes doubles as a Head Pet / Empathy Pet.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Sweden, surprisingly, and it's Truth in Television that they make fun of each other to a ridiculous degree, but they both see it as a friendly, sibling nudge.

Sister Norway

"Wha...I don't...Why are you watching that?"

• Berserk Button: Has apparently banned Sister Sweden from swimming in her pond, and thinks nothing of enforcing it with her fist.
• The Generic Girl: Has the least characterization out of the female cast, and is mainly used as a Straight Man.
• Huge Girl, Tiny Guy: She's bigger than most of the male characters, when shown in non-chibi form.
• One-Hit Kill: Or One Hit K.O. anyway. She drops Sister Sweden with one punch.
• Only Sane Woman]]: She has the comedic foil role of her brother, without his Cloudcuckoolander moments.
• Skinship Grope: With the Denmarks.

Finland

"Perkele..."

• The Alcoholic: Never seen without booze in hand.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Sweden. They've had sex at least once, and Humon said it was due to their Hetalia: Axis Powers personality swap, where Sweden is the cold one and Finland the cuddly one and scared of Sweden, not the other way around as it is in Humon's comics.
• Berserk Button: Taking Finland's coffee, Finland losing at hockey, or laughing at his hat.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: Has a moment of this by throwing the Cluster Perkele Bomb when he loses to Denmark in hockey. It doesn't help the fact that he was also thrashing around and had a broken hockey stick at his feet.
• Break Them by Talking: In Finland's case, get broken by talking: Sister Sweden makes him speak Swedish before sex, which leaves him emotionally shattered.
• Carpet of Virility: Not as much as Canada's though.
• Casual Kink: He is a BDSM submissive to Sister Sweden.
• Character Catchphrase: "Perkele..." For the most part, this is the only actual word he speaks. The rest of his "dialogue" is limited to "*evil snigger*", "*grunt*", and once "*weak protest*".
• Cluster F-Bomb: He says Perkele 306 times when initially losing ice hockey to Denmark.
• Cold Sniper: Finland shot a key out of Åland's hand. FROM SWITZERLAND. (This is a Shout-Out to Simo Häyhä.)
  Switzerland: Nice shot.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Finland is implied to have been tortured by Russia.
• Elective Mute: He only speaks to swear, grunt, or make small talk in the sauna.
• Enemy to All Living Things: Punches deer in the ass. Just because.
• Frenemy: Sometimes he chases the other Nordics around with an axe, sometimes he invites them over to relax in his sauna.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Nobody knows what his problem is (partly because he won't talk about it).
• Improbable Aiming Skills: See Cold Sniper. A reference to one of the standout examples of this trope, Simo Häyhä.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a grumpy alcoholic with a violent temper... who also invites his Nordic neighbors to his sauna, generally hangs out with them, and was absolutely heartbroken at the passing of IKEA's founder Ingvar Kamprad.
• Lethal Chef: King Europe thought Finland's cuisine was so bad, he forced Åland to live with him as a cook. His desert's resemblance to poop is a running joke.
• Likes Older Women: According to his porn preferences, he's a fan of the experienced ladies.
• Manly Tears: Finland is seen crying at the funeral of Ingvar Kamprad, founder of IKEA.
• My Girl Is Not a Slut: Sorry, Finland, she is.
• Never Bareheaded: He almost never removes his hat.
• Not Himself: In "Hetalia Personality Swap", Finland switches personalities with his Hetalia counterpart. This results in Finland making sexual advances toward's Sweden, and causes Sweden to become "scared for his life but ended up doing things he regret"..
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The other Nordics positively freak out when he speaks out loud in his sauna.
• Perpetual Frowner: Except when the maniacal grin shows up — then, run!
• The Quiet One: Humon originally wanted him to be medically mute, but later decided he's mute by choice. He'll really only swear, and talk if he has to. The most he ever says is (roughly) "Are you mocking my hat...?" and "You're mocking me..." in the strip where Humon has everyone talking in their native languages.
  • Apparently Finns only make small talk in the sauna. This terrifies the other Nordics.
  • He's traumatized by Sister Sweden making him speak Swedish.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The manly man to Sweden's sensitive guy.
• Serious Business:
  • Throws Cluster Perkele Bomb tantrums over losing at ice hockey.
  • He's also not too crazy that he knows Swedish, or that his nephew speaks nothing but Swedish.
• Talking with Signs: Sometimes resorts to this to communicate without speaking, though hilariously even his signs are often wordless pictograms.
• Token Evil Teammate: Depends on your definition of "evil."
• Tsundere: Towards Sweden, although Deredere!Finland wasn't exactly himself that day...
• We Used to Be Friends: According to Humon, Finland was a happy person back when he and Sweden were friends, but became the angry, drunken, knife wielding maniac we know after they had a falling out. Aland claims it is due to mistreatment on Russia's part.
• When He Smiles: Gives a small, but genuinely warm smile here, after Norway gifts him a mountain.

Sister Finland

• Abhorrent Admirer: Towards Sweden. Though it's less her looks, and more her knife nut tendencies (and her, well, sex) that make her abhorrent.
• The Alcoholic: Like her brother, she is rarely seen without a booze.
• Berserk Button: She's destroyed several televisions and a number of tapes of Sister Sweden having sex with Finland, which Sister Sweden insists on watching when she's around.
• Burn the Witch!: It doesn't seem to do much though.
• Dominatrix: Sister Finland tries, but she's not so good at the "sexy" part and she doesn't have slick matching gear.
• Doting Parent: According to this strip, she spoils FennoSwede rotten.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Just look at her! Though ironically, as many commenters note, just about every Finnish woman is blonde, unlike Sister Finland.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Sister Finland is strong enough to knock out her brother, forceful, and prone to violence, as opposed to the much gentler, calmer, geeky Sweden.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: Gender-inverted. She does not appreciate Sister Sweden putting on sex tapes with Brother Finland in them, and has destroyed several of said tapes to prove her point.
• Never Bareheaded: Like her brother, she almost never removes her hat.
• Perpetual Frowner: She doesn't smile a lot, not even when crushing on Sweden. In the comic, she's only smiled once, after helping throw Sister Denmark in the water for Sleepy Head Day.
• The Quiet One: She speaks so little, her brother seems talkative by comparison. For years she had not spoken at all, until she was heard to say a single "Perkele!" as a result of trying to assemble IKEA furniture.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She's as dour-looking as Finland and less talkative than even her brother. She also has a hug crush on Sweden that swings between cute and creepy. She was dere-dere enough to let Sister Iceland do a make over with her hair once.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: She walks in on Finland trying to stab Sweden for kissing him while they were drunk. The next panel shows her tenderly cradling Sweden, having knocked out Finland to protect her crush.

Iceland

"You're scaring the demons!"

• Beware the Nice Ones: Oh, hell yes. *shiver* One of many moments - he holds up the urn containing Vinland's ashes to show Christiania, Kven, and FennoSwede what he does to children who misbehave when they get a bit too rambunctious while staying with him.
• Bishie Sparkle: To emphasize his "prettiness". Lampshaded in the Halloween comic where Iceland dresses up as a vampire. And yet he specifically dressed up more like Dracula...
• Bizarre Taste in Food: His idea of traditional food is a dish of cooked sheep head with balls on the side. King Europe is clearly weirded out.
• Celibate Hero: He's either this or self-sexual. Either way, we're not getting a piece of him. Although his high point voting in the Eurovision comics for Denmark may hint he's interested in getting with them.
• Compensating for Something: Iceland has... disturbing ways of compensating for his small... population. Such as his severed penis collection (based on an actual penis museum in Iceland), and three cars.
  Iceland: I ALREADY GOT THREE HUGE CARS!!! IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!! IT'S NEVER ENOUGH!!!
• Cool Shades: He wears a pair of ski goggles, meant to highlight his adventurous nature.
• Covert Pervert: The rest of the Nordics search for his porn habits... and decide he needs to get away for a while.
• Evil Laugh: Upon successfully growing bananas in his home country.
• Foreign Queasine:
  • Though he does eat healthy. When King Europe is trying Nordic food, he just stares in shock at the plate of boiled sheep's head and testicles that Iceland offers him.
  • Sweden and Norway's fermented fish isn't interesting enough. Iceland prefers poisonous rotten shark that's been buried for three months, known as hákarl.
• I Call Him "Mr. Happy": Iceland named a penis Drjóli. Not his own, mind you... In a Bilingual Bonus, "Drjóli" is apparently an Icelandic slang word that means... "penis".
• Magma Man: According to Humon, "Icelanders can walk on lava and control it's flow." We have seen him walk on lava and skydive into volcanoes without any harm, and he demonstrates how he controls its flow here.
• Mood-Swinger: He can go from happy to angry in space of a single panel.
• Narcissist: When the Nordic countries said "I love you" in their respective languages to someone/something, Iceland spoke to his reflection in the mirror.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Humon says that his slightly twisted mind is a result of living so close to Hekla, the gateway to hell. His porn preference implies and further drives the point with the other Nordics in this comic.^note Although apparently Iceland's porn habits have changed, as the link given in the comic shows (for Iceland) to be relatively tame. Either that or the other Nordics were just overreacting.
• Our Demons Are Different: As a result of having The Gateway to Hell in his territory, Iceland has "dark matter demons" hanging around his house. He treats them as somewhere between cute pet and annoying pest.
• Out of Focus: As seen in the above quote. Humon herself forgot to add poor Iceland in the Christmas Episode.
• Pineapple Ruins Pizza: He firmly takes this stance, to the point of trying to outlaw pineapple on pizza altogether.
• Sore Loser: Shows himself as one several times, most notably in this comic.
• Teeny Weenie: It's heavily implied, due to his small...population, while trying to compensate with an animal penis collection and three huge cars.
• Token Evil Teammate: If Finland isn't filling this role, Iceland sometimes is. Once again, however, it depends on your definition of "evil."

Sister Iceland

"Oooooh! A pony!"

• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Easily distracted by things like, say, ponies.
• Cool Shades: Ski goggles.
• Lost Food Grievance: After Brother Iceland eats her leftovers, she tries to throw away the shark he was planning to eat. Somehow, this leads to the creation of hákarl, a dish consisting of rotten shark meat that is prepared by fermenting and hanging to dry for 4-5 months.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Sister Denmark's Tomboy.

Islands, Autonomous Regions, Territories, Etc

Åland

"Sulk all you want!"

• Badass Bookworm: One of only two (three if you count sister Finland) who can put Finland in his place, terrifies Russia, yet just as smart as his boyfriend Sweden.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Seems like a fairly nice and unassuming guy on the surface, but just ask Russia or Finland what happens when you push his buttons.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Special services".
• Gender Bender: In one strip, Humon turns Åland into a girl ("Tada! You [and Sweden] are now free to make out!"). But it's only temporary.
• Love Makes You Crazy: Is willing to physically hurt Finland and Russia for trying to harm Sweden.
• Straight Gay: Like Sweden, he doesn't have any Camp Gay mannerisms to give it away.
• Supreme Chef: Why King Europe had him stay with Finland.
• Yandere: He doesn't seem to be anything other than shocked at the christening of Sweden's son with Sister Finland, despite the obvious infidelity (even if Sweden were coerced into it...).

Greenland

"Go fuck yourself, Denmark! You ruined my life!"

• The Alcoholic: And it's Denmark's fault.
• Eyes Always Shut: Seems to be always squinting in earlier comics... a notable exception being when he discovers the nature of the beer ghost.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Inverted, he's the friend that hates everybody else. Justified, because he was treated horribly by Denmark for centuries.
• Gun Nut: Enough to impress America. Once went out to buy a chocolate bar, bought a minigun instead.
• I'm Standing Right Here: Nonverbally, as Denmark and Canada congratulate themselves on sharing Hans Island... which is closest to Greenland.
• Magical Native American: 85% Inuit and still practices some of the old ways, leading Denmark to pester him with his ghost problems.
• Perpetual Frowner: Except once. And then another time, although he wasn't exactly smiling...
• Precision F-Strike: His first line is one of these.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He flees and abandons Denmark to the beer ghost.

Faroe Islands

"It's me! The Faroes! We live together! I pay rent to you!"

• Armored Closet Gay: Possibly. He had the same explosive nosebleed as Sister Japan when Netherlands and Denmark were pandering to her Yaoi Fangirl tendencies in "Ungodly Surprise".
• Ascended Extra: Since Humon got a Faroese roommate, he's been getting a lot more screen time.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: He likes to drink hand sanitizer, a reference to real Faroe Islanders stealing and drinking hand sanitizer because alcohol is so expensive where they live.
• Forgettable Character: He lives with Denmark, but Denmark only remembers him when he owes money.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: "SHUT UP OR THE GOD DAMN WHALE GETS IT!!!"
• Idiot Hair: He seems to have gained one on the back/center of his head as of Not Norway.
• Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny: Since the Faroes are more religious than most of Scandinavia, he gets the whole repression thing full force.
• Sweet Tooth: Boy, does he hold a grudge when Norway doesn't give him chocolate.
• Took a Level in Badass: He bashed Netherlands and Denmark over the head with a giant cross in Ungodly Surprise.
• You Are What You Hate: Is homophobic due to religion, but not straight enough to not find Yaoi sexy.

Sister Faroe Islands

• Genki Girl: Sister Faroes looks to be this.

Scania

"I'm not mumbling. That's how I talk..."

• The Chew Toy: Sweden doesn't seem to respect him at all.
• Heroic Bastard: Illegitimate son of Sister Sweden and Denmark.
• Long-Lost Relative: Denmark is his father, though neither of them knows it. (When Sweden finds out, he tells Scania his father was killed in a car accident so that the boy wouldn't look up to the irresponsible Denmark as a role model.)
• Missing Mom: Well, she's still present, but his mother, Sister Sweden doesn't seem to have much investment in his life. Sweden is the one that raised him.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: To Sweden

Fenno-Swede

The son of Sweden and Sister Finland.

• Cheerful Child: Despite his insane family. Apparently it's because his mother spoils him. ^note This is a reflection of the Finnish stereotype of Fenno-Swedes being annoyingly happy all the time.
• Cool Shades: Usually has a pair of these on his forehead.
• Heroic Bastard: Born with Sweden drunkenly slept with Sister Finland.
• Identical Twin ID Tag: His flag is very similar to Scania's, but he wears sunglasses and rolled up sleeves while Scania does not.
• Keet
• The Voiceless: He doesn't speak very often. Most he's said to date are "Yes!" and "No sir!". He speaks Swedish (shown by the flag in his bubble) which pisses Finland off to no end. This is a reflection of real life Fenno-Swedes.

Svalbard

"And what do you think our tough Viking ancestors would think about that?"

• Aloof Big Brother: Usually hangs out by himself.
• Cold Sniper: Has to be, what with all the polar bears around.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a large scar on his face.
• The Hermit: Of the "wilderness survivalist" variety.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Norway introduced him as his twin. In terms of personality, they're completely different. Norway is a friendly Nice Guy, Svalbard is a bit more brusque and cold.

Jan Mayen

"..."

• Kissing Cousins: With Norway. Jan Mayen got killed for it.
• Posthumous Character: Was apparently executed during the Renaissance for having an incestuous relationship with Norway, which is only revealed several strips after his first appearance. Sweden points out that "he looks dead". That's right, Norway introduces his friends to the dead body of his onetime lover/cousin. Which he keeps around to have conversations with. (In real life, Jan Mayen is an inhospitable volcanic island with no real population other than some researchers.)

Bornholm

• Ambiguously Gay: If Eurovision is anything to go by.
• Hot-Blooded Sideburns: Was quicker to rebel against Sweden than Scania.
• Pity the Kidnapper: When Denmark had to give Bornholm up to Sweden, Bornholm responded by beating Sweden up until he let him go back.
• Undying Loyalty: To Denmark.

Sami/Lapland

• Cool Horse: Rides a reindeer in this case.
• Santa Claus: Yup, Santa is a Sami. Deal with it, Finland and Sweden.

Sister Sami

• Platonic Life-Partners: She and grandpa Nordic (or Viking) seems to get along well, with Viking asking her if England is bothering her at a bar.
• The Resenter: Bonds with Greenland over their similar mistreatment by the other Nordic nations.

Freetown Christiania

"I hate you! You're so evil! Why can't I smoke marijuana?!"

• Bratty Half-Pint: Though he and Denmark still love each other.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: His rather feminine-sounding name and strong resemblance to Sister Denmark caused some debate over his gender early on. The only person (besides Denmark, of course) who notices, however, is Japan, because he's used to sorting the girly-looking guys from actual girls.
• The Stoner: "I wanna smoke!!!"

Kven

"...I'm already here."

• I'm Standing Right Here: Norway has trouble noticing his existence.
• Nephewism: Possibly this with Norway. The paternity with Fenno-Swede and Scania is the child having the father's language but within the mother's land. So Kven may be Finland and Sister Norway's child.

North Pole

• Ice Queen: Well, duh.

Other Europe

King Europe

"Well, if you must ask; I'm an intellectual who speaks more than 20 languages, my food is excellent, my art is deep, I'm a great lover who is sexy without being vulgar, I rule my kingdom with peace, and I ride a mean scooter."

• The Ace: See the quote — as he's a mix of all European traits (and represents the full diversity of the continent), there's nothing he's isn't good at.
• Berserk Button: No censoring Eurovision!
• Balloon Belly: King Europe got one after he ate two bites of Denmark's dessert.
• Burn the Witch!: Tries to rope the Vatican into having Queen Europe burned at the stake for witchcraft. It... doesn't quite work the way he intended because, as the Pope says, only heathens believe in witches.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: When he first appeared, he was treated as a personification of Europe itself, and even Norway paid homage to him. He later came to personify the EU, and Norway largely dislikes him.
• Ready for Lovemaking: When trying to seduce Norway into joining EU.
• Serious Business: Two examples:
  • Food. He orders Åland to move back in with Finland over the former's strenuous protests so that the latter would have a decent cook around the house. He's also quite peeved that Denmark doesn't like his food.
  • Eurovision is sacred.
• Stalker with a Crush: Toward Norway; he often is seen trying to aggressive seduce him. This is based off the EU's constant attempts to get Norway to join.

Queen Europe

• Burn the Witch!

England

"Hello, old chaps. Lovely weather."

As one of the Nordics' biggest trading partners (and one of the Nordics' favourite former chew toys), England shows up a lot—probably more than any other character except America and Germany. He is also the spokesman character for the (still developing) animated series. Gets along well with Sweden.

---

• Accidental Pervert: Played for laughs when England thinks he's one in this comic, where he accidentally touches a single hair on Sister Denmark's head and freaks out over it, acting like he's Beyond Redemption. Sister Denmark doesn't even notice.^note British people tend to be uncomfortable with touching someone they don't know well.
• British Stuffiness: He's often confounded by and highly disapproving of the actions of his fellow nations, especially his ex-colonies the USA and Australia, whom he frequently despairs of.
• Brits Love Tea: Shouldn't be surprising to anyone. He likes to have tea parties with Sweden and Japan — nations who share his love of genteel sophistication.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: Only at Christmas, where he soaks the Christmas Pudding in brandy and lights it on fire. The rest of the year, he's fine.
• Covert Pervert: As shown in the France mini comic book. He does enjoy "watching birds", he says with his binoculars pointed at Sister Sweden.
• Didn't Think This Through: He parts from King Europe with the Brexit but wasn't prepared for the repercussions.
• Everyone Has Standards: While he might have triggered the Brexit, he is absolutely horrified when he hears that America opted to elect Donald Trump to emulate what he thought was his, "Screw the immigrants" mindset.
• Evil Brit: Downplayed. He isn't evil per se but he does have quite a malicious streak that shows up at times.
• For the Evulz: England is excited about the British Royal wedding... for the wrong reasons.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Inverted. England is a reasonably sensible sort of fellow most of the time but, on occasion, a rather haughty side to his character emerges.
• High-Class Glass: Wears a monocle of course.
• Not So Above It All: While he usually seems fairly stoic (sometimes with a bit of a mean edge), there are times when he reveals himself to be surprisingly Hot-Blooded and short-sighted.
• Parental Neglect: He could have paid more attention to America. It would seem he paid closer attention to his other children as a result, although (given his tendency to smack Australia around sometimes), he may have gone too far in the other direction. (He ignores Sealand, but then again, so does everyone else—including Christiania.)
• Playing with Fire: As seen in one of the Christmas strips, where he ignites the brandy covering his traditional Christmas (or plum) Pudding. Even the wilder Nordics are shocked by this mad, seemingly out of character behaviour.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The cool blue oni to Scotland's fiery red, despite their colour schemes.
• Quintessential British Gentleman: Surprise, surprise — he comes complete with monocle, slick hair, and a distinguished (for the most part) demeanor.
• Slasher Smile: Quite aworryingly common expression.
• Stiff Upper Lip: He at least attempts it. How successful he is depends largely on the Rule of Funny.
• Team Dad: For America, Canada, Australia and Sealand.
• Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: The one time America truly tried to emulate him, electing Donald Trump in order to get rid of the immigrants the same way that his father voted for the Brexit, England was utterly mortified.

Sister England

"Vampires are just so irresistible"

• Cordon Bleugh Chef: Has an apparent penchant for adding grated cheese to all her cooking, even cookies.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: She bears some resemblance to former Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II.
• Not So Above It All: Is as susceptible to Romania's charms as many others.
• Proper Lady: As she's the female counter-part to her brother's Quintessential British Gentleman, she's dressed very primly, with a pearl necklace, matching earrings and a sensible hairdo. She also exhibits a sweet, motherly persona in the strips she has appeared in and lacks her brother's occasionally caustic side.
• Team Mum: To Sister America, as well as America, Australia and Canada.

Scotland

"Hey Viking guys!! Let's go beat up England!!

• The Casanova: For sheep apparently.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Scotland can be a bit grouchy at times but he is a good person deep down.
• Man in a Kilt: While Scandinavia and the World's art style only occasionally depicts characters' legs, when Scotland's lower body is shown, he's usually wearing a kilt. In fact, in one comic, he shears off New Zealand's blue wool and uses it to make a new kilt.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Tends to be a more belligerent red to England's more stoic blue.
• Violent Glaswegian: Though we haven't seen him do anything violent yet, he fits the belligerent part.

Ireland

"Yeah, you think you can speak on our behalf? Like we don't have our own personality and opinions."

• The Alcoholic: In keeping with the national stereotype, he's depicted as a flushed drunk clutching a bottle.
• Always Identical Twins: With Northern Ireland, flag notwithstanding.
• Identical Twin ID Tag: His flag is what separates him from Northern Ireland.
• Scotireland: Lampshaded in the quote above.

North Ireland

Wales

"New Zealand! You should have told you me you had been sheared! I would've knocked!"

• Beware the Nice Ones: Wales wrestles a shark.
• Day in the Limelight: In the mini-comic book about the United Kingdom and Ireland.
• Interspecies Romance: With New Zealand.
• Sickening Sweethearts: With New Zealand.
• Un Sound Effect: "Key smash!" and "Face key smash!"

Austria

"What the-? Are you making weird porn again, Germany?"

• Brains and Bondage: Either that or he's trying to piss off Germany.
• Porn Stache: A nice blond one.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: It won him (her?) Eurovision 2014!

Germany

"I've changed!! I really have!! I'm sorry!! I've changed!! I promise!!"

A nice guy, but traumatised by World War II. Shows up a lot, since he's good friends with Denmark, and Denmark says that Germany is his second favourite country.

---

• All Germans Are Nazis: Goes out of his way to demonstrate how this is untrue.
• Ambiguously Related: It's never specified what the relationship between Germany and Nazi Germany is, only that the former feels a lot of guilt because of the actions of the latter.
• Apologises a Lot: All the time — he's consumed by guilt over his less than savoury past.
• The Atoner: Has shades of this, out of guilt for Nazi Germany's actions. The characterization of the different nations is related to national stereotypes, so this may be the comic's way of showing that Germany has literally become a different person since World War II. German media also constantly reminds its own population about the horrors Nazi Germany committed, through articles, documentaries or the history lessons in school, and overt displays of patriotism and national pride make Germans a bit uncomfortable (except during The World Cup, of course). This also adds to the stereotype of them constantly apologizing for WWII even if they were not reminded of it by someone.
• Broken Record: Following the above quote. To the point where it starts becoming a Madness Mantra.
• Butt-Monkey: Denmark and Netherlands just won't stop targeting him with their bizarre sexual fetishes. To be specific, they aren't even interested in him; they just like to assault him in front of Sister Japan to provoke her yaoi-induced nosebleeds. Austria also seems to do this to him.
• Germanic Depressives: Incarnate, and mostly due to his guilt over his past Naziism.
• Heroic BSoD: Tends to get them as a result of unexpected references to Naziism or Logic Bombs. "Cute Puppy" sees him suffer a BSOD (complete with Unsound Effect) as a result of a dog giving him a Nazi salute (as trained by Finland), while "Evil Flag" has him go catatonic after the Scandinavians point out that his aversion to seeing his own flag being waved is at odds with the fact that he is wearing a German flag shirt.
• Messy Hair: Humon is Danish, and since the Danes live right next door to Germany, they have a very different stereotype than the American "Nazi" one. Their stereotype is a scruffy guy who loves sausage.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In this comic, following Germany's spectacular World Cup victory, he drops the melancholy for a fleeting moment of unabashed national pride.
• Ship Tease: With Sister Japan.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Surprisingly, he is nothing like his sister; he is an apologetic, wimpy pushover whereas his sister is a fearsome, scary lady who knocks anyone down if they stare at her chest.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: He finally gets to be happy after winning the World Cup.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Sausage. Not nearly as much as Norway's fish, but he is frequently seen hauling one around.

Sister Germany

"YOU WILL LOOK ME IN THE EYES OR DESPAIR!!!"

• Berserk Button: Taken to a ridiculous extent in Iron Lady.
  Finland's sign: Women should be respected. Lady Germany should be feared.
• Brawn Hilda: Humon says she's an average looking woman who just happens to be very... large.
• Girls with Moustaches: She sports the same one as her brother.
• Messy Hair: Compared to some of the more feminine ladies in the series (Sisters Sweden and England, for example), she clearly gives far less of a damn about her looks.
• My Eyes Are Up Here: Both Denmark and Italy ogle her breasts, and she responds by breaking Denmark's hand and knocking Italy out.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: She is nothing like her brother; she is fearsome and violent whereas Germany is apologetic and wimpy. She does share her brother's peach-fuzz mustache, though.

Nazi Germany

"Sie Fiegling! Haben Sie kein Dorn! Standplatz gerade! Stoppen Sie zu schreien! Sie sind pathetisch!"

• Ambiguously Related: It's never specified what the relationship between Germany and Nazi Germany is, only that the former feels a lot of guilt because of the actions of the latter.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Has black hair and pale skin, and is by far the most evil character in the series.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Sports a pair of pince-nez.
• Gratuitous German: Certainly more than Brother or Sister Germany, but only in his first appearance.
• Jerkass: He's a living representation of Nazi Germany, the part of Germany's past that Germany itself feels great shame over to this day. He's unabashedly evil and cruel, and his mere presence provokes either fear or rage in the other countries.
• Kick the Dog: His reaction to the titular character in "Evil Puppy" (whom Finland trained to give regular Germany a Heroic BSoD by performing a Nazi salute) was to try gas the dog to death.
• Slasher Smile: He does this often, not surprisingly.
• Those Wacky Nazis: Incarnate. Germany's less than savoury past is actually depicted as a separate entity, Nazi Germany, in reflection of the modern nation's total rejection of (and shame over) its past.
• Yandere: towards Denmark. This is further proven in this comic when Denmark states that Nazi Germany has said that he loves Denmark, but never listens to him.

Prussia

• Cool Helmet: He wears a Pickelhaube.
• Narcissist: He wanted Denmark to say "Prussia is awesome" in German if he wanted to be part of the Prussian Empire. A Shout-Out to Hetalia: Axis Powers's Prussia.

Netherlands

"We used to shag them, but we can't anymore because it's illegal or whatever."

• Ambiguously Gay: With Denmark. They often team up (sometimes dragging Germany along) for Surprise Yaoi, though whether it's just to get with Sister Japan or because he likes it who knows.
• Berserk Button: Don't dare bring a car on a bike lane.
• Freestate Amsterdam: Incarnate — he's frequently depicted smoking weed and has a louche, laid back demeanor.
• The Stoner: Always smoking—often with Denmark, with whom he appears to be very good friends.
• Vampire Hunter: Well, Van Helsing was Dutch.

Sister Netherlands

• Beware the Nice Ones: She punches birds. A Shout-Out to Anouk boxing in the Eurovision 2013 tourism postcard.
• Girlish Pigtails: Playing on the classic "little Dutch girl" look.
• Ship Tease: She gives Brother Canada flowers every year for the WWII liberation.

Belgium

"What?! You think this is a PIG?!"

• Geek: Since a lot of famous comics came from Belgium, he's a comic nerd.
• Lactating Male: Starts producing milk after eating a beschuit offered by Netherlands.
• Opaque Nerd Glasses: In keeping with is depiction as a comic-book nerd.
• Sweet Tooth: Since Belgium also is famous for chocolate, he is this as well.
• Tsundere: Towards Netherlands.

Switzerland

"They never see it coming."

• Crazy-Prepared: A cow is one of the many features of his banking system.
• Genre Savvy: He knows his security system for the bank works best when he doesn't divulge any details, even to his customers.

Russia

"IT IS ALWAYS COLD IN RUSSIA"

• Beware the Silly Ones: He's usually presented as jolly or sad, but at any moment he'll remind you that it's always cold in Russia...
• In Vino Veritas: Poor Finland.
• Mind Rape: Alleged by Aland. Supposedly did this to Finland in the past. Whatever he did would have brainwashed the latter into hating Sweden and being Axe-Crazy.
• No Sense of Personal Space: Gets a little close to Ukraine for comfort in Cold But Heating Up.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: He's present at a lot of the parties, but nobody seems to like him at all.
• Vodka Drunkenski: And he stalks Finland when he's drunk.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Eurovision.
  I can influence American presidential elections but I have no power over Eurovision.
• Yandere: "I know I wasn't so nice to you at the end, but that was because you wanted to leave me! Why did you leave me?!"

Sister Russia

"If it's because you're jealous. I'm sure something could be arranged..."

• Apron Matron / The Baroness: She has that vibe when holding a teaching wand.
• Granny Classic: When representing the Russian grannies from the Eurovision 2012 strip.

Estonia

"Guys?! It's Estonia! I heard you were having one of your Nordic parties, so I thought I could join?!"

• The Chew Toy: Will never get to join the Nordics, and the Baltics don't respect her at all. She also doesn't get a flag designed by God because Denmark and Latvia stole it.
• Heartbreak and Ice Cream: Upon learning that Scotland would be accepted among the Nordics and not her.
• I Just Want to Be Special: She wants to join the Nordics BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO PARTY WITH THE CUTE BOOOOOOOYS!
• Meaningful Appearance: Has a hat that looks just like Finland's. According to the author, this is because Estonians are seen as very much like Finns by the other Baltics.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Oh yes. That's what happens when the Dogged Nice Girl keeps getting shunned.
• The Team Wannabe: Wants to join the Nordics, but they're not interested.
• Throw the Dog a Bone:
  • Finally acknowledged as a Nordic by the highest authority in all the land: Eurovision.
  • And she got a bronze medal in rowing for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Latvia & Lithuania

(Lithuania) Look who's trying to be Nordic.

(Latvia) What's the matter? Simply being Baltic isn't good enough for you now?

• Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: They are drawn with tired, dead-looking eyes, which complements their sullen tone.
• Those Two Girls: Only appear alongside Estonia.

Hungary

"Rest? But I want to pay you ba-"

• Because You Were Nice to Me: Hungary worked really hard as a debt of gratitude to the Scandinavian's hospitality after the Hungarian Revolution.
• Porn Stache: Apparently, Humon asked a Hungarian what their stereotype was, and the response was "magnificent mustaches." And so it was.
• Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Hungary wants to get a job that requires a black person - so he claims to identify as black because he likes jazz.
• Workaholic: To the point that it made the Scandinavians’ work ethic look bad.

Poland

"1 Krone they say?"

• Butt-Monkey: Humon mentions that Poland is the go-to country when you want someone to abuse.
• Domino Mask: To go along with his thief schtick.
• Fell Off the Back of a Truck: As Humon notes, if something is stolen in Europe, there's a very good chance it'll pass through Poland.
• Justified Criminal: He's a thief, though Humon doesn't blame him since the rest of Europe treats him like slave labor.
• Sticky Fingers: He likes to steal cars.

Sister Poland

Romania

"I am the monster that breathing men would kill!"

• Camp Straight: The depiction of him in the 2013 Eurovision comic makes him out as this.
• The Casanova: Vampires are just so irresistible! He seduces women (and sometimes men) and then steals their wallets.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Played with. See Our Vampires Are Different.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Forget blood, he just wants your money. According to Humon, he's a combination of the "Transylvanian vampire" and "thieving gypsy" stereotypes.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: And hide your wallet.
• Sticky Fingers: He approaches his female victim, suavely seduces her, bares her neck, leans in close... and then runs off with her wallet.

Moldova

• Sexy Sax Man: He sports Cool Shades while playing his Epic Sax Solo in the Eurovision 2017 strip.

Belarus

• Everything's Better with Sparkles: Her flag dress is covered with sparkles and rather snide about it.

Ukraine

First shows up in 2014, during the Crimean crisis.

• Dull Surprise: Is not fooled in the least by Russia's "aid".
• The Ghost: For a while. He was mentioned at least once before his appearance in 2014.
• Porn Stache: In "Surprise Party," he's grown one to rival Hungary. He goes back to clean-shaven in later strips.

Sister Ukraine

France

"I WANTED PENIS!"

• Battle Cry: "Vive la France!"
• Beatnik: Her look, complete with a beret.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Don't tell anyone, but France actually has the third largest amount of operational nuclear missiles in the world, just behind (obviously) the US and Russia.
  France: Shush!
• Cool Shades: Wears hipster shades.
• Drives Like Crazy: And she's proud that she has only one dent on her car, much to Sweden's bewilderment.
• Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Would only speak in French in one of Humon's books, in keeping with the stereotype that despite being able to speak English, some French people outright refuse to respond in anything but French.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: France is haughty and easily annoyed, and when she and England inevitably have a little squabble in Humon's books, it is she who slaps first. She can also be seen running into battle, screaming "Vive la France!" Oh, and she has the third largest number of operational nuclear bombs in the world, only behind America and Russia.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Seems confirmed as of the Eurovision 2012 comic.
  Italy: I still don't get why they had to take off all their clothes
• Missing Mom:
  • Her wiki page states that she is Canada's mother, but gave him up for adoption at a young age.
  • Wasn't involved much in America's life, but has been hinted on many occasions to be his biological mother. Just look at how furious she is to see him writing a Mother's Day card to Sister England.
• Ship Tease: With England, of course!
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Sister France (the main sibling of the pair) seems to represent all the classy, hip, and sophisticated aspects of French culture, while Brother France embodies the snobbery, pretentiousness, and rudeness.
• Smoking Is Glamorous: In a long handled cigarette holder, à la Holly Golightly.

Brother France

• French Jerk: Humon confirms that he has a similar personality to France, but more rude.
• Mad Artist: Apparently it's not unusual for him to slash and/or burn his own paintings while naked, or protesting something and going on strike.
• The Shameless: He urinates in public without a care in the world while talking to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Italy

• Beware the Nice Ones: He is very protective over leadership.
• Broken Ace: Invented the Latin Alphabet and did a lot of things to make a better world, but almost everything he does backfires on him, and he's dangerously attached to power.
• Butt-Monkey: Just look here, here, here and here. The only time he looked cool was when we were shown the Axis after World War II...
• Casanova Wannabe: Tries to hit on Sister Germany. It doesn't end well.
• Corrupt Bureaucrat: In "Your time is up."
• Covert Pervert: Not so much on the "covert" part though. The perversion and power-hungriness are at least in part a reference to Silvio Berlusconi, Italian PM when the strips in question were made.
• Depending on the Artist: His skin tone varies from being tanned like Australia to the white tone seen here.
• Only Sane Man of the Axis: while Germany is depressed and Japan sometimes goes around with panties on his head, he can act casually cool. He'd probably be The Ace if it wasn't that everything he does backfires against him, no matter how useful it is to the rest of the world.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He fights for the right of being this.

Vatican

"Merry Christmas, Scandinavians!"

• Heroic BSoD: After seeing how the Scandinavians celebrate the winter holidays.
• Witch Hunt: We see him involved into one and he tried to burn the accuser at the stake, because only heathens believe in witches!

Spain

"AAARRRGGG!! Random fan in face!!!"

• Carpet of Virility: Likes to leave his shirt open to display it, too.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His Carpet of Virility wasn't shown in its debut.
• Spexico: Maybe a bit too tanned for a Mediterranean country.

Greece

"Aw man, I'm so broke!"

Turkey

"Trying to avoid the draft, huh?"

• Chubby Chaser: He only wants two things in life: a really big TV, and a really big wife.
• Wrestler in All of Us: His national sport is oil wrestling. Not for sissies.

Malta

• Precious Puppy: He's a flag waving puppy.

Croatia & Bosnia Herzegovina

Portugal

San Marino

Liechtenstein

North & Central America

America

"Where the hell are all the mountains?!"

• Ambiguously Gay: Dating Mexico, but seems to be scared of sex with women. He occasionally gets a Ship Tease with Canada, though that would be incest. Denmark called Mexico The Beard to America, while Sweden suggested America is in love with Norway. We will probably not get a straight answer about this.
• American Eagle: He's seen with a toy bald eagle in a couple of strips.
• America Saves the Day: Or so he likes to think. This isn't always untrue; Scandanavia really does need his help against Russia
• Ascended Extra: He was initially a small character in the earlier strips, but is now the most prominent secondary character, overshadowing other European countries like England, Faroe Islands, Iceland and even Finland. Given that the comic was written in American English, this is somewhat unsurprising.
• Battle Cry: "I'll sue you!"
• Big Eater: America eats fattening food like it's nothing, and is incapable of serving small portions.
• The Big Guy: He's very tall and very muscular.
• Dumb Muscle: Very large and very strong, but also quite stupid.
• Eagleland: While America certainly has most of the Flavor 2 traits, he does genuinely want to help others and is seen as the peace keeper when things get too out of hand (if only because he's dumb muscle). Essentially he's a Type 2 who aspires to be Type 1. Generally a mixed flavor.
• Everything is Big in Texas: Word of God says "He is a tall guy because everything in America has to be BIG."
• Frivolous Lawsuit: in Battle Cry.
  France: Vive la France!!!
  Norway: To Valhalla!!!
  America: I'll sue you!!!
• Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?: America acts like a macho man and makes a big deal about Sister Sweden's boobs. But when Sister Sweden allows him to touch those boobs....
• Head Pet: Canada, much to Canada's embarrassment.
• Innocently Insensitive: A lot of the time he doesn't even realize he's being bigoted or offensive.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He does want to help and be useful, but he only seems like a Jerk to the other characters.
• Leeroy Jenkins: How Europe sees him, regarding the Iraq war. He even namechecks the trope.
• The Mountains of Illinois: Parodied. He was shocked to discover that Denmark has no mountains. At all.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: With Donald Trump being elected President of the United States, Brother America got a makeover to look like a caricature of Trump. According to Humon, Sister America remained unchanged since she represents the American Left. Although the makeover was supposed to stick for all of Trump's run as president, Humon changed her mind and reverted to the normal Brother America in January 2018.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Zigzagged, with Canada as the supposed sensitive guy. America likes to pretend he's really macho, yet he's actually the more sensitive of the two.
• Strawman Political: America flip-flops between left and right depending on the comic. Though with Sister America getting more characterization, he might be staying to the right. Humon has stated that the America siblings basically have the minds of teenagers, making them incredibly opinionated to the extreme, but completely unwilling to do any research whatsoever on anything they're talking about. Leading to "debates" on whether gays are penguins or flamingos, and whether it's right to step on their eggs.
• Top-Heavy Guy: He's got a large chest and arms but comparatively smaller legs.
• Transparent Closet: Humon stated that America has a lot of repressed feelings for Canada, and is most likely doing some stuff "on the down-low".
• Trumplica: He turned into a Trump caricature after the real-life Trump got elected as President, with orange fake tan and a yellow wig, and remained this way until January 2018.
• When You Coming Home, Dad?: England was a rather inattentive parent to America. Now, any time America wants England's attention, he acts out. One such event was the Boston Tea Party.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy:
  • Since Great Britain was too busy doing other things to be America's father, guess what happened next.
  • This apparently continued into the twentieth century, with England refusing to believe America landed on the moon.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's afraid of aliens.

Sister America

"Don't you guys care about animal welfare at all?"

• Berserk Button: When America is mean to gays (whom she believes to be penguins). Also, shipping Denmark with anyone but Norway (and sometimes Sweden).
• Canine Companion: She has a chihuahua named Ottawa, whom she's almost never seen without.
• Dumb Blonde: She has blonde hair, and she's something of a ditz.
• Eagleland: Started out 100% type two, recently has become a mixed flavor.
• Expy: She is basically Paris Hilton with breast implants and Strawman Political overtones.
• Flanderization: Sister America started out as a Rich Bitch parody of shallow valley girls who are obsessed with plastic surgery, then she became a girl obsessed with sounding liberal without knowing anything about liberalism to balance out her brother's conservatism. Then she met Sister Japan and now she's mainly just a Yaoi Fan Girl. She seems to have backpedaled from this characterization in later comics, though.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's generally kind and well-meaning, and she cares about a lot of causes.
• Head Pet: Her chihuahua.
• Odd Friendship: With Sister Japan. Due to their Yaoi Shippings.
• Shipper on Deck: Ships Denmark×Norway, and nobody else (so far...). Though "sometimes [she] throw[s] Sweden into the mix.
• Soapbox Sadie: Represents the American Left, and cares about a lot of causes.
• Strawman Political: Liberal to her brother's Conservative.
• Valley Girl: Spray tan, fake boobs, shallow, overuses the word "like", frequently says "OMG!"? Yup.
• Yaoi Fangirl: Though she thinks the term "yaoi" sounds stupid....

Hawaii

Alaska

Canada

"What's the matter, America?"

• Always Identical Twins: Quebec is represented as his identical twin brother. Canada seems to think he's weird.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's a gentle person who prefers to avoid conflict, but he's willing to get rough when the situation warrants it. He has mercilessly burned down America's White Treehouse and fights with his bare hands a very tough and rude crab armed with a knife.
• Brainy Brunet: He's a marine biologist.
• Carpet of Virility: The biggest one of all!
• Courteous Canadian: He's so apologetic that he'll say sorry to a door he accidentally bumps into. It's actually a case of Truth in Television!
• The Cutie: He's as sweet as maple syrup.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In his first appearance, his shirt had white sleeves instead of red.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: He's the polite, quiet one, as opposed to his rowdy, trouble-making brothers, America and Australia.
• Happily Adopted: Adopted by England, his mother was France. He seemed to be the only one of England's kids who didn't have a lot of trouble growing up.
• In-Series Nickname: He's occasionally referred to as "America's hat."
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: He loves receiving tulips from Sister Netherlands every year. America tells him that it's "gay" and "girly" for a man to accept flowers from a woman. When Canada confronts a bear, he attempts to negotiate with it, unlike Finland's more violent approach (which Canada finds alarming).
• Moose and Maple Syrup: He's the personification of the country itself.
• Nice Guy: In keeping with Canada's politeness stereotype.
• Only Sane Man: Very much so, versus his below the border neighbor, America.
• Pretty Boy: A green crab calls him a "pretty boy." Being very cute and short compared to America, he fits all the criteria (except for one minor detail).
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive guy to America's manliness.
• Ship Tease: With Sister Netherlands.
• Trekkie: He cosplays as Geordi La Forge, complete with a VISOR and a tricorder. ^note It should be noted that the world premiere of Star Trek: The Original Series was in Canada two days before the U.S., and William Shatner, the man who played Captain Kirk, is from Montreal.

• Fan Disservice: An excess of body hair, depending on one's tastes.
• Moose and Maple Syrup:She represents Canada, just like her brother.

Quebec

Mexico

• The Beard: America's beard, both literally and metaphorically, at least according to Denmark.
• Latin Lover: A very pretty woman, though America has a problem with her brother squatting on his lawn.
• Spicy Latina: More recent comics, starting with this one, show her with a more confident side and Braids of Action. She's also been shown wielding a gun in two separate comics.

Asia

Japan

• Asian and Nerdy: Likes to build robots.
• Asians Love Tea: Often shown drinking tea, because Japan is famous for matcha.
• Covert Pervert: He seems to be fond of girls' panties.
• Eyes Always Shut: Asian characters were drawn in this style in earlier comics; an improved style avoids this trope.
• Inscrutable Oriental: Rather reserved.
• Japan Takes Over the World: Downplayed; the only hint that Japan might be thinking about dominating other nations or even taking over the world is a single line in the strip about Pokémon GO.
• Noble Bigot: He'll tell you in a totally casual way that he doesn't want immigrants around.
• People in Rubber Suits: In the "Tiny Giant Monsters" strip.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: As seen here.
• The Stoic: Except when dressed as Godzilla.
• Weakness Turns Her On: A firm believer in this. In one strip, he deliberately injures himself to get Sister Sweden’s attention.

Sister Japan

• Yaoi Fangirl: Causes High-Pressure Blood Nosebleed

Saudi Arabia

• The Faceless: Kind of. She does wear a burqa.

Brother Saudi Arabia

• Drives Like Crazy: Apparently he has a thing for wacky driving stunts. His debut appearance has him driving on the two right wheels — while holding the back left tire, which he has removed.

China

• Asians Love Tea: Though the way he serves that tea is far from classy.
• Banned in China: In-Universe. He tried to censor Eurovision. Of course, Europe did not take it well.
• Deadpan Snarker: Here.
• Eyes Always Shut: Asian characters were drawn in this style in earlier comics; an improved style avoids this trope.
• The Generic Guy: Frequently stuck playing The Straight Man to more interesting characters. That said, he does have a lot of potential.
• Moon Rabbit: His moon rover has rabbit ears as a reference to this Chinese legend.
• Red China: Wears the flag of the PRC, and occasionally is the brunt of jokes about communism.

Sister China

"Brother..."

Tibet

• Cool Mask: Her "facekini", a sort of swimming mask that she wears to prevent tans while she's out at the beach or something.
• Embarrassingly Painful Sunburn: Tries to avoid this, hence the facekini.
• Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind: She doesn't appear to be particularly depraved, but her facekini is decorated with bloody carving knives.
• Scare the Dog: Even the fish seemed to be afraid of her in her first appearance.

North Korea

• Berserk Button: Gangnam Style. Oh, and South Korea in general.
• The Faceless: Is depicted as hiding under a flag, so we can't see his face.
• Friendly Enemy: With the Trump Blob, as a satire of the confusing relationship between Donald Trump and Kim Jung Un.
• Hikikomori: Seems to be designed after the "hikikomori hiding under a blanket" archetype. Fitting, as North Korea is a highly isolationist country.
• Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Or more like entire body.

Sister North Korea

South Korea

• Berserk Button: North Korea's attacks.
• Dance Sensation: Oppa Gangnam Style!
• Death Glare: To North Korea, of course.
• Korean Pop Music: After all, Gangnam Style can't be his only song.
• Spiky Hair: Very short though.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: He can act a bit reckless around North Korea who seems to have an Ambiguous Disorder, in real-life, the country does act a bit like this which in theory could start a major war if one side misinterpreted the other side's actions. The woobie part comes from South Korea — and arguably North Korea's painful past.

Sister South Korea

Kuwait

• Arab Oil Sheikh: In keeping with the stereotype of the nation's rich oil resources.

Iran & Syria

• Enemy Mine: Momentarily stopped fighting each other to go after Denmark.
• Serious Business: Don't draw Prophet Muhammad.
• Those Two Guys: Only appeared as a one off joke.

Azerbaijan

• Flower Motif: Roses. From his 2013 Eurovision entry.
• The Ghost: He was absent in the 2011 Eurovision comic, but finally appeared in the 2013 comic.

Thailand

A kathoey who reveals themself as Brother Thailand to Denmark when the latter tries hitting on them, thinking they're a woman.

• Crush Blush: Gets one after Denmark, upon finding out that Thailand is in fact Brother Thailand, merely switches their drink offer from a cocktail to a beer.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: Thailand is a kathoey, a Thai "third gender", which is roughly analogous to a transgender female, but who still identifies as a male on some level.

Malaysia

First seen in the comic about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (unfortunately).

India

Philippines

Hong Kong

Taiwan

Israel

• Pecking Duck Christmas

Oceania

Australia

"I brought ma' wombat."

• Awesome Aussie: Never without his surfboard, and has an upbeat, can-do attitude.
• Berserk Button:
  • Bringing up how he lost the Great Emu War can easily rile him up.
  • Do not introduce biosecurity risks to his country. Ignorance is no excuse.
• Dissonant Serenity: "The Something"
• Land Down Under: Of course - he's basically a younger version of Aussie icon, the late Steve Irwin.
• Serious Business: Unknowingly sneak fruit into his house? He'll ban you from his house, as China found out the hard way. ^note (Somewhat exaggerated) Truth in Television: Australia has some of the strictest biosecurity laws in the world, designed to protect their ecosystems and biodiversity.
• Surfer Dude: Or rather, Surfer Mate, but he has surfed since his very first comic.

Sister Australia

• Expy: Of Australian-born Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark.
• Land Down Under: Though not as over the top as Australia.
• Princess for a Day: She's not allowed to attend the royal ball because Australia doesn't have its own royal family, so Denmark lets her be a Danish princess for one night.

New Zealand

• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: She's a sheep with wool colored like the New Zealand flag.
• Bestiality Is Depraved: Had New South Wales with Wales, much to Norway's horror.
• Fur Is Clothing: One strip depicts Wales seeing her while freshly sheared, and acting as if he just walked in on her while naked.
• Interspecies Romance: She, a sheep, is in love with and has had a child with the human Wales.
• Mad Scientist: Built a robot that registers anger.
• Shout-Out: She went on a quest to throw the engagement ring from Wales into a volcano (which Iceland was seen parachuting into).
• Talking Animal: As noted above, she's an actual sheep, not an sheep-girl......a sheep.

New South Wales

• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Like her mother, she has wool with her flag.
• Ambiguous Gender: Until a chart listing the relationships between certain countries was released (here), it was hard to tell what New South Wales's gender was. Because she was a sheep.
• Half-Human Hybrid: The daughter of Wales, a human, and New Zealand, a sheep; however, she much closer resembles her mother.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: A very small lamb, with very cute features.
• Talking Animal: A talking lamb. This alerts Norway to the fact that she is the daughter of Wales and New Zealand.

Africa

Central African Republic

Congo

Ethiopia

Morocco

Republic Of The Congo

• Ruthless Modern Pirates: Since Somalia is known for piracy, this is a given.

Tanzania

"I don't care! Don't touch my child's hair!"

• Mama Bear: Does not like Sister America touching her kid's hair without even asking.

Zanzibar

South America

South America

• Not-So-Imaginary Friend: The Nordics can't see him, much like how America can't see Denmark or tell the difference between Sweden and Norway.^note This plays on the stereotype that Nordics know nothing about South America and North Americans know nothing about Denmark, assume Sweden and Norway are the same, and know South America exists but can't distinguish between its countries.
• Smoking Is Cool: Seen with a cigarette for unspecified reasons.

Brazil

• Bungling Inventor: Makes electric shower heads!. Complete with scary sparking wires!
• The Ghost: She's been mentioned by Humon in her journals, and a "secret" comic was found including her.
• Latino Is Brown: Has brown skin and is the representation of Brazil. And also not Latino, but Lusitanian, as Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country, not Spanish-speaking.^note It's also not the smartest idea to mistake a Brazilian or Portuguese person as Hispanic, as it's apparently a bit of a Berserk Button for them.

Brother Brazil

Chile

• Latino Is Brown: Like Brazil, she has brown skin, even though most people in Chile are light-skinned.

Colombia

• Perpetual Smiler: Never stops smiling, even after having dynamite explode in his face.

Organizations

NATO

United Nations

• Extreme Omnivore: Eats flowers, hockey pucks, and bitcoins.
• Gentle Giant: He's very friendly, and is happy to share his nomnoms.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: Wears armor on only one leg, for some reason.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: He has a sword sticking out of his head, because of the lion on Finland's coat of arms appearing to be stabbing itself in the head with a sword.
• Kindhearted Simpleton: He's very sweet, just a bit slow, due to the sword in his head.

Volcano

"Nicotine patches doesn't work on me!!"

• Smoking Is Cool: Indeed.

Jacob Jensen

... in Spain's face! One-shot character to illustrate a specific event ^note namely the notorious Jimmy Jump sneaking into the performance of the Spanish entry during the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

Christian Olsson

• The Cameo: Appears in a one off strip with Jacob Jensen.

Linn-Kristan Riegelhuth

Finland's Puppy

• Beary Funny: A highly jealous bear that gets upset when Norway pets another bear.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: In "Drama Bear Returns", it breaks into Norway's house and drinks all his beer, because, well...
  I found *hiccup* snow on your sweater...have you been seeing Polar Bear again?
• Drama Queen: It freaks out when Norway pets a polar bear, crying and accusing Norway.

Donald Trump Skin-Blob

After Humon got fed up with having certain ideas for Brother America locked out because it would just seem mean rather than Innocently Insensitive coming from Trump!America, she declared that "Trump's foolery will be handled by the skin-blob from now on."

• Blob Monster: Emphasis on "monster", as it espouses Trump's rhetoric.
• Hate Sink: None of the others like the blob, or the version of Brother America it created. After it makes the infamous "shithole countries" remark, Norway nearly pukes.
• Puppeteer Parasite: Judging by the America Siblings' dialogue in "Return of the lovable dork", Trump!America was the result of the blob attaching itself to Brother America's face and taking over his body.
• Strawman Political: Downplayed, since its lines are based directly on things the real Trump actually says, with only slight exaggeration.
