Well, right now there's only three, but I might get more (curse you!), but I don't know, so I am putting them all in one convenient little journal entry just for my sake. smile
*-->Name: Im Kwang Ho (Democratic People's Republic of Korea/Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk/North Korea)
*-->Gender: Male
*-->Birthday: July 23 (Signing of Armistice)
*-->National Anthem: Aegukka, "Patriotic Song" by Pak Seyŏng and Kim Wŏn'gyun
*-->Height: Unknown
*-->Hair Color: Black
*-->Eye Color: Brown
*-->Background Information: Kwang Ho is the product of hostility that arose from Japanese influence of World War II. After being left to Russia's disposal, he thought that unification with his brother, Im Yong Soo, would be able to solve the problems. However, his brother had sided with America, who also went against Kwang Ho's military campaigns. With the assistance of China and Russia, Kwang Ho went to war against his former sibling, only to have both of them come to a standstill with an armistice. To this day, Kwang Ho still wishes for unification and is jealous of his brother's economic and diplomatic success.
Kwang Ho is very aloof in most situations, but he has an explosive temper and will call out most countries (especially America) on mistakes and will threaten America, South Korea, and Japan with war quite frequently. Unfortunately for the other countries, it also seems that he inherited a bit of Russia's insanity and idea of "global unity" that everyone will become one with North Korea.

*-->Name: Běla Zupan(Svoboda) (Česká republika/Czech Republic)(Formerly Bohemia/Czechoslovakia)
*-->Gender: Male
*-->Birthday: January 1 (Formation of Czech Republic)
*-->National Anthem: Kde domov můj?, "Where is my home?" by Josef Kajetán Tyl and František Škroup
*-->Height: Unknown
*-->Hair Color: Light Brown/Dark Blonde
*-->Eye Color: Indigo
*-->Background Information: Běla was raised under the care of Austria for most of his life and also had some close ties to Hungary, as that is where his sister, Slovakia, lived. His life was a comfortable one until the breakout of World War I, where he, his caretakers, and sibling were targets of the Allies. After the war ended and Austria and Hungary divorced, he and his sister were forced to live in a spearate house together. This went well for a while until the breakout of a second World War and his sister sided with Nazi Germany. Běla felt truly betrayed at this point, being the only one in his former family who had not wanted to side with the Axis Powers (save for Austria, but he also had had no choice). His sister stayed in his house until 1993 when she gained her independence.
After Europe was pieced back together, it took him a good sixty years to get back on his feet and went through a Communist government started by Russia before forming his own democracy. After becoming a separate nation, he changed his last name as well. He is now considered a developed nation, but was not recognized as so until 2006. He is a mix of personalities: Austria's decorum, Hungary's temper, a roaming side to some of his gypsy heritage (he was called Bohemia for a long time by England) and he also has a love for his own culture, trying to get the other nations to see that he is as good of a country as they are.

*-->Name: Dušana Zupan (Slovenská republika/Slovak Republic/Slovakia)(Formerly Czechoslovakia/Moravia)
*-->Gender: Female
*-->Birthday: January 1 (Formation of Slovak Republic/Separation from the Czech Republic)
*-->National Anthem: Nad Tatrou sa blýska, "Lightning over the Tatras" by Janko Matúška
*-->Height: Unknown
*-->Hair Color: Dark Brown
*-->Eye Color: Olive Green
*-->Background Information: Unlike her brother who was raised by Austria, Dušana was raised by Hungary. In result, she has a very headstrong and stubborn nature. Her life was relatively peaceful and was nearly perfect when her caretaker married Austria and her and her brother could be together in a wealthy house, but then WW I erupted, causing chaos in her family. Austria and Hungary were torn apart by their own people and her and Běla were thrown out of their house and forced to live on their own. Life was an uphill trek, but went back downhill when WWII started in 1939. In fear of her own safety, she sided with Germany, but would lose the trust of her brother and found herself in the same situation as Austria.
After the Allies saved Europe from the Nazi regime, she went back to live with her brother, but he wasn't the same person and was not trusting of her. They lived together in a silent discomfort until 1993, when she gained independence and they became separate countries. Although life has been a difficult one, she has one of the fastest growing economies in the EU and was one of the first countries in her region to adopt the Euro and to join Eurozone.

The Mysterious American Nation
*-->Name: Ahanu (Native America/Iroquois Confederacy/Cherokee Nation/etc.)
*-->Gender: Male
*-->Birthday: Unknown
*-->National Anthem: None
*-->Height: 5'9"
*-->Hair Color: Black
*-->Eye Color: Black
*-->Background Information: Ahanu lived indepently from most of the other nations, except for his brother, Matunaga, who lived farther up to the north. Life was relatively peaceful, save for a few tribal wars, until England and Spain came and laid claim to Ahanu's home.
Despite this treatment, France actually treated Ahanu with kindness and respect and helped him fight England on many occasions. However, England was determined to keep Ahanu's home for himself. Ahanu tired on many occasions to stand his ground against England and his many settlers that were coming in, but to no avail. The arrival of these new settlers also spread not only hostility, but also disease, which threatened to wipe out Ahanu's people.
In the 17th Century, Ahanu was exiled to the center of the country by America's boss at the time, a trek that was shattering to his own morale and to his people. Even after this, he and his people were then forced to assimilate with America's culture and this elad to a near cultural genocide, as they were forced to give up their language, culture, and religion. However, he has preserved most of his original culture to this day and still tries to keep his people alive and well.
However, some countries secretly believe that him and America are the same person, although Ahanu will deny it if mentioned.

The Reserved North American Nation
*-->Name: Matunaga (First Nation: Canada/Squamish Nation/Iroquois Confederacy/Musqueam Band/etc.)
*-->Gender: Male
*-->Birthday: Unknown
*-->National Anthem: None
*-->Height: 5'8"
*-->Hair Color: Black
*-->Eye Color: Black
*-->Background Information: Matunaga's life was a peaceful one until an univited visitor came to his lands: France. While France and many of the nations were friendly toward Matunaga, they brought an enemy far worse than themselves: disease. Matunaga's brother ha had trouble with European settlements in his territory, but unlike Matunaga, Ahanu had to fight the European nations in attempts to keep his lands.
Later, it turned out that the Europeans wer eonly interested in the fur trade that Matunaga could offer, but with the increased settlements and trying to combat with the spread of disease, many of Matunaga's people began to attack one another. He was later forced to "assimilate" into the culture under the new occupation of Canada. However, this lead to a near cultural genocide and to abuse. In the 20th Century, Matunaga recieved a formal apology from Canada and his people were attempted to be given the proper reparations.
It is rumored that Matunaga and Canada are the same person, and while Matunaga will deny it, he will not readily deny it as his brother will.
