[profiles] Character Profiles: Eastern Europe

Uh, this one was a bit hard to decide on.  Eastern Europe, Baltic States, Former Soviet Union, Eurasia?  Either way, many countries, including my personal fave (and least fave.  LOL)

RUSSIA

Nation's name: Rossiyskaya Federatsiya (The Russian Federation.  Though in the manga, he is also "The Soviet Union," even though he is always referred to as "Russia")
Capital: Moscow
Language: Russian (though, due to its size, Russia has several languages)
Birthday: December 30th
National flower: Sunflower

Human name: Ivan Braginsky (I'm sounding his last name out.  It's イヴァン・ブラギンスキ)
Height: 182 (tallest of the nations)
Age: Unknown

は苛められっ子だった北の巨大国。
A gigantic northern nation that has been tormented ever since childhood.

とにかくなにするにもウォトカ。燃料はウォトカ。南下を狙ってるがことごとくイギリスに邪魔されてるので正直イギリスは殴りたい。
Either way, whatever he does, there is vodka involved.  His fuel is vodka.  Whenever he wants to invade the south to obtain it, England is always there to get in his way, so truthfully, he wants to punch England.

 毎年のように冬将軍が襲ってくるせいか雪が嫌い、しかし戦いとなると冬将軍は一番の味方になってくれるようだ。
Because he is attacked by General Winter pretty much every year, he hates the snow.  Yet, whenever there is a war, General Winter becomes his best ally.

 性格は一見するとおおらかで田舎っぽい純粋さを持つが、逆に言うと子供のような残酷さを持つ。ロシア史は他の国に比べて陰惨で血の凍るような場面が多い。

At the first impression, he seems to be a pure-hearted country bumpkin, and yet, conversely speaking, he holds a child-like cruelty.  Compared to other nations, Russia's history has seen more bloodbaths and tragedies.

(Note: Someone asked the artist "Russia looks puffy/plump in those clothes.  Is he fat?"  Russia's answer was 'I'm big-boned.")

LITHUANIA
Nation's name: Lietuvos Respublilka (Republic of Lithuania. Poland calls him "リト," which is "Liet.")
Capital: Vilnius
Language: Lithuanian
Birthday (Independence from Soviet Union): February 16th
National flower: Rue (personal note: its flower language is "regret")

Human name: Toris Laurinaitis
Height: Unknown
Age: 19 (appearance. The nation will celebrate the millennium in 2009)

バルト三国の兄的存在で、
Exists as the eldest brother of the three Baltic states,

もともとチュートン騎士団の一員 だったがキリスト教に反発しリアニア大公国として独立、
used to be a member of the Teutonic Knights, but established independence as the Kingdom of Lithuania after a rebellion against Christianity

しかしキリスト教化を求めるドイツ騎士団に常に追われる状態に。
but was often pursued by German knights hoping to convert them into Christianity. (Note: Lithuania was the last pagan nation of Europe)

その後ポーランドとの連合王国化で 平和的にキリスト教化。
After that, became a commonwealth with Poland and peacefully converted to Christianity.

しかしポーランド分割で最後まで奮闘するも結局ロシア領にされてしまう。
But was taken over by Russia after a fight over the annexation/partition of Poland.

 お人好しで世話焼きな性格、あとバルト特有の内向さもやはりあるが、慣れるととことん懐いてあれこれしてくれるタイプ。
A good-natured person who likes to take care of people, and even though he has the Baltic attribute of being introverted, is the type who will take one into his heart when he gets used to that person.

ただこういった気を使う性格のせ いか自殺率世界一という実に不名誉な称号を持っている。
But, perhaps it is because of this sort of personality that he holds the infamous record of having the highest suicide rate of the world.

あと格闘技とか文学とか大好き。それと車は絶対中古車。味にはうるさくケチャップやマヨネーズは色 んなフレーバーが売ってて日によって使い分けてたりする
Loves martial arts and literature. Also, his car is definitely a second-hand car. Is particular about taste, and is known to use many flavours of ketchup and mayonnaise in a day.

ESTONIA

Capital: Tallinn
Language: Estonian

ルト三国の優等生でバルト三国の中では比較的運がいい国。
As the "ace student" of the Baltic States, he is the considerably lucky one of the three.

戦火を潜り抜けて現在も残る綺麗な街並みは世界中から観光客を呼んでいる。
Has risen from the flames of war and is now attracting a lot of tourists from around the world with his beautiful streets.

 温和で賢く身のこなしが上手なため他の国との関係も良好で財政面も上手くやりくりしてる。
Is mild and well-mannered, carries himself well, and therefore has established good relations with other nations.  He is also skilled in the economic/financial front.

ただ超マイペースなため、優等生でありながらもあんまり目立ちはしないようだ。
But because he is extremely "my pace" (works at his own pace, doesn't pay attention to his surroundings), he doesn't attract much attention even though he is an ace student.


LATVIA

Nation's name: Latvijas Republilka (Republic of Latvia)
Capital: Riga
Language: Latvian
Birthday: November 18th
National flower: Margarete

Human name:
Raivis Galante
Height: Unknown, but shortest of the Baltic States
Age: 15 (appearance)

ルト三国の三男的存在。ドイツ騎士団に占領されたり、ポーランドリトアニアと暮らしたり、真っ二つにされたり、ロシア領になったりしながら必死にがんばってきた国。
The youngest brother of the Baltic States.  Worked hard with his dying will despite being taken over by the German Crusaders, having lived with Poland-Lithuania, getting split in half, and getting acquired by Russia.

 性格はおおらかなだけど内気でおとなしくちょっと引きこもり体質。
Has a tolerant personality, but is shy, quiet, and a bit of a shut-in.

[livejournal.com profile] andziela!)

 

Height: Unknown

Age: 19 (appearance)  

中世は相棒リトアニアともに中・東欧を支配したこともあった大国。

Was a super nation that controlled Middle and Eastern Europe with his partner Lithuania during the Middle Ages.

貴族の腐敗から力を失い大国に何度も解体されるもその度に不死鳥のように復活してきたすごい国。

国歌もかっこいいことで有名。

Due to the decadence and corruption of the royalty, he lost his status as a super nation and was often split apart (partitioned), and yet keeps reviving himself as though he were a phoenix. Is also famous for a very cool national anthem.  

こう見えて意外にシャイで人見知りして慣れるまでが大変。

Is surprisingly shy, and is troublesome to get to know him.

慣れたら慣れたでまた大変。

But once you're used to him, and he's used to you, it's even more troublesome.

考えないで行動するせいか他の国に利用されることもしばしば。

Is often used by other countries, mostly because he doesn't think before he acts.

しか しリトアニアとはかなり良好な仲で両国間で行き来する時はほとんど審査が無いとか。

But because of his good relationship with Lithuania, when the two countries meet there's practically no need for examination or questions.

あと名古屋の高校生口調なのは作者の趣味。

Also, his Nagoya high schooler-like speech is just a personal preference of the artist.

........

Poland calls him "リト," which is "Liet.")
what a cute nickname...

But, perhaps it is because of this sort of personality that he holds the infamous record of having the highest suicide rate of the world.
sinister...

Thank you for the translations! Russia's last name is most likely supposed to be "Braginsky", though, as that's a far more common last name; also, it's "General Frost", not "General Winter".

[identity profile] andziela.livejournal.com 2008-06-16 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Polands name is Feliks Łukasiewicz ^^
And I wonder why Independence Day is the one from People's Republic of Poland and not the current one xD (November 11st)

Late comment, I know, but I was browsing the comm..

So Poland's official birthday is on 22nd of July? God, now this is super super lame .__________. Independence Day is on 11th of November. 22 July was the day the Communist period started in Poland, which is the opposide of Independence Day, adfafdgs D: *looks at comments* Oh, it was already mentioned.. but still pisses me off D:

Still, our anthem is considered kickass? :D I had no idea before I saw this And aww Liet's scars ;.; I'd so hug him if it wasn't for the fact that the only Lithuanian words I know are 'mole' and 'hairdresser' D:

Just want to point out randomly that Russia's national flower is the camomile (spelled this way even though spell check is trying to correct me lol). And thanks for putting these up! This manga is so great.

Uh oh... but I wanted to point one thing out... Polish Independance Day is 11st of November, not 22nd of July O__o" How come?!

Ok, first - I'm REALLY impressed about your historical knowlege! O_O Because... when you ask someone from Poland about Japanese history, if (s)he is "average Kowalski" (Kowalski is the most "popular" Polish surname, like Smith in USA) he'll tell you only something about Japan-Russia conflict, and I think Japanese people know even less about Poland history, so when I see someone from Japan who know that much, it is... it is a very nice surprise for me ^^.

And that you like Polish anthem - it's also nice*^^*

"Is often used by other countries, mostly because he doesn't think before he acts."
o..m...g....it's so...yhm... f* true! =_= even now... (i think about Polish president who is as stupid as Bush...)

"But because of his good relationship with Lithuania, when the two countries meet there's practically no need for examination or questions."

Ok, and now, a little lesson about Poland, Lithuania, and their relation ship.
It was turbulent. Very turbulent.
Especially between WWI and WWII.
I'm not good in this season, but there was a lot of conflicts... something about territory 'n stuff...
And now... how can I say it... I was in Lithuania (in school trip - a lot of polish artists and poets like Mickiewicz was from Lithuania) it's so beatiful country, and young people are very nice, but elder generations... yhm... they don't like us very much... especially in Kowno... ;_;

But... forget about it, Feliks and Liet together are so sweet *^^*

Ah, and sorry about my english, I know it's terrible xD *ironic mode on* and I want to study japanese philology, pffff....

OMG I so love Poland X3 He's such a "look at me I'm a bad boy" XD

Russia is cute too, but he's such a killer XDD (and the 3 little baltics brothers...aaaaaaw ♥ )

I can't help but think of Poland always poking Russia to fight, while the 3 others are watching with a "oh my, not again" XD

According to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo-SvLd0FGU), Estonia's last name may be Vonbock. (Perhaps Estonian is like German in that "v" is pronounced like "f"?) I've googled it, and it appears to be an actual last name.
