[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
昔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.")

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。

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

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。

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。

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.
Re: looong comment
I haven't met such attitude in Poland, we're rather neutral in this materia, but in Lithuania it seems to be quite a problems, since there's still a lot of Polish living there.
You know, not even a 100 years ago, Wilno was wholly inhabited by Polish, but then they were given an ultimatum - the land's been overtaken by Russia, so they could either turn down their Polish nationality or get out of there to Poland as soon as possible, with nothing. Some people, like my great-grandmother, did the latter and started a new life in Poland with completely nothing, but the rest decided to stay. Then Lithuanians moved in, and now both claim the land as theirs.
What is hilarious - both Polish and Lithuanins there call each other the fucking occupiers xD
One thing that is worth mentioning here, the king (Polish call him Jagiełło, I don't know the English writing of his name, sorry) that united Poland and Lithuania in the Middle Ages - he was a Lithuanian king that married a Polish KING Jadwiga (she was a woman, but because she was a ruler she can't be called a queen, since a queen is a king's wife), is considered a national hero in Poland, and a national traitor in Lithuania xD
I'm sorry for a long post :( I didn't want to make a history lesson here, just clear up some relations between Polish and Lithuanians.
And I'm not standing on either of the sides, I love Poland, but I'm for peace! <3
Re: looong comment
(Anonymous) 2009-02-15 06:25 am (UTC)(link)Also, random fact time, Jadwiga's German name was Hedwig. xD
Re: looong comment
Not to be a racist, but German names are, ugh xp
(Hehe, I wonder how people like the Polish ones xD)
Re: looong comment...mine too XD
but definetely not the older ones, like Hans-Peter, Franz or Lu...I SWEAR I WAS ABOUT TO WRITE LUDWIG!! OMG SOOO SORREH!!! /epic LOL
are you from poland? can you give some common names? I think Feliks is a really cool name, since we also have that name in german, but you write it Felix with a "x" at the end. The polish way is sorta "uncommon", and I really like such names. I may name my child like that...XDD
well, who knows? :)
Re: looong comment...mine too XD
Yes, a month ago I got to know a group of Germans that were about my age and their names were cool. But until then I've only known names from films and older people's stories (both mainly from the times of war and earlier) and they seemed so weird xD
Well, Feliks is not a common name in Poland at all. I love this name, but many Polish people say it's awful. It was popular only until around 19th century I guess, and that's why it has this old aristocratic touch to it.
I don't know what names are in vogue right now, but novadays I see that parents are more willing to name their children with unusual names, like from the times of Renaissance or even with names of legendary Polish rulers(from the 10th century), i.e. Amadeusz, Lech, Ziemowit, Mieszko. But as for my generation (I'm 17), I can list some names that I see most often. Female: Kasia (Katarzyna), Monika, Natalia, Justyna, Karolina, Marta, Agnieszka, Ola (Aleksandra); Male: Damian, Dawid, Bartek (Bartosz or Bartłomiej), Kuba (Jakub), Karol, Maciek (Maciej), Marcin, Michał. Something like that (I wrote full versions of the names in the brackets).
By the way, the reason we write Feliks like this, is because there is no "x" letter in Polish :)
