Countries and bosses

[ardis89.livejournal.com]

Or, well, not exactly.

What I'm wondering, because I had I brilliant and mildly weird idea, and it's in the middle of the night, and I got kind of caught up in it, IS: ... or wait, no. Not a question because I'm too tired to get my brain around that.

Example instead: Prussia obsesses over Frederick the Great, and then there's France and Jeanne d'Arc, and aha, I knew my mind would catch up: do any of the other nations have bosses or just someone of their people that they can't forget, or are really obsessed with, or have conflicted feelings about? Like Russia and the Romanovs.

Who do you think they are? It doesn't have to be one person, can be many, and it doesn't have too be a person that the nation has only positive memories of, right? Just someone they remember and can't forget about.

That being said, I can't help but feel that Sweden is a massive Gustav Adolf fanboy. Of course he is.

But what do you think?

Not a character with a face in APH yet, but:

The Netherlands (Holland-kun?) is still obsessed by Willem van Oranje, the guy who saved 'us' from Spain (only to claim the country for him and his descendants, who are still ruling the country, lol). Our national anthem is about him, so whenever some important (sports-) event happens, we are reminded of him. During special days or to cheer our national teams up, we wear the colour orange.
