Countries and bosses
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?

- Adenauer as the post WWII boss has an important role in my opinion, too (even though he installed this stupid pension system).
- Kohl as the Kanzler of the German Unity may be one of Germany's favourites.
- The one Germany isn't sure what to think about would be Merkel. She's the first female boss and even though her first period of office wasn't bad... well, Germany is critical.
Well, that was about the bosses.
Other people Germany admires...
Pretty much all of his intellectual people. Beethoven, Schiller, Goethe - talking about the nation of poets and philosophers.
