[Discussion] Nation/Human relationships
Hello to everyone! This is my first post here, and I'm sorry it's on such an inane topic, but it won't leave my head.
Which nations do you think have fallen in love with their bosses, or with other humans? There are three examples I can think of that seem to be pretty widely accepted in the fandom, and I'm curious if anyone else has headcanon on this, or can think of a plausible case.
First, it seems to be accepted fanon that when Elizabeth I Tudor claimed she would have no husband but her country, she meant it. Literally. *cough* Quite plausible - the Elizabethan era was a good one for England, and Elizabeth herself was deeply idolized. And England, at that point in time, would have been a dashing young pirate. However, it seems this is more a background assumption than something that gets actively explored in fics.
There are actual fics that posit Russia was one of Catherine the Great's lovers. Understandable on historical terms - despite her Prussian origins, she worked hard to become as Russian as possible, and her reign was good for the empire in terms of both terretorial expansion and cultural development (although not so good for the peasants).
Prussia and Frederick II have some stunning fanart and a number of fics. Very plausible both historically and purely from Hetalia canon - IIRC, there have been strips where Prussia talked about hwo great "Old Fritz" was, although I can't find the links. Historically, well, he expanded the country significantly and pushed through a lot of modernizing reforms. And he might well have been queer. *cough*
I'm sure there are other cases that could plausibly be ficced about. (For example, I've somehow convinced myself that Poland seduced King Stanislaw August in an attempt to get him away from Catherine II's influence.) Any ideas from the fandom at large? Or fic recs?
