[Discussion] Nation's collections

Alright, I was thinking for quite some time now, do any of the nation's collect anything?
Do they collect crap, or actually valuable stuff? Do they hunt down collectables in antique stores, or just op shops (charity shops)?
Do they show it off, or keep it in cupboards?
Is it a little hobby, or do they basically have a full room of their beloved collections?

Go wild guys!

Alright, just my huge amount of headcanons... In my head a lot of the nations collect heaps of things...

England: Collects valuable teddy bears (not the mass produce ones), Rupert books, Peter Rabbit rare merchandise, beatles albums, and little cute fairy figures that he showcases in a cabinet. I based most of England on my Dad's collecting habits and mine... England collects a lot in my mind.
America: Has a full room of McDonald merchandise. One of the biggest collections in the world ;D Also, a sizable gun collection and American vintage cars.
France: Has a few of those porcelain figurines (like the pretty girls in dresses) that he showcases off.
Australia: Porcelain figurines of Australian birds. Also he dabbles in bush paintings, pottery and sport memorabilia. Actually, he has a lot of sporting memorabilia.
Canada: Collects stamps. And hockey memorabilia.
Russia: Bottles. He goes around in the river wading for some, or digging under old bridges.
Lichtenstein: Music boxes and rare fabrics. Also, photo frames.
Switzerland: Guns. Biggest gun collection out of all the countries.
Poland: Figurines of ponies/horses that he keeps on all the shelves. And, old dolls.
Prussia: Prussian stuff, and anything with the theme of chicks/chickens. He has a salt and pepper shaker that are cute little chicks, among other home stuff.


Gosh, I could go on and on. But, you guys better have a go :)

I can see America having every. single. piece of William and Kate memorabilia. And, of course, he watched the royal wedding, and was on the phone with England the entire time, narrating everything.
