two paragraphs about the country's character: Korea is an energetic, "going-my-way" sort of person, rejecting what others maybe telling him to go along with what he thinks, or knows, is right, or better for him in the long run. He's loud, but he's respectful to older people and puts his family first. He likes insisting he's created everything, even if the claim is completely ridiculous. He likes the internet and games. He is convinced he created all of Japan's inventions, even though he says he hates Japan. He also seems to like claiming his brother's breasts a lot. He's generally serious about what he says, even though the claims and things are usually quite ridiculous. He's young at heart, so he may behave a bit childishly sometimes, but he is still a young nation, much younger than many of the other nations, especially his siblings. He is caring and possibly a bit frugal, due to having been a very poor country until very recently.
He's affectionate to the nations he knows well, those mainly being his siblings. He's touchy and doesn't hesitate to hold hands, or hug, or get close to the nations he likes...not in public, though. He's got a bit of modesty when it comes to being in public.
Name of the country: Taiwan, or the Republic of China
3 not well known facts about the country:
[blockquote]1. Taiwan's legal status is still under debate. Movements are being made to make Taiwan completely separate from China.
2. Japan treated Taiwan as a "model colony", and went to great lengths to advance Taiwan's economy and industry, as well as try to change the culture. That left a lasting effect; you can still see the remnants of Japan's occupation.
3. Taiwan is also one of the 4 Asian Tigers, the other two being Singapore and Hong Kong..[/blockquote]
two paragraphs about the country's character: Appearing to be a teenager, Taiwan is a fashionable island nation south of Japan and east of China. She's strong-willed, to the point of being rather stubborn, especially when it comes to dealing with China. As a fashionable young girl, she enjoys shopping and is always dressed in the cutest clothes.
However, she's also become a worrywart. She's been nervous and hasn't been able to stop worrying. She's also quite a smart-mouthed and sarcastic girl, even if she's generally quite cheerful.
