[OOC] Countries as people: World War One

[SillyGoy]

@OfWindAndRain

I worded that wrong. But Japan has this weird thing of fighting but not calling it a war. They like to use the term "incident" instead. The "declaration" that followed Pearl Harbor wasn't a declaration of war either, just a statement that diplomacy with the US was now impossible and that hostilities were inevitable. They're a roundabout people like that.

"We cannot make peace with America, so we're going to accidentally sink every ship in their Pacific fleet. It's going to be quite the incident."

"The Americans are pissed, and it's clear that we underestimated their manufacturing. Everything we blew up has already been replaced, so we're going to hold them at what we'll now coin to be the Midway Incident."

"The Americans have taken over nearly all our territories, and destroyed the garrison at Iowa Jima in the Oh Shit Incident."

"There was an incident in Hiroshima."

"There was another incident in Nagasaki."

"We have come to the conclusion that we will surrender and allow the Americans to end this incident. It is clear that diplomacy nor victory was possible in the Pacific Incident."

When two of their heavy cruisers - Atago and Kinugasa if I recall correctly - were sunk near Palawan Island, Admiral Ozawa called it the "Kinugasa Incident."

Waiting to see Russia being greeted, and her reaction to Japan's passive-aggression.

[Bluetommy]

It's cool, like I said, nobody needs to post, it's Easter, people have lives.

Writing up a CS for Belgium as we speak.

[Lady Selune]

Belgium

Name: Jeane Dubois- Belgium

Allegiance: Firmly Entende

Personality: Belgium is young, naïve and immature, yet also dedicated and determined to protect herself from attacks. Despite her young age, she’s grown up in the midst of fire and genocide, and has already demonstrated her vicious side more than once.

Likes: Belgium has an excellent relationship with America and for good reason- both are obsessed with FREEDOM. She’s firmly against anything that might take her uniqueness and independence away from her, and as such she has a purely antagonistic relationship with her cousin Germany. As well as this, she has a sweet tooth a mile wide, and adores chocolate. Like, really, really loves chocolate. To a degree that makes Germany’s daddy issues look normal.

Dislikes: Belgium has one major issue. Anyone that tries to take FREEDOM (or her chocolate,) away from her. She also has a really bad relationship with Germany, and is pretty insecure about how small she is.

Special Talent:

Always underestimated:
Belgium’s sheer determination and courage means that people expecting the small country to roll over and eat out of their hands will be sorley disappointed and held back by a volley of bolt-action fire. She also has friends in high places, including with Britain, France, and more.

Weaknesses:

Suck in the Middle With You:
Belgium is in an unfortunate geographical area, placed in the perfect area for any attacks by Germany and France. With the militaristic ambitions of Germany, this is unlikely to end up as being a positive for her.

Familial Relationships:
Belgium has no direct family other than her technical father, England, although she does have a number of cousins and ‘It’s complicated’ relationships, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and more German countries.
