Holland: "I can't do this anymore, the sheer obscenity of it..."
Holland: "I'm going back to bed, I can't do anything! Do you all see what happens when I leave you alone for a century and a half?! Look what you did without me! I can't believe this, and I can't even have a slave to cool me down either, ugh!"

Do you have any allergies?
Netherlands: "Uuugh..."
Netherlands: "I'm also allergic to cats. I would say it's unfortunate, but at least it's a reasonable excuse to keep those awful things out of my house."
Netherlands: "I can't believe everyone is on holiday and forgot about my birthday, hmph."
Tim's birthday today!
Tim, begrudgingly: "You better win this football match."
I'll win it just for you~!
We won't mention anything if it does not go in my favour
Netherlands: "I just want revenge, that is all. And I-.."
Netherlands: If you'll excuse me, I will be returning to online activities to drown out my sorrows."

Who would Mattie believe without question?
((Mattie would believe his son Emile (2P South Holland) without question and even before he finished his sentence.

Which is why he usually asks him about Huub's (2P North Brabant) whereabouts and antics.))
What fact does Tim excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?
((He will absolutely proudly announce to everyone about the time he took over Spain's silver fleet back in the days. And then adds the fact he turned the event into a children's song and added the melody of it to his royal marines march. He is Very Proud of it.))
How loosely or strictly does Liesje use the word ‘friend’?
((Liesje used to play with the word friend fast and loose back in the old days, when she was still pirating and partying around like a wild woman. She could call you a friend and lie about it in your face because she wanted something off of you. You could've been a friend just because you shared a pint of ale, and if you betrayed her the friendship was over.
Nowadays, she puts much more emphasis on the importance of friendship and won't consider it lightly calling someone her friend. You must have earned her trust and proven that she can depend on you in times of need, as well as obviously a general feeling of having fun together. If you make a mistake, she is prone to scold you for it, but also quick to forgive afterwards.))
