To those Rusame lovers (pls don't attack me) ACCORDING TO MY AGE THEORY Russia started in 1991 if which his country age would be 35.
IN THE EQUATION:
If the country's age over 20:
16+(36÷20)
= 16+.
Russia's 16.
16+(255÷20)
America is well over 28 years old.
Uhhhh.. please don't attack me
extremely valid take, age gaps also make me uncomfortable in normal media!
how I personally fix this is Russian Empire is Russia. She is also USSR.
in my AU, a country becomes a new one either by dying and having their “child” (haven’t fully figured out that yet. Maybe it’s social maybe it’s biological) replace them, splitting or otherwise being governmentally transformed, or persona switching. A persona swap is what Russia has, twice. They are mostly different people. They retain core memories (like wars and culture, because those will affect a society even as it moves on) and they retain physical age. Appearance can drastically shift, and usually they have different psychology. Russian Empire was a meek teenager, and USSR was a blunt woman in her 20s.
50 years is much less than 250. And also the Russian empire is a bit odd because it’s kinda been there since like the 1200s(?), but under different people and names and things, so I’m gonna dig into that soon enough.
anyway! Compounding age like this means they’re both around the same actual age. How do I age them physically? Whimsy. I don’t take this too serious, they’re fun little characters. My only goal is to not be racist <3
Epic!! For the sake of my family theory and age formula to make sense, I see Russia as a sort of single-nation family, countries being like different versions of the same person across different eras and time zones. I’d say a country becomes a "new person" when it fully transforms, like changing its name, government, identity, or overall system.
America doesn’t really count as a single-nation family in this sense since he mostly just adds stars to its flag over time. I also see it as part of the broader English-speaking family, alongside countries like the UK, Canada, and others. That's why I age him at around 250.
