Yao and Kiku

Their leaders forced them back together. Yao accepts this as one of the necessities of being a world power. He had to, of course, make up with Arthur, Frances, and Ivan as well.

Kiku knows it’s just business as usual, but he can’t help but feel like he is the luckiest bastard in the world that the other will even make eye contact with him after everything he’s done.

He also, in his most secret of thoughts, smug in knowing that the other has always come back to him.

Myanmar is kind of tomboyish and often comes off as tactless, seemingly indifferent to what is being said of her in the UN. But what others don't know is that she actually puts on the tough girl appearance as a front, and at waits in silent desperation for Aung San Suu Kyi or some other noble spirit to go against the junta and finally bring democracy to her home.

Japan loves Korea. He keeps himself stern and calm at all times, but he has a vast secret stash of Korean Wave products hidden at home. It was the reason he fought so hard to occupy Korea, and why he invaded him so many times in the past trying to bring them closer together. After the Meiji Restoration, he thought of himself as the best race, and forced his culture down on Korea wanting him to be just as perfect as he was. Every time Korea says he hates him, it makes his heart hurt.

Thailand is often underestimated because of his smile, which he almost always wears when around others.

However, he is honestly one of the most terrifying nations on Earth if someone angers him or gives him reason to fight.

He is a martial arts master, was one of few countries to resist colonization, and was once the proud nation of Siam.

All of this still applies. It’s why he smiles so much. He hopes his smile will help others forget their fear and be friends with him.

So far, it’s succeeded- and because of this, no one envies Thailand more than Russia.

In the 1950s, when Egypt underwent a revolution and went from being a Kingdom to a Republic, his new President tried to make Arab Nationalism a state policy. But after two attempts at forming a United Arab Republic, and many lost wars in alliances with each other, the Arab “nationalism” feeling was lost in politics.

In 1978, after Egypt’s next president signed a peace treaty with Israel, his message to the rest of the Arab world was clear: Egypt is about what’s good for Egyptians, not Arabs. Since then the consensus among Egyptian people is that becoming part of a larger Arabic unit does away with a lot of Egypt’s unique culture and history. After peace was made from Israel, Egypt was removed from the Arab League, to be reintroduced to it years later.

For his part, Egypt never felt like a part of the Arab unit. Unlike many of the other Arab nations, he has existed before the language of Arabic. He had his own concept of people and government while many Arab territories were still just tribes of people with no real representation, and therefore a lack of a human personification. Other Arabs in North Africa, such as Morocco and Algeria, dislike him on a personal level, as very often witnessed during soccer tournaments like the African Cup. The Arabs in the Asian portion of the Middle East tend to resent his continued peace with Israel, and see him as a traitor.

He is on good terms with a few of the others, like Palestine, Jordan Libya, and Sudan, and on speaking terms with all the others, but he never really feels like he fits in with them. He has trouble speaking with them and prefers to stay out of their arguments as much as possible, even though they try to drag him in.
