Age: Around 2220-2225 (place) 25 (human)
represents: Spain
brief personality:A passionate, cheerful country with a mysterious aura of light and darkness[5], Spain was once a super powerful nation and traveler until he was tormented byEngland and The Netherlands, beaten by a younger America, and thrown into war and poverty.[2] Despite all his hardships, he remained optimistic and passionate. The source of his constant happiness is the sunshine that casts over his land.[6] He's said to not be likely to change much with time[3] and to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, in whatever way he wants,[5] being a very "my pace" country[7]. He cannot read the atmosphere, nor does he even try so, although he means well, he happens to come off as insensitive and clueless at times.[6]
Spain seems to be fond of children, or at least the Italy brothers (though he seems fond of them as adults, as well.) It is shown that his ultimate dream is for both of them to live with him.[8][9] He'd also expressed interest in marrying them.[10] He's often shown spending time with Romano, France, Prussia, Belgium, or Netherlands.
When he drinks wine he's said to get sentimental, but getting him drunk makes him scary enough to change even Sweden's facial expression[11]. It's advised to keep your distance when he's drunk, and that he won't be mad afterwards if you do.[7]
Spain has a twitter account, but he prefers to speak directly with people.[12] He's the type to ask someone about a book they're reading even though he has no interest in it.[13]
Spain speaks in the Osaka-ben variant of the Kansai dialect in the Japanese version of the manga and anime.
brief physical description:He has somewhat curly brown hair, green eyes, lightly tanned skin, and wears a khaki-colored uniform with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He is often depicted with his favorite food, tomatoes. In the profile image at the right, he is wearing a matador's uniform (from the Children's Day sketch series). His face is a typically Spanish one with clear cut features.[3]
Spain's skintone has alternated between fair and olive. He's said to always look happy, even without reason. Himaruya mentioned that his uncouth hairstyle looks very stylish, but he probably doesn't pay much attention to his hair.[3] He is stated to be considerably built.[4]
brief history:Iberia enters written records as a land populated largely by the Iberians, Basques and Celts. After an arduous conquest, the peninsula came under the rule of the Roman Empire. During the early Middle Ages it came under Germanic rule but later, much of it was conquered by Moorish invaders from North Africa. In a process that took centuries, the small Christian kingdoms in the north gradually regained control of the peninsula. The last Moorish kingdom fell in the same year Columbus reached the Americas. A global empire began which saw Spain become the strongest kingdom in Europe, the leading world power for a century and a half, and the largest overseas empire for three centuries.
Continued wars and other problems eventually led to a diminished status. The Napoleonic invasions of Spain led to chaos, triggering independence movements that tore apart most of the empire and left the country politically unstable. Prior to the Second World War, Spain suffered a devastating civil war and came under the rule of an authoritarian government, which oversaw a period of stagnation that was followed by a surge in the growth of the economy. Eventually democracy was peacefully restored in the form of a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Spain joined the European Union, experiencing a cultural renaissance and steady economic growth.
