Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Czechia and Slovakia.

Personality:   Russia: Tough and intimidating: Russiaball is often depicted as hardcore, stoic, and unafraid of violence. It frequently uses phrases like “In Soviet Russia…” and is shown surviving extreme cold or harsh conditions without flinching. • Vodka-obsessed: Russiaball is almost always associated with vodka—drinking it casually, using it to solve problems, or even as a tool or weapon. It’s a key running gag. • Cold and harsh: Reflecting the literal climate and political history, Russiaball is seen as emotionally cold, blunt, and sometimes ruthless, with a dark sense of humor. • Soviet nostalgia: Russiaball often reminisces about the Soviet Union, referring to itself as the “glorious USSR” and sometimes displaying communist symbols like the hammer and sickle. It sometimes tries to “restore” or relive the USSR days. • Speaks in broken English: Russiaball speaks in “Russian accent” English, using incorrect grammar (e.g., “I am of greatest power!” or “Am do invade now”). • Paranoid or untrusting: Often portrayed as suspicious of the West, NATO, and the U.S., reflecting Cold War themes. Russiaball may spy on others or plot invasions. • Warlike and expansionist: A common trope is Russiaball trying to take land from neighboring countries, especially Ukraineball, with comics referencing real-life geopolitical conflicts. • Dark humor and fatalism: Russiaball jokes often include grim or absurd humor, like surviving nukes, fighting bears, or living in radioactive wastelands. ⸻ Common Visuals: • Wearing a ushanka (fur hat). • Holding or surrounded by vodka bottles. • Sometimes carrying a sickle or AK-47. • Often depicted in a bleak, snowy landscape.

The pants are slightly rolled up at the cuffs, showing white socks with red accents. • Accessories: They have a shiny blue and white garland or boa around their neck, giving off a festive or party vibe. • Headwear: The character is wearing a dark-colored ushanka (Russian-style hat) with ear flaps and a small red star on the front. (He/him, older sibling.) Belarus: • Obsessive and Possessive (Especially Towards Russia): Belarus is most famously portrayed as being deeply obsessed with Russia, often to the point of being creepy or stalker-like. She frequently demands that Russia “marry her,” and she’s shown to go to great lengths (often involving violence or threats) to make that happen. • Violent and Intimidating: She’s often armed with a knife or other weapons and uses them to get her way, especially with Russia. She’s one of the more aggressively violent characters in the Countryballs world, even though she’s small in size. • Cold and Emotionless (on the surface): Belarus often has a stoic or serious expression and rarely shows positive emotions unless she’s around Russia. Her demeanor is cold and calculating, adding to the sense of danger she gives off. • Creepy but Comedic: Despite her dark traits, Belarus is used for comedic effect. Her obsessive behavior and over-the-top threats are exaggerated to absurd levels, making her a fan-favorite for dark humor. • Slightly Gothic Aesthetic: Visually, she often has a slightly darker or “goth” look compared to other countryballs, enhancing her spooky and intense personality. ⸻ Example Behavior: • Sneaks into Russia’s house, waiting in the dark corner saying, “Marry me, Russia.” • Threatens Ukraine or Lithuania if they get too close to Russia. • Calmly pulls out a knife when denied something, saying something like, “You will regret this.” Appearance: Top: A long-sleeved blouse with puffy sleeves. The blouse is light beige with reddish decorative patterns around the upper arms and cuffs, resembling traditional Eastern European embroidery. • Scarf: A matching scarf with a similar red and beige embroidered pattern (hearts and diamonds), wrapped around her neck for warmth. • Skirt: A high-waisted, dark reddish-brown skirt that flares out slightly and reaches below the knees. It’s simple and solid in color. • Boots: Dark brown boots with beige ribbon bows tied around the tops and ankles. They have a practical, sturdy look with a touch of charm from the bows. • Accessories: A large bow is tied at the back of the outfit, possibly part of a sash or apron-like detail. (She/her, middle child.) Slovakia: 2. Obsessed with Tatras and Nature Slovakia takes great pride in its mountains, especially the High Tatras, and is often drawn with them or talking about how beautiful they are. 3. Kind but Sensitive Typically nice and polite, Slovakia is also shown as emotionally sensitive—sometimes getting sad or frustrated when confused with Slovenia 4. Hardworking and Quiet While not flashy or loud like some other countryballs, Slovakia often works diligently in the background. It may not boast much, but it’s capable and proud of its achievements. 5. Cultural but Conservative Slovakia may also show a strong connection to traditional customs, folklore, and occasionally conservative social values, often clashing humorously with more liberal countries. 6. Sibling Rivalry with Czechia There’s usually a lighthearted but bittersweet tone to the relationship with Czechia—as if Slovakia still wants to prove it’s doing fine ⸻ Visual Traits: • Often wears a small mountain hat or is depicted with little mountains or castles. • Occasionally confused with Slovenia, leading to irritated or tearful reactions. Appearance: Jacket: A red jacket with oversized sleeves and light blue vertical stripes or accents on both arms. • Scarf: A deep blue scarf wrapped around the neck. • Pants: Blue pants with a gradient shading toward a lighter blue at the bottom. • Shoes: Matching light blue footwear that blends with the pants. • Hat: A dark red ushanka. (He/him, second middle.) Czechia: • Beer Enthusiast: Czechia is almost always seen with beer, often bragging about being the top beer consumer per capita in the world. Beer is practically part of their identity. • Sarcastic & Witty: Czechia is often portrayed as dryly humorous, intelligent, and sarcastic—frequently making snide remarks about neighboring countries, especially Slovakia, Germany, or Austria. • Atheist & Rational: Reflecting real-world demographics, Czechia is often depicted as proudly atheist or secular, making fun of more religious countryballs like Poland or the U.S. • Love for Castles and Culture: Czechia occasionally boasts about its architecture, history, or writers like Kafka, while also enjoying metal music and weird humor. • Quietly European: Czechia is in the EU and usually goes along with the rules, but may grumble about bureaucracy or German dominance, reflecting a skeptical but pragmatic attitude. ⸻ Example Countryball Interactions • With Slovakia: Friendly but teasing; jokes like “you’re my ex” or “you took the mountains” are common. • With Germany: Wary respect with occasional jabs referencing WWII or Sudetenland. • With Russia: Often distrustful, with jokes about tanks and 1968. • With Poland or Hungary: Sometimes grouped into the Visegrád Group, but Czechia sees itself as the more rational or chill one. Appearance: traditional Czech folk clothing • Shirt: A loose, white, long-sleeved shirt with gathered sleeves at the wrist, typical of many Central European traditional costumes. • Vest: A dark brown vest adorned with embroidered sunflower patterns and green vines. The vest has a traditional cut and design, resembling Czech or Moravian folk attire. • Belt: A wide, decorative yellow belt with red trimming, possibly embroidered, adding to the traditional aesthetic. • Pants: Baggy, high-waisted trousers in a light brown or khaki color, loosely fitted and tucked into the belt, also reflecting a folk costume style. (He/him, second oldest.) Ukraine: Resilient and Strong: Ukraine is often shown enduring hardship (especially due to invasions, wars, or economic struggles) but never gives up. The character symbolizes strength and persistence, especially in the face of Russia’s aggression. • Innocent yet Tough: Ukraine is sometimes portrayed as somewhat naïve or soft-spoken, especially in older comics, but still has a hidden backbone and surprising strength when pushed too far. • Victim of Russia’s Bullying: Russia frequently tries to control or intimidate Ukraine in Countryballs comics, reflecting historical and modern geopolitical tensions. Ukraine often resists, sometimes humorously and sometimes emotionally. • Patriotic and Independent: Ukraine strongly values its independence, culture, and identity. There’s often a deep pride in its history and sovereignty, especially post-2014 annexation of Crimea and the full-scale invasion starting in 2022. • Kind-Hearted and Hopeful: Despite everything, Ukraine is often portrayed with a hopeful spirit, symbolizing the country’s desire for peace, freedom, and connection with the West (often looking up to the EU and USA). • Traditional and Cultural: Ukraine is sometimes shown wearing a flower crown (vinok) or traditional embroidered shirts (vyshyvanka), emphasizing cultural richness and national pride. Appearance: Hair: Voluminous and curly, colored in shades of muted purple or bluish tones. • Headwear: A large, detailed floral crown composed of various flowers and greenery in rich colors like red, white, dark green, and orange. • Eyes: The character has no defined facial features, but there are stylized eyebrows and closed eye shapes with a small tear on one side, suggesting they are either emotional or crying gently. • Clothing: The outfit appears traditional or folkloric. It includes a long-sleeved shirt with intricate embroidery on the sleeves and a red-brown vest-like garment with black and blue decorative elements. (He/him, youngest brother.) Soviet Union: Authoritarian: Often bossy and domineering, USSRball likes to order others around, especially the Eastern Bloc countries. • Communist Zealot: Constantly preaches about communism and tends to clash ideologically with USA/USAball (capitalism). • Cold & Harsh: Has a cold, tough-love demeanor. Rarely smiles and often responds with grim seriousness—especially in older Countryballs comics. • Grumpy & Proud: Tends to be grumpy and easily irritated, but extremely proud of its past power and influence. Definitely a character with “grumpy energy” you might enjoy. • Militaristic: Loves to show off nukes, tanks, and space achievements (like Sputnik or Gagarin), sometimes comically over-the-top. • Nostalgic: In post-Soviet comics, USSRball is sometimes shown as a ghost or memory that Russia remembers with mixed feelings—pride, loss, or even resentment. Often says, “Comrade, do not question authority.” Very dramatic and full of dark humor, often shouting things like “FOR MOTHERLAND!” or “GLORY TO COMMUNISM!” Appearance: • Headgear: He wears a traditional Russian-style ushanka hat with ear flaps. The hat is decorated with a red star emblem, a golden wreath, and a red banner—symbolic of Soviet iconography. • Clothing: He wears a long, double-breasted military overcoat in dark brown, buttoned up and belted at the waist with a gold-buckled black belt. The coat has shoulder epaulettes and insignia, suggesting high rank. • Gloves & Cuffs: His gloves and coat cuffs are dark with gold trim—again reinforcing a militaristic and formal appearance. (He/him, dad) Czechoslovakia: Often depicted as the “ghost” or memory of a once-great country, Czechoslovakia is shown as wise, introspective, and somewhat melancholic. • He sometimes acts as a mentor or elder figure to the modern-day Czechia and Slovakia, who are portrayed as his “children” or successor states. Industrial and Hardworking • Represented with a strong industrial background, referencing Czechoslovakia’s historical economic development and skilled labor force. • This trait also feeds into the stoic, pragmatic personality often seen in older Countryballs representing Eastern Bloc or post-Soviet countries. Dual Nature • Since Czechoslovakia was made up of two distinct nations—Czechs and Slovaks—he sometimes displays a kind of internal conflict or dual personality. • He may argue with himself or show contrasting emotions or opinions, symbolizing the historical differences and eventual peaceful split. Bittersweet and Ghostly • Frequently shown as a ghost ball, symbolizing his dissolution in 1993. • He may appear in flashbacks, old photos, or when Czechia and Slovakia reflect on their shared past. • Often brings a mix of humor and sadness, embodying the theme of “what once was.” ⸻ Typical Quotes or Behaviors: • “Back in my day…” • Giving advice to Czechia and Slovakia. • Haunting scenes with a sense of quiet pride or sadness. • Represented during historical flashbacks (e.g., World War II, Cold War, Prague Spring). Appearance: Clothing: The character is dressed in vintage military-style gear: • A brown aviator jacket with wide sleeves. • A thick beige scarf wrapped around the neck. • A flight cap or helmet on the head. • Cross-body brown straps, possibly part of a utility belt or parachute harness.
