likes;;
- tulips;; They're a delicate flower, and one that sends him back to many nostalgic trips to when he was younger. Always his favourite flower, absolutely no exceptions.
- power;; He was once a huge power, gaining colonies and fighting off opposing empires. Hell, he had to fight to get out of the Spanish rule, and from there it just became a trip. He missed it, so now he's on his way back, and he's better than ever.
- smoking;; It's relaxing, and a diehard habit that he will never, ever be able to get rid of. He can just bring out his pipe whenever he needs to think of something important, and find the answer quickly.
- exploring;; It was one of the things that had preoccupied a good part of his life. Finding the new territory, claiming it as his own, it almost mixed in with the power that he loved. Maybe he wasn't the best explorer around, but he certainly enjoyed every minute of it.
dislike;;
- intimacy;; It's something that he's never actually been able to have. To be with someone he loves, and to actually be close and together like that, when it actually means something important, actually gets him nervous. He's not very good, and as a result, doesn't really like being close to anybody.
- noisiness;; Being too noisy just gets him extremely annoyed. He's the sort of person who wants to be in a nice, silent place and just think upon the day.
- losing;; Who likes losing? He certainly doesn't. Losing just reminds him that he needs to win. He gets really angry, especially when he loses something that he thought was extremely important.
- certain countries;; It's mainly just one, who is perhaps a little too happy go lucky. Annoying, in the end. The other one he dislikes is one who betrayed him, or at least that's how he saw it. The last one... has been a thorn in his side for far too long.
strengths;;
- Analytical
- Intimidating.
- Doesn't tolerate silliness.
- Doesn't really let his emotions get in the way. (Although it happens from time to time)
- Doesn't get distracted.
weakness;;
- Harsh and judgemental.
- A little too quiet.
- Knows nothing of a healthy relationship with anyone.
- Quite stubborn, it comes down to his way or no way a lot.
- Has selfish visions of grandeur.
overall personality;; The Netherlands is a nation that has seen a lot, and has been on both sides of the power scale. He got bored of his previous position, the democratic process and the fact that colonies became “frowned upon” never sat well with him. He still kept all of his tools of the trade, as it were. He's still someone that you definitely don't want to mess with, unless you want a quick defeat.
He was always shrouded in mystery, keeping off in the distance and just waiting for everyone to settle things by themselves. That might be why none of them expected his sudden transition to overpowering corruption. Who would've thought, the one that didn't talk and just stood there, decidign that war and the conquer of the world would be best? It was his ideal, something that he hungered for, and still does to this day. It's this sort of analytical and calculating mindset that makes him such a power to be reckoned with. When it comes to those kind of strategies, he lets his secret and unseen mindset be released, and nobody knows what hits them. The victories aren't one sided, so he'll need to work on perfecting the plans.
He's not a completely bad person, it's just that he's harsh and needs things to go his way. When his ambitions and plans are rolling without hitch, he's probably one of the happiest people there, even if it doesn't completely show. He's nice enough to a point, treating his colonies are captured people with at least a good form of respect. That is, after the war is over and they know that they are his. He's by no means going to be your best friend, because he simply doesn't know how. He's never been friends with anybody, and as a result thinks that they aren't necessary for what he needs to achieve.
Dominating, is probably the best word to describe this nation. Like all, he has his faults, but he doesn't try to let them show... much.
So let mercy come
