Russia

Russia (rus. Россия), officially — Russian Federation (rus. Российская Федерация) is a country situated in Eastern Europe and North Asia. Russia is by far or by a considerable margin the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area.

Russia is one of the most popular countries in human characters. When you think of Countryhumans, a lot of the fandom think of him. This may be because the fandom is predominantly Russian. However, the non-Russian side of the fandom still like them and they will forever be a signature character of the fandom.

Appearance
Russia is typically portrayed as tall slim and wearing an ushanka. They usually wear a (sometimes oversized) light blue striped shirt and jeans. Most fans when drawing them have them with bandages wrapped around their forearms, due to self-harm, which is seemingly linked to the death of their father, as many fans headcanon. They are often shown with a bottle of vodka.

Personality
Different sources depict them differently. Mostly, dark quiet and "dangerous." A lot of people headcanon that they suffer from depression and is often drunk due to drinking too much of their vodka.

Belarus
Russia's sister (Most of the fandom chooses Belarus's gender as a female) or friend, Belarus, is extremely close to them. People ship them sometimes, but people can also think of Belarus as one of Russia's family members or friend.

Ukraine
Russia is also extremely close to their sister. But their relationship is very complicated. It started when USSR, their father died, and he took Crimea – their child – away from her. Since then, they seemed to have despised each other, but since they are siblings, they are still close nonetheless and are even sometimes shipped with each other. This indicates that they do love each other beyond sibling friendship, and even have a daughter, Crimea.

Russia and ukraine have a bilateral relation between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The bilateral relationship between Russia and Ukraine formally started in the 1990s immediately upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union, of which both Russia and Ukraine had been founding constituent republics.

Interactions between the two areas of Russia and Ukraine developed on a formal basis from the 17th century (note the Treaty of Pereyaslav between Moscow and Bohdan Khmelnytsky's cossacks in 1654), but international-level relations ceased when Catherine the Great liquidated the autonomy of the Cossack Hetmanate in 1764. For a short period of time soon after the communist 1917 October Revolution two states interacted again.

In 1920, Soviet Russian forces overran Ukraine and relations between the two states transitioned from international to internal ones within the Soviet Union, founded in 1922. After the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991, Russia and Ukraine have undergone periods of ties, tensions, and outright hostility.

United States of America
America is sometimes an enemy, a friend, or their lover. Some of the fandom ship them from them becoming friends or them being enemies before, then forgiving them, or just in a love-hate situation.

Russia–United States relations refers to the bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia. The United States and Russia maintain diplomatic and trade relations. The relationship was generally warm under the Russian President Boris Yeltsin (1991–99) until the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia[1][2] in the spring of 1999, and has since deteriorated significantly. In 2014, relations greatly deteriorated further due to the crisis in Ukraine, Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, differences regarding Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War, and from the end of 2016 over Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. Mutual sanctions imposed in 2014 remain in place.

USSR
The relationship between each other was absolutely perfect. He loved his child and knew he loved him back. They did everything together. When USSR died, Russia became suicidal, depressed, completely negative, also started drinking. In the afterlife, the USSR feels terrible that his son is in this state. And wishes he could put a stop to it and make him feel better.

Trivia

 * Some fans assume that Russia's mother is, in fact, France, and despite the fact that it's unlikely, his father,  USSR, seemed to be somewhat close to France. Even though France is America's step-mom (depending on the person)
 * He is shipped a lot with Ukraine and  Belarus, despite the fact that they are siblings.
 * He is also shipped with America a lot in a "love-hate" relationship.
 * He is mostly depicted with vodka, a stereotypical drink associated with Russia.
