Finally, the Rest of the Volume 3 Profiles!
So, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? You can thank the strikers in France, they encouraged me to finish. Of course, that's probably a terrible reason, but it was because I was listening to the radio and it was actually talking about the things mentioned in the profiles, which certainly amused me.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of problems here, so please point them out!

Page 16
France
A snobby, art-consumed older brother.
Though he appears showy, in certain circumstances he can be subdued!
Recently, he has become more agreeable to farmers!
His hobbies are hosting art galleries, striking, and leaving Paris!
Page 17
Russia
A biiig, gentle, and naive nation!
He isn't malicious, just extremely scary!
With people other than his friends, he becomes shy and unsociable!
That's right! He thinks all of you are friends!
China
A loss-hating, patronizing, free immortal!
Ordinarily halfhearted, in recent years he's completely changed and now makes a serious effort!
Although he is old, his wallet is lonely, and wants to be given anything!
Of course he does tai chi chuan in the morning!
(Tai chi chuan, 太極拳, actually taì jí quán in pinyin, is a type of martial arts that is mostly done as an excercise, and is reeeeally slow. In China, people often gather together in large groups and do it together. Personally, I find it rather boring, but maybe that's just me.)
Lithuania
A serious young man with a strong body!
More serious than Germany and worse at understanding jokes!
He used to be awesome, but recently he hasn't been blessed by his bosses!
Page 19
Sweden
A methodical, taciturn, quiet, argument-loving northern country!
In reality, he is full of emotion, but his face doesn't show it!
His fingers are skillful, but his social disposition is awkward!
His canning areas have become dangerous weapons!
Finland
A calm, with slightly eccentric ideas, mystery boy! (Kanji here says fushigi-kun, which is literally mystery-kun, so I'm approximating that as boy. If anyone has any better ideas, though, they're quite welcome.)
He appears silent, but chats, although in a quiet voice!
He'll let you poke him up to ten times, but past that he'll return it many times over, so you better stop!

Switzerland
He appears to be a hikikomori and moody, but surprisingly, he is a kind, meddlesome person! (Hikikomori basically means shut-in, but kind of more severe, I guess. Read Wikipedia if you want a serious version, or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei if you want a humorous version of hikikomori.)
Though he claims to be permanently neutral and appears peaceful, in reality he employs universal conscrition for protection!
The area by his window is decorated by flowers, and if they aren't put there, a warning will come!
Netherlands
The solemn, neat freak, downer, Hokuriku-dialect speaking, scheming older brother. (Hokuriku is the region west of Tokyo on the Japan Sea side of Japan.)
Of course he goes Dutch. Of course his kitchen and garden maintenence is flawless.
By the way, he loves bunnies!
The raw materials for his cooking come from Germany!
61
(I do not feel like translating that other block of text at the moment. Sorry;;;)
Belgium
A cheerful, good-natured, but slightly nosy older sister.
She's scary when she's mad!
Netherlands
A neurotic, solemn, free older brother.
Hates tied things and messy gardens.
Also, take a look at the lovely scanlations jammerlea did of the ones so far! here and here.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of problems here, so please point them out!
