Character: The Principality of Sealand/Peter Kirkland
Series: Axis Powers Hetalia
Character Age: 12
Canon: In real life, the Principality of Sealand is a micronation on Roughs Tower, off the coast of England. It was an abandoned UK sea fort from WWII, until one day someone decided that they would take it for their own needs, and proclaimed it an independent sovereign state. Its motto 'E Mare Libertas' (From the Sea, Freedom) is a fancy way of expressing the Sealand philosophy of I Can Do Whatever I Want, Nyah Nyah, So There. Through the miracles of legal loopholes it manages to avoid the UK doing anything about it, and for the most part the world just smiles and nods, and ignores Sealand entirely. Everyone except Axis Powers Hetalia--a comic dealing with international relations, if the different countries were personified as different wacky characters.
The personification of this particular 'country' is much as you would expect: a 12-year-old, hyperactive boy constantly clamoring for attention and shunning his big brother, that jerk England. He has an amazingly persistent brand of optimism that keeps him working at becoming a great country, even when all of his peers outright ignore him. In fact, his long-term goal is joining the G8 and becoming one of the biggest, baddest countries around! You know, when he's not distracted by little things like Power Rangers, the Internet, auctioning himself off for money, his country catching on fire... (note: America is kindly hosting the image to preserve anonymity.)
Sample Post: Hey everyone! It's me, your pal Sealand! But right now I'm on vacation--I mean, on an ambassador visit. I heard about this place and I just had to come check it out!! This place is in Louisiana, but it isn't actually Louisiana, so there's no way it actually counts as part of America! It's in its own dimension! And now that I'm here, I'll just say that makes it Sealand's dimension! HAIL SEALAND! E Mare Libertas! Now to work on the colonization efforts. There's already a whole town here, so that means it's the best place to found Sealand's capital city!!
So, everyone here part of Camp... Camp... Okay guys, first of all we're changing the name! From now on, this place is New Sealand! It's still part of Sealand, okay? It's just the NEW part! And it's way better than stupid New York, and London, and any other city! It's probably going to be even better than all of New Zealand too, so don't get them confused. New Sealand will be the best city in the whole world!
Anyway, all of you guys are now citizens of the great and mighty country of Sealand! I don't want to hear you saying you like any other countries better or I'm not going to give you an official passport. But since you're already living here, you can have a discount on nobility titles~! Now only $19.99 in Sealand dollars! Also known as $19.99 USD. So, let's see how many people are supposed to be... oh wow! Oh wow!! Jackpot!! YES! This is great!! With this many citizens, I have to be recognized now! I should totally take over summer camps more often! Plus, it already has a website, and everyone knows that having an official website is the one true way to legitimacy! The Internet wouldn't lie.
And look at alllll this cool stuff! I bet that jerk England doesn't have any purple gorillas! Purple gorillas are definitely the official mascot of Sealand. I'm going to put them on the flag somewhere. And you, you look like you're the biggest one! You can be the official royal gorilla. It's a very prestigious job, but I trust you with the responsibility. Basically it means you have to give me gorilla-back rides! Hahaha, WHEEEE~! Whoa, hey, be careful!! I'm going to fall o--uwaaaaaaauuughhhaaagaahhh!! Owwwww! F-Fine, never mind! I wanted the tentacle monster as my mascot instead anyway!
Hey, who says I'm not old enough for that? Just because I'm a little younger than the other countries doesn't mean you have to stick me with some weird dumb bear instead. I'm a grown-up official country and I can have whatever mascot I want! Sealand will not bend to your cruel ultimatum! ...hey, Mr. Bear, you're giving out candy? THE OFFICIAL BEAR OF SEALAND IT IS!
