One thing that angers a lot of people and bothers me personally is Hungary’s relationship with Austria when she was living with him. She should have hated him because of how her people felt at the time. Why didn’t she?

That’s not necessarily
true, though.

In one of her
character notes, it states this:

“ She does have
defiant feelings about being under Austria’s rule but at the same time she
harbours complicated, yearning like feelings towards him. ”

I think the point to differentiate is that the
nations are both historical personifications and people in their own right.
Hungary could have hated Austria for being, well, Austria, and yet yearned for
him as a person. [x]

That’s what I believe Hima’s getting at here.
