Interpersonal
relationships:

Their perception of time is different, which makes it
difficult for them to establish close relationships with their citizens.

Ex: Canada spent
an entire weekend staring at Kumajiro’s eyelashes without realizing it [x]. 

Ex: Young America
befriends Davie, and the two spend their time searching for a blue flower. America
leaves and goes, finding Davie as a young adult and again as an old man with grandchildren. 

Since time runs differently for nations, it’s dangerous for
humans to be close to them for too long. Himaruya cites that because time is so
warped for the nations, a human wouldn’t be able to be around one for so long
without losing their mind. Essentially,
the nations’ immortality would rub off on these humans but at a grave cost [x].

Ex: England was
careful not to spend too much time with Howard. Nonetheless, in a blog post, Himaruya claimed that it’s possible that Howard may have retained his youth and lived longer than the average
human [x]. 

On the other hand, the nations’ immortality can rub off onto their pets without any consequences. Animals don’t possess the same cognitive
skills to comprehend time the same way as a human can. If an animal remains as
a nation’s companion, they’ll age so long as they’re constantly with each
other. Should the pet not be around their nation, they would resume aging [x]. 

Lastly, another factor to consider is that the nations are
too preoccupied with “diplomatic talks, fights, and being commanded around by
their bosses.” This makes it even more difficult for them to form external personal relationships,
although there are instances where the nation forms strong relationships with their
bosses [x].

Status and Class:

I’ve talked about this before, but the nations aren’t celebrities
warranting high-end protection with limitless wealth.

Instead, they’re treated casually as if they’re any other
citizen.

Ex: They have passports [x]. 

It’s not “Oh my God! That’s France!”

but more like…

“Yeah, that’s him. Go, see him
for yourself,” [x]. 

The nations aren’t inherently wealthy either. Their wealth
and well-being depends on their economy (primarily their GDP).

Ex: France experiences an economic crisis and his wallet
runs dry [x]. 

In terms of housing, Himaruya’s said that the homes the
nations live in change depending on the era.

Ex: America first lived in a log cabin, then an “austere
English-style building in the suburbs, and now lives in an apartment building
near New York. Meanwhile, Italy’s lived in the same house and has remodeled it
over the years [x]. 

Ex: The American trait of living lavishly is reflected in
America’s present “luxurious” style of life. Using Italy again, he can’t afford
his electricity bill because he spends all his money on clothes instead [x] [x].  

Ex: During “periods of peace” (I’m guessing the original
question was referring to eras without political conflict), Japan is said to be
“a young man leading an ordinary life with a strangely high rank that nobody questions
(i.e., for someone so youthful, he’s doing pretty well for himself) [x]. 

As mentioned in previous posts, we already know that the nations
are subordinates to their heads of state. Said control is very extensive [x] [x]. 

Ex: England’s boss once limited his consumption of alcohol
and sweets [x] [x].

Work:

The nations all work for their bosses and attend meetings
(e.g., world meetings, EU meetings) [x] [x]. 

Some nations even go to school for post-secondary education. 

The type of work depends on their national industries.

Ex: America has done a hair iron commercial before [x].
