First, I just want to thank you both for participating. I really
appreciate it 😀
My theory accounts
for this:
1)
The nations are
cultural personifications
“Usually, when the culture or the country’s personality dies/ disappears, the country would gradually disappear or entrust him/ herself to the country that takes over him/ her.
There are also cases that him/her is not a country but continues to live leisurely as a representative of a region.”

Countries.
The nations are cultural personifications. They
exist when people unite under a common cultural identity. As such, this may
account for the reasons why there are separate personifications for Ancient Egypt
and Greece and Ancient Greece and Greece etc. However, I do agree that the
rules of this are arbitrary and inconsistent if you look at nations like China
and Japan, who don’t have ancient counterparts. Which brings me to my next
point:
2)
The nations are
described as “strange beings.”
Because of this, not everything that happens can be explained with an ascribed logic. It’s canon for nations to arbitrarily last
for as short as a few days to 1000s of years. Nations can also keep living and
change their titles over time. For example: Hungary was originally born as an equestrian
tribe and Prussia was originally born as a catholic order.
Therefore, it’s not an easy fix because no rules
were broken.

On the other hand, given that World Stars is
recent, the “easy fix” argument can still be countered. Himaruya’s been hinting
of the Holy Rome = Germany connection since the first original web chapters
(2006).
See: Hetare 4, Pact of Steel + Hetare 5, Lietuvis.
My theory also
accounts for this:
1) France never killed
Holy Rome in the deleted strip.
He only notified Italy that Holy Rome had died.

Rome is no more
2) Cultural personifications
x 2
I’m going to sum up my main points, as I’ve already
written and explained this in greater detail:
- Basically, because the nations are cultural personifications, the switch
from Germany to Holy Rome didn’t consist of a significant change in culture.
They both represented the German people. Germany represented the consolidated nation
of the previous sovereign states that Holy Rome represented. - Holy Rome didn’t die right away after his dissolution–this ties in
with the fact that as long as the culture exists, the personification won’t die
right away.

- Holy Rome became sick because of fragmentation
and disunity but nonetheless existed because of the culture. This is consistent
with the rule where nations get sick if their economy or political situation
isn’t stable

- This then escalated to him being on his deathbed after dissolution. On
top of the culture still existing, it’s still possible for personifications not
to die even after their culture/ personality (essence) disappears

- The switch from Germany to Holy Rome is consistent with the rule of
personifications being able to change titles.
