What are the rules of nationhood?

I’ve compiled a reference guide for those new to the fandom or who just want to brush up on the material. I refer to these chapters/strips all the time. 


World Stars Chapter 1
– Outlines how the nations exist, die, and can possibly be reincarnated. 


World Stars Chapter 12
– Germany’s birth (German Unification)

World Stars Chapter 20 – Italian Unification: Gives the reason for why Italy has two personifications, while also differentiating it from German Unification.


World Stars Chapter 114
– Iceland’s birth: Depicts how the nations can randomly appear one day.


It’s a Treasure Box of Countries:

– What happens to a nation when they lose their status as a personification.
– Why and how micro-nations exist.
– How new micro-nations form. (Lavonia, Molossia etc.)
– How humans can achieve micro-nation status (NikoNiko)
– What happens when a human who gains micro-nation status relinquishes it (NikoNiko)


2013-2014 Halloween Event:

– How humans can achieve micro-nation status (NikoNiko)
– What happens to NikoNiko after he becomes human again.
