England (Arthur Kirkland)

He represents England, but also agreed with the other UK nations that he formally represents the United Kingdom. His human name is Arthur Kirkland.

England is a fanciful, blunt, obstinate former pirate who used to torment Spain. In modern times he claims to be a gentleman; however, he is cynical, sharp-tongued, prone to rough speech, and yearns for the golden years. He often uses British vocabulary. He is noted for being horrible at cooking which has caused America, his former charge, to have "bad" taste in food.

He can be described as "spacey" because of his strong belief in magic, spirits, fairies, and other fantasy creatures. He has the ability to perform magic, such as spells and curses, and can also summon demons and other magical creatures. He is able to communicate with supernatural beings and is not limited to creatures from his homeland, being able to interact with youkai and spirits from Japanese folklore. He also happens to have fantasy friends, such as a flying bunny, unicorns, fairies, gnomes. Despite this, England often ridicules America's belief in aliens and Tony.

England's interests include embroidery, craftsmanship, literature, rock music, and giving scathing criticisms to America's movies. He appears to be sharp-witted and surprisingly creative, although he seems to have rather bad luck. According to the author, he is rarely afraid of anything, and is rather interested in ghost stories. He also seems to be very stubborn and strong-willed and does not easily succumb to stress or pressure. He is shown to be startlingly mature at times and is very friendly with young or cute people and magical creatures. He also has a quite strong sense of responsibility and has been seen scolding France and America when they don't take things seriously.

Because of his status as an island nation, England is pretty distant and prefers to work alone. Perhaps because of this, he does not know how to express himself, leading to others often misunderstanding him. He is also depicted as being self-deprecating or tsundere. For example, despite his generally harsh behavior, he is definitely stated to have a softer side and seems to genuinely care for other nations. Despite all this, he highly values his country's pride, and sometimes comes over as very arrogant. Despite his cynical, realistic view of the world, he is said to be a "quite a romanticist before he goes to sleep." When drunk, he suddenly becomes very nostalgic, and the next morning, he'll pretend that nothing has happened. Also, every year when the Fourth of July comes around, his condition collapses.

England has brothers: Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland, who hate him and used to drive him away with stones and arrows when he was a child, and even went as far as to mail him curses. England is the youngest.

America: England and France fought for the right to be his older brother. Since then, England took his role as America's guardian very seriously and did everything he could to care for the young nation. However, their relationship became greatly strained when America sought his own independence and the two fought each other in the Revolution where England ultimately decided to give America his freedom as he did not wish to harm him. Their relationship seemed to recover over the next several decades although England still often criticizes America's choices as both his own country and the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces.

France: Despite the fact that both are members of the Allied forces, England and France have a deep-rooted historical rivalry. While they often have petty disagreements, they appear to respect each other and are quick to team up if a third party enters their argument. France once tried to marry England to save his country, even though neither of them really wanted it.

Japan: England gets along well with Japan. Since they both discovered they did not have many friends and were somewhat lonely, they formed a friendship with one another. Although admitting he didn't know Japan very well at first, England admires his polite nature and mature behavior.

Sealand: Sealand is England's youngest brother, an abandoned naval fort who declared himself a nation at the end of WWII. The two always bicker because Sealand wants to be recognized as a full-fledged nation and often sneaks into conferences the other countries attend.
