I think I’ve come to a fair conclusion.

I keep coming back to this thought I've been having. As personifications, how much of a nations self is truly their own. Are they able to have their own individually developed likes, dislikes, or opinions in the way mortal human can. How much of a role do experiences play in how nation conduct themselves. At the same time, how much of their true self is simply a projection of the mortal humans they represent. Do nations with populations in the billions and millions have all of those people in their heads 24/7. At the end of the day are they simply all of their people mushed together into a personification.

As always wishing we had more on the Latin American countries. I want to explore the differences in how Spain brought up them vs Romano. What with them being across the Atlantic, scattered across the American continent, and only a couple centuries old children. While Romano was in Europe so it was easier for him to live in Antonio's main house for the majority of the time, he's already been a tiny kid for like a millennia, and has the baggage of being a sought out territory due to its historical significance (not to mention his baggage from being compared to his more talented brother Veneziano). And though there's a lot of overlap in the time which Antonio was raising them, he'd be a very different caretaker/guardian to each.
