'''Prussia''' (プロイセン, ''Puroisen'') is a supporting character in the series '''Hetalia: Axis Powers'''. In his younger years, he is known as the '''Teutonic Knights'''<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/> and in modern day he represents the former '''East Germany''' and the present region of eastern [[Germany]]<ref name="impossiblegame">{{cite web|title=ドイツさんがムリゲーすぎる|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1240.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=August 23, 2011|accessdate=September 28, 2012|trans_title=Germany Is Playing An Impossible Game}}</ref> (though he remains a separate character from his younger brother and is generally only referred to as Prussia throughout the series). In 2008, Himaruya gave human names to some of the characters and he received the name '''[[Human names#Prussia|Gilbert Beilschmidt]]''' (ギルベルト・バイルシュミット, ''Giruberuto Bairushumitto'').

===Appearance===
Prussia has short, light-colored hair with asymmetrical bangs<ref name="Vol. 5 SE Pamphlet"/> and red eyes, though he first appeared in color images (circa 2007) with blond hair and blue eyes.<ref>{{cite web|title=４周年記念　のとさま５【おっぱいは無敵！】|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/ntsm5.htm|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|accessdate=March 3, 2009}}</ref> His hair varies between platinum blond<ref>{{cite web|title=インデクス|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-843.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=July 16, 2010|accessdate=September 17, 2009|trans_title=Index}}</ref>, white, or silver<ref>{{cite web|title=街中なのに青い|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-583.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2009|accessdate=July 6, 2009|trans_title=Nevertheless, The Whole Town Is Green}}</ref>, while his eyes have also been depicted as pink<ref>{{cite web|title=ホーエンツォレルン的な強気姿勢|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-919.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 25, 2010|accessdate=March 20, 2010|trans_title=A firm, Hohenzollern-like attitude}}</ref> or a dark red hue.

Himaruya noted that Prussia, like England and China, has a rather expressive face and is easy to draw with varying expressions.<ref name="Vol. 5 SE Pamphlet"/>

He and Austria are around the same age, Prussia being slightly older despite not looking it.<ref name="matome_heta"/>

He is seen in many images with at least one [[Creatures of Hetalia#Prussia|little yellow bird]]<ref>{{cite web|title=リクエスト|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-725.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=January 6, 2010|accessdate=June 17, 2010|trans_title=Requests}}</ref> upon his head or on shoulder which he appears to rarely notice<ref>{{cite web|title=おれさまのブログ|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/41blog.html|last=Beilschmidt|first=Gilbert (Prussia)|date=April 1, 2009|accessdate=June 17, 2010|trans_title=What's with this guy}}</ref>(however, the bird is often depicted with a hat, presumably given to it by Prussia.)

He wears a deep blue (''Prussian blue'') military uniform, akin to a Luftwaffen Fliegerbluse with an [[wikipedia:Iron Cross|Iron Cross]] on his tie. In the WWII-set '''Buon San Valentino''', he is shown to wear a ''Waffen SS'' uniform like his brother.

===Personality and Interests===
[[File:Chibiprus.jpg|thumb|right|Sketch of a young Prussia, then known as the Teutonic Knights.]]
Prussia was born to fight the same type of battles as [[Austria]], but was a hooligan who did nothing but fight and avoided any marriage.<ref name="Vol2prof"/> He loves fighting and will often say things in order to start quarrels.<ref name="matome_heta">{{cite web|title=どうでもいい設定集|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/matome_heta.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|accessdate=September 20, 2012|trans_title=Trivial Establishment Collection}}</ref> He will do anything to become strong<ref name="Vol2prof">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2008|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia|publisher=Gentosha|page=17|isbn=978-4-3448-1275-8}}</ref>, and has an arrogant attitude and a "world-sized ego"<ref name="Vol4Prof">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2011|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 4|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 4|publisher=Gentosha|page=13|isbn=978-4-3448-2233-7}}</ref>. Despite this roughness in his personality, he is said to be "unexpectedly fairytale-like," too.<ref name="Vol. 5 Prof"/> Himaruya has stated that he was originally a villain-like character, but over time, became more ''hetare'', but it doesn't show in his outward appearance.<ref name="Vol. 5 SE Pamphlet"/> Although he claims to enjoy being alone<ref name="Valentino">{{cite web|title=「ヴァレンティーノ最終章」|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/vale3.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=February 2, 2008|accessdate=September 27, 2009|trans_title=Valentino Final Chapter}}</ref> and that clustering is for the weak, he was brought to tears upon seeing Hungary and Austria together, though he admitted the tears were already welling up(however this was from his "love" for being alone and his "lack" of bitterness being surrounded by couples in the streets.)<ref name="Bloodbath1-5">{{cite web|title=クリスマス地獄編|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/chrismas_bonsai5.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=December 25, 2007|accessdate=September 27, 2009|trans_title=Christmas Hell Compilation}}</ref> It was stated that this loneliness stemmed from that he felt like an enclave rather than an actual nation. Despite feeling alone, he seems to have many friends, though when informed of this he gets rather quiet.<ref name="Ha11Overflow2">{{cite web|title=はみ出しハロウィーン(2ページ目)|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/hall2011_a2.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=November 5, 2011|accessdate=November 5, 2011|trans_title=Halloween Overflow(page 2)}}</ref> He's fought for his own survival since he was born and is very strong as a result<ref name="matome_heta"/>, and has even maintained this strength in modern times despite his status as region, forcing one of the Parallel Frances off of him and out of the house through a window with a single shove, after being attacked.<ref name="Xmas11-6">{{cite web|title=クリスマス2011|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/xmas20116.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=December 29, 2010|accessdate=June 1, 2011|trans_title=Christmas 2011}}</ref> In addition, in Noto-sama 5, it was said that he's much stronger than he looks.<ref name="notosama5">{{cite video game |title=[[kitayume:Notosama 5|Notosama 5]] |developer=Hidekaz Himaruya |date=2007 |platform=PC |scene=World Academy W-if you win Prussia's quiz battle |language=Japanese |quote="Clothes-changing Hungary has always been mine!" }}</ref> When Prussia drinks, he appears to become rather sleepy.<ref>{{cite web|title=フランスさんと！|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1210.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=July 14, 2011|accessdate=September 8, 2012|trans_title=France And!}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=ハッピーハロウィーン！|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/hall20115.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=November 7, 2011|accessdate=September 8, 2012|trans_title=Happy Halloween!}}</ref> Germany once said that Prussia "knows little about common sense."<ref name="Oresamablog-2">{{cite web|title=おれさまのブログ|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/41blog.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=April 1, 2009|accessdate=September 26, 2010|trans_title=I, Myself's Blog}}</ref> Deep down, it is said that his true nature is that of a punctual and diligent soldier and Germany's severe, methodical, serious big brother, though his bad manners (especially during his "transition period") mask it.<ref name="Vol3prof">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2010|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 3|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 3|publisher=Gentosha|page=18|isbn=978-4-3448-1938-2}}</ref> This is supported by Latvia commenting that Prussia was very punctual and never late for anything, very methodical, and very persistent in his diary writing, never missing a day. Latvia also said that Prussia "loots everything and opens all the drawers"<ref name="sealat">{{cite video game |title=すっごい！シーランド君とラトビアちゃん |developer=Himaruya Hidekaz |date=January 19, 2011 |platform=PC |language=Japanese}}</ref>, showing his methodicalness in a rather negative way. He's been stated to be a hard worker, but his exterior shows an "Not gonna do anything" face.<ref name="Vol. 5 Prof"/> Despite that he often seems to be lazy, he does seem to have his own work to do, or that he at least helps Germany with his, as he had a meeting with Switzerland about some important work<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> and he accompanied Germany to a world meeting in their Counting Sheep CD. During the meeting, he somewhat helped Germany with his presentation, making comments and asking questions here and there.

He is very loyal to his leaders, and had a strong attachment to [[wikipedia:Frederich II of Prussia|Frederich II]], known to him as "Old Fritz."<ref name="Vol2prof"/> He continues to hope that Old Fritz will watch over him<ref name="Oresamablog-1">{{cite web|title=おれさまのブログ|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/41blog0.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=April 1, 2009|accessdate=|trans_title=I, Myself's Blog}}</ref><ref name="Valentino"/> and that he'll be proud. Despite this, he was rather startled when he said that he hated women.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2011|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 4|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 4|publisher=Gentosha|page=76|isbn=978-4-3448-2233-7}}</ref> It is said, however, that he tends to become rather depressed if his history with Fritz is brought up due to this attachment.<ref name="matome_heta"/> A fan once requested Friedrich the Great praising Prussia a lot, to which Himaruya drew Prussia happily being pat on the head by Fritz who was off-screen.<ref>{{cite web|title=「Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs」でのイギリスいじりは異常|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-946.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=November 2, 2011|accessdate=September 15, 2012}}</ref> Prussia has also mentioned petting others in his character song, and had pet Latvia and a small bird on his blog, enjoying how soft they were,<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> so he seems to enjoy doing so to others as well, likely seeing it as some form of praise.

Prussia often affectionately refers to his younger brother [[Germany]] as "West," and hates [[Russia]]<ref name="Vol2prof"/> almost to the point of coughing up blood should he touch him (and losing four eyelashes otherwise)<ref name="Christmas2011">{{cite web|title=キタユメ。クリスマス2011|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/xmas2011.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=December 25, 2011|accessdate=December 25, 2010|trans_title=Kitayume. Chriustmas 2011}}</ref> though this may be an exaggeration on his part. He doesn't get along well with Austria, Hungary, or Poland,<ref name="matome_heta"/> and also seems to very much enjoy the company of the Italy brothers.<ref name="PruIta"/> Despite his hatred of Russia, because Germany is so strong, he's not freaked out by Russia very much anymore. He seems to be very proud of Germany for this.<ref name="Christmas2011"/> He often takes out his meddling on his neighbors and Russia.<ref name="Vol4Prof"/> Despite being the younger sibling, Germany has banned Prussia from using his computer<ref name="Ha11Overflow2"/> and grounded him at the end of Hetalia Fantasia 3.

It is revealed that he had kept diaries since he was formed, which led to him having an entire library of journals. Almost all of them start with passages that read "I'm so cool/I was so cool today."<ref name="Stupid Big Bro">{{cite web|title=リヒテンシュタインの兄バカ日記|url=http://www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/rih.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|accessdate=|trans_title=Liechtenstein's Stupid Big Brother Diary}}</ref> He also seems to be fond of cute things, such as small birds and stuffed pandas, and soft things, like a bird's feathers or Latvia's hair.<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> He loves new things and is sometimes a bit too free-spirited.<ref name="Birz11"/> Prussia has been shown to have little self-restraint, buying pandas from China<ref name="Oresamablog-3"/> and Hong Kong<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> under the pretense that they'd make him happy. In addition, he's said that he's fond of sleeping, fighting, Old Fritz, and eating, his fondness for eating being displayed in his going to England to eat lunch, him "only accepting" France's ability to cook well,<ref name="Oresamablog-3">{{cite web|title=おれさまのブログ|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/41blog3.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=April 1, 2009|accessdate=September 26, 2010|trans_title=I, Myself's Blog}}</ref> and his desire to get food from Italy and Austria with his brother in their Counting Sheep CD.

He seems to have a tendency to sneeze and find himself bored with or distracted from tasks, such as reading,<ref>{{cite web|title=ちょっと気分転換したらいい感じです|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-164.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=July 3, 2008|accessdate=September 26, 2010}}</ref> although he claimed to be "a wiz at cleaning(among other things)" and also seemed to be good at gardening,<ref name="kusoge"/> so it's possible his skills show when he is more focused. In his and Germany's Counting Sheep CD, after sneezing and growing bored of counting, Germany insists he continue to count, causing him to continue, also raising the possibility that he can continue to do things despite his own odds if encouraged. During Halloween 2011, he claimed he had a natural talent in everything he did, proving it by learning one of India's dances(and performing with him) in a month's time.<ref name="Ha11Overflow2"/> According to him he'd practiced the whole month. Italy then said that he was a very hard worker, to which Germany agreed.<ref name="Hallpg4">{{cite web|title=ハロウィーンまとめ(4ページ目)|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/hall20114.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=‎November ‎05, ‎2011|accessdate=November 5, 2011|trans_title=Halloween Summary(Page 4)}}</ref>

As a child he was rather religious, having personified the Teutonic Knights, a medieval military order. This is shown after he'd groped Hungary when they were young and, feeling her breasts having begun to grow in and realizing she was a girl, he prayed to God for forgiveness of his sin. God, however, asked him to tell him something new as, with the Pope's permission, he was allowed to do was he pleased, the rule likely being similar to that of the real-life Templars and Teutonic Knights, that he prayed for forgiveness afterwards.<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/>
Later in life, after the Battle of Tannenburg and being beaten up by Poland and Lithuania, Prussia calmed down, decided to be quiet, and lived under Poland's care and as something like his vassal, the Duchy of Prussia.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2010|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 3|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 3|publisher=Gentosha|page=119|isbn=978-4-3448-1938-2}}</ref> At this time, he said he was very modest and didn't stand out among his brothers, until the House of Hohenzollern strengthened him. Following that, he became a superpower and decided that the Germans needed to be a proper group. He then kicked Austria out and unified the German states, forming young [[Germany]]<ref name="Birz11"/> His training methods are like abuse and his strictness showed in training America during the Revolutionary War.<ref name="training-abuse"/>

At another fan request, Himaruya presented a "''Shobon Collection''"(shobon being a Japanese word that can mean "dejected," "lonely," or "depressed" depending on the context) featuring Prussia, Russia (with Latvia), and Germany (with Italy attempting to cheer him up by giving him a cat). Prussia, however, denied it, attempting to laugh it off.<ref>{{cite web|title=ショボーンコレクション|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-138.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 22, 2008|accessdate=September 20, 2012|trans_title=Shobon Collection}}</ref> He is said to to get upset at any words that sound like "mark", especially "maruku" (Japanese for "roundness"), "marukyu" (a Japanese grocery store chain), and the name "Mark".<ref name="Christmas2011"/> However, why this is has yet to be stated.

==Relationships==
===America===
''Main article: [[America]]''

Though there hasn't been much interaction between them, it was revealed that Prussia trained America in combat for the Revolutionary War. Initially he was worried about how he didn't know what he was thinking, and told himself to be cautious. However, after Prussia introduced himself he thought Prussia was friendly; he later realized that he was being serious when he said that his training methods were harsh, as they were like torture.<ref name="training-abuse">{{cite web|title=アメリカとプロイセン|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12_6.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=December 30th 2011|accessdate=December 29, 2011|trans_title=America and Prussia}}</ref> In more modern times, on a day the countries had gone to the beach, Prussia and America had a swimming race. According to Prussia, America swims very quickly, like a shark, making it impossible for him to win.<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> In the drama CD, Prussia lost because a wave knocked him back.

===Austria===
''Main article: [[Austria]]''

Prussia takes pleasure in annoying and humiliating Austria in whatever way he can, and fought against him in wars in the past, seizing [[wikipedia:Silesia|Silesia]] for himself in the ''War Of Austrian Succession''.

On numerous occasions, he finds himself alone and crying. Prussia will mention that he is happy alone unlike a certain "stupid aristocrat". In the Christmas Strips, Prussia has to tell himself that he would rather be alone than with others ''"because clustering is for the weak. Yeah, like that stupid aristocr--"''. Prussia often speaks negatively of Austria.

In the present day while living with his brother, Prussia freeloads off of Austria as well. In his blog, Prussia went to Austria's house and began to bother him by pulling on his cheek, amused and pleased at how stretchy it was. In the Maria Theresa arc of the anime, Prussia often attempted to make Austria beg for mercy during the battle. He also mentioned wanting a painter to come and paint Austria's face after he had lost the first battle, so that his failure could be etched into history.

===Cuba===
''Main article: [[Cuba]]''

Their relationship has only been shown in Prussia's blog as of yet. The two are possibly close, as Cuba calls him "big brother" and Prussia says that he'll look at his blog later once he noticed he had one. Why Cuba refers to him this way has yet to be stated. Cuba praised the maple syrup Prussia had been given by [[Canada]], telling him that if he thought it was simply another April Fool's joke that he should keep thinking that, but eat it anyway. He was also pleased when Prussia was happy after eating pancakes with the syrup.<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> He was also interested in seeing Prussia dance the way he had with India on Halloween during Christmas, asking Germany if that's why he was late.<ref>{{cite web|title=キタユメクリスマス２０１１|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12_7.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|accessdate=October 2, 2012}}</ref>

===England===
''Main article: [[England]]''

During the Seven Years War, England became Prussia's ally so that he could fight against France.<ref>{{cite web|title=マリアテレジアと七年戦争|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/7_s3.htm|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|accessdate=May 8, 2012|trans_title=Maria Theresa And The Seven Years War}}</ref> He was also sided with Austria in the War of Austrian succession. However, the moment he beat France, he declared neutrality, shocking both Prussia and Austria with his unreliability.<ref name="austrosucc">{{cite web|title=第一戦、あっさり負けました|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/mrt2.htm|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|accessdate=October 4, 2012|trans_title=The First Battle Was Quickly Lost}}</ref> In modern times, Prussia received a request to eat England's cooking on his blog. When he arrived for lunch, England looked incredibly happy, confusing Prussia. After sharing a picture of the food and happy England on his blog, everyone began to mourn Prussia, thinking he'd died. However, he'd collapsed and woke up shortly after, evident by the next picture he uploaded of distressed England, and he proclaimed that he was alive, calling everyone jerks for killing him off. England, upset by everyone's reaction to Prussia's supposed death, swore he'd make something delicious enough that they'd all compliment him for it next time.<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/>

===France===
''Main article: [[France]]''

France, along with Spain, is depicted as a close friend of Prussia's, stemming from their alliance against Austria during the War of Austrian Succession.<ref name="akuyuu">{{cite web|title=そして何とか出陣しました。|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/mrt.htm|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|accessdate=March 29, 2012|trans_title=Anyhow, They Then Departed For The Front}}</ref> Despite this closeness, it's possible that they have a somewhat negative relationship, as Prussia claimed he would acknowledge nothing about France but his cooking<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> and that when "Prussia" demanded that Alsace-Lorraine be returned to him, France said that he hated Germans.<ref>{{cite web|title=フランス兄さんからのありがたいお返事|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/fr_ohenji.htm|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|accessdate=March 29, 2012|trans_title=Grateful Replies From Big Brother France}}</ref> France has, however, admitted to knowing a lot about Prussia, though he didn't know whether or not he was a virgin.<ref name="Bloodbath1-5"/> In the omake for [[Cleaning Prussia]], he was shown to be spending time with France and Spain, telling them about his adventure cleaning the houses of the chosen countries. France was impressed that he was doing volunteer work "like Germany" to which Prussia claimed he overflowed with philanthropy--in response, France snapped that "Fighting with me was an act of philanthropy, huh!" However, when he offered to clean for them, he was quickly annoyed by their demands as France asked for some censored things to be cleaned and rearranged and Spain asked him to clean out his bad credit and the corruption in his government.<ref name="kusoge"/> In Prussia's blog, upon his "revival" from eating England's food, France became afraid that Prussia was a monster, though it was likely a joke as he'd invited him over to eat and take the bad taste from his mouth afterwards.<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/>

Prussia, France, and Spain also received a character song sung by the three of them called [[Overflowing Passion]].

===Germany===

Prussia is Germany's older brother and the one who formed him from the unification of his brothers, acting as the most brotherly one after his birth<ref name="Birz11">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2012|title=月刊コミックバーズ Axis Powers ヘタリア EP. 11|trans_title=Monthly Comic Birz Axis Powers Hetalia Episode 11|publisher=Gentosha|page=27}}</ref>, calling himself his "best big brother,"<ref name="kusoge">{{cite video game |title=[[Cleaning Prussia|おそうじプロイセンさん]] |developer=Hidekaz Himaruya |publisher=Kitakou Yumezakka 2010 |date=August 31, 2010 |platform=PC |version=1 |scene=Germany-option1 |language=Japanese |quote="That's right!

Fansite I, Myself's Site}}</ref> In modern times Prussia represents Eastern Germany, having been East Germany in his previous incarnation and now living as a region. Furthermore, Prussia has said that he and his brother have a "wall in their hearts" and that they need to get rid of it so that they can become a better, more effective country.<ref name="impossiblegame"/> Germany is shown to be annoyed by his brother's wild attitude and his tendency to buy strange things which clutter up their living room and make it hard to clean. He also sees him as having little common sense and is bothered by that he doesn't seem to help around the house.<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> [[File:Kujira3.jpg|230px|thumb|left|A Sketch of Prussia and Germany from a 2008 blog entry.<ref name="SketchesPost">{{cite web|title=落書き乱舞|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-72.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=‎June 2, 2008|accessdate=October 10, 2012}}</ref>]] However, Germany agreed that Prussia was a very hard worker<ref name="Hallpg4"/> and Prussia was later shown to be just as neat as his brother<ref name="We are"/>, though they acknowledge that they aren't very much alike at all(and were too absorbed in cleaning up and folding clothes to realize they were doing it together,)Germany saying that it would be too noisy if he were like Prussia.<ref name="Birz11"/> In the Halloween event of 2011, Prussia later tells India, after Germany performed a suplex on him when his part of their dance was over,<ref name="Hallpg4"/> that he suplexes on him when he's aggravated with things he's done, and that it's so regular it's nothing to worry about,<ref name="Ha11Overflow2"/> opening speculation that they fight physically regularly(though, as Prussia said, it didn't seem to be very serious as he did appear to be smiling despite it, and was unharmed afterwards.) It's revealed, in his and Germany's Counting Sheep CD, that he does find himself wanting to do "big brother" things for him, sometimes. About a month before the Halloween party, Germany banned Prussia from using the computer and he announced(on his Twitter, through his phone) that "if he won't let me make an appearance at the Halloween party, I'm going to stay in bed just to piss him off" implying he'd grounded him entirely. It was revealed, however, that Germany intended to have him go with him and Italy, however, Prussia told him to wait and see, which caused Germany to worry somewhat when he didn't see him at the party for some time.<ref name="Ha11Overflow2"/>

He seems proud of his strength and growth thus far, although he resents his stubbornness. His strength apparently makes him feel safe, as he is less afraid of Russia because of it.<ref name="Christmas2011"/> In addition, Germany seems to believe anything Prussia says that he cannot disprove, having believed Prussia when he told him how cool he was as a child until watching a video of him.<ref name="littlePru">{{cite web|title=キタユメ。|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=‎December 25, 2011|accessdate=October 2, 2012}}</ref> Prussia informed him that he might show up to the Christmas event, however he reminded him that he was very elusive and could appear at any time, prompting Germany to say that they always had to be prepared for him to show up.<ref>{{cite web|title=キタユメ。|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12_2.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=‎December 25, 2011|accessdate=October 2, 2012}}</ref>

===Hungary===
''Main article: [[Hungary]]''

She and Prussia were rivals as children, though Prussia also was called by her to assist in the defense of her house(and he was kicked out following his claiming the territory he was to protect.) Prussia and Hungary herself both believed Hungary to be male until he groped her chest, believing himself to be attacking a weak spot, only to feel that her chest was soft from her developing breasts. She revealed that she believed her penis would grow in before she grew up, proving to Prussia that she didn't already have one.<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/>

[[File:Gugigigi.jpg|thumb|230px|right|A drawing of Hungary and Prussia from the 2009 Christmas Requests.]]
She continued to believe she was male despite Prussia's attempts to inform her otherwise some time until she reached puberty. After a fight with Turkey she was badly injured and they happened upon one another. Though her injuries shocked him at first, he proceeded to say he'd need to do "some really intimate care" on her, telling her not to get the wrong idea, disturbing her. Tearing the cloth of his robe from over his crotch off, he attempted to force her to allow him to bandage her with it, before he noticed and was shocked by her breasts and began to tear a different part of his robe off to bandage her with. His reaction confirmed for her that she really was a girl. They parted ways after Prussia gave her the entirety of the robe. About a year later, she calmed down, began to wear dresses and settled down at Austria's house, beginning to work for him. Prussia recovered quickly from the concrete reveal of her gender and proceeded to treat her as he always would, going to Austria's house to see her and expressing confusion at her maid dress, demanding she take it off so they could go hunting. Shaking and smiling with discomfort, she claimed she, "unfortunately," was no longer interested in hunting and "their days began passing, just like this."<ref>{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2010|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 3|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 3|publisher=Gentosha|page=117-119|isbn=978-4-3448-1938-2}}</ref> Since he made fun of her problems during their younger years and went on a rampage at her house in the past<ref name="matome_heta"/>, Hungary dislikes him in the present and often hits him with her frying pan whenever the opportunity arises, especially if he's bothering Austria.<ref name="Oresamablog-3"/> Despite this, she admitted that she did not want Prussia to die as her life would be boring without him<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> and bandaged him up after hitting him in Austria's ending of '''Osōji Prussia'''.<ref name="kusoge"/>

In Notosama 5, Prussia claimed that "clothes-changing Hungary has always been" his upon finding Yamato and Noto spying on Hungary change in his personal spot to do so in, somewhat hinting at feelings he may have for her.<ref name="notosama5"/> A mascot chibi of them also had Prussia saying they should go eat lunch somewhere, with Hungary thinking that he never learns<ref>{{cite web|title=www.geocities.jp/himaruya/4gatu.html|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/4gatu.html|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|date=|accessdate=September 8, 2012|trans_title=Unrequited}}</ref>, implying this has happened more than once. The image's title, "Unrequited," may also imply a one-sided crush on Prussia's part.

===India===
''Main article: [[India]]''

Prussia and India are shown together in the 2011 Halloween event<ref name="Hallpg3">{{cite web|title=ハロウィーンまとめ(3ページ目)|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/hall20113.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=‎November ‎05, ‎2011|accessdate=November 5, 2011|trans_title=Halloween Summary(Page 3)}}</ref>, in which India invites Prussia to join him in making a magnificent entrance to America's party over Twitter. India is impressed with Prussia's ability to learn things very quickly, as he learned the complicated dance routine in a month, and remarks that he must have many friends as Prussia initially wanted to invite others to join the flashy entrance, but was limited to ten people because he would have to teach the dance to them all as well.<ref name="Ha11Overflow2"/>

When Germany performed a suplex on Prussia, India expressed concern for him later, before he remarked that it was a very usual thing for Germany to do(though India found it unusual and was somewhat shocked.)<ref name="Ha11Overflow2"/>

===Italy===
''Main article: [[Italy]]''

Prussia is shown to be very fond of Italy and often refers to him as "Ita-chan" in the original Japanese text. According to Himaruya, worrying about Italy is "a tradition from Prussia's time".<ref>{{cite web|title=イタリア軍の短パンセーラー服の可愛さは異常|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1078.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=March 8, 2011|accessdate=October 8, 2012|trans_title=The Cuteness of the Italian Army's Sailor Uniform Shorts is Abnormal}}</ref>Upon being asked by a fan, Himaruya said that Prussia grew attached to him some time ago when they fought together.<ref>{{cite web|title=確かこれはフィレンツェ|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1339.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=December 11, 2011|accessdate=September 20, 2012|trans_title=If I recall, this is Florence}}</ref> Prussia considers him 'cute' and is attracted to his and his brother's climate and topography<ref name="PruIta"/> and even asks him out on a date in the drama adaptation of his blog event, only for Italy to be oblivious to his question, being fixated on his bird. In the same CD, Germany says that Prussia is very good with Italy. In [[Osōji Prussia]] (''Cleaning Prussia''), if he chooses to go to Italy's house to clean, he states that he has clear ulterior motives to be praised by Italy. Upon arrival Prussia finds Italy asleep in his bed, and begins to stroke Italy's head. As he strokes Italy, he is reminded of the [[wikipedia:Risorgimento|Risorgimento]] as he did so, and happily daydreams about him and Italy on a gondola in [[wikipedia:Venezia|Venice]].

Italy has also praised Prussia for his hard work<ref name="Hallpg4"/> and was eager to join him and India in dancing during America's Halloween party.<ref name="Hallpg3"/>

In an older series of drawings, Prussia was shown blushing and breathing harshly while approaching a teenaged Italy, before embracing him, to his distress.

===Japan===
''Main article: [[Japan]]''

While their only canonical meeting was in Prussia's Cleaning game, in which he helps him clean after Japan misinterpreted his demands as enthusiasm, Himaruya has stated that their relationship is near inseparable, and that it was something he wanted to show in Prussia's April Fools blog, but didn't get to. It's also notable, that Japan calls him "''Prussia-kun''", emphasizing this. Prussia possibly goes to Japan's house very often, as he said that he "usually" has tea and manjuu when he goes. When they finished cleaning, to show his gratitude, Japan gave him the cakes he had previously been asking for, however the work exhausted Prussia, so he could "only" eat 34.

Also stated in the game, was Prussia's enjoyment of reading manga(he had attempted to learn to make his own, but he sneezed and abandoned the project), something he possibly got from befriending Japan.

===Latvia===
''Main Article: [[Latvia]]''

Though they've been shown as having little interaction in canon, it's said that Latvia hates the Teutonic Knights, one of Prussia's younger incarnations. Latvia also mentioned that he and Prussia worked together not long ago, presumably meaning when they were both part of the Soviet Union.<ref name="sealat"/> In more recent times, Prussia had pet Latvia and found his hair very pleasing to the touch.<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/>

===Poland===
''Main article: [[Poland]]''

Though the two have not appeared in many strips together, it is said that their relations are rather rocky due to Prussia having invaded and gone on a rampage.<ref name="matome_heta"/> A glimpse of their past is shown in the '''Polish-Swedish Wars''' strips, when [[Finland]] mentions the [[wikipedia:Battle of Grunwald|Battle of Grunwald]]. Prussia was shown to have nearly defeated Poland (and been prepared to kill him) until [[Lithuania]] intervened and defeated the Teutonic Knights (after having pretended to flee).

===Russia===
''Main article: [[Russia]]''

Prussia has stated that he hates Russia to the point of "losing four eyelashes" and being close to puking blood should he make physical contact, though this is likely an exaggeration. Despite this, he might be less afraid of Russia than others, as he explained that Germany's become so strong he's not freaked out by Russia as much anymore,<ref name="Christmas2011"/> and that he's sometimes meddlesome towards him and his neighbors.<ref name="Vol4Prof"/> Russia used to be bullied by Prussia when they were children, however more recently Russia was the one imposing himself on Prussia, wanting to befriend him.<ref>{{cite web|title=ありがとうございました！|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1101.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=March 31, 2011|accessdate=October 4, 2012}}</ref> It was said that Prussia was stuck living at Russia's house and doing unprofitable jobs after WWII,<ref name="matome_heta"/> when he was East Germany and part of the Soviet Union. Russia seems to want to befriend him in modern times, and he was somewhat friendly towards him during his April Fools blog, especially when he mentioned that he napped at Greece's house where it was warm,<ref name="Oresamablog-2"/> and when he went to bed, wishing him good night and asking him if it was warm when he did so.<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> While Prussia had, initially responded negatively, he seemed to calm down regarding Russia's presence on his blog over time. Prussia has been stated to occasionally get [[wikipedia:Ostalgie|Ostalgic]] and, when he gets Ostalgic enough, Russia will appear to impose himself on him.<ref name="impossiblegame"/>

In the strips depicting the Battle of Lake Peipus, young Russia is shown to be very angry at the Teutonic Knights' carelessness in regards to their movement to attack on the lake, despite that it was covered in thin ice and that Russia had warned him not to, strangling him while he attempted scolding him. However, Russia hoped that the next time they met they would be friends, instead of enemies. Prior to that, young Prussia was one of the countries who would bully Russia. However, when Russia summoned general Winter to fight him and the others who were chasing him, it was revealed that there was no effect as they'd all been raised from birth in cold places.<ref name="rusandfriends"/>

It's somewhat notable that Prussia was once stated to exist in modern times as [[wikipedia:Kaliningrad Oblast|an exclave of Russia's]]. However the same sentence stated that he lived with Germany<ref name="Vol3prof"/> and more recent notes and developments indicate this may have been an error or rectonned due to inaccuracy.

===South Italy===
''Main article: [[South Italy]]''

Himaruya stated, in answer to a fan's question, that Prussia and Romano often met when they were younger. As a child, Romano disliked him and wanted to fight him, however he was too afraid of him to do so and merely kept his distance, attacking him verbally. In contrast, Prussia holds the same feelings for Romano as he does for Veneziano, and he is always attracted to their climate and topography.<ref name="PruIta">{{cite web|title=ヘタリアファンタジア３|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1297.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 31, 2011|accessdate=November 5, 2011|trans_title=Hetalia Fantasia 3}}</ref> In a request for the 2011 Christmas Event a comic was drawn of Romano working as Prussia watched. After briefly exchanging words in regards to Romano being a surprisingly hard worker and his lack of footwear at the time, he fell asleep and Prussia continued to watch him do so with a contented expression. Throughout the comic, Romano was not openly hostile towards Prussia.<ref name="Christmas 2011-8">{{cite web|title=キリクエスト「いつもとは違ったロマーノ」
|url=http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/2011_12_8.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 1, 2012|accessdate=July 11, 2012|trans_title=Different Than Usual Romano}}</ref>

After the comic(presented in-universe as a video) ended, Romano commented that he felt gloomy from how many times he got stuck associating with Prussia.

===Switzerland===
''Main article: [[Switzerland]]''

When Prussia and Switzerland were both young, Prussia was concerned by that Switzerland seemed so angry at all times despite having never talked to him, and decided that wanted to avoid him.<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/> Himaruya listed Switzerland as a relative of Germania, like Prussia, making them related in some way.<ref name="chri11re"/> On his blog, Switzerland came to Germany and Prussia's house to have a meeting with Prussia, which he agreed to do despite that he was falling asleep.<ref name="Oresamablog-1"/> Prussia went to Switzerland's house in [[Osōji Prussia]], however he wasn't allowed in as Switzerland felt he was suspicious and he "won’t let someone who has no relationship to me to enter my home!" Prussia then declared that he could work on the flowers in the window, as they were not inside of the house, which Switzerland allowed and joined him in, saying he'd considered doing it that day anyway. Switzerland was annoyed when Prussia praised the flowers he'd grown, however he wasn't as angry as he'd acted, as they were not often praised. When they'd finished and Prussia was about to leave, Switzerland stopped him before giving him flowers from the mountains, saying he was unsure if they'd grow in Prussia's home. Seeing Prussia's honest, hard work, Switzerland considered inviting him in for goat's milk, however his pride got in the way and he didn't want to chase Prussia down. Prussia stopped to buy something to drink before leaving, however he noticed the high price and thought that he would never be able to live at Switzerland's house. This was labeled a Bad End.<ref name="kusoge"/>

==Appearances==
===Anime===
[[File:PrussiaAnime.png|thumb|left|200px|Prussia's cameo in Episode 10]]

Prussia briefly appears in [[Episode 10]], during the era of "The War Of Austrian Succession." He is shown beating up Austria until France comes along and takes over.

[[File:Prussia_Screencap.png|thumb|200px|Prussia's formal debut in Episode 24]]Prussia later returns in [[Episode 24]], where he's once again seen teasing Austria, this time hindering his attempts to impress Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Prussia has a very important role in [[episode 64]] and [[episode 65]] during The War of the Austrian Succession.

Prussia has a much bigger role in [[Episode 79]] when he is shown trying to convince his brother Germany to drink the beer being offered around. Prussia then proceeds to pester Germany with different methods such as threatening to enforce a rule where Germany has to go around the city wall of Rotenburg naked.

In the anime, his hair is platinum blond and his eyes are a deep red. His cross and gloves were removed, and his tall boots were initially removed as well but reappeared in Episode 79.

Although it is widely believed that he was voiced by the seiyū '''Subaru Kimura''', no one was credited for the role of Prussia in the Episode 10's ending credits, and it was later revealed that [[Atsushi Kousaka]] had actually voiced him (doing an impression of Kimura's voice for '''Gian''', from the series [[wikipedia:Doraemon|Doraemon]]). According to a ''Comic Birz'' interview, [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] approved the casting of Prussia, having anticipated that Kousaka would fit the character.

==Trivia==
*[[File:TeutonicKnight prototype.gif|thumb|tight|The prototype Teutonic Knight design]]No birthday was given for Prussia in his first official profile. However, in the anime guide ''World Wide Walking'', his birthday was finally listed as '''January 18th''', which corresponds with the foundation date for the ''Kingdom Of Prussia ''('''January 18th, 1701''').
*As a child, Prussia was originally a field hospital, protected by the German Knights in Jerusalem and then became part of the [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Teutonic Knights]] after the knights who had been protecting him had been called to Hungary to protect Burzenland.<ref name="Stupid Big Bro"/> However, in Volume 4 Prussia was said to have been raised in a cold place,<ref name="rusandfriends">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2011|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 4|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 4|publisher=Gentosha|page=71-74|isbn=978-4-3448-2233-7}}</ref> contradicting his initially given origin. Himaruya also stated that Prussia began as the Margraviate of Brandenburg, however it's possible that he merely meant Prussia as the Kingdom and not Prussia, the character.
*The type of flag used to represent Prussia is the one for '''The Kingdom Of Prussia''', which lasted from 1701-1918. It was succeeded by '''The Free State Of Prussia''', its final incarnation before it was dissolved ''de jure ''by the Allied Forces in 1947. In the web-hosted Simple Character Introductions a modern day German flag was used despite naming him only as Prussia.
*A production note by Hidekaz Himaruya states that Prussia was under Russian control after WWII and was stuck having to work jobs that made him no profit,<ref name="matome_heta"/> implying Prussia was [[wikipedia: East Germany|East Germany]]. A scrapped Hetalia game idea by Himaruya has also given some weight to the theory: in the game, the nations are instead humans living in New York City. One of the characters was described as an East German man, and had a very similar personality to Prussia. However as this game never went any further, it is also uncertain. In 2011, drawings about the European Economic Chrisis revealed that Prussia is prone to Ostalgie and that he says that he and Germany must get rid of the "wall in our hearts" so that Germany can become better,<ref name="impossiblegame"/> proving that he was East Germany, and that he currently represents the eastern region of Germany.
*A sentence in the third volume of the published manga lends evidence to the idea of him being the [[wikipedia:Kaliningrad Oblast|Kaliningrad Oblast]], as it is mentioned that he had become an exclave of Russia's.<ref name="Vol3prof"/> However the same sentence stated that he lived with his brother and more recent notes indicate that this may have been an error or retconned.
*An old sketch by Himaruya depicted a much different representation of '''The Monastic State Of Teutonic Knights'''. Instead of a younger Prussia, the Teutonic Knight has long, dark hair and a beard.
*In a production note, Himaruya stated that he also initially designed a Prussia that had long hair and a face like Poland's, and that his personality was to be a lot more mature and pitiful. He also noted that his hair style had not been fixed and that his head was covered with a hat.<ref name="matome_heta"/>
*According to Himaruya, although Prussia is older than Germany, he is shorter in comparison due to having poor nutrition.
*In 2010, Prussia starred in the downloadable mini-game [[Osōji Prussia]], in which he cleaned the homes of various characters. In response to a question about what Germany's brothers in the Germany segment, it was clarified that Prussia and his brothers (sans Germany) are "retired" nations that passed on their skills and traits to Germany, and will disappear over time.<ref>{{cite web|title=スイスさんちはスイスさんと何らかの関係がないとなかなか滞在できないんだぜ！|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-874.html#more|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=September 4, 2010|accessdate=}}</ref>
