===Appearance===
 +
Germany is a tall, muscular man, with sleek blond hair and blue eyes; his facial features strongly resemble those of [[Germania]]. He wears either a green [[wikipedia:World_War_II_German_uniform|Wehrmacht]], or a [[wikipedia:Uniforms_and_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel|Waffen-SS]] officers' uniform with a [[wikipedia:List_of_military_decorations_of_the_Third_Reich#Military_valor_decorations|Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross]] on the collar. In early webcomic chapters that take place during WWI, he wore a gray-blue [[wikipedia:World War II German uniform#Waffenrock|Waffenrock]] uniform (as seen in colored artwork) characteristic of the German army uniform of that period (the color of this uniform was changed to green for the anime). However, the black cuffs and white piping may also suggest Germany wears a [[wikipedia:Schutzpolizei|Schutzpolizei]] administration uniform.

Very nice site!

===Personality and Interests===
 +
He is a tough, too-serious, and efficient man who always abides by the rules and is "weak to" them. He often has difficulty leaving his commanding, serious mode and relaxing, even for the sake of another.  Germany has to deal with an unreasonable boss along with the troublemaking [[Italy]]. He does not tolerate any mistakes, is a neat freak, and happens to have a rather pessimistic nature. Volume 3 also revealed that he has a sincere personality. In [[Episode 32: With Grandpa Rome|Episode 32]], he reveals to [[Ancient Rome]] that he has a lack of experience when it came at relationships, and tells [[Austria]] a similar story in the "Buon San Valentino" strips. His hobbies include making sweets (including his secret love of baking cakes), reading, and walking his dogs. In [[Episode 08]], Italy accidentally admits to [[England]], [[America]] and [[France]] that Germany is a sadist and a fan of BDSM. It was said, in an earlier profile, that his pent up anger is released when he has beer. In [[Episode 79]], it is shown that his usual drinking buddy is his elder brother Prussia.
