Black Feli

A term/nickname for a darker-themed version of Italy, when shown in more serious-themed fanworks.

A nickname for Switzerland, originating from a strip where Japan imagines what he would be like as a pretty girl in the Alps.

Brother Nordic

A nickname used for Denmark, that first originated from Pixiv.

Chibi Nations

Most of these terms are a combination of the word Chibi (little) with part of the nation's name at the end.

A name used for the child version of America.

Chibiost

A name used for the child version of Austria (from Österreich, its German name).

A name used for the child version of Prussia (as a Teutonic Knight). The "pu" comes from the first syllable of Puroisen, the katakana rendering of Preußen (Preussen, the German name for Prussia).

A name used for the child version of England (from Igirisu).

East Germany

A fanon term (so far) for post-WWII Prussia, most prevalent in fanworks where he survives the dissolution of his country and represents the eastern half of Germany (post-war). It was coined in part due to the fact that Prussia refers to his brother as "West" when the actual nation of Germany wasn't split apart until after WWII.

In this hypothetical incarnation, he is also referred to as simply GDR (German Democratic Republic) or GDR!Prussia. In canon, Prussia's exact status in the modern day is something that currently remains to be seen, though the 2009 April Fool's event on Kitayume and its related strips still listed him as Prussia.
