Lu still has grievances about Portugal's government over him, like the exploitation of his natural resources and limitation of his trade agreements. More than that do well. Both share a great love for cod, sometimes tend to get carried away and talk for hours about it leaving the rest of the people without understanding anything. Lu likes to call him "sweet curmudgeon" from time to time, which irritates.

Russia also asks if he would like to be a "one with him" and Luciano says no.

India

India is a cousin to Luciano, as a result of Portuguese colonization. Both get along well and like to take pictures style "swag" with sunglasses. They always come together to have fun too, especially watching Indian films together, not mess with India because Brazil has a truncheon that he's not afraid to use.
