Transnistria

Transnistria is a fanmade character for Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, an unrecognized country between Moldova and Ukraine. His human name is Petrisor Popescu.

Appearance
Petrisor has thick blonde hair and golden eyes. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt with a silver tie, black slacks and brown leather shoes. He has a helmet with the flag of Transnistria on his head, and an amulet shaped like a hammer and sickle on his necklace and bracelet. He also has a tattoo of the hammer and sickle on his shoulder.

Personality and Interests
Petrisor is a patriotic person, and he fought his brother Moldova (Aurel Popescu) in 1992 about his independence. He received help from Russia (Ivan Braginski) and Ukraine (Yekaterina Braginskaya) volunteered some of her soldiers to his side.

He has established friendships with other unrecognized nations that came from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and together they formed the Community for Democracy and Rights of Nations. All of them, but Petrisor in particular, have a hatred for Sealand (Peter Kirkland) because unlike them, he never fought for his independence, instead preferring to get the attention of other nations in order to be recognized.

Romania (Anica Popescu)

Anica and Petrisor have a good, if somewhat troubled, relationship. As a sort-of protective mother, she considers it in Petrisor's good interests that he remain with his brother Moldova, but he would have none of it. She supported Aurel when the two fought in 1992, but she agrees to a ceasefire agreement proposed by Russia later on.

Aurel and Petrisor are just one of the quarrelling brothers in the Hetalia world (Germany/Prussia and North/South Italy, just to name a few) and their fight in 1992 quickly became a shooting war. Anica came to Aurel's side, and the two fought one even when Ivan and Yekaterina got involved. Today, he tells the other nations that Petrisor is still de jure with him.

Ivan was drawn into Aurel and Petrisor's conflict because his 14th Army was there watching the two fight it out. He had them fight on behalf of Petrisor's forces, and he sometimes came down there himself to observe. On a visit to his house, Ivan told Petrisor and his people to obtain their independence.

Ukraine (Yekaterina Braginskaya)

Yekaterina and some of her Cossacks volunteered to fight on Petrisor's side. Strangely, though, she and her brother Ivan didn't recognize his independence to the other nations.

Ziv and Petrisor formed the Community for Democracy and Rights of Nations along with South Ossetia (Eduard Turashvili) and Nagorno-Karabakh (Malik Tooligian). They all recognize each other's independence.

Petrisor has a certain respect for Eduard because he fought for his independence from Georgia (Ludmilla Shevardnadze) the longest.

Principality of Sealand (Peter Kirkland)

If Petrisor sees Eduard as God, then he sees Peter as the devil. He calls him fal'shivka (Russian for fake) because he tries to get the attention of other nations to be recognized, whereas Petrisor fought for his independence the hard way: through armed conflict.

Igor Smirnov
