Vatican City (Empiretalia)

Description

Vatican is a calm type of person who enjoys staying on his own. He’s very solitary at times but also very popular. He’s the smallest recognized nation in the entire world. He’s very loyal but also very unexpressive and unemotional at times. He’s also very angry towards people who bother him but fakes to smile at them so he can help them out but also keep his artsy and nice façade. Some people say he hides dark secrets

Appearance 

Greg is different from all the other Italians, because of this he labeled himself the black sheep because of his looks and also his country in general since his mother tongue is Latin and not Italian. He has blonde hair and brown eyes. His hair is fairly short behind but it seems longer on the sides and in front. He usually wears the Swiss Guards military uniform that is of a dark blue color alongside the military hat that is the same color as the uniform. He wears a white furred sleeveless jacket that has a vertical stripe pattern of blue and orange stripes. He wears boots underneath the uniform pants. On his waist there’s a black belt that makes the clothes puffier and ‘cooler’. He does care about his appearance a lot because of that ‘dark secret’ of his: when he’s home alone, usually at night, he’ll go in his basement to hide government secrets like Aliens, new gods and other religious stuff. He has a dead look in his eyes and looks like he has never slept before. All of this can be reconducted to Central Italy's soul being that of his father, the Papal State.

Personality and Interests He’s an incredibly generous and nice person when it comes to his state and people who are interested in him, his territory and his boss, which is the pope. He’s not as nice and polite towards people he doesn’t like, especially people who think he’s a hypocrite and a liar. Even if he denies it, he’s very hypocritical but will never admit his wrongs, he just hides them and tries to play it off cool, like nothing happened. He shows to have a very big ego underneath his façade, no one knows who he really is but he’s shown to be grumpy and also a heavy alcoholic, because of his love for booze he often hangs out with other countries who enjoy getting drunk too, that’s how he mostly makes friends. A lot of people have made allegations about him and his boss but he always denied them, people still wonder how many of the words that came out of his mouth are the truth and which are lies, no one can tell since he’s very convincing when he lies. Unlike popular belief, he’s not very religious and he’s almost never shown talking about religion or doing religious things unless it’s a holiday, though he always attends the pope’s masses and speeches, of course. His personality is very similar to S. Italy and C. Italy’s but he sometimes annoys them or angers them. He always praises himself if no one does and shows off all of his generous acts like letting in his country immigrants and helping out Rome’s homeless people, he always feels very happy when people praise his actions but he doesn’t show it. He’s very secretive and holds an off-limits library underneath his country, it’s full of bookshelves that go on for 50 miles, the library has old scrolls and books that no one but him, the pope and authorized people, know the contents of those old writings. People (especially America) think the books hidden from the public are about and depict government secrets, aliens, Satan, religion in general and even pedophilic actions that happened in the Greg. However, Greg refuses to answer to all of those claims and keeps the secret even further from public display and knowledge. He doesn’t want anybody to know of the hidden side of him, most people that think to know of his dark past and current actions say that he’s satanic and has a lot of ties with a lot of nations’ governments. He’s very famous for those rumors and doesn’t plan on addressing the truth any time soon.

Historical Facts

Greg is not very fond of Central Italy and the Italian brothers as a whole. He can never forgive the three for killing his father to appease their selfish needs to bring their little sister Homo back. La Breccia di Porta Pia is a taboo topic for him.

Relations

Greg City is not an outdoor type of guy, he mostly prefers to stay in the comfort of the walls that surround his country, declaring to be neutral so he won’t have to bother himself getting an army or fighting. He says often that he “has more important things to do”.

Central Italy

 Him and Central Italy aren't very close, of course. Sometimes he annoys her with his attitude but she always reluctantly forgives him. She didn’t mind him being independent at all, he existed even before she was technically born. The two don’t fight but Greg doesn’t trust her knowing about his secret life since she might tell North and South so that he could be completely exposed, all she has are some vague speculations about him but she doesn’t seem interested in knowing the secret.

San Marino

They never interacted much in the past but sometimes they hang out, always out of boredom or with Central Italy that brought them together originally, since they’re both surrounded by her territories. San Marino acts cool around everyone but Greg City describes him as stuck up and talentless behind his back, even if he puts on a friendly attitude towards him.

South Italy

Him and South Italy quite get along but do not have much ties other than sharing the same religion and having a quite similar personality.
