Argentina.

Arrogant, narcissistic, proud, self-centered, lover of the good life and kinda carefree; that's how you could see Martín, a young blonde man with green eyes who has been spending years promoting his magnanimity and power, even if it’s all talk.

His ahoge is hereditary from Italy, it’s an erogenous zone and it’s called “Misiones,” which is an argentine province (meaning missions, in Spanish). Martín eats argentinian meat only, baby.

Together with his two cousins Daniel (Paraguay) and Sebastián (Uruguay), he belongs to the ”Mafia del Mate,” (The Mate Mafia, in Spanish).

Though he’s the eighth biggest country in the world, his love for himself makes him feel like he’s the first, the best and the most increidble in the whole world.

He possesses major childhood traumas and he's one of the few countries that still (somehow) conserves its native people. He mantains a strain but close relationship with Chile and a very good one with Perú and Venezuela. His relationship with Brazil is pretty bad due to both thinking they're the best country ever and, lately, they've developed disputes and disagreements. He takes football seriously, as most of its cousins.

Martín always goes against the government; it may sound strange, but no matter who it is, he is never satisfied with his president.

History and Relationships
Son of indigenous people and immigrants (mainly Spaniards and Italians), he was raised by Spain first, and France influenced his personality much. Hence, you should not be surprised by the insinuations of the young man or his infamous fetish with legs and curves

Nowadays he conserves a good relationship with Bolivia and Brazil, but not a very good one with Venezuela and Uruguay (regardless of the ACDE).

Brazil
Despite their recurrent disputes, mostly about football (soccer) and the economy, Argentina and Brazil love eachother. They hate eachother to the point of physical fights, but they enjoy it anyway. Argentina loves teasing Brazil, still Brazil loves Argentina's jokes about himself. This teasing has no effect on Brazil other than a laugh, which annoys Argentina immensely.

Spain
He tried to take care of Argentina when he was little, but Martín did not like to live with Spain so he decided to become independent by making a pact with Chile. Still, to this day, they may not be very close but they respect each other.

Chile
The relationship between Argentina and Chile was once very fraternal but due to various conflicts they became rivals. Now they get along fairly well, but it is not that evident.

England
Argentina hates him deeply because of the re-capture he made on Falkland islands, but mostly because he feels England stripped him of power his. Even when The United Nations declared the Falkland Islands as an Argentinian territory, England does not stop insisting they are his.

Falkland Islands
Lived with Argentina in the house of the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata and helped him gain independence from Spain. England later re-claimed her as his sister, so Argentina decided to go home, since he felt he could not be able to beat England now that Spain would not help him this time. Also, he had only been around for 23 years as an independent country and therefore England was stronger than him.

America
He does not like him due to his arrogance to call himself America, along with the rest of the Latin American countries, since that is the name of the continent to which they belong. He owes him but believes that this debt is not valid.

Cyprus
Argentina often visits his home forcibly because of his work with the UN, but Cyprus does not like when he enters his home without permission. Despite that, they get along.

Mate
This drink is often consumed all around Argentina and it is common for friends to "matear" (drink mate) several times a week.

Just like Americans often meeting at a coffee shop, drinking mate is the impetus for gathering with friends in Argentina and Uruguay. Sharing mate is ritualistic and has its own set of rules. Usually one person, the host or whoever brought the mate, prepares the drink and refills the gourd with water, which is passed around and shared with anyone who wishes to drink. __NEWSECTIONLINK__
