His skin is tanned and he has tall muscular build and broad shoulders. He usually wears blue and black checked shirt, dark blue jeans, brown boots and a cowboy hat.

Personality and Interests

Nicholas is very laid back and doesn't do much other than smoke, surf or compete with New Zealand. He has a very long fuse and it takes a lot to make him angry, but when he does get angry he can get very, very scary. The only reasons why he might get angry is if either his country or New Zealand are being threatened one way or another. He is very protective of New Zealand and his 'kids', who are his countries states and won't let anything happen to them. However, slightly ironicaly, Nicholas is a pacificist and doen't like to fight. But in his younger years, Nicholas was very rebellious and didn't listen to Arthur very well and when Arthur started dumping convicts in Australia, Nicholas only began misbehaving even more and that's when he took up smoking, though it was manily to annoy Arthur even more. Although these days he's more well behaved and only smokes out of habit and out of stress.

Relationships

Arthur Kirkland (England)-Being a former British colony, Nicholas respects him and sees him as a father figure. He faithfully faught alongside him in both World Wars. However, Arthur used to dump alot of convicts in Australia, and Nicholas still hasn't forgotten nor forgiven him for that, though he hides it very well.

Jane Kirkland (New Zealand)-Nicholas loves Jane very much, although he claims that he loves Jane in a brotherly sense others say that he loves her more than that. Nicholas is very protective of Jane and would never let anyone insult her.

Alfred F. Jones (America)-Nicholas and Alfred can both be described as 'buddies' as they enjoy giving Arthur grief. But when Jane declared New Zealand nuclear free Alfred yelled at her calling her a 'stupid little girl who'll end up getting herself and her country killed because of this'. When Jane left the conference room close to tears, Nicholas sucker punched Alfred and he told him he 'had no right to say that to Jane'. Despite that the two of them are still good friends.

Francis Bonnefoy (France)-Nicholas doesn't have any personal ties with Francis but he puts up with him for Jane. When the Rainbow Warrior sunk, Nicholas didn't interract with Francis in anyway until Jane started talking to Francis again. Nicholas dissaproves of Francis's perverted nature and doesn't like leaving Jane alone with him.

Matthew Williams (Canada)-Nicholas says that Matthew is a 'nice guy' and he's also said that he wouldn't mind if Matthew and Jane 'eloped'. Whether or not he seriously ment that is unknown.

Ivan Bragvanski (Russia)-Nicholas and Ivan do not get along very well, at all. During the Cold War, for some reason, Ivan would always sneak up on Jane and try to convince her to 'become one with Russia.' This resulted in Ivan receiving many punches in the face from Nicholas.

Heracles Karpusi (Greece)-Although he would never admit it, Nicholas feels guilt and shame for not being able to protect Greece from the Axis during WWII, much like Jane. These days, they get along very well and Nicholas appears oblivious to the occasional affection Heracles shows to Jane.

Ludwig (Germany)-Despite fighting each other in WWI and WWII, Nicholas and Ludwig are on good terms with each other. Although most people think its because Jane likes Ludwig so much.

Gilbert Beilscmidt (Prussia)-Nicholas and Gilbert often play pranks on either Arthur or Ludwig for fun. They can be described as 'best friends'.

Feliciano Vargas (Italy)-Nicholas, Jane and Feliciano often hang out with each other and they enjoy each others company. Nicholas and Feliciano often speak Italian to each other to annoy Jane since they both know she can't speak Italian.

Netherlands-Eventhough the Dutch arrived in Australia before the British, they didn't stick around for very long and Nicholas resents Netherlands for that.
