Personality: Modern day Denmark proudly holds the title of ‘world’s happiest country’ and the human representation reflects this in both his mannerisms and his smile. Denmark tends to default to happiness; he’s almost always smiling and regards others with a cheerful disposition. Even when facing snark from Norway or a hanger to the head from Belarus, he can shrug it off and smile as if he doesn’t give a damn. This shows a strange sort of obliviousness on his part. It’s almost as if he just doesn’t want to imagine people would be rude to him. Though it’s more that he sees things from a very skewed perception. This is because Denmark is the greatest in his mind and no other opinions are valid to him. There was a time when the belief that Denmark is the greatest may not have been inaccurate. As a skilled tradesman and a formidable conqueror, he had a great deal of the world under his thumb for some time. However, it became obvious that he was biting off more than he could chew and the power he wielded was waning due to the vast quantity of it. Eventually, he allowed most of his claimed lands to slip out of his fingers and he slid back to his corner in Northern Europe. That being said, he’s still constantly trying to be the boss of his Brother’s. This in itself is telling, because despite his great ambitions he never seemed all that power hungry. It seemed more like he was out for influence and simply to take what he liked. No matter how far he spread this influence, he always came back to the Nordic circle. Which above all things, he seems to desire power over. Denmark likes to be referred to as ‘Big Brother’ by his fellow Nordics. This is because he enjoys the endearment and respect it shows, but also because he is quite a bit older than his brothers and many other countries. While other countries were slowly growing into the nations they are today, Denmark was a fast mover and grew up with speed. He used his advantages to build armies and set sail to beat up anyone within range. This ambitious attitude has settled in the last thousand years, but it never died. Denmark is still a very advanced society and it does well for itself. However, the Denmark we meet in Mayfield will not be this far ahead.
