About me
Hi there! Nice to meet you all!




 * I'm a college student.
 * I'm from Portugal ( I'm still waiting for him to appear, I would love to see him interact with Spain-nii-san, England-chan (they became friends when Port-chan was just 200 years old, so I guess he would call him that), and Brazil)
 * I also edit the Narutopedia Wiki, the Final Fantasy Wiki and Kingdom Hearts Wiki
 * My name on YouTube is Kari7 (I also made a vid about Hetalia)

My hobbies are:
 * reading books (any kind!)
 * watch anime (currently just Naruto Shippunden and Hetalia Axis Powers)
 * read manga (Naruto, Hetalia, Pandora Hearts, D.N.Angel, xxxHolic, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles...)
 * play ps2 and psp when I have the time

Interesting facts about Portugal:

 * The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance (ratified at the Treaty of Windsor) between England (succeeded by the United Kingdom) and Portugal is the oldest alliance in the world which is still in force. It was signed in June 13, 1373.
 * While Spain loves tomatoes, in Portugal they are also a metaphor for testicles (simular to balls or nuts in the USA)
 * Friend from Peniche (Amigo de Peniche) is and expression which refers to a fake friend. It was used when the English came to help Portugal defend Lisbon but instead sacked the nearby cities.
 * During the Napoleonic Wars, Spain and France made a deal to invade Portugal and share him by cutting him in 3, however, France betrayed Spain and decided to invade both countries. Portugal started the Iberian conflict because he refused to stop trading with the UK.
 * Before Portugal's invasion, his king fled to Brazil. After the war, Portugal was controlled by British forces. Feeling that England was also taking away his independence, instead of just helping with the army, Portugal rebeled and through the British forces out.
 * After suffering from an earthquake and the Napoleonic Wars, Portugal was very weakened and desperately needed money to rebuild and pay the British. When Brazil asked for independence, Portugal accepted without a fight, with the condition that Brazil would pay England the debt.
 * During WW2, both Portugal and Spain remained neutral. However, Spain's superior had won the Spanish Civil War with the help of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy both of which were eager to establish another fascist state in Europe, so he sent Spain to help them invade the Soviet Union. As for Portugal, following the Nazi invasion of Russia which cut-off their supply of tungsten metal from Asia, Germany initiated tactics to extract tungsten from Portugal. Initially, Germany artificially ran up prices in an attempt to get the people to bypass the Portuguese government and sell directly to German agents. Portugal's superior attempted to limit this, and in Germany sank 2 Portuguese ships as a result. Despite efforts to resist, and because of the German threat to Portuguese merchant trade, in January 1942 Portugal's superior signed an agreement to sell tungsten to Germany. In June 1943, Britain invoked the long-standing Anglo-Portuguese Alliance requesting the use of the Azores, to establish an air force and naval air base. Portugal complied at once. The Allies then promised all possible aid in the event of a German attack against Portugal. Additionally, the United States and Great Britain guaranteed the integrity of Portugal's territorial possessions.
 * Portugal created the marmalade. However, in Portugal, to say that two people are making marmalade together is a synomin of sex.
 * England is a terrible drunk and a sore loser. When Portugal defeated him in the Euro 2004 and 2006, England made a terrible commotion and destroyed many Portuguese bars.
 * A Portuguesa (The Portuguese Hymn) is the national anthem of Portugal. Despite the fact that Portugal is one of the most peaceful countries in the world, the anthem is very belic and full of rage. It was written after England's betrayal when he forced Portugal to give his lands in Africa so England could build a railway, thus breaking the perpetual friendship treaty. Portugal was so humiliated that he made the song his national anthem. The song was changed eventually (the part where Portugal marched towards England to kill him).
 * In Portugal we call the Spanish "nuestros hermanos" (our brothers), " os avecs" and "les avecs nous" to the French and "bifes" (steak) (don't ask me why!) to the English.
 * Portugal shares with Brazil his love for soccer (futebol). He also loves Brazil's soap operas and keeps an eye on him (almost everyday there are news about Brazil in Portuguese news cast).
