1. America, Hong Kong, Seychelles, Canada, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand and I guess Sealand?

2. Well, in the scrapped strip it was implied to be France. Though its not even explicitly stated whether he died or became Germany (the Valentine's Day comic confuses me)

3. Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. (Ireland's relation or gender has yet to be established, though it should be noted that Northern Ireland is not the same as Ireland - Ireland is a country that makes up the southern part of the Island while Northern Ireland is a part of the UK.) Countries he at some point regarded as brothers would be America, Sealand (kinda) and perhaps some of his other colonies (Australia, Hong Kong, Canada) though that's never referenced in the series. France refers to himself as everyone's "big brother", though I think Italy is the only one who seems to regard him as such.

4. Alaska and Hawaii aren't states until 1959, so there are only 48 states at the time the show (mainly) takes place.

5. Spain, France, and Prussia are the bad friends trio... is that who you are referring to? Bad Luck Trio might be a name for the Baltic States though, so in that case the person who tags along would be Poland because he is, like, total BFFs with Lithuania.

6. America|Canada, Italy|Romano, Belgium|Netherlands, Germany|Prussia, Norway|Iceland, Russia|Ukraine, Russia|Belarus, Ukraine|Belarus, Britain|Sealand, America|Britain(*), Britain|Wales, Britain|Scotland, Britain|Northern Ireland, Wales|Scotland, Wales|Northern Ireland, Scotland|Northern Ireland, Belgium|Luxembourg, Netherlands|Luxembourg, Estonia|Lithuania(*), Lithuania|Latvia(*), Estonia|Latvia(*), France|Italy(*), China|Japan(*), China|Korea(*), Korea|Japan(*), Switzerland|Liechtenstein(*), Italy|Spain(*), France|Monaco(*), Cyprus|Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Australia|Wy(*),

(*) - Considered siblings though may or may not have a blood relation.
