Who what now?

Arthur is from a series where countries, micro-nations, and a few other forces all have a human(ish) personifications who work in parallel to their governments and people. Arthur, of course, is England, though at meetings with the other nations he represents the whole on the United Kingdom even though Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland have their own personifications (his older brothers). As such, he fights with France, mopes over the loss of America (ungrateful brat) when he's drunk, and generally misses ruling most of the world. And being a pirate.

Nations are close to being immortal, in that mortal wounds will heal, though those done to their land and people will appear on them. When one country attacks another, it's reflected on their Nations fighting sometimes.

England in specific is one of the few nations who still believes in and can see magic. His brothers and Norway being the others. Because of this, he's often teased for having 'imaginary friends' and talking to them in public.
