It certainly would [[MeaningfulName fit his human namesake]]. it might also be an alusion to the impressive performance of Greece during WW2 both against the Italian Invasion and during the German occupation with its guerrilla fighters to be considered some of the best in Europe.

** TruthInTelevision: Apparently, in Turkey it's not uncommon to have a girlish-looking and veiled male bellydancer prank tourists and/or distracted people via giving them lapdances and then reveal himself as a dude.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Is often portrayed as this to Greece or Japan in fanworks. The latter case might be canon, considering how he becomes incensed upon seeing Japan with Greece in one manga chapter and jumps to the assumption that Greece is "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything trying to invade Japan]]", even claiming that "Ya don't know how well Japan and I get along!" He even threatens to invade France if he tries to harass Japan his usual way.

* HopelessSuitor: He's implied to have a crush on Japan, and it turns out that his rival is none other than Greece. Who's shown a ''lot'' more with Japan than him in the strips. And may have slept together with Japan at least once.

* LoveHurts: In the beta version for the drama CD, he's revealed to have been in love with Ancient [[LadyOfWar Greece]]/Byzantium. Who he eventually killed. (It's not necessarily canon as it wasn't included in the final version of the drama CD, but it sure would explain an awful lot about his relations with her son.) And when you take in account the aforementioned HopelessSuitor case with Japan and Greece ''and'' the only popular fanon pairing he gets being all about him and his ArchEnemy belting out the tune of TheMasochismTango at the top of their lungs, you have one wholly unenviable love life on your hands.

* MalevolentMaskedMan: A subversion, and more often than not PlayedForLaughs. Yes, he was VERY unpleasant in the past to ''many'' nations (young Greece, young Hungary, the Italies, Spain), but after having gone from the personification of the Ottoman Empire to the one of the Republic of Turkey, he's portrayed as a HotBlooded JerkWithAHeartOfGold who's actually rather fun to hang out with.

* MustHaveCaffeine: In the dub he isn't going to invade Europe just yet because he wants to go home to get some ''real'' coffee. He thinks European coffee is "for the baby".

[[folder:As a whole]]

* ''{{Literature/Aladdin}}'': Turkey, Greece and Egypt's costume theme for ''Manga/Hetaween2011''.
* ArchEnemy / SitcomArchnemesis: Greece and Turkey are this to each other. Especially noticeable in Greece's case, as Turkey is the ''[[BerserkButton only]]'' [[BerserkButton thing]] that can rile up the normally laidback nation.
** One could argue TRNC and Sealand as well.
** Romania and Hungary, to the point that Hungary names her dogs after him, and locks him out of the Hetaween 2013 party. [[TruthInTelevision It makes historical sense.]]
* BadassLongcoat: Turkey and TRNC, and Romania and Moldova (though the latter's is much shabbier) as well.
* CuteLittleFangs: Romania has one, obviously as a reference to the country's association with vampires. Moldova has two where his front teeth would be.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Greece and Turkey have a fistfight in almost every Christmas strip.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Romania and Bulgaria. May be an allusion to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria%E2%80%93Romania_relations Bulgarian/Romanian traditional friendship.]]
* IdiotHair: Greece and Turkey both have the same kind of ahoge that splits in two curled parts, although Turkey's is harder to spot as his is located on the back of his neck, unlike with Greece's which is located on the top of his head. TRNC has one in an unfinished sketch, too.
** Curiously, Cyprus actually ''lacks'' said IdiotHair.
** Moldova has two wild strands sticking out on either side of his head.
* NiceHat: Romania and Moldova with their miniature top/bowler hats, and Turkey and TRNC too.
* PowerTrio: {{Fanon}} sometimes portrays Greece, Turkey and Egypt this way, with Turkey as the Id, Greece as the Superego (or at least the marginally less temperamental Id), and Egypt as the Ego (and OnlySaneMan).
** Backed by the fact that we see the three together during the April Fool's event [[FridgeLogic even though Bulgaria or TRNC (or Cyprus) would be more geographically fitting.]]
** A recent sketch has the three sleeping together...not like that.
* RedOniBlueOni: Turkey and Greece, respectively.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Greece and Turkey, respectively.
* SiblingYinYang: In the Drama CD, TRNC is deadpan, quiet and stern, while his big brother Cyprus is expressive, talkative and polite.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Romania and Moldova, down to their coats, hats, and fangs. Played with in Cyprus' case, as he looks like a younger and slimmer Greece, but lacks the IdiotHair that both Greece ''and'' Turkey have.
* TriangRelations: [[HoYay Throw]] [[Characters/HetaliaAxisPowersTheAxis Japan]] [[HoYay in with Greece and Turkey]], and there are plenty of combinations possible. The most canon one is [[OppositesAttractRevenge Greece —> Japan <— Turkey]], possibly leaning towards [[ShipTease Greece <—> Japan]] [[HopelessSuitor <— Turkey]], but {{fanon}} also likes [[BettyAndVeronica Japan —> Greece <— Turkey]] and occasionally [[OneTrueThreesome Turkey <—> Japan <—> Greece]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: Greece and Turkey, [[SitcomArchnemesis believe it]] [[ArchEnemy or not]], might actually fit this too, going by their latest character profiles which state that even though they're constantly fighting each other, Greece sometimes [[GoKartingWithBowser goes shopping in Turkey's malls]].
** In one strip, Turkey is giving Greece a Turkish Bath to "bully" him and while Greece is loudly voicing how much he dislikes it when in reality, as he later admits, he actually enjoys himself and has a nice time.

->Voiced by: Ciaou Sasaki (Flower of Iris CD), Atsushi Kousaka (JP), Arisa Nishiguchi (JP, as a child), Creator/KisshoTaniyama (''Hetalia Phantasia'' CD dramas), Creator/VicMignogna (EN)
[[hardline]]
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: As seen in [[http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/4121574.html#cutid1 this strip]], Greece has a movie about a [[ForeignQueasine gigantic moussaka]] attacking.
* BerserkButton: Turkey's mere presence.
** This seems to extend to TRNC as well if the Drama CD is anything to go by, since he threatens to ''disown'' Cyprus if he continues interacting with TRNC.
* BladeOnAStick: Aside from his [[ImprobableWeaponUser metal cross]], he uses a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kodogre.jpg spear]] in some drawings.
* BrilliantButLazy: He tends to be characterized as this in some fanworks.
* ChivalrousPervert: He's #1 in the frequency of sex in the world, surpassing even ''France'', and everyone else knows it, and he has no problems with nudity like France... and yet he's one of the [[NiceGuy nicest characters]] in the series and the other characters don't seem afraid of being randomly undressed or molested while interacting with him, unlike with France. Additionally, it's made clear that he definitely wouldn't object to having sex with his close friend Japan (and may haved managed to get him into bed at least once) but also that he values their friendship enough, or is mindful enough of Japan's intimacy issues, to not press him ''too'' hard on this, and ''genuinely'' likes him as a person.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Pick a fanwork, ''any'' fanwork that has Turkey flirting with Japan within Greece's line of sight, causing him to go from [[HeavySleeper sleepy-eyed]] to [[GreenEyedMonster green-eyed]] (if not outright [[DeathGlare death-glaring]]) in 0.3 seconds flat. It's usually only when Turkey is around, though.
* CoatCape: When he's wearing a coat, it's often shown billowing out.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: According to some manga notes:
-->"When riding in cars [[UnderStatement he becomes a little bit faster]]!"
* EruditeStoner: Other than the drug-using part, he fits this trope to a T. So well, in fact, that it's somewhat surprising that there haven't been that many fanworks that make him a full-blown one - maybe because {{fanon}} has already pegged Canada and Netherlands as the main [[TheStoner Stoners]].
* GorgeousGreek: To be expected of him, being a ChickMagnet that EvenTheGuysWantHim.
* HeavySleeper / {{Sleepyhead}}: In the world conference shown in the first manga chapter and anime episode, he sleeps right through all the other countries' loud fighting. He also tends to doze off in the middle of conversations and fall asleep on the spot without warning.
* HiddenDepths: Seems a CloudCuckooLander, is actually ThePhilosopher.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Some sketches show him carrying around a huge metal cross, which represents [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athos the Agion Oros aka Mount Athos]].
* KindheartedCatLover: Greece loves cats, but is [[IncrediblyLamePun less skittish]] towards others than your average CrazyCatLady.
* MommasBoy: It's safe to assume that he's this from how he takes care of his mother's ruins and likes to talk about her mythology and culture. Atypically for this trope, this trait of his is usually portrayed positively in both canon ''and'' fanworks.
** Not to mention, said MissingMom is ''UsefulNotes/AncientGreece''. It'd be stranger if Greece didn't at ''very'' least miss his mother.
* MotorMouth: When on [[ThePhilosopher philosopher]] mode.
* MrFanservice: In an episode of Beautiful World where he recalled his best memory with Turkey, there was a lot of attention [[IncrediblyLamePun drawn]] to his abs and pecs.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The only one aside from France who will casually walk around buttnaked. Or casually suggest a naked check-up to another person.
* PerpetualPoverty: He suffers from trade deficit and can't play online games with the others due to costly internet.
** NotFunnyAnymore: Compare this with the actual economic situation of Greece in RealLife. Meep.
* ReallyGetsAround: In the "official doujinshi" by Himaruya, England and France try to tell others that he invented condoms. [[InsultBackfire It backfires when he admits he's had lots of sex, but then adds he doesn't use them]].
** LadykillerInLove: However, this is rarely brought up in {{shipping}} fanworks, as the general assumption in fandom is that he's still a NiceGuy at heart who would willingly stop sleeping around to be in a committed relationship with the one he loves. Most common with Japan, to the point where references to him [[DoggedNiceGuy having waited for over a hundred years for Japan to return his feelings]] are not uncommon; with Turkey, it tends to be more of an '[[BelligerentSexualTension on-again, off-again]]' thing, but there's still usually the implication that he reserves the sex for Turkey only.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: So is it 'Karpusi' or 'Karpossi' or 'Kiparsi' or what? Also, is it 'Heracles' or 'Herakles'?
** Actually "Karpouzis", since he's male.
* SuperStrength: Implied. One picture shows him wrestling down Germany seemly without trouble, in a strip he knocks out and carries around France's body like it's nothing, and in Gakuen Hetalia he manages to move around several life-size stone statues and not even pant afterwards. It certainly would [[MeaningfulName fit his human namesake]].
* UnkemptBeauty: Japan gets confused when Greece tells him that he doesn't want Japan to see him with MessyHair in the rain, as he thinks that Greece's hair looks messy ''all the time'' and doesn't see a problem with it. (It certainly doesn't stop fanworks from depicting him as extremely attractive, anyway -- and who can blame them with [[http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/5460602.html official art]] [[http://hetalia.livejournal.com/10918531.html like these]]?)
* VocalEvolution: In episodes 54 and 55, his voice is considerably slower-paced than his first speaking appearance in Episode 35.

-> ''Today I make Europe mine.''

->Voiced by: Hanmei Okina (Flower of Iris CD), Takahiro Fujimoto (JP), Creator/KentWilliams (EN)
[[hardline]]
* TheAlcoholic: Well, he ''did'' spend most of the Manga/HetaliaBloodbath2010 drunk. [[DrowningMySorrows Unless...]]
** Ironically enough, mostly due to Islam's religious restrictions, Turkey's alcohol consumption is the ''lowest'' in Europe.
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Tends to do this in the dub.
* BellyDancer: There is a humorously large amount of fanart that shows Turkey (Yes, [[TheBear very male Turkey]]) as a belly dancer. Make of that what you will.
** TruthInTelevision: Apparently, in Turkey it's not uncommon to have a girlish-looking and veiled male bellydancer prank tourists and/or distracted people via giving them lapdances and then reveal himself as a dude.
* BlingOfWar: Ottoman style.
** MaskPower: Combined with a ''very'' NiceHat.
** WeaponOfChoice: A sword, probably a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilij Kilij or Turkish scimitar]]
* BoisterousBruiser: Was gung-ho about invading Europe during his Ottoman Empire days, and even nowadays is quite loud about his opinions.
* ChildHater: "I really hate kids!", after [[spoiler:Chibitalia]] kicks him in the face and little Greece "welcomes" him home with a smile.
* CarpetOfVirility: Type 1, as seen in ''Manga/{{Hetaween 2011}}''.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Is often portrayed as this to Greece or Japan in fanworks. The latter case might be canon, considering how he becomes incensed upon seeing Japan with Greece in one manga chapter and jumps to the assumption that Greece is "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything trying to invade Japan]]", even claiming that "Ya don't know how well Japan and I get along!" He even threatens to invade France if he tries to harass Japan his usual way.
* CoatHatMask: Usually sports this look.
* DominoMask: Wears a white one.
* HopelessSuitor: He's implied to have a crush on Japan, and it turns out that his rival is none other than Greece. Who's shown a ''lot'' more with Japan than him in the strips. And may have slept together with Japan at least once. And while fandom does give Turkey [[FoeYay some action with Greece]], the number of fics in which he's even ''considered'' as a viable romantic possibility for Japan, much less paired up with him, can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
** It's only on the Western side though, due to having the [[AllThereInTheManual author's notes about Turkey and Japan]] lost in translation until recently. Meanwhile, the Japanese fandom likes to play with the Greece/Japan/Turkey Triangle [[TriangRelations in all shapes and angles; most commonly in Type 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8 Triangle forms with either Japan or Greece at the pivotal point]].
** [[SleepswithEveryonebutYou Lets Everyone Join but You]]: Feeling left out, Turkey asks UsefulNotes/TheEuropeanUnion to join in. After decades of waiting expectedly for acceptance, he finds out that the EU lets any nation join within seconds while he's being ignored.
* InterGenerationalFriendship: With Iceland in the Hetalia Bloodbath 2010. It helps that Iceland is already a teenager, not a child.
* LaughingMad: After realizing that the European Union is not that much into him.
* LoveHurts: In the beta version for the drama CD, he's revealed to have been in love with Ancient [[LadyOfWar Greece]]/Byzantium. Who he eventually killed. (It's not necessarily canon as it wasn't included in the final version of the drama CD, but it sure would explain an awful lot about his relations with her son.) And when you take in account the aforementioned HopelessSuitor case with Japan and Greece ''and'' the only popular fanon pairing he gets being all about him and his ArchEnemy belting out the tune of TheMasochismTango at the top of their lungs, you have one wholly unenviable love life on your hands.
** Let's not forget that a small section of the Japanese fandom also pairs him up with the local ActionGirl, Hungary. Who has been fighting him ever since she was a little girl (she refers to him as [[PrecisionFStrike "the Ottobastard Empire"]]) and not to mention [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Hungary Ottoman Hungary was one of the most rebellious provinces in the Ottoman Empire.]] Add how [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan she's in love with]] Austria and, well...
* MalevolentMaskedMan: A subversion, and more often than not PlayedForLaughs. Yes, he was VERY unpleasant in the past to ''many'' nations (young Greece, young Hungary, the Italies, Spain), but after having gone from the personification of the Ottoman Empire to the one of the Republic of Turkey, he's portrayed as a HotBlooded JerkWithAHeartOfGold who's actually rather fun to hang out with. [[TheRival Unless you're the now grown up Greece]].
* MustHaveCaffeine: In the dub he isn't going to invade Europe just yet because he wants to go home to get some ''real'' coffee. He thinks European coffee is "for the baby".
* OverTheShoulderCarry: He does that when he 'kidnaps' Greece after forcing him into an Aladdin costume, to carry him to the Halloween party.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acted as this toward young Egypt and young Greece after the fall of Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire.
* PermaStubble: Along with a CarpetOfVirility, showing both his older age and masculinity.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Sadiq" or "Sadik"? Also, is it "Adnan" or "Annan"?
* SweetTooth: He loves sweet food, one such food being [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashure ashure]] or Noah's pudding, a traditional Turkish dessert. JustifiedTrope, since [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_cuisine Turkish cuisine]] is well-known for its sweets.
** RealMenHateSugar: Needless to say, inverted.
* TakeOverTheWorld: As the Ottoman Empire, he continuously tries to take over Europe- fighting little Hungary, the Habsburgs, abducting little Greece, etc. in the process.
* TheNicknamer: In the dub, he almost always calls Japan "Jappy" and has several insulting nicknames for Greece. He also called Spain several versions of "short" in his Ottoman days.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Sometimes wears one that covers up his whole face, most of the time one that hides his eyes. When fighting it may come with a black veil.
* WorthyOpponent: He actually considers [[spoiler:Chibitalia, who kicked his ass one time,]] this, and shows no embarrassment over his loss in modern times.

* BadassPacifist: In the Drama CD and the Manga/HetaliaBloodbath2011 he is a ''very'' NiceGuy, but when Turkey and Greece push his limits he blows up at them and gives them a good talking-to about their people living in peace. In his comic cameo he demands from Greece to try getting along with Turkey.
* BerserkButton: Greece and Turkey fighting is enough to make him lose his cool.

* NotGrowingUpSucks: He can't grow up because he's only been recognized as a country by Turkey, according to the Drama CD.
* PerpetualFrowner: Very serious.
* TheRival: To Sealand, since TRNC's at least been recognized by Turkey, while Sealand isn't recognized by anyone.

* BishieSparkle: When posing with his stick, and again with his ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' jacket in the Hetaween 2013 event.
* {{Cosplay}}: ''Technically'' with the aforementioned jacket...but he only ordered it because he didn't want to make his own uniform.
* CloudCuckoolander: Possible characterization since he randomly decides to smack Italy after France and England do, and the only photo of him in his military clothes has him posing for the shot.
* EyesAlwaysShut: In his first appearance (in both the manga and anime), he was drawn like this. He's had fully open eyes in every appearance since.
** EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: His ill-fated attempt at cheering up Romania:
-->'''Romania:''' Anyway, it's no good; I'm a huge disappointment even to myself...
-->'''Bulgaria:''' A disappointment?! Who cares?! We're totally the top 2 by a wide margin in the ranking of biggest disappointments in the EU!
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He likes using a stick:
-->'''Bulgaria:''' Once I get a stick in my hand, I start to tingle with excitement!
* NiceGuy: Contrary to his {{fanon}} portrayal, in ''Manga/{{Hetaween 2011}}'' he's shown being rather nice.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Dresses as one for ''Manga/Hetaween2011'', opposite Romania dressing as a demon.
* OutOfFocus: Had the dubious honor of showing up in [[OneSceneWonder only one scene]] for a ''long'' time. Until he unexpectedly showed up for ''Manga/{{Hetaween 2011}}'', even [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] his lack of canon scenes with a comment about how he wanted to promote himself at this event.
* TheQuietOne: WordOfGod has it that he's like this with people he doesn't know well.
* SharpDressedMan: Himaruya mentions offhand that he likes the way the Bulgarian military suit looks.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to the Hetalia Bloodbath 2011, yogurt. Considering that [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamen_Grigorov a Bulgarian doctor]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoghurt#History discovered the true cause for the existence of natural yogurt]] as well as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_cuisine its extensive use in Bulgarian cuisine]] (and for that matter, in many Balkan countries), it's a JustifiedTrope.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Moldova, to the point that he gets depressed and feels like a failure when Moldova refers to Russia as "big brother."
* BlackMagic: His first appearance is in the background of the [[HighSchoolAU Gakuen Hetalia]] magic club.
-->''Spells and black magic are his specialty. [[BunnyEarsLawyer He's a merry oddball.]]''
* TheFaceless: Mentioned in Hungary's relationship chart and possibly appeared as a cloaked figure called Wallachia, but was only recently given a real appearance.
* FortuneTeller: With [[TarotMotifs Tarot cards]].
* HaircolorDissonance: Is he a brunet, a dark blond, or a redhead?
** Most artists draw him with a dark blond hair, though.
** Looks like a strawberry blond, which could hint at the Strigoi; a bloodsucking reanimated corpse that is said to have red(dish) hair and blue eyes.
* MeaningfulName: "Romania" means "Land of Romans." He's a huge fan of Ancient Rome, and considers himself to be descended from him (though Romano vehemently disagrees).
* NightmareFetishist: According to the Manga/HetaliaBloodbath2011. He scares the everloving shit of his old friend Bulgaria while telling him about Vlad the Impaler with a big cheerful smile.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Invites the Italies to a concert at his place, with one stipulation:
-->'''Romania:''' Blood...if you give us some of your blood...
** [[spoiler: It's actually just a campaign to encourage blood donation. TruthInTelevision, [[http://business-review.eu/featured/romanias-low-blood-donation-rate-sparks-pay-with-blood-campaign-84075 really]]]].
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Dresses as one for ''Manga/Hetaween2011'', opposite Bulgaria dressing as an angel.
* ThePollyanna: He's experienced many unfortunate events in life, but remains optimistic.
-->'''Romania:''' Positive in the strangest ways! That's Romania!
* PsychoticSmirk: As mentioned below, he usually has this or the SlasherSmile in fanarts.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He appears to have the red eyes, but he doesn't ''look'' too threatening.
* TheRival: He has a rivalry with Hungary, which makes historical sense.
* SlasherSmile: Fanart often gives [[http://www.zerochan.net/667889#full him]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/672335#full this]]; most fans speculate he has CuteAndPsycho potential. The creator mentioned he's full of mischief, hence he falls into TheTrickster category.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it '''''Romania''''' or '''''Rumania'''''? English sources seemed to use both nonchalantly...
* TheTeamWannabe: At one point he tries to get acknowledged as a descendant of Ancient Rome (and thus an Italy brother), but Romano shoots him down ''immediately.''
* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: Until he was given a face, [[ShipToShipCombat the main "contenders" for Hungary's heart]] in {{fanon}} were [[RichSuitorPoorSuitor Austria and Prussia]] (and once or twice, Turkey). The moment he appeared, Romania/Hungary fanarts started to pop out almost immediately...
* TheTrickster: Described as mischievous by the author himself.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Uncanny Neighbor Resemblance: Possibly a result of OnlySixFaces, but he could pass for [[http://www.horror-vacui.net/hetarchive/images/thumbs/lrg-184-08-06-25-5.jpg Male!Hungary]] if his hair was up. Could also be a bit of FridgeBrilliance considering how Transylvania (from which he is heavily inspired) has shifted control between Romania and Hungary, and Hungarians are the largest minority in the country.
