Australia
- Animal Nemesis: Emus are the bane of his existence ever since his highly memetic incident with the flightless birbs.
- Awesome Aussie: Zigzagged. Australia may be feared as a badass or he might instead be mocked for The Emu War or rabbit plagues.
- Abusive Parents: One comic shows that the reason he gave Papua independence is because he is lowering his HDI and he seems happy about it. It may be subtle but the boy was under his care and the HDI may be low because...
- Berserk Button: He currently has a lot of problems with immigrants, and thus anybody trying to enter his country usually elicits either a huge rant that manifests in a Wall of Text or a simple "FUCK OFF, WE'RE FULL!" from him.
- Comedic Sociopathy: He really hates his natives, and sometimes tries to kill them.
- Cool Big Bro: He tries to act as this towards the other Oceanian countries, to varying degrees of success.
- Cool Uncle: Ironically is one towards his nieces and nephews especially Palau.
- Hot-Blooded: Is a very passionate, free-spirited guy in general.
- Parental Neglect: Towards his adopted/biological son Papua New Guinea and his son/ward Timor Leste. Though it may vary as in one comic Papua seems to be fond of him though in others...
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Is the red to New Zealand's blue, due to being more Hot-Blooded and racist.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Peppers his dialogue with swears, with his favourite being "cunt".
- Vitriolic Best Buds: The dynamic portrayed with New Zealand, if it isn't a straight Heterosexual Life-Partners sort of deal. May also apply to UK and USA.
- Also with Indonesia, who is described as his frienemy and the two are rather uneasy neighbors, but Australia still loves visiting him.
Kirbati
- Your Days Are Numbered: She is slowly sinking into the sea. Nobody else seems to care.
Marshall Islands
- Your Days Are Numbered: Like Kiribati, he is also slowly sinking into the sea.
Micronesia
- Weird Currency: They use rai stones. This makes any monetary transactions with them difficult.
Nauru
- Fat Comic Relief: His morbid obesity rate is Played for Laughs.
New Zealand
- Action Girl: Fem!New Zealand during WW1 and WW2 in this comic◊.
- Bestiality Is Depraved: Sheep, of course. He also has been experimenting with kiwis.
- Birds of a Feather: With Wales due to common interests.
- Nice Guy: Is pretty cool towards his natives, and he is friendly to most countries.
- Out of Focus: Somewhat this, as he does not make many appearances in comics.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Is the blue to Australia's red, because he's a lot more laid-back. He also tends to be the saner of the two.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Kiwi.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: The dynamic portrayed with Australia, if it isn't a straight Heterosexual Life-Partners sort of deal.
Palau
- Big Brother Worship: To USA, since he was the one that granted him independence and protected him from other countries. He often carries out little errands for him. Though he may be his son in some comics. Played straight with Philippines and Puerto Rico.
- Breakout Character: Most people have not heard of Palau. However his young age relative to other countries (allowing him to be depicted as a baby) and the fact he has never been to war or really done anything bad has endeared him to authors.
- The Cutie: Started out as one out of universe but has been portrayed as such in-universe◊ as well due to his childish attitude and the fact that he has never gone to war with anyone.
- Children Are Innocent: He is younger than most other countries, and has never gone to war himself.
- Daddy's Boy: Is this to USA, in the comics where he is portrayed as his son.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Finally received his independence after having been ruled over by several countries◊ for a long time.
- Happily Adopted: Just like his siblings, Palau loves his dads except his other dad, Japan.
- Identical Stranger: Bangladesh and Japan have very similar flags as him.
Papua New Guinea
- Family Relationship Switcheroo: Used to be UK's son shared by Germany before being Aussie's.
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood: When you have Australia as a dad and Fem!Indonesia as a mom...
- In the Blood: Seems to have abundant wildlife like his father.
- My Beloved Smother: Fem!Indonesia in some comics... Poor guy.
- Never Learned to Read: Easily explainable.
- Sixth Ranger: Badly wishes to be in ASEAN rather than being an observer.
Tuvalu
- Your Days Are Numbered: Again, like Marshall Islands and Kiribati, he is also slowly sinking into the sea.
