* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Invoked, especially in the case of Austria and Prussia.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Both Austria and Prussia are shown at some points as on the ''very'' brink of becoming this.
* [[Complete Monster]]: The Soviets in the 1980s stories, who attempted to invade Austria {{spoiler|and all but ''raped'' Hungary to no end}}.
** Which goes a long way to explain why {{spoiler|Russia}} went into hiding.
* [[Cruel to Be Kind]]: Switzerland's efforts to rehabilitate Austria and convince him that {{spoiler|Hungary's [[Dead All Along]]}} may come across as this.
* [[Deus Sex Machina]]: Averted. {{spoiler|Angelic!Hungary}} didn't ''have'' to go all the way to help Austria get over the pain caused by Doomsday. Rather, both of them just ''missed'' each other for too long.
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Austria and Prussia are mentioned as having done this ''with a vengeance.''
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
* [[Fan Service]] / [[Fan Disservice]]: The implied sex scenes between {{spoiler|Austria and Hungary}}.
** The fight scene between Prussia and Hungary in ''Dreams of Another Time,'' especially once she strips down to her old and revealing formfitting armor. Which is soon averted {{spoiler|once Hungary reveals her decayed form similar to her remains in ''A Wasteland Melody.''}}
** The "deleted" sex scene between [[Brother
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Austria's [[Vestigial Empire|yearning for his old Imperial power]] may come across as a bit hypocritical, given his position in the Alpine Confederation. Then again, Austria during the (real life) [[Cold War]] ''was'' pretty much a powerless buffer in the wider standoff between America and the USSR. Which would also explain why {{spoiler|he was absolutely ''helpless'' in saving Hungary during Doomsday}}, regardless of what he might have done...
* [[Fridge Horror]]: Anything to do with Doomsday itself and the Alt!1980s in general. If ''[[The Day After]]'' or ''[[Threads]]'' are any indication, it's ''not'' a walk in the park...
Line 20:
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: If ''The Expeditionary Report'' is anything to go by, this is how the [[Muggle|human protagonist]] views "''Herr'' Edelstein's [[Anthropomorphic Personification|kind]]." {{spoiler|Hungary}} can comes across as this in the same story.
* [[Iron Woobie]]: Austria, though by 2009 the facade was on the verge of breaking. Even Poland post-Doomsday qualifies.
* [[Kick the Son of
* [[A Lighter Shade of Gray]]:The Alpines in general are this. Though they are a [[The Federation|largely benevolent beacon of civilization]] in Central Europe, they're also rather self-serving and not all that altruistic. And that's not counting forcing out refugees at gunpoint just because there wasn't enough food.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Hungary and Poland are implied to be like this.
