wowww that is way more thought than I ever put into it, but yeah, that's how I see it, too.
I always viewed Canada as being more lenient to telling people he's Matthew than America is, but it hasn't come up yet. Then again, he struggles with constant inadequacies, and wants to be recognized as something other than Vinland.
Russia is Russia, though he goes as the USSR (technically he introduces himself as both). He views everyone as equal, and keeps everyone at a certain distance: meaning, if you do not know my name, it is not personal, and I am still above you, as you are part of me, and you have no authority over me whatsoever. It's a power issue, since his identity is the only thing he really has control over /lol his life sucks forever But yeah, Communism and all, and family is important even if his is effed up. And everyone needs to be happy.
So far, only China has called him Ivan, but he's still bitter at China forever right now and is suspicious as hell over everyone leaving him. Most likely Ukraine and Belarus will call him that, too. Sweden probably knows his name, but he's a fail dad and nobody cares about him.
