The Italian army and the happy crusaders

England and Italy’s tanks are too cute. Matilda I is tough as nails.

From their home country, on the African war front, the Italian army say, “HURRY YOU GUYS AND FIGHT why did we stop here” while being reminded.
“If the supplies don’t come, we won’t move!!” “GOOOOO” “I WANNA DAY OFF” “HEEEY HEY HEY”, and so on.
And while they do that, England shows up.
I like the Italian army when they’re being pursued.

The Italian air force is so cool!


A scrapped drawing of a WIP Spain.
I wonder if I should blame Spain’s expression for uplifting me while drawing him.

The Ungroundable


Discarded 5-panel manga. I like something like Romano’s facial expression.


Something like a chance inclusion!

The abandoned Yonkers Power Station that briefly appeared in the 4th volume.

It seems to have been abandoned for decades,
but it has survived beautifully up to the windows, perhaps because of the dry climate.

August 1st, Swiss National Day


I’m a just a little really late for Switzerland’s national founding day. (；´ヮ｀)

Gessler, the evil Hapsburg bailiff* who was the villain in the story of Swiss hero William Tell, telling everyone to bow before his hat was kind of cute.

Switzerland was recklessly vigorous until he lost to France, wasn’t he?
It’s great that he was able to continue to protect his country after that by earning foreign money as a mercenary and taking a position of armed neutrality and such.

I plan to update the replies and volume 4 extras a little today.

Thank you for your thoughts on, “That and America’s Volume, This is the Center of the World!”
I’ll be most happy if you enjoy the columns and manga!
America is a mysterious and interesting country!

This is kinda different than the udon that I know.


Blue potato chips. Why did they make them blue!?

Belarus & Ukraine military uniform versions

Now that I think of it, there are plenty of pictures that aren’t in the gallery.

Speaking of Belarus, upon looking at it’s history, it’s often said that the Belarusian language and Belarusian history resemble each other.
If you think of gathering some data, Wikipedia has some very detailed books.
I want to keep on drawing her has having a strange childhood-friend-like relationship with Lithuania.

Shindooong!!*

■The condescending beam of the Qing dynasty during its peak

It’s really cute how during the peak of the Qing dynasty, China would send extremely condescending letters regardless of what happened at home.
“A gift? Well, I thought you had a much better thing for me than this, but I guess I’ll take it off your hands”
This type of writing is said to have been sent without hesitation to that country in Europe, in exchange for a tribute…

And the Dutch merchants in China at this time were out of the ordinary:
while putting pesticide on Portugal and England,
they would fly off to wherever there were countries that would benefit them financially, it’s amazing!
They built a win-win relationship in trading between Netherlands and Japan seemingly by conforming to Japanese manners and supporting the shogunate.

London march


Vietnam.
At first, she was a softer character,
but because strong women showed up a lot in Vietnam’s history, she ended up being very strong-willed.
I think about her while I watch the Vietnam episode of “Somewhere Street”.

I will, like, pause for a bit on the mini characters
I’m preparing biggish sizes of the Allies wallpapers.
