CALLING ALL COUNTRIES
Okay, so I know I'm not the only one who is kind of confused by what everyone is doing, and to those just passing through here's the deal. Most countries have Country Names and Human Names (ie America's human name is Alfred Jones while his country name is The United States of America). To keep cast consistency and to be considerate ICly of what all countries are going by, since some are sticking to their national guns and going by their country name and others are playing it safer and using their human aliases, it would be useful to know what each country would like to be called in public settings, as well as private ones.
Personally, Lithuania is going by Toris on public posts just to keep things simpler, but doesn't mind other countries calling him by his country title. So using that as sort of an example, what are your thoughts and requests related to public and private names and what your character is going by?
This is mainly just to keep everyone's ducks in a row and not to accidentally out anyone, which has happened in the past. If an IC discussion needs to take place about this, to make it more game realistic as to how everyone knows this, then that's also an option!hh's first world meeting...

But now that he's settled into HH some, he's realized. . . Nations aren't really A Thing and that can potentially be very confusing for others. So he's basically going to introduce himself like, "I'm Spain! But Antonio works too." Giving options always eliminates confusion because people will just go with the less confusion one of the two, right?
Spain's chill. He doesn't really care which name you use. C:
Note #1: Only Romano can call him insulting names and get away with it.
Note #2: In the event there's ever a de-aging event or some other time this becomes relevant, Imperial Spain demands to be called Spain because all y'all Nations are going to recognize the Spanish Empire. Whoops.
Note #3: Toño and Toni are acceptable nicknames. "Anthony" is insulting.
