Kugelmugel

I was curious with this character from Hetalia. His country name is Kugelmugel. anyone know about him? I was wondering where his country located. So, I do a little research about him. He's a micro nation in Austria. here's the detail.

Kugelmugel
is a former micronation located in Vienna, Austria.

Located in Vienna Prater, the
Republic of Kugelmugel declared independence in 1984, after disputes between artist Edwin Lipburger and Austrian authorities over building permits for the ball-shaped house which he built in the countryside in Lower Austria and which was moved into the park by the authorities. The house is enclosed by a barbed-wire fence and is the only address within the proclaimed Republic. Its address is "2, Antifaschismusplatz" (2, Anti-Fascism Square, 2 referring to the 2nd district Leopoldstadt), and the founder is the head of state of hundreds of non-resident citizens. Lipburger refused to pay taxes to the Austrian government and began to print his own stamps, for which he received a prison sentence in court. Only a pardon by the Austrian President saved him from going to jail.
Austrian state officials relocated the structure to the Prater park and surrounded it with barbed wire fencing.
Kugelmugel has since become a tourist attraction in Vienna due to its unique history and architecture. The word "Kugel" means "sphere" in German; the word "Mugel" is an Austrian German expression for "bump" or "mogul".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


After I read this I was like "There's smaller nation than Sealand!" == yeah that's because I never research any other nation except Sealand back there. Anyway, here's the Kugelmugel in Hetalia ^^


Kugelmugel (クーゲルムーゲル, Kūgerumūgeru) is a supporting character in the series Hetalia: Axis Powers.

Name              Republic of Kugelmugel (Republik Kugelmugel)
Gender           Male
Hair Colour    White
Eye Colour     Violet

Debut Appearance
Strip It's a Treasure Box of Countries~


Appearance

Kugelmugel appears as a young man with violet eyes and white hair kept in two long braids. He has a mole similar to Austria's, but it's under his left eye instead. He wears a red beret, from under which springs an ahoge. Kugelmugel wears a white vest with a blue-striped dress shirt underneath. He also sports baggy purple shorts, tan leggings, boots, and a small bow. On both his vest and beret is an insignia resembling a coat of arms. His clothing style could be described as being Ōji Lolita/Kodona. He and Ladonia are equal in height to one another, and shorter than Sealand. Liechtenstein appears to have mistaken him for a young girl, though the other countries have not made this mistake.


Personality and Interests

Kugelmugel is a micronation located in Austria. He is an artist who Austria describes as being eccentric. In his debut, Kugelmugel is found hugging his knees and pondering whether revolution and Baumkuchen are art. He suddenly exclaims that declaring his independence is art, and excitedly continues to carry on about this point. Sealand, Wy, and Seborga avoid him initially, feeling they won't be able to communicate with him in his current state, but he has later joined their group of friends. He is shown to have a strong desire to make things "more artistic", such as improving on Ladonia's clay deer design and expressing interest in making his house bigger.

Manga

Kugelmugel debuts in It's a Treasure Box of Countries~, a mini-event that follows Sealand, Seborga, and Wy's attempt to enlarge their circle of micronation friends. The trio decide to not formally invite him after he goes into a fit over declaring independence being art. Still, he is revealed to have been accepted into their group, and sits with the other new members while making a thumbs-down sign. The first time he met Liechtenstein (shown in a flashback during the Christmas 2011 Event) he is seen shouting at his home (a sphere-shaped house) and calling it art. After meeting Liechtenstein, he goes to the king and asks him to make the structure bigger, claiming that "Small things are not art. Small living things are art." During another flashback, he is shown sleeping while Ladonia is making a clay figurine. He later wakes up and makes his own "more artistic" by molding a sleeker and tougher-looking version of Ladonia's clay deer, which impresses Ladonia but annoys Wy.

Trivia 

While Kugelmugel is shown speaking to the "King" during the Christmas 2011 site event, the micronation was actually a Republic and never had a ruler holding the title of "King".
