Eder vill jag gifva ett förgyllande svärd

Och strida huru I strida vill. Stridsplatsen skolen i väl vinna

Family: Family changes a lot when your country, especially when marriages change. However, Spain considers both Romano and Veneziano, Portugal if there is one (who is really Spain's brother because they're both on the Iberian Peninsula and share somewhat of the same culture and history) as well as the territories he owned, such Belgium and Netherlands.

Friends: Like family, friends can change due to certain circumstances. Spain's friends have always been Prussia, France and Austria even though there have been times when he fought all of them at least once in his life.

Enemies: Spain was not well liked by some of his territories who thought his was a useless countries, Netherlands fought and defeated Spain in a battle for his independence. The Ottoman Empire was another enemy of Spain, although the country itself has a lot of Muslim influence, Turkey was often fought due to his European Conquest. Britain proved to be a great rival for Spain due to their need for control of the seas as well as being the strongest empire.

History: What happened when they were throttled back in time? What was their history after 2010? Try include their thoughts, how they coped and what they intended to do now that they have a chance to start afresh.
