    !أهلا ومرحبا بكم<br />
    <br />
    Azrael Hassan, officially the Republic of Iraq, has been described as a being of many contradictions and misrepresentations. Even at his inception, his presence was baffling to most. The first of his kind, Iraq began as Mesopotamia, or "the land between the rivers" [in reference to the Tigris and Euphrates, which is referred to as the cradle of civilization]. He was always rather bright and inventive, perfectly happy to spend his time in any way he could as long as he was working on something, which reflected in his industrious and busy-bodied people.<br />
    His home has always been in turmoil for one reason or another, which he will sadly admit he's gotten quite used to -- however, that isn't to say he hasn't developed a slight twitch because of it. In the past decade, he had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Britain and America trekking through his house day in and day out, eating all his food and breaking some of his furniture. He was finally able to shoo them out, and just last year was able to send all their things back and scrub off the doodles America did on his wall.<br />
    Many of Iraq's children are the parents or grandparents of the modern day nations, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome. His eldest daughter, Babylonia, is still talked about today, despite being long dead. Iraq also occasionally enjoys making off comments about the fact that his land was most likely where the garden of Eden would have been located, but he is usually quickly dismissed.<br />
    Like most living in his climate, Iraq is tanned with dark hair. Back in his days as Mesopotamia, his hair was waist-length and extremely well-kept -- he made this a point, since the quality of your hair determined status and barbers who gave a bad cut could be sentenced to death! [The ancient world was a scary place...] Because of his willowy body-type and feminine facial structure, Iraq was more often than not mistaken for a woman, and, even now that his hair is shorter, it is still a common mistake to this day. In fact, most of his remaining children still refer to him as "mama", despite knowing his true gender.<br />
    Personality wise, Iraq seems to confound most people who don't know him well. He is very motherly and apt to feeding his guests until they're no longer capable of walking and has a habit of buying lavish gifts for people for insignificant reasons. However, if he grows weary of your company, even if he doesn't let it known verbally, he has a way of making it apparent. His anger, however, always seems to be masked behind a shy smile and very polite manners that can either come off as saccharine or somewhat condescending. Though he is constantly mistaken for a female, it doesn't bother him in the slightest, and seems to enjoy using it to his advantage against his foes. Iraq will occasionally flirt in his own quiet way if he is intent on manipulating someone, but when it comes to a relationship he is actually serious about, he can come off as slightly prudish and will blush or lock up if shown too much affection.<br />
    Iraq's favourite pastimes are pottery and carpentry. In the heat of the afternoon, he is usually found napping with numerous cushions. He doesn't recall his original birthday, so for all intense purposes it is celebrated on October 3rd. The food he cooks usually are riddled with spices and flavourings, and though it tastes wonderful it looks very plain. His favourite foods are Maqluba and Tabeet and his favourite drink is Sharbat.
