Pavonistade is represented with a character named Pavonistadeball, containing the Pavonistadian triple (black, red, blue), a white triangle, and a yellow star. Pavonistade is shown bragging about its economy and popular culture, arguing with the Ocelot Isles about Ocelotian independence, and being a cannibal (referring to common cannibalism of the Pavonistadian past). He occasionally argues with others about cannibalism and which economy/culture is the best, but eventually Pavonistade gets along with others. He usually appears in international issues and territorial disputes with the Ocelot Isles but also appears in non-major affairs, such as competitions. In historical affairs (e.g. War for the New Colonies), characters with past Pavonistadian flags are used.

Below is an example of a comic called Pavonistade and "Friends," containing Pavonistade, its states, and the Ocelot Isles

This comic includes a map of the Ocelot Isles and Pavonistade. Here, Pavonistade is depicted as a cannibal as he is holding a skewer with a half-consumed Canada. It features the following, from left to right:

Ocelot Isles (orange ball)
Western Pavonistade (white ball with blue dots)
Canada (obvious)
Pavonistade (obvious)
Capital State (gray ball)
Central State (white-yellow ball with black star)
North Pavonistade (red-white ball with "shield")
Eastern Islands (blue ball with green-yellow-red eyes and holding a box)
Toloupum Sector (multicolored ball holding sunglasses)

She is mostly in comics about her old shames (Her old gender roles that were just human gender roles reversed, her Fedg'undg'ia renaissance crusades, old politicians, etc...), comics were she stalks human countryballs as "research" for "anthropology", comics about her relationship between Israel, Italy, and China (as an "imaginary friend"), space comics, comics about her homesickness, and comics about her social awkwardness around humans.

Her personality is rather much like an old lady, she is also heavily interested in human culture (even going so far in the comics to hide in a bush or some other hiding place and watching her subject-of-the-day from there), doesn't understand human socialization, thus constantly takes notes when she observes the human countries, she's rather homesick, (though she doesn't like to admit it) is a gambler (or at least was), she is rather devout, and is afraid of chickens and will say things like "I-it's alright to just invade my land, i-if you want!" when she sees one. Her arguments and agreements with human nations are mostly one-sided (as in she talks to a nation with the nation not even realizing she did so).
Example comic:

There is, as a matter of fact, a Mechanocracyball (seen below). This character is typically depicted as a drunken, monotonous-voiced belligerent, reflecting the stereotype of Great Russians and the Machine Race as well as our imperialist values and goals of world domination. He most commonly gets into bar fights with Canadaball and Greenlandball, usually winning because he is much larger than them both.

[TurtleShroom]

STRONK

What is the popularity of Polandball?
In TS, "Poland Ball" is called "NationStates Balls". These are the number one syndicated political cartoons in TurtleShroom and are a roaring success. "Stronk" is one of the most humorous slang terms in the country right now. Many newspapers and newsreals feature prominent "Poland Ball" comics, both from international and domestic submitters and syndicates.

What is your average citizen's view on Polandball?
A curse-free version of "Poland Ball" is used to teach our youth about history, politics, and affairs of distant nations, both in the Land of Power and around the world. They are also the best way to write a political cartoon and show up at least once a week in the newspaper. Everyone, from the Kings down, seem absolutely in love with "Poland Ball". It's considered the most effective poilitical cartoon since Yellow Journalism reared its ugly head in RL USA in the twenties.

What is your government's view on Polandball? Does the meme impact your government's policies?
Since the government doesn't control what is in education, they do not have control over it or its impact. The only control the state has over "Poland Ball" comics is to remove curses to make it viewable for all ages.

I realize that the balls I posted above are glitzy, three-dimensional monstrosities that most are not accustomed to viewing. They turned out the way they did because I have some skills with Photoshop but cannot draw in MS Paint if I had to.

Please feel free to create NS Ball comics using Monaviaball if you can find something legitimate (RPs and such) to feature it in.
