Hungary i/ˈhʌŋɡəri/ (Hungarian: Magyarország [ˈmɒɟɒrorsaːɡ] ( listen)) is a country, which is located in Central Europe. It is situated in the Carpathian Basin and is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine and Romania to the east, Serbia and Croatia to the south, Slovenia to the southwest and Austria to the west. The country's capital, and largest city, is Budapest. Hungary is a member of the European Union, NATO, the OECD, the Visegrád Group, and is a Schengen state. The official language is Hungarian, also known as Magyar, which is part of the Finno-Ugric group and is the most widely spoken non-Indo-European language in Europe.
Following a Celt (after c. 450 BC) and a Roman (AD 9 - c. 430) period, the foundation of Hungary was laid in the late 9th century by the Hungarian prince Árpád, whose great-grandson Saint Stephen I was crowned with a crown sent by the pope from Rome in 1000 AD. The Kingdom of Hungary lasted for 946 years, and at various points was regarded as one of the cultural centres of the Western world. After about 150 years of partial Ottoman occupation (1541–1699), Hungary was integrated into the Habsburg Monarchy, and later constituted half of the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy (1867–1918).

Austria: You moron! Why did you become allied with Italy?::Germany: Well... let's just say that there's a lot more to it than you think.

I'll express how angry I am with this piano.::Germany: Alright, go for it.::[Austria proceeds to play a lengthy piece. Germany waits patiently]::Austria: Do you understand now?::Germany: So your anger is Chopin...?
[Russia, America, England, France and China are roasting marshmellows around a fire as England sings a demonic song]::U.K.: The fire flares up and burns it to a crisp./Enflames it from side to side and burns it to a crisp./It leaves not a trace...::America: [Hysterical] I feel like we're summoning a devil or something!
Germany: [Germany is training Italy] Alright, beginning with instructions. Today concerns your interactions in the military with your inferiors!::Italy: [Salutes] Yes, sir!

Stroke, stroke.::Germany: And sometimes, you must be strict!::Italy: Strict! Paw out!

[Germany is shopping at a supermarket, while a narrator comments in Japanese and English]::Narrator: You're a German. Out shopping. Luckily, you were able to obtain a bunch of sausages, but the check-out area is really crowded.::[We see all the countries lined up in the check-out area, with Germany at the end]::Narrator: This is because the cashier is Spanish, and they're known for their carefree and easy lifestyle. That's why a crowded check-out area is a daily thing to them. To make matters worse, the easygoing Greek is putting his groceries up *very* slowly. This scene is natural in Greece.::[Southern Italy, whistling nochalantly, cuts in line two people ahead of Germany, who is beginning to become frustrated]::Narrator: Then an Italian cuts in line. In Italy, cutting in line is a normal thing to do. Did that irritate you? The Austrian in front of you is even angrier.::Spain: Oh, really?::Greece: Yup.::Spain: Oh, really?::Greece: Yup.::Spain: Oh, really?::Greece: Yup.::Narrator: Oh, no! Now the Spanish and the Greek have started to chat!::Italy: [Walks up and stands in line behind Germany] Ve, ve, ve, ve, ve, ve, ve, ve...::Narrator: Another Italian.

Are you listening, you moron!::Russia: Dunno, the line looks normal to me.::Spain: [Completely oblivious to the chaos] Oh, really?::Austria: For Christ's sake!::Sweden: Another peaceful day...::Finland: Well then, I'll tell you a funny joke while we're waiting in line!::[the entire line has now erupted into chattering, bickering, and America laughing obnoxiously in the background. Germany appears to be at the end of his rope]
Germany: [Training Italy, holding a grenade] I'll teach you how to use a hand grenade. First, remove and discard the pin to arm it. [Removes the pin with his teeth and tosses the grenade, which explodes tremendously on the cliff in front of them] Then throw it at the enemy's position... is how it goes. Think you can handle it?::Italy: [Dazed as usual] Yes, understood! If it's just that, I think I can do it if I try!::Germany: [Is then hit in the head with something] Hey, don't throw it at-! [Turns and sees he was hit with the grenade pin, and Italy has the grenade in his mouth, humming] You've got it backwards! Backwards! Hurry up and throw it!

Germany: Dear diary. Today, Italy was attacked by England and France while I was out.::[Cut to England hitting Italy on the head]::Italy: [Whimpering] Ve, ve, ve, ve, ve, ve...::Germany: Hey!

[Germany points a gun in his face]::Germany: Get out, you suspicious bastard! What are you planning? On top of that, impersonating the Roman Empire, a man I have deep respect for, is unforgivable!::Roman Empire: I'm serious though...::Germany: Shut your trap! From now on, speak only when you're answering my questions. Who the hell are you?::Germany: Whoa, food! [takes a bite of a raw potato] I'm the great Roman Empire.::Germany: Because of what you just said, I've decided to put a bullet through your head.::Roman Empire: Don't get so worked up!
