"Spoiled" Kids
We in the fandom have talked some about how Sweden spoils the kids in the past, but honestly, he's not the only one. Micronations, for better or worse, is the closest the nations come to a human family. Most of the time micronations are the nations' rare chance at CHILDREN.
So yes, Sweden might spoil his kids a bit, but you bet your ass Denmark will also gift them entire sets of new lego to build and play with. Norway would absolutely hand them some cash to let them decide for themselves what they want to buy or save for with it. You bet Estonia helps Finland figure out new and better computer parts to keep Ladonia's equipment updated.
You can be sure England eventually caves in to buy Sealand that gift he wanted, and of course Australia is giving Wy that art-set she's staring longingly at through the window. Seborga mentions wanting to impress a girl he likes and Veneziano and Romano basically drags him to a shop with fancy clothes for an update to his closet.
And yeah, Austria might not understand Kugelmugel the best of times, but why wouldn't he give Kugel that weird thing he thinks is art-related but can't be entirely sure?
You get the idea.
They're children, and while the nations stumble at times I'd like to believe the nations still try their best to give them a childhood. Because they never got one.

Adut Akech was born in Sudan (in an area that later became part of South Sudan), but was raised in Kakuma, Kenya. Akech was born on Christmas Day, on the way to Kenya. She was 7 years old when she moved from Kenya along with her mother to Adelaide, Australia as South Sudanese refugees seeking asylum. They also had relatives there. Akech has five siblings.
Akech was known as "Mary", her Christian second name in Adelaide, as Australian teachers found it difficult to pronounce her name.
Be proud of African names, and stop falling into the trap of saying all African names are hard to pronounce. Like European names are easy

he also had his car sent, along with a parade of supercars, to a 3-year-old boy named morgan riddler in the same situation who was supposed to attend silverstone and sadly didn't make it [here]
here he is with billy monger at the 2017 british gp after his accident, and here's his post from 2017 congratulating billy on his nomination for laureau's sporting moment of the year and encouraging people to vote for him
