Movie
Description
Sealand, also known by Peter Kirkland, embodies the micronation Principality of Sealand, independent since September 2, 1967. He appears as a young boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and distinctively thick eyebrows reminiscent of England. His standard outfit is a white sailor shirt with a blue collar, blue necktie, matching hat, blue capri pants, white knee-high socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. Earlier designs showed green eyes and shorter shorts, later shifting to blue eyes and longer capris; his height remains consistently 130 cm (approximately 4 feet 3 inches).
Energetic and enthusiastic, Sealand persistently seeks recognition as a sovereign nation, often ignored by others. He ends sentences with "desu yo" for emphasis and dreams of building a powerful empire commanding respect, even from "Jerk England." Despite their constant bickering, he secretly relies on England while avoiding admission of this dependence. His interests include video games, internet browsing, eating chocolate bars, and playing football (soccer). He owns an unusually large pet "hamster," standing 130 cm tall, which confuses others.
Sealand's relationships reflect his quest for validation. He constantly argues with England, notably after a failed attempt to infiltrate a G8 meeting disguised as Canada, ruined by his poor costume and outburst. He befriended Latvia over shared experiences of being overlooked, though Latvia's insecurities affect their bond. Auctioned online, Sweden became his sole bidder and adoptive guardian; they share a close relationship, with Sweden inventing games like "Dambolis" for him. He also connected with micronations Wy and Seborga, but his attempt to befriend the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) ended in rejection and hostility when TRNC stressed his partial recognition by Turkey.
In *Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White!*, Sealand plays a minor yet symbolically significant role. When the World 8 nations are stranded during an alien invasion, he arrives on his mobile marine platform, aiming to leverage the crisis for recognition. He fires cannons at the alien Pictonians but is overwhelmed and transformed into their white blob form. His intervention highlights his determination despite his status. The transformed nations later revert after the aliens' defeat.
Sealand possesses superhuman strength due to his metallic sea fort composition, enabling abilities like "Rocket Punch," though this requires a children's mecha costume. His background loosely draws from real events, such as Sealand's 2007 eBay auction, which Sweden won within the series' narrative.
