*-->Background Information: Běla was raised under the care of Austria for most of his life and also had some close ties to Hungary, as that is where his sister, Slovakia, lived. His life was a comfortable one until the breakout of World War I, where he, his caretakers, and sibling were targets of the Allies. After the war ended and Austria and Hungary divorced, he and his sister were forced to live in a spearate house together. This went well for a while until the breakout of a second World War and his sister sided with Nazi Germany. Běla felt truly betrayed at this point, being the only one in his former family who had not wanted to side with the Axis Powers (save for Austria, but he also had had no choice). His sister stayed in his house until 1993 when she gained her independence.
After Europe was pieced back together, it took him a good sixty years to get back on his feet and went through a Communist government started by Russia before forming his own democracy. After becoming a separate nation, he changed his last name as well. He is now considered a developed nation, but was not recognized as so until 2006. He is a mix of personalities: Austria's decorum, Hungary's temper, a roaming side to some of his gypsy heritage (he was called Bohemia for a long time by England) and he also has a love for his own culture, trying to get the other nations to see that he is as good of a country as they are.
