Yeah, it really depends on how they're drawn. So I answer none of them.

 

[ParkCungHee]

Germania. I'd tamper with her purity of blood.

 

[Godwynn]

I want to vote for Italia and Germania together, only if they are lesbians.

Germania has the lighter hair, Italia has the darker.

 

[Miles Teg]

That portrait is from the Renaissance. Are we sure they're both female?

 

[Karalysia]

Men in drag. Possibly castrated. Oh you Christians.

 

[ParkCungHee]

That portrait is from the Renaissance. Are we sure they're both female?

Don't really care.

 

[Godwynn]

Nah, those are both female. The personification of Germania in 1914, however, remains questionable.

He/She is about to stomp a new mudhole in someone's rear end.
