Armeniaball

Armeniaball(Հայաստան գնդակը; IPA: /hajastan gəndakə/) is an ancient countryball located next to Turkeyball, Georgiaball (the European one), Azerbaijanball, and Iranball. It's known for having issues with Kebab over the years. Cannot into European Union because Russiaball said no, so instead is into Eurasian Union. He is also a member of CSTOball. Armenia also can into pretty and unique Elvish alphabet.

Religion
95% of the population is Christian. Worth mentioning that Armenia is known to be the first state to adopt Christianity as religion. Has his own sect of Christianity called Armenian Apostolic. There are thousands of churches on his clay and he is still making more (though it'd be better to use the money on other things ). He has one functioning mosque for the whole country built when Persiaball ruled him, mostly only used by Iranball tourists. And the one pagan temple of his that wasn't destroyed by Christians is occasionally used by a small sect of neopagans.

93% - Armenian Apostolic.

2%- Other Christianity.

1% - Yazidism.

4% - None or Other (Atheist, Jew, neo-paganism, Shia (best) Islam, etc).

History
Armeniaball first mentioned by Persiaball in 500's BC, his clay appearing in world's oldest map. He emerged when his father Urartuball died. He has had many incarnations, relatives and ancestors since then, as can be read on other pages. Modern Armeniaball was into independence in 1991 after Sovietball died. He was still of badly damaged by 1988 earthquake, and by fighting with Azerbaijanball over his brother Nagorno-Karabakhball, and his economic state was worse because Azerbaijanball and his longtime enemy Turkeyball blockaded his borders. 1990's were not kind to him, he had no electricity and was busy with war. But it is of thanks to his friendship with Iranball and Georgiaball that he is of survived, as well as because of his diaspora. Although the war with Azerbaijan ended with ceasefire in 1994 (but not really since they still shoot at each other), Nagorno-Karabakhball is more or less independent. Azerbaijanball attacked him again in April 2016 in a renewed war, but was pushed back after four days, eventually bringing back the (poorly kept) ceasefire and failing to take over the clay.

 * [[File:Soviet-icon.png]] / [[File:Russia-icon.png]] Sovietball/Russiaball - Big Brother is of watching Armenia. He misses the economic stability he had with Sovietball, but likes being independent. Russiaball is helping protect him from kebab, and in return Armeniaball lets there be Russian military bases on his clay. They have mutual best interests. Armenia starting to wonder if Russia actually cares for him or just using him though.
 * [[File:USA-icon.png]] USAball - Support from the sunny [[File:California-icon.png]] California, who Armeniaball sometimes dubs New Cilicia. In fact Armenia receives the second highest U.S. aid per capita behind Israel. USAball wants Armeniaball and Azerbaijanball to stop fighting and for Armeniaball to make up with Turkeyball so he can put an oil pipeline through Armenia's clay there can be peace in the region. And he wishes to undermine Armeniaball's friendship with Russiaball.
 * [[File:Eurasian Union-icon.png]] Eurasian Unionball - Hopes to making money with him, but has only started. This better not be some kind of trick to resurrect Soviet Union.

 * [[File:Assyria-icon.png]] Assyriaball - Went through similar experiences with kebab. They are of good friends, as close as Armenia is with Greeceball. His dad Urartuball was Assyriaball's arch-enemy but they've moved past that now. Their gods Khaldi and Ashur can into being friends.
 * [[File:Poland-icon.png]] Polandball - These countryballs aren't trade partners or something like that, but it should be there, because there is love between its people. Armeniaball's presence in the country goes back to Medieval times when Armeniaballs were fleeing [[File:Seljuk-icon.png]] Seljukball. Poland recognizes genocide, and gifs Armenia cherries. Yum.
 * [[File:India-icon.png]] Indiaball - They have been friends for a long time, and have close ties. [[File:Yerevan-icon.png]] Yerevanball has a yearly Indian festival too. Armeniaball supports him against evil Pakistan.

Neutral

 * [[File:Palestine-icon.png]] Palestineball - He's always supporting Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh without even knowing it.
 * [[File:Israel-icon.png]] Israelcube - Armeniaball has his own section in [[File:Jerusalem-icon.png]] Jerusalemcube, but a love/hate relationship with Israelcube, since he sells weapons to Azerbaijanball and won't recognize genocide despite suffering through his own. They have a lot in common but often find themselves on opposing sides.
 * [[File:Kurdistan-icon.png]] Kurdistanball- Kurdistan say he is of sorry for helping [[File:Turkey-icon.png]] Turkeyball commit genocide. Armeniaball not accept apology yet, but is secretly rooting for Kurdistanball in its rivalry with Turkeyball.
 * [[File:Turkmen-icon.png]] Turkmenistanball - Armenia is actually okay with him, because at least his ancestors stayed home instead of invading other countries and doing genocides.
 * [[File:China-icon.png]] Chinaball - Is trade partner and interested in Armeniaball's economic development. Might be a good backup partner if Russiaball ever bails out on him. Also gave Erevanball some buses. Thanks Chinastan!
 * [[File:Syria-icon.png]] Syriaball - They got along well, as he helped Armeniaballs during the genocide. Feels sorry for him these days though. Armeniaball is taking in some of his Syrian-Armenian and Yazidi refugees, who bring with them their fine cuisine.
 * [[File:EU-icon.png]] EUball - Armeniaball has mostly friendly feelings for him, even though [[File:Russia-icon.png]] Russiaball is making Armeniaball stay away from him. Disagrees with EUball on Crimea though.
 * [[File:UK-icon.png]] UKball - They are friends, but he won't recognise genocide and won't give back [[File:Ancient Armenia-icon.png]] Ancient Armeniaball's statue of Anahit.
 * [[File:Serbia-icon.png]] Serbiaball - They are OK, mostly, but Armeniaball can't understand why he is having military deal with Azeris if he is supposed to be a kebab remover. Also they disagree on [[File:Nagorno-Karabakh-icon.png]] Nagorno-Karabakhball because of Serbia not wanting [[File:Kosovo-icon.png]] Kosovoball's independence. They are often portrayed as closer friends in comics than they are in real life.
 * [[File:Kosovo-icon.png]] Kosovoball - Reminds him of his little brother Nagorno-Karabakh. May recognize his independence soon, to stay consistent.

Rivals

 * [[File:Hungary-icon.png]] Hungaryball - Hard to forgive that one time he was into making dirty dealings with Azerbaijanball, and released a convicted Azeri murderer of Armenians. Still have severed relations. He's unpredictable.
 * [[File:Slovenia-icon.png]] Sloveniaball - Though they have been friends, corrupt government said Armenia should return "Azeri" clay. Don't be bribed by the oil monies and caviar!
 * [[File:Kazakhstan-icon.png]] Kazakhbrick - Supposed to be my ally in [[File:CSTO-icon.png]] CSTOball, but instead supports Azeris! Canceled CSTOball's meeting in [[File:Yerevan-icon.png]] Yerevanball during the 4 Day War! Dammit Borat, yuo traitor!
 * [[File:NATO-icon.png]] NATOball - Kick Turkeyball out already, yuo know he's only in it for himself. And stop picking on Russiaball!

Enemies

 * [[File:Turkey-icon.png]] Turkeyball - REMOVE KEBAB! remove kebab you are worst turk. Turkey, we never forgeve you. Armenian genocide worstest day of life. WE WILL GET YOU!!! REMOVE KEBAB FROM PREMISES, you will get caught! Serbia+Armenia+Greece+Kurdistan=Turk is kill… RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE NOW, OR ELSE!!!!! And most of all, GIB GREECE AND I OUR RIGHTOUS CLAY BACK!!!!! Armeniaball actually tried to make up with him in 2009, but Turkeyball wanted Armeniaball to give up Nagorno-Karabakhball and forget the genocide before borders could be opened, so no deal.


 * [[File:Azerbaijan-icon.png]] Azerbaijanball - Only one who possibly hates him even more than Turkeyball does, because he lost custody of [[File:Nagorno-Karabakh-icon.png]] Nagorno Karabakhball. Continues to violate ceasefire and even shoot across Armeniaball's borders. Is a more active enemy while Turkeyball is more passive aggressive.
 * [[File:ISIS-icon.png]] ISISball  - Bastard is of removing him from Syriaball and destroying his churches. Armenia is hoping he stays away from his borders. Armeniaball suspects Turkeyball is aiding and funding him.
