- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A national personification is an anthropomorphization of a nation or its people; it can appear in both editorial cartoons and propaganda. Some early personifications in the Western world tended to be national manifestations of the majestic wisdom and war goddess Minerva/Athena, and often took the Latin name of the ancient Roman province. Examples of this type include Britannia, Germania, Hibernia, Helvetia and Polonia. Representations of the citizenry of a nation—rather than of the nation itself—are Deutscher Michel and John Bull. A national personification is not the same as a national animal, although in some cartoons the national animal rather than the human personification is used to represent a country.
