It is difficult to think of a nation as an abstract collection of people
 living on a patch of territory.
It is easier to think of as a person.
This is why we sometimes call Great Britain                             __1__
 "Britannia" and the United States "Columbia", and think of it as stately
 women. We also use masculine symbols in our                              __2__
 personification of nations. In 1712 John Arbuthont, a Scot,wrote a political
 satire in that the characters were supposed                                    __3__
to be typical members of different nationalities. The Englishman was John Bull.
 This name, which was sufficient flattering to be                               __4__
adopted generally, combined the most common English first name with a last name
 indicated strength. John Bull is usually                                            __5__
pictured as a partly businessman with a Union Jack on his hatband.
After the American War of Independence began in 1783, the United    __6__
States was knownfor "Brother Jonathan". Jonathan was a biblical        __7__
name associated with simple people from rural areas, and it seemed fitting since
 the United States is rural and unsophiscated, and since                    __8__
American considered their type of simplicity a virtue compared to        __9__
the wickedness of European cities. It is possible, however, that the name was
originated with President George Washington, who would                  __10__
often say, when faced with a hard problem, "Let us consult Brother Jonathan",
referring to his secrectary, Johnathan Trumbull.
