Nations

Their emotions are far more complicated and connected.
If their mental state becomes instable, so becomes the country.
If the nation gets a feeling of superiority, so do the people.
If the nation is at a deep place, so is, ususlly the country.
But likewise, the emotional bond between civilians and nations are extremely close and fragile. 

Due to this special connection, a country can only be finished off by breaking it's representative's mind to the fully. As long as theres a little of resistance left, the nation will come back.

Poland survived, Lithuania, Finland, Prussia, Austria.. All these had a great resistant wall inside him.
Out of them all Prussia came the closest to break together. Multiple times.
In the middle ages, his final moment was after Grunwald. Being defeated at such a major battle gave him a hard punch. He nearly died, but the establishement of the Duchy of Prussia saved him.

1918, the dissolution of his kingdom nearly brought him to suicide although Germany held up his mental state.

1947, he got the closest after being electrocuted thrice and humiliated by America. He got amnesia and forgot about his own person.
His body showed slow healing process and Russia recognised that Prussia was close to shattering.

Of course, China had experienced this endless times as well.
