What would be your Pacific Nation team?

If having a military/scientific scout team with diverse nationality, using stereotypes, what roles do which nation's characters play?

• This would be offensive to many, but i am genuinely want to use nation stereotype to create a back-bone traits for my characters. I think of a blonde, blue-eye German who would be a kind of rigid, follow-the-book but very effective military captain. An Asian (Most likely Chinese, but could also be Japan) biologist who would be good and occasionally slip their mother tongue. An US military man, not sure the lone hero types or the rigid, follow-order discipline soldier type (Though i think would mostly be the former, to prevent contradiction with the German)

  A2A Ok, yeah it is a bit of a sensitive subject when taking into account the nature of stereotypes etc. But for the front line soldier, I would choose African soldiers who have unfortunately often been subjected to war and terrible scenes of violence from an age when many western teenagers are still having everything done for them by their parents, all wrapped up in cotton wool.  These soldiers would be fearless, ruthless and un-fazed by anything thrown at them. I would probably have a Japanese commander to ensure precision organisation, and Japanese technicians, biologists etc. I would use the British SAS for certain missions, arguably one of the most respected special services in the world. Scandinavians for any conflict that may occur in colder climates with their expert arctic training and knowledge.  I would also imagine they would be a nation that's humanitarian and diplomatic in many ways.  I don't have anything to back that up with other than a perception I seem to get from them as 'good people' which may well be false. The Russians for their fire-power and weapons. The US Air Force and Navy, I think I'm right in saying they are the most diverse and capable in the world. But these are of course very shallow stereotypes and observations that came to mind without giving too much thought.
