Q: Why are there so many cats? Like not just Nekotalia, but all
the random cats everywhere. Is there some deep meaning to them or does Hima
just really like cats?
A: He just really likes cats lol.
Q: Absolutely no idea if you touched on this
topic before. But do you have a theory on why there is an Ancient Greece and
Egypt and current Greece and Egypt. If it’s because of cultural difference,
shouldn’t other nations be in a similar situation? A example could be the
Nordics. I don’t know, I just thought it was curious. (By the way, huge fan!)
A: I haven’t, no worries! Anyways, it’s simpler
than you think. They perished because the culture and organization of people they represented was
taken over and replaced. In this case, they were conquered by Rome. Greece and
Egypt represent the inherited relics of their mothers’ cultures. It’s all in the name, really. Ex: Ancient Greece represented Ancient Greek civilization.
As for the
Nordics, I can see where you’re coming from. However, so far, no Scandinavian
Ancient has been created. It would make perfect sense, though.
Q: For South Korea’s and Seychelles’ profiles
it mentions that korea likes studying abroad and Seychelles is a model student
. Does that mean some nations go to school or college ?
A: As stated in one of South Korea’s character
notes, it is possible for them to attend school on their own volition [x].
What people often confuse and take literally is
the World Academy. It’s an AU within canon. It’s not a legitimate school that
the nations attend.
Lastly, when nations are referred to as model/honour
students, it’s most often a figure of speech. For example, because Finland is
so successful in the EU, he’s referred to as an honour student [x].
In Seychelles’ case, she’s an honour student in
Africa in the sense that she’s economically successful in her tourism and
fishing industries. She’s better off in comparison to other African nations.
Q: You know how Norway and Iceland knew they were
brothers and could sense each other’s presence. And how Iceland could feel 🇸🇨(sorry I forgot how to spell her
name) relating to him. Can all countries do this? Can they also feel their
fates a-line with other countries who they end up in “marriages” with? Do you
know the answer or have hypothesis for this?
A: *Seychelles.
There’s no canon evidence about the marriage part,
but…
Nations can sense each other and distinguish
themselves from humans.
Ex: Colonizing nations knew that America was one of
them [x].
Ex: When he’s born, Iceland instinctively knows that
he’s not human [x].
Q: Where can I find a list of the human names?
A: I try to be patient with this question, I
really do, but google is your friend!
All you
have to do is search up a Hetalia country and a Hetarchive Wiki page pops up in the first
few results. The mods at Hetarchive have put a lot of time and effort to make a ton of information about the characters accessible. Don’t let their years
of hard work be in vain.
That said, the original post including the
nations’ human names was taken down from Kitayume, so some people don’t take
them as canon.
To make things easier, there’s this page here
with character profiles should you want to look up their human names
[x].
