Misconception: Nyotalia isn’t canon.

Reality: The word “Nyotalia” isn’t canon. It’s a fanmade
term. On the other hand, alternate female and male versions of APH characters have
been officially created. They’re character designs, and some of them also have
character notes and personalities.

Himaruya stated on his blog that each nation will have a
reverse male and female counterpart [x].

While designs, the reverse male and female versions are
separate people from their original counterpart. As such, their personalities
are slightly different [x].

Ex: Both female Italies are stronger fighters [x] [x].

Ex: Female England, Canada, and America [x].

Ex: Female Austria and Prussia [x].

Ex: Male Taiwan [x].

Ex: An old version of Portugal’s design – that has since
changed slightly – and his female version [x].

Ex: The female nations’ male versions [x]. *not all of them*

Ex: The male nations’ female versions [x]. *not all of them*

It’s important to remember that Himaruya is open to fans
choosing whatever names they please for “nyo” characters [x].

Another thing that confuses people is the female versions’
cameo in volume 4. The premise is that Estonia has a dream where God grants him
his [alleged] fantasy to be surrounded by girls – although this plays out with
the male nations being replaced by their female versions.

The point to differentiate here is that while the female
versions don’t exist in canon, given that they’re separate versions of the
original canon nations, they’re officially designed characters with
personalities that have made an official appearance. Although, this appearance
doesn’t occur in reality. [I know, it’s confusing.]

If it helps, Estonia’s reaction to the female nations sets
out the fact that they don’t exist in canon. Nonetheless, they’re canon because
they’re officially designed characters with personalities.

Fun facts:

When asked, Himaruya explained that the reason why Estonia
has these strange dream experiences – including the mochi one – is because his
“elite glasses summon strange fellows,” [x].

This is just a speculation, but my best bet as to why there
are far more male nations than there are female ones is because Himaruya has
repeatedly admitted to not being good at drawing girls [x] [x].
