Scotland:
Rumour: He has an
official character design.
Reality: He doesn’t
have an official character design, albeit making a canon appearance.
Scotland appears off-screen in “The Battle for America.”

Something often confused among fans is that these unspecified
character designs are Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland when no such
confirmation was given. These sketches remain as undesigned characters and are not the three brothers.

However, the top one matches a previous sketch of Himaruya’s,
where he gave a rough drawing of what he believed Scotland would look like. Thus,
it’s presumed that this may be Scotland and the other two UK
siblings. But, unless confirmed, they remain as unidentified nations.

Himaruya has gone on the record to say that the UK brothers will
appear in World Stars, as he did with Czechia and Slovakia who have already
made their formal appearances. Although, his initial intention was to draw the brothers first.

Unidentified African nations:
As touched on before, there is what seems to be a female
African nation in volume six that visits Seychelles. Others have concluded that
this nation is Madagascar. This is because of a scene where Seychelles refers
to Madagascar in the third person and that it is a common “speech quirk” to
refer to someone like this in Japanese. While this may be the case, and as
Hetarchive has also held, unless confirmed, they’re not a nation let alone
Madagascar.

A second, lesser-known instance of an unidentified African
nation is the pirate personification that Iceland has an interaction with.
Since it’s possible
for nations to evolve into new titles—ex: Hungary originally personified a
nomadic equestrian tribe and Liechtenstein, Austrian nobles—it would be
interesting to see if Himaruya ever decides to do something with this. For
example, the pirate personification could have survived past their old title
and evolved into a modern country. (note: I use nation loosely to encompass all
personfications, whereas ‘country’ is a nation that is politically recognized).

Lastly, there is also this sketch of what people have
presumed to be an unidentified African nation given that in the sketch they
appear with a meerkat.
