Q: If
the UN has a personification does that mean the EU also has a personification
or is it not significant enough to have one? Another question is that why do
you think certain countries haven’t been given a personification in the hetalia
series, countries like aph Indonesia and Hawaii, is there a reason for this or
is it just a creative choice by the creator?
A: The EU does not have a personification.
There’s no real reason for this. It doesn’t have anything to do with
significance.
As for creating other characters, Hima typically cites that he
wants to travel to the country in question before he personifies them.
Q: How
much does France like anime?
A: A
significant amount considering that it’s so popular among his people.
Characteristics of the population are often reflected in the personification’s
attitude, behaviour, habits, and overall personality.
Ex: He’s
involved in a debate over anime voice actors with Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Q: Any
theory of why France has some perverted tendencies? I know that he just likes
to show affection to others, but sometimes it goes too far.
Q: Why does France strip people, like that’s a pretty recurring
theme from the napoleon strips he was shown to have the thing stripping people from their clothes
and during the Christmas event of 2007 he stripped a bunch of nations naked.
A: It
did go too far. The old characterization of France is pretty awful. However,
the sexualized humour of it is not what people think. It’s honestly just bizarre,
but it does have a logic to it.
France’s stripping of people doesn’t have to do with a French
stereotype of sexuality from my understanding. It’s a historical representation
of how France picked and reaped at leftover territories after European conflicts…
a scavenger if you will. A good idiom in relation to this would be stripping something to the bone.
Just like France stripped Austria for winnings after the War of
Austrian Succession, this was likewise translated into how he interacted with
other nations – by stripping them. [x]
Hopefully, this makes sense, yes?
Q: Do
you think that England has some “big brother” trauma?
A: 100% he does.
Ex: England tears up when he’s faced with the prospect of
becoming America’s guardian. At first, he actually hesitated in accepting the ‘big
brother’ label because of how poorly he was treated by his own older brothers. [x]
The bad memories of his older brothers’ treatment of him that England doesn’t even accept the label of ‘big brother’ at first when he assumes responsibility for America.
Also…
Q: Are
the nations’ homes and/or things provided by the state or they work and earn
money themselves to pay for their own stuff?
A: It’s not clear whether the state provides anything for them.
All we know is that the nations work for their bosses and that the wealth of
the country is reflected in how much money the nation has (e.g., GDP).
Ex: France’s wallet is empty as a result of his economy’s poor performance. [x]
The personification is a physiological embodiment of their nation. Each city/ landmark is reflected in one part of their body.
That’s why, when France ‘rubs’ Italy’s chest during an economic recession, he’s looking for territory to leech money off.
Do you see what I mean by bizarre logic?
