What does Tony represent? Or America’s whale? Do you think they even represent anything? Why does America have them as friends? Do you think they may represent something like Canada’s bear does for him?

Excellent questions. I believe that likewise
to Kumajiro does with Canada, Tony and America’s whale might represent parts of
his inner psyche too.

[They’re just pets by the way, there’s no
deeper reason for him having them other than company.]

Post coming up tonight!

Can you do a mischaracterization post on Latvia?

Sure! Post coming up soon!

[He’s surprised that I picked him again.]

What exactly is France’s sexuality?

I don’t want to give any labels, not to mention that it’s not explicitly stated in canon. This character note is helpful in giving you a general idea, though.

“He’ll go for men and women of all ages, and even non-humans, as long as they’re beautiful.”

He also seems to have a preference for “macho men”, and makes a lot of references to “touching pecs.”

You guys are literally the best, thank you 😭

Sometimes, the fandom of hetalia thinks that France regrets what happened to Holy Rome. What do You think about it?

I think he suffers from a lot of guilt. To be fair, I’m going to branch off and give two alternative explanations for France’s previous hatred of Germany (asides from the obvious war reasons). Of course, I’ll still link it back to Holy Rome.

One will be based on the fact that Germany is an amnesiac Holy Rome, and the other explanation will focus on France simply attempting to mend his relationship with Germany (a Holy Rome look-alike) after the world wars.

Either way, I’ve noticed a lot of metaphors of France projecting his guilt in communicating his desire to fix things with Germany.

Post coming up tonight!

(I hope you don’t mind me adding to the politics discussion): I’d like to bring up the interesting case of China. As far as I know, there is little mention of the politics between China and his boss in the anime/manga, which is actually a very accurate description of how opaque Chinese politics really is. For example, the last documentary that the PLA has allowed was shot in the 1990s. The citizens who openly protest are silenced, and the rest are kept in the dark, i.e. not told anything.

We do get a bit of insight on this opaqueness in Volume 5, where China begins censoring everything in response to Hong Kong wanting to leave him.

Other than that, yes. I think Hima doesn’t touch on the topic for this exact reason.

Are the nations ever concerned about America and his elections?

Well, I mean, it’s enough for even Romano to give America advice on what he should do.

Do you think you could do another post on the nations and their politics?

Sure! While I’ve touched on the differences of the nations’ own wills in comparison to those of their bosses, I haven’t really talked about the extent to which they’re involved in their politics. Not to mention that they’ve been shown to be aware of corruption, and yet have very little power to do anything about it.

Post coming up soon!
