Axis Powers Hetalia/WMG/Future Nations: Difference between revisions

The series has a distinct shortage of female compared to male nations. In Ireland's case, the author would be totally justified in making Ireland female, since Ireland's name ''Éireann'' / ''Éire'' gives us the (female) first name of [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin |Erin]]. She could possibly be a [[Bottle Fairy]] [[Tsundere]] with [[Cool Big Sis]] attributes, constantly fighting against England (now the main fighting has to do with the above-mentioned "custody battle over North Ireland"). She could also have had a hand in raising the other Commonwealth nations (after all, England IRL and in Hetalia had a hands-off approach; meanwhile, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Newfoundlanders:Irish Newfoundlanders|Ca]][http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfoundland_Irish:Newfoundland Irish|na]][http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada–Ireland_relations:Canada–Ireland relations|da]] and the Oceania-region Commonwealth nations have a history of Irish immigration). Going off on a tangent, Ireland and Scotland may have actually raised the Commonwealth nations together in England's absence. That would explain [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Gaelic:Canadian Gaelic|Canadian Gaelic]], and why more English Canadians claim Irish and/or Scottish heritage than English proper. Adding to my theory, [[Bonnie Scotland|Scotland]] will have to be most definitely male, since what better name to give him than [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Scott]]? Bonus points if they're [[Scotireland|twins]].

Why Corazon Rizal? Well Philippines-tan will most likely have a Spanish name (almost everyone in the Philippines does). Plus it'd be a nice tribute to [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Corazon_Aquino:Corazon Aquino|a well-loved former president]] and [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Rizal:Jose Rizal|the national hero.]] Some of the other countries' names are based off of historical figures as well.

* Portugal's [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Anglo-Portuguese_AlliancePortuguese Alliance|close relationship]] with Spain's maritime nemesis England probably doesn't help matters. Goodness, they probably ganged up on Spain to make his life hell during the colonial era...

* Portugal also probably holds a grudge for when Spain was [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_Union:Iberian Union|in control of]] him or her. Their relations have consistently been terrible until the modern day, though they're starting to work it out now.

...are both still alive, and are personifications of the various [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Y:Human Y-chromosome_DNA_haplogroupchromosome DNA haplogroup|genetic]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mitochondrial_DNA_haplogroup:Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup|markers]] in the modern human population. The Y-chromosome-tans are all male, and the mitochondial DNA-tans are all female. Together, they gave rise to the earliest nation-tans, from which all others are descended. Of course, this also means that the first nation-tans were Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve, denoting a common ancestor of we mortals and the nation-tans.
