Line 35:
** If the hair was parted like America's I could see it. Maybe he got Netherland's hair, a mix of Sweden and Finland's features (they mentioned finding him), and England's laws, governing ideals, and other features (whathaveyou)... the melting pot in full swing. Perhaps he has a bit from France too, who knows... Canada simply has more noticeable aspects of France and England because he was raised by them longer and the ethnic populations of Canada resemble them the most (French and English Canadians, respectively).
** In Hetalia, everyone has [[Only Six Faces]]. Of course they look alike.
* If America started as the personification of any "New _____" colony, it was New Sweden. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120105075942/http://aph.starry-sky.com/sntr.html The Battle For America strip] talks about America first appearing to Finland and Sweden in the latter's territory, not in New Netherlands. The strip also implies that America resembles Finland more than England or France (they promptly deny that it matters).
** There were more Finns in New Sweden than Swedes, too.

******* [[Finns With Fearsome Forests]] ?
 
Line 110:
== Australia's human name is Bruce ==
Why mess with a perfectly good stereotype, especially since it's Hetalia we're talking about.
* Honestly, I preferred something like Oswald, or 'Oz' for short, since that's what Australia's nicknamed anyway, at least from what I've seen when watching [[F 1F1]].
** Ladies and gentleman! Introducing: Bruce "Oz" Oswald, AKA Australia!
*** Somehow I would have thought Australia's last name would be Kelly, after Ned Kelly. How can you NOT name Australia after the father of Badassry in his land? Also the surname Kelly is in the top ten most common surnames in Australia still, so it is contempory too.
Line 238:
*** A coverup? Or maybe mistaken sex?
**** A cover up from who? For what reason? There's no point. And the Nordics (most of them, anyway) have been together for well over a millennia. Especially considering one of them is a hyperactive loud-mouth with little regard for other's wants, it would have come out and stayed out.<br />We still don't know China's sex for certain, but these speculations are getting out of hand. Yes, there was gender confusion in the series, but it was on two young children (who we already knew the real sex of, by the way) when all the discussion is on grown men. Just because you can apply such a concept to a few characters doesn't mean that everyone who isn't [[Rated "M" for Manly]] should be automatically suspected.
***** "We still don't know China's sex for certain"? Oh for goodness' sake, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120502170645/http://aph.starry-sky.com/v2_014-024.html HIMA HIMSELF] refers to China as male. Calling him big brother and comparing him to an old man...what more proof do you need?
 
== Spain controls Paul the Octopus. ==
Line 284:
Netherlands is. The nation-tan's height is supposed to be based off the average for its country, right? In that case, Netherlands would be the tallest, taller than Russia and Sweden.
* If its based on average height then Canada would be the second tallest which would coincidentally also work in regards to country size because he's the second largest country on the planet.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104235440/http://www.interbasket.net/news/4385/2009/09/average-height-by-country-males-20-years/ Average Canadians are nowhere near the tallest...]
 
== Turkey raped Hungary ==
Ottoman Hungary was especially rebellious, and Turkey was the closest thing to a [[Big Bad]] ever seen in the series, considering Germany's.... [[Bowdlerise|softening up]] during [[Those Wacky Nazis|WWII]]. As for canon, see the strip where Prussia finds Hungary injured: She explicitly states that Turkey/Ottoman Empire left her like that, and her clothes are torn to the point where Prussia got a pretty good look at her cleavage without trying. Her reaction to this is commenting on her "awesome muscles", implying she doesn't seem to fully understand that she's a girl ''quite'' yet (and so wouldn't be able to fully grasp exactly what Turkey did beyond simply beating her up) But following dialogue makes it seem like it's starting to sink in, meaning whatever Turkey did made her understand once and for all that she wasn't one of the guys. Prussia being the focus of the strip was meant to distract us from what happened here. Looking at [https://web.archive.org/web/20131001051914/http://www.queendom.com/articles/articles.htm?a=5 this site], it could also explain:
* (number two) Her settling down into a maid and marrying/maintaining a relationship with Austria, whose gentle, refined demeanor makes him probably the male character most unlike Turkey.
* (number five) Her reaction to Austria being sexually harassed and the whole [[Yaoi Fangirl]] [[Covert Pervert]] thing.
Line 342:
* I agree that they look more female than male. I hope they are, because Hetalia needs more girls.
* Also, New Zealand was the first country in the world to allow women to vote. I hope New Zealand's a girl. A kickass one at that.
* Their [http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hetalia/d/d9/Miniw_1.jpg new]{{Dead link}} [http://www.shoutwiki.com/w/images/hetalia/6/69/NZland.jpg drawings]{{Dead link}} is even more ambiguously feminine. But they have no hair-decs, which usually signifies countries as a girl. Maybe the mangaka's breaking the rules?
** Well, Norway is a male and he has a [https://web.archive.org/web/20110331095239/http://i.animecrazy.net/norway001.jpg hair-dec], eh? It could go either way, but this troper is definitely hoping for a female.
 
== Canada was supposed to be a main character from the first episode. ==
Line 473:
== Korean Spirit = Korean Soul = Seoul ==
Am I really the only one who thought this? Really?
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20121101043120/http://www.hetarchive.net/scanlations/files/cazzo2.gif I do believe that's canon.]
 
== Sealand is the next Canada ==
Line 503:
Historically, "Southern Italy" was essentially Sicily, Naples, and eventuallt the Kingdom of Two Sicilys, and it's still an autonomous region with a distinct language and culture. It's also the place most strongly associated with [[The Mafia]].
 
== Turkey is the future [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Imperium of Man.]] And probably the God Emperor, too. ==
It's mentioned that the God Emperor of Mankind was born in Anatolia, where Turkey would later emerge. So maybe Turkey got on his good side at some point, over time assuming different identities until he became known as the Imperium.
