Ameriblob
A fan name given to a small anthropomorphic white mochi blob with glasses and a "Nantucket" hair, drawn by Himaruya in some sketches.
Bad Friends Trio
A term used to describe the trio of France, Prussia, and Spain.
Belle
A nickname (and alternatively a human name) used for the character of Belgium.
Chibimano
The fan name occasionally used for the child version of Romano, from the words Chibi (little) and Romano.
Chibimerica
A name used for the child version of America, from the words Chibi (little) and America.
Chibirisu
A name used for the child version of England, from the words Chibi (little) and Igirisu (England).
DeSu
An abbreviated term for Denmark/Sweden and a pun on the word desu.
East Germany
A fanon term (so far) for post-WWII Prussia, most prevalent in fanworks where he survives the dissolution of his country and represents the eastern half of Germany (post-war). It was coined in part due to the fact that Prussia refers to his brother as "West" when the actual nation of Germany wasn't split apart until after WWII.
In this hypothetical incarnation, he is also referred to as simply GDR (German Democratic Republic) or GDR!Prussia. In canon, Prussia's exact status in the modern day is something that currently remains to be seen.
Fatty Russia
A term referring to art where Russia is portrayed as being somewhat overweight or more noticeably heavier and larger than the other characters. In canon, Russia himself claims to simply be big-boned, even wearing a shirt that states such in a sketch by Himaruya.
Five Meters
An injoke started by a fan about Prussia, in a discussion about the average penis sizes of men in various countries. After stating that Prussia was "five meters long", the joke quickly caught on as a meme and fanworks with Prussia can often be seen referencing "FIVE METERS".
Germancest
A term used to describe the incestual fanon pairing of both Germany and Prussia, and the fanworks relating to it.
Gilbo
A fan nickname for Gilbert Beilschmidt (aka Prussia).
House Of Savoy
A term used for the grouping of Spain, both Italy brothers, and France. Based off the actual historical House Of Savoy, which included the countries of Italy, France, and Spain.
Iggy
A nickname for England, first coined in the Japanese fandom from the Japanese word for England, Igirisu. It was also used in canon a few times, most notably in the strip titled Iggy-Iggy Annoyance.
Iggyblob
A name for the anthropomorphic mochi blob that resembles England, also drawn by Himaruya in a few sketches.
Iggybrows
A term used to describe the thick eyebrows of both England and Sealand.
Italycest
A term used to describe the incestual fanon pairing of both North and South Italy, and the fanworks relating to it.
JIG
A term made up of the first letters of Japan, Italy, and Germany, used to denote a threesome pairing or love triangle with the three characters in slash fanfiction and art. Also used as an alternative name for the trio by fans, rather than "Axis".
Katyusha
A fanon name coined for Ukraine, from a name for rocket artillery and the derivative of a Russian girls' name, Yekaterina. Some fans refer to her by a full name, Yekaterina "Katyusha" Braginskaya, though as there is no canon name given to her by Himaruya or evidence of her having one, it is simply a fanon name.
Legolas
A nickname used jokingly for the character of Germania, due to his apparent resemblance of the Lord Of The Rings character.
Lili
A nickname, and alternatively a fanon human name for the character of Liechtenstein.
Mathias Kohler
A fanon name for Denmark, which was mistaken by many to be an actual name given to him by Hidekaz Himaruya after someone had added it to the Hetalia TVTropes character page. It was later found to be false, as by the time Denmark was created, Himaruya had stopped giving the characters human names.
Meimei
A fanon human name used for Taiwan, from the Taiwanese word for "little sister".
Mochimerica
An alternative name used for the mochi blob version of America.
NorFin
A term used for the pairing of Norway/Finland.
Norge
A nickname used for Norway by fans.
Ro-Ber-To ("Roberto")
The historical Italian name for the actual Axis Powers, also used by some parts of fandom. It combines the first syllables of Rome, Berlin, and Tokyo.
Roma
A fan nickname for Holy Roman Empire, taken from the Japanese rendering of his name, Shinsei Roma. It has also been used as a placeholder for his human name in fanworks.
On other occasions, Ancient Rome is referred to by this, the "Roma" coming from Roma Antiqua.
SuFin
A shortened, commonly used term for the pairing Sweden/Finland.
UKe
A fanterm used to describe England/United Kingdom as the uke (bottom) in slash fanfiction and fanart. The term is often used when speaking about the pairing, America/England.
Vital Regions
A term that originated from the webcomic, it is used as a double entendre when referring to invasions, or just actual genitalia. Though popularized by Prussia, the "vital regions" term has been used by other characters in the series. This term and "five meters" are commonly seen in discussions about Prussia and fanworks with him.
Wanwan
A name coined for the Taiwan character, by Taiwanese fans of the series.
