'''Macau''' (マカオ, ''Makao''), also known as '''Macao''', is a supporting character in the series '''Hetalia: Axis Powers'''.

嫌韓流 and 小林やすのり's 台湾の歴史 have very strong poiiltcal opinions. But Hetalia does not have such a strong message but focuses on a more entertaining aspect. Because of its innocent' look, the reader of Hetalia is less careful in absorbing the information, I'm afraid.

==Relationships==
===Hong Kong===
:''Main Article: [[Hong Kong]]''
Macau connects strongly to Hong Kong and they associate as good business and cultural partners. When Hong Kong had a rapid growth due to his ties with [[England]], Macau restfully watched over him without rivalry, instead focusing his energies on seeking his own connections in Europe.<ref name="vol4-bonus"/> In ''I, Like, Wanna be Free!'', he tries to mediate a confrontation between Hong Kong and China over the former wanting independence. When Hong Kong gets upset and leaves, Macau refuses to stop him, remarking that Hong Kong was cuter when he was living with England.<ref name="WannaBeFree">{{cite book|last=Hidekaz|first=Himaruya|year=2012|title=Axis Powers ヘタリア 5|trans_title=Axis Powers Hetalia 5|publisher=Gentosha|page=83-88|isbn=978-4-344-82563-5}}</ref>

==Appearances==
===Manga===
Macau makes a cameo appearance during the ''Christmas 2010'' event where he reports to [[Sealand]] that he hasn't found any markings on his body, appearing much calmer than the rest of the other characters. He makes his formal debut in the [[Volume 4]] strip ''Ilha Formosa ~Beautiful Island~'' where he places a bet with Hong Kong and Taiwan about what clothes China would wear that day, and appears disturbed about how poorly he dresses. During the ''Halloween 2010'' event, Macau attends America's Halloween party dressed in [[wikipedia:Journey to the West|Journey to the West]]-themed costumes.

==Trivia==
[[File:Initial Macau.png|100px|thumb|left|Initial Sketch of Macau from 2010.]]
*The initial sketch of Macau appeared at the end of a series of posts showcasing a series of possible character designs for a Portugal character. At the time of the character's formal debut in [[volume 4]], the Portugal character had yet to receive an official design.<ref name="Port-Proto"/>
*His underlings are said to be skillful at cooking as well as making toys and textiles. Their number one specialty is porcelain and ceramics.<ref name="vol4-bonus"/>
