'''''[[Hetalia: Axis Powers (anime)|Hetalia: The Beautiful World]]''''', based on the webmanga ''[[Hetalia: Axis Powers]]'' by [[Hidekaz Himaruya]], premiered on January 25, 2013 for mobile phones and animate.TV and premiered on January 28, 2013 for streaming on NicoNico Douga.<ref>http://www.animate.tv/pv/details.php?id=1356661058</ref> It is also the '''fifth season''' overall of the anime series '''''Hetalia'''''. It follows the adventures of anthropomorphic countries as they live through historical events and interact with focus on differences in culture and positive and negative Japanese stereotypes of other countries.

Unlike previous seasons, the majority of the episodes adapted one chapter or story from the original source material rather than spreading them out over a number of episodes. Multi-episode storylines include a [[Gakuen Hetalia]]-set story with the [[World Academy W#Newspaper Club|Newspaper Club]] profiling the school's clubs for an article, the nations gathering to watch and compare the horror movies created by each country, and a misunderstanding snowballing into a date between [[Italy]] and [[Germany]].

Four DVD Volumes containing episodes from the fourth season were released in Japan between April 24, 2013 and October 30, 2013. Each volume contained five of the originally broadcast episodes along with an additional unstreamed episode, and were originally released as limited edition packages containing a special CD with two alternate versions of the [[Mawaru Chikyuu Rondo]] theme song sung by a different character.<ref name="Official Site DVD List">{{cite web|url=http://hetalia.com/bw/product/dvd.html|title=DVD|accessdate=December 17, 2013}}</ref> An additional unstreamed episode will be included in the ''The Beautiful World'' Fandisc which will be released in Japan on February 26, 2014.<ref name="Nyotalia Episode">{{cite web|title=『ヘタリア The Beautiful World』の番外編的な未配信映像などを収録したDVDが発売決定！!|url=http://hetalia.com/bw/news/index.php?itemid=165|date=October 30, 2013|accessdate=December 17, 2013}}</ref>

[[File:Hetalia Volume 1 (JPN).png|thumb|200px|Japanese cover of ''Hetalia: Axis Powers'' [[Volume 1]].]]
'''Hetalia: Axis Powers''' (Axis Powers ヘタリア ''Akushisu Pawāzu Hetaria''), also known as '''Axis Powers Hetalia''', is a webmanga by [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] that began as a oneshot in July 2006. It later continued as a full series that same year, and in 2008 began being adapted into printed manga [[wikipedia:Tankōbon|tankōbon]]. In September 2011 the series began being serialized monthly in ''[[Comic Birz]]'' magazine. The series has also been adapted into several [[:Category:CDs|drama CDs]], [[:Category:Games|video games]], and [[Hetalia: Axis Powers (anime)|anime series]].

The series involves anthropomorphic representations of the world's nations, with the main storyline taking place in WWI and WWII, though the majority of the series is comprised of a series of one shot stories set in earlier and more modern eras. The series is named for the main character [[Italy]], with "Hetalia" being a portmanteau of the words ''hetare'' (useless) and ''Italia''.

In 2010, the published manga was licensed by [[Tokyopop]] in North America and the first two volumes were published in English. Two months before the third volume was scheduled to be released, the company ceased US publishing operations. Remnants of the company later formed a partnership with [[Right Stuf]] to publish the series on demand, and the third volume was published in 2012. The fourth and fifth volumes have also since been published in English through Right Stuf.

==Plot==
During WWI, [[Germany]], in search of the heir to the empire of [[Ancient Rome]], finds [[Italy]] hiding in a crate and takes him as a captive. After living with him to the start of WWII, Italy takes it upon himself to become Germany's ally. The two are soon joined by [[Japan]], though the three wind up having to deal with the arrival of the Allied Forces: [[America]], [[England]], [[France]], [[China]], and [[Russia]].

==Characters==
''Main article: [[List of Hetalia: Axis Powers characters]]''

The Hetalia series is notable for its large, colorful cast of characters. Each of the characters represents a nation, complete with the stereotypes attributed to it. The original webcomic initially focused on the nations of the Axis Powers vs. the Allied Forces, with the cast quickly expanding to include others.

Most of the earlier cast members have a "human name" in addition to their nation name, though they were never used in the actual series or profiles. They were first given to the characters by Himaruya when a fan requested alternate names to refer to the characters by, out of curisosity as to what their "normal" names would be. It is rumored that this question was asked due to Japanese fans' worries of controversy over pairing the characters with their nation names, but the true motive remains a source of debate.

Despite never being used in canon (aside from select characters' names getting brief mentions in the '''April Fools' 2008''' summary and America's name "Alfred" being mentioned in a throwaway line in one strip), the alternate human names stuck with the characters until early 2008, when Himaruya deleted his old update logs from the previous year. Characters created after 2007, later in that year, or that were not mentioned in the original name listing, do not have any sort of official human name to refer to them by and are only known by their nation names. It remains to be seen if Himaruya will ever do an updated version of the name list, although he seems open to the idea of suggestions and letting fans name certain characters as they please.

Himaruya also gave most of the characters "human ages", as a fan asked how old the characters were supposed to look, but this detail was mostly dropped as well. However, some later-personified nations (such as [[Iceland]]) do have an age listed for them in their character designs.

==Original Web Version==
''Main article: [[List of Hetalia: Axis Powers chapters (webcomic)]]''

The entire series so far includes five chapters of the main storyline, a bonus story (''Chibitalia''), and several side stories and "comic diary" strips by Himaruya. The main storyline takes place in the eras of WWI and WWII, with the Chibitalia storyline and some of the side-stories focusing on eras outside of that time.

===The "Lost" Strips===
''Main Article: [[Lost strips of Hetalia: Axis Powers]]''

There are also strips of the original webcomic that no longer exist on the main Kitayume site or any other place, outside of fans having saved the artwork while it was still up. However, a good deal of the artwork was not permanently deleted, but simply hidden in the site files.

One notable series of lost strips happen to be pages of a sequel to the fanservice-themed "Christmas Rampage 2007", which wound up salvaged and scanlated. In the sequel, a crossover with two other Himaruya-created series occurs as the nations continue to celebrate Christmas.

Other "lost" pieces of artwork include America cosplaying as England, concept art for the [[Gakuen Hetalia]] game, and France informing teenage Italy about the fate of the [[Holy Roman Empire]].

==Media==
===Gakuen Hetalia===
''Main articles: [[Gakuen Hetalia]], [[Gakuen Hetalia Portable (PSP)]], [[Gakuen Hetalia DS]]''

An unfinished dating sim project by Himaruya, it takes place in an alternate universe where the cast members are all in their teens and attend the multicultural ''World Academy W''. A short demo was released in January 2007 and Himaruya previewed some of the script on his site in 2008, but the game was never actually completed in its online form.

The game featured the first appearance of [[Seychelles]], as a new transfer student at the school. Italy, China, Japan, France, and England also appeared in the demo, while other characters appeared in concept images for the game (which were later removed from the site).

A commercial PSP version of the game is slated for release in late 2010. The commercial version has considerable differences in plot and characters from the original game, though Seychelles is still the player character.

===Published Manga===
''Main article: [[List of Hetalia: Axis Powers chapters (published manga)]]''

A print version of the manga by [[Gentosha Comics]] was released in 2008, and has been collected into two volumes so far. The published version differs somewhat from the original online strips, with several events being retold or redrawn for better quality. New strips exclusive to the volumes were also included. Some scenes have also been cut or edited from the originals for content (ie: Holy Roman Empire kissing Chibitalia in the "Chibitalia" arc).

The first volume was released on March 17th, 2008, with the second volume being released on December 10th, 2008. While only one version of the first volume was released, the second came in both a standard and a deluxe edition. The deluxe edition came with a special booklet containing various sketches of the characters, including preliminary designs for them, and was released on December 12th, 2008. A third volume was released on May 21st, 2010, during Japan's [[wikipedia:Golden Week|Golden Week]] holiday.

The published version of the manga uses a slightly different order for the title, instead referring to the series as '''Hetalia: Axis Powers''' (a change which carried over to the anime and some of the related merchandise).

====International Editions====
*The Polish-language release of the manga by [http://studiojg.pl/ Studio JG] retains the original ''APH'' order for the title. The first volume of the published manga was released on November 13th, 2009, second volume in late-May of 2010, and the third volume is expected to be released in the fall.
:This translation is notable for changing Poland's birthdate from '''July 22nd''' (the date of foundation of the communist [[wikipedia:People's Republic Of Poland|People's Republic Of Poland]] ) to '''November 11th''' (the date that Poland regained independence after WWI).

*Hungarian editions of volume 1 followed on May 22th, 2010, with the Czech editions in early-mid 2010

*Volume 1 of the English edition (via [[wikipedia:Tokyopop|Tokyopop]]) is set to release on September 28th, 2010.

*Licensed by [http://www.d-world.com.tw/d-books/ d/visual taipei], the first international releases of volumes 1 and 2 happened for China and Taiwan, though the Chinese edition of volume 2 is controversial for some changes to the text, such as giving China the birthday of '''October 1st''' (foundation of the People's Republic), while changing Taiwan's profile to describe her as a "part of China".

===Drama CDs===
There have been seven drama CDs released for the series so far:

*''[[Hetalia Drama CD: Prologue]]'', released as a Comic Market 74 exclusive on August 15th, 2008.
*''[[Hetalia Drama CD: Volume 1]]'', released on October 24th, 2008.
*''[[Hetalia Drama CD: Prologue 2]]'', released as a Comic Market 75 exclusive on December 29th, 2008.
*''[[Hetalia Drama CD: Volume 2]]'', released on June 3rd, 2009.
*''[[Hetalia Drama CD Interval Vol. 1: The CD Of The Awesome Me]]'', released as a Comic Market 76 exclusive on August 15th, 2009.
*''[[Hetalia Fantasia]]'', released on August 27th, 2009 (as a special mail-order gift to subscribers of ''Comic Birz'').
*''[[Hetalia Drama CD Interval Vol. 2: Boss CD]]'', released on July 7th, 2010(delayed).

The first two CDs feature the Axis Powers, [[Austria]], and the Allied Forces, with the absence of [[China]], who wasn't cast at the time. Instead, [[Lithuania]] is included in the main cast. China however, did make his debut in ''Prologue 2'' along with [[Hungary]].

''Volume 2'' featured the cast for the Axis and Allies, as well as the drama CD debuts of more characters: [[Sweden]], [[Finland]], [[Sealand]], [[Latvia]], [[Estonia]], [[Switzerland]], and [[Liechtenstein]].

''Interval'' featured the drama CD debuts of [[Prussia]] and [[Seychelles]], while ''Fantasia'' provided the speaking debut of [[Hong Kong]], who had not yet had a role in the actual series at the time.

====Axis Powers Hetalia: The CD====
''Main article: [[Axis Powers Hetalia: The CD]]''

An earlier, independently-produced drama CD is known to have been in existence, though details on it remain somewhat sketchy. It is said to have been produced sometime in 2007, during the same time as ''Gakuen Hetalia'', and was distributed in limited quantities the following year, by mail-order and at a doujinshi event in Osaka.

A select amount of characters made appearances on the CD, including:
*North Italy (Veneziano)
*Germany
*Japan
*America
*England
*France
*China
*Russia
*Austria
*Hungary
*Lithuania
*Switzerland
*Liechtenstein
*[[South Italy]] (Romano)
*[[Greece]]
*[[Turkey]]
*[[Sealand]]
*Ancient Rome

The CD also marked the debut of two new characters: [[Cyprus]] and his younger brother, the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]]. [[Germania]] is also mentioned for the first time in the CD, identified as "Germany's father". The seiyū for England and France, who did not reprise their roles in the commercial CD adaptations, had previously voiced the characters in ''Gakuen''.

===Anime===
''Main article: [[Hetalia: Axis Powers (anime)]]''

An anime adaptation of Axis Powers Hetalia (using the '''Hetalia: Axis Powers''' title)  was announced in July 2008, and premiered on January 24th, 2009 on Animate.TV. It was originally scheduled to air on Kids Station, but was pulled from the lineup due to "various circumstances". The first season ran 26 episodes.

On April 15th, 2009, it was announced that a second season of the ''Hetalia'' anime was in production, to be released in the summer. Season 2 also ran 26 episodes, and immediately began airing on Animate.TV following the completion of the previous season. A third season was announced on December 10th, 2009, and premiered in March 2010.

Though they had previously passed on licensing the series during the first season, [http://www.funimation.com/ FUNimation Entertainment] announced their acquisition of the ''Hetalia'' anime on January 8th, 2010. The dub takes considerable liberties with the script and is rated TV-MA.

====Theatrical Film====
''Main article: [[Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White]]''

On September 24th, 2009, a movie adaptation of the anime (entitled ''Paint it, White'') was announced on Gentosha Comics' site. It remains to be seen what the movie will cover, though it was stated that it would be an original story featuring the Axis and Allies, along with Sealand, [[Iceland]], [[Prussia]], and other characters. It is 70 minutes long and was released on June 5th, 2010.

Nyotalia

2013-12-06T04:58:34Z

HetaOtaku:

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

In 2014, an anime adaption of [[Volume 4#I Was Overwhelmed by Heroines|I Was Overwhelmed by Heroines]] will come on the [[Hetalia: The Beautiful World | Season 5]] extra disk.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
''CV: [[Ryoko Shintani]]''

The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
''CV: [[Yūko Kurose]]''

[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
''CV: [[Satsuki Yukino]]''

[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
''CV: [[Aoi Yūki]]''

[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
''CV: [[Mika Kanai]]''

[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
''CV: [[Kasumi Nakamura]]''

The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Macau===
The female version of [[Macau]] lacks her glasses and wears her hair in a long ponytail, with a playing card as a hair decoration. She wears a shangpao of an unspecified color, that has long sleeves (in contrast to Hong Kong's sleeveless look).

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
''CV: [[Rei Sakai]]''

The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

He has a lot of anime knowledge especially on Hetalia. He always tends to plan ahead but procrastinates when doing so. Also, he can be paranoid at times. His main hobby is sleeping and considers himself pretty good at it.
He is outgoing but because he's shy the other person has to start the conversation. HetaOtaku is a middle child with an older sister and little sister.

Mochi

2013-11-24T07:31:39Z

HetaOtaku: /* America */

[[File:Omochi.png|200px|thumb|The "Mochitalia" versions of the nations. At the top is America. From left to right: Canada, Italy, and England.]]
In the Hetalia universe, '''Mochi''' (also known as "Blobs") are strange, sentient creatures which somewhat resemble the nations in both appearance and sometimes personality.

They are apparently from the country they represent, as they speak their natives languages and can pop up their respective flags from their body. However, they can be found abroad and easily bought online.

Their anatomy (as they are basically Japanese pastry) is very simple. Most are white and round, as well as being very soft, flexible, and expandable. Each one has different signature abilities. Eating one will result in it taking over you.

The mochi do not appear in the linear story of Hetalia. They instead have their own spin-off series of strips (similar to ''Nekotalia'') called ''Omochi'' and ''Otayuke'', [[Estonia]] being the only nation featured (as he owns some of them). They have also appeared in some events, but they are mainly mascots for the Kitayume site.

==Known Mochis==
===America===
Mochi!America is the main mochi and the first one to appear. He has brilliant blue eyes and lines resembling glasses under them. Fans often depicts him with an ahoge, but in the blog he is never shown with one. He is described as crazy (maybe a reference to [[America]]'s hyperactivity, but the mochi is clearly much more demented), but with no malice. Like his nation self, he has an enormous love for strong tastes, and if neglected, he'll grow to become obese. He is also prone to insult with profane words. He suddenly appeared in Estonia's house one day, and Estonia started raising him. He seems to be competitive and annoying towards other mochi, as he considers Mochi!Italy a "pig", Mochi!Canada "hairy" and Mochi!England "gay". His level of insanity goes to the extent to believe that a lettuce can talk, that it is his father, and that together they will destroy the world. But in the end, the lettuce was eaten by Mochi!Canada, much to Mochi!America's horror.

According to Himaruya, He's extremely peculiar and he always responds with "It's Okey, I'm an American" to everything, even while doing very dangerous things. He often troubles with the police.

When Latvia met him, he found him cute, something Estonia said was rare. When he tried to pet him, Mochi!America fled, apparently having stranger anxiety.

He has the ability to grow anything he desires from his body, such as hands, legs, wings, and robotic arms, and can also produce American flags from his body. He can also shapeshift, shown when he changed size and grew four legs so that Estonia could ride on him.

He loves sweets and can be tamed and befriended by giving them to him. He's also easily befriended through use of other foods, though the only given example was steak. When being given donuts, a stick was used, so it's possible he's rather harmful when eating.

He has also shown the ability to evolve into a angelic, big-eyed, winged form that seems to speak politely but is actually hostile. In this form, he can travel to the Mochi World, and move others(mochi and otherwise) back and forth through it.

He is the third hardest Mochi.

This particular mochi is a main mascot in the Kitayume site and the Bamboo Thicket blog.

===Belarus===
According to Himaruya, she is a mochi who has pieces of meat stuck to her's.

===Cameroon===
Mochi!Cameroon is a mochi who loves football, but hates the football ball.

===Canada===
Mochi!Canada is the third mochi owned by Estonia and, like Mochi!Italy, was bought online (he was even cheaper: $1.50). He is plump with big blue eyes with glasses lines under them and Canada's ahoge. He also carries a bag in the shape of a polar bear head with him. Like his counterpart, he is shy, but hysteric. It's said that he disappears easily, causing Estonia not to want to take him to America's party. When it was mentioned he looked like Mochi!America, he freaked out confirming his nationality and then cried. He has a fondness for pancakes with maple syrup. He is also sometimes forgotten about by Mochi!America. He is the second softest mochi, second only to Mochi!Italy. Himaruya said that, someday, he'll save the world.

===England===
Mochi!England is a mochi brought to Estonia by his owner, an old English gentleman, to meet his fellow mochi. He is a snobby, spoiled, and "tsundere" blob. He has England's thick eyebrows and a small top hat. While Estonia found him extremely clean, his owner claims he was a hooligan. He is constantly annoyed and mocked by Mochi!America in many different ways. He's the fifth softest of the mochi.

===France===
Mochi!France appears to have facial appearance of his counterpart and loves for beauty.

===Italy===
Mochi!Italy is the second mochi to appear. He has squinty eyes with a "ω" shaped mouth and an Italian ahoge. Estonia bought him online for $2 so Mochi!America would not be lonely. Probably the softest, he is slow-moving, easygoing and friendly, and more exquisite with food. Like his counterpart, he is quite cowardly and usually hangs around with Mochi!Germany; he also seems to have talent for prestidigitation.

When Estonia was going to America's Halloween party, he considered taking him, however he was concerned that he would get squished.

===Japan===
Mochi!Japan is, instead of a regular mochi, a Sakuramochi. He is pinkish in colour with a Sakura pattern in his side and has dull black eyes. He also carries a katana around him. He is described as quiet, modest, traditional, mysterious, and able to read the situation. He often brings different sweets with him. He is a bit self-denigrating and has no head for pushy attitudes. He has not appeared in the comics so far, but he has been shown in a blog post, apparently showing a cannibalistic appetite towards Mochi!America (since mochi are Japanese food, and being Japanese himself, he finds them edible). After Canadamochi, he is the softest, making him the third softest mochi.

===Germany===
Instead of being soft and round like a regular mochi, Mochi!Germany is hard(the hardest of all of them) and prismal (this can be a reference to Germany's physical and emotional sturdiness). He seems to be very solid and heavy, as Estonia was concerned he would break his leg. Because of his shape, there's nowhere to grab onto him, so he's difficult to pick up and impossible to stretch, unlike the other mochi. Like his counterpart, he is intimidating, stern, and somewhat shy. He considers his only friend, Mochi!Italy, quite annoying, though he's surprised by his softness. However, in a blog post, Himaruya admitted that he would lose a fight with him just for the sake of allowing him to win, as it's impossible for him to win otherwise. He can only move in a straight line and at a uniform speed.

===Liechtenstein===
Mochi!Liechtenstein lives in the Mochi World. She is a small mochi with big eyes and a ribbon on her side. She has the ability to create stamps out of nothing. Estonia found her cute and wanted to take her home, but he was stopped by her brother, Mochi!Switzerland. Himaruya thought that she was cute.

===Switzerland===
Mochi!Switzerland lives in the Mochi World with his sister, Mochi!Liechtenstein. When Estonia wanted to take Mochi!Liechtenstein, he stared at him, defending his sister.

===Spain===
In the Mochi World, Estonia found him asking for a tomato. As Estonia had one in his pocket, he gave it to Mochi!Spain and Mochi!Spain was very happy. His design is simple, just squinty eyes with a smiley mouth. He usually has a tomato on his side and will get very angry if it is removed. When Estonia decided to take him, King of Ricecake Mochi!America thought it was better for him to take Mochi!Estonia instead. When Estonia started to cry for being compared with the mochi, Mochi!Spain cheered him up, which led Estonia into keeping him. Because of this, King Of Ricecake!Mochimerica beat Mochi Spain up. He doesn't appear to get along with Mochi!America very often. He can get rather angry, if saying "Si, esta bien" but forgets about it as soon as he's slept. Giving him alcohol is apparently dangerous.

===Estonia===
Mochi!Estonia lives in the Mochi World. When encountered, Estonia—despite being told so by Mochi!America—couldn't believe that they were very similar. The American mochi also wanted him to keep his mochi counterpart, but Estonia refused. Mochi!Estonia has small glasses without visible eyes and a tiny laptop-like object. He's said to make even more money than whoever owns him and to be a real go-getter. He can manage to get magically quickly out of the financial crisis.

===Russia===
Mochi!Russia is a cold mochi who lives in Moscow. He has squinty eyes and a prominent nose, and he also wears a scarf. He seems to share Russia's trait of innocently enjoying torturing others, as he does with Mochi!America; moreover, he is rancorous. However, he seems to have a friendly side. He supposedly loves Mochi America so much that could tear him apart. After torturing him, he flung a heart at him which seemed to brainwash him into loving him, which made him very happy. He's the second hardest Mochi.

===China===
Mochi!China appears to be pixelated, because of his appearance, it would anger the American companies. He was hidden by mosaic when he gets out. When his companion is older, he sponges on him, but if he's younger, maybe he'll treat him. He can sell wonderous stuff.

*In a design sheet posted on [[Kitayume]] of the Africa Class, the character in the middle resembles the chibi head of Zimbabwe seen in the demo game of Gakuen Hetalia. Some theorized that the sketch was, in fact, an official sketch of her along with two other African nations. However, it was later stated that the people in the sketches merely acted as models for the uniform designs.
*Though Zimbabwe has yet to appear in the manga, a club called Extreme Zimbabwe exists in ''Gakuen Hetalia'' and is featured on a blackboard in the ''Carry On, Newspaper Club!'' strip.

Nyotalia

2013-11-04T00:40:33Z

HetaOtaku: /* Canada */

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
''CV: [[Ryoko Shintani]]''

The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
''CV: [[Yūko Kurose]]''

[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
''CV: [[Satsuki Yukino]]''

[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
''CV: [[Aoi Yūki]]''

[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
''CV: [[Mika Kanai]]''

[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
''CV: [[Kasumi Nakamura]]''

The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Macau===
The female version of [[Macau]] lacks her glasses and wears her hair in a long ponytail, with a playing card as a hair decoration. She wears a shangpao of an unspecified color, that has long sleeves (in contrast to Hong Kong's sleeveless look).

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
''CV: [[Rei Sakai]]''

The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

Nyotalia

2013-11-04T00:39:39Z

HetaOtaku: /* Canada */

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
''CV: [[Ryoko Shintani]]''

The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
''CV: [[Yūko Kurose]]''

[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
''CV: [[Satsuki Yukino]]''

[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
''CV: [[Aoi Yūki]]''

[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
''CV: [[Mika Kanai]]''

[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
''CV: [Kasumi Nakamura]''

The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Macau===
The female version of [[Macau]] lacks her glasses and wears her hair in a long ponytail, with a playing card as a hair decoration. She wears a shangpao of an unspecified color, that has long sleeves (in contrast to Hong Kong's sleeveless look).

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
''CV: [[Rei Sakai]]''

The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

The fifth volume of ''Hetalia: Axis Powers'' was released in Japan by the publisher Gentosha. It contains several strips from the original webcomic series and the serialization in ''[[Comic Birz]]'', as well as new material.

==Chapters==
A joke is included in front of the book about the reactions of different people to the captains words when the luxury liner they are on begins to sink, and how they are convinced to jump overboard.

===Hetalia of the Dead===
France and America watch an American horror film, and France complains that the protagonists in America's horror films are always too strong. As more nations arrive with some of their horror films in tow, America reveals that he thought it would be fun to compare them. Italian horror movies are generally full of girls... and guts and entrails. China tries to play his movie, but it is a [[wikipedia:VCD|VCD]] and doesn't work in the machine, and his films are described as having a touch of comedy in them. Japanese horror films are described as dark and terrifying, but Japan admits that his monsters are dainty. Finland brings a film involving naked Santas, and England stops Spain from playing his film. England plays a movie he borrowed from India, which degenerates into a Bollywood dance sequence. Canada's films pay lots of attention to the science and setting only to throw it all away later, and England blames his tendency to kill off the protagonist on Germany, whose films tend to not be scary. They watch a particularly frightening movie before Russia admits that he put in a home movie by mistake. In the end they watch an American film, realizing in the end that everyone's films are weird.

===African War Front! Part 1===
A series of strips detailing some of Italy's relationship with Germany and England during World War II. Germany ponders the difficulties in being Italy's ally as he watches one of Italy's [[wikipedia:L3/35|L3]] tankettes break down. He finds himself acting as a babysitter of sorts, and fruitlessly attempts to consult a book written by his ancestors for advice. In Africa, England is gaining ground against Italy, and chases him when he appears at his camp dressed in an Elephant costume, but England is unable to match his speed. After getting away, Italy calls Germany, who shows up only to collapse from the heat due to his thick uniform.

===African War Front! Part 2===
England begins to calmly revels in his triumph over Italy before he is interrupted by the arrival of America. They immediately begin arguing over approach in strategy, leading to a soldier to remark how they don't look very much like siblings. After England's resulting outburst, America decides to go and greet everyone, and apparently become despondent when he receives a cold reception. England initially finds this funny, but then tries to comfort America, only to discover that he is fine and roasting a marshmallow. As America's antics increase, England becomes more stressed out and eventually wakes up, believing the preceding events to be a dream right before America calls for him.

===It’s the First Anniversary! The Tripartite Pact===
Germany and Italy go to Japan's house for a meeting, and Germany repeatedly tells Italy to calm down after the later becomes very excited. Japan greets them, and launches into a long, formal acknowledgement of the one year anniversary of the [[Wikipedia:Tripartite Pact|Tripartite Pact]], and Italy tells him to talk to them like friends. After a short story where Italy talks about his impression of Japan, the two of them end up at a hot spring, where they talk about the significance of it in both of their cultures. Italy talks about his Samurai spirit, and ends up putting on a Samurai style ammunition vest used by the Italian army, confusing Germany when he arrives. Later, as they toast to their continued alliance, Italy remarks on how young Japan looks.

===Let's Eat Military Rations!===
The Axis Powers sit together and eat military rations. Germany asks Japan about his food, which the later states is actually very good. Italy remarks that he has something similar, but laments that it tastes bad. Later, Japan offers Germany [[Wikipedia:Hardtack|some biscuits]] that he made based on what Germany taught him. Italy asks to try some, and when Japan admits that it may taste rather plan, Italy decides to add some [[Wikipedia:Vegemite|Vegemite]] that Australia left behind. Germany is alarmed at first but the trio end up enjoying it. As Food on the battlefield was problematic for both the Axis and the Allies, America and England sample parties to try and figure out what would be ideal. After a series of failures, America proposes they try a one hundred year old [[Wikipedia:Fruit cake|Fruit cake]], which ends up tasting surprisingly good. On the Battlefield, America eats a large portion of rations while England eats a modest amount, leading to an argument. Later, while England enjoyed his tea time he was surrounded by the British Army.

===Liberté, égalité, fraternité and...===
France addresses the reader, explaining that they must have been exhausted waiting for him to show up and begins to praise himself while simultaneously insulting England. England jumps in frame and kicks him, telling him not to insult him in his own house. Elsewhere, after being defeated by Germany once more, France vows to beat him next time. Sometime after, he is informed that Germany is getting closer to their border. Panicking, France proposes peace and establishes the [[wikipedia:Maginot Line|Maginot Line]], though it doesn't extend through a nearby forest, giving Germany a way through. At a meeting of the Allies, France interrupts England to announce that he's defeated Italy before declaring the end of his working hours and falling asleep. France and England continue to fight in the meeting, and America offers to moderate between them and choose whose opinion is correct.

===Which Country is That?===
===Together with Russia===
===A Wise Man has No Specialty===
===Soldiers for a Short While===
===I, Like, Wanna be Free!===
===Gakuen Hetalia: Go Forth! Newspaper Club!! Second Half===
The continuation of the first part back in Volume 4. Germany, Italy (Veneziano), and Japan continue researching the clubs in the school. Veneziano mentions having a merenda (Italian Snack Time) but Germany disagrees. They meet up with the Nordic Club which consists of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Denmark mentions that the club creates furniture designs, but then lies when he says that the furniture turns into a robot, until Sweden chokeholds him for his nuisance. They then meet the Going Home After School club which consists of ONLY Switzerland. Next is the Canada club which consists of Canada and he talks about the club which is mostly about appreciating Canada. Then theres the Elephant Apprecitation club, then the Going Home After School Club #2 (which Romano created but regerets). Then the Swimming club in which Germany though was the ONLY serious club so far. until Australia came in to get Japan into a 10 kilometer swim. The Music club consists of Prussia and Austria. But Prussia is seen pretending to play guitar with a broom. Austria despises that then Germany mentions that he'll talk with Prussia later. The We-Want-to-Join-W-Academy club is pretty obvious. Germany then admits that the school is entirely weird. Japan then notices a certain room as they walk and mentions that 27 clubs in total made the room their club room. Arriving in the room, Germany and Japan notice the room is empty until Veneziano scampers to the table and says aloud proudly that he is president of all those 27 clubs. Germany then gets mad at Veneziano accusing him of all the "weird" clubs in the school. A footnote then reads, "After that, the school newspaper put together it's next issue and published it without further incident."

===Gakuen Hetalia: Go Forth! Newspaper Club!!===
In a story taking place in the ''Gakuen Hetalia'' universe, Germany, Italy, and Japan decide to write a newspaper story about the different clubs.

America shows up and begins talking about his "Hero Club" before getting dragged off by Russia. The Gourmet Food-Loving Club shows up and explains their purpose, while Italy reveals that they wouldn't let him join. Finally, England shows up to brag about the magic club, but Romania reveals that they partake in activities such as dressing up like Harry Potter and praying for an abundant harvest. Fed up, Germany thinks about canceling the article, declaring all the school's clubs to be too abnormal. This was adapted in the anime episode [[Gakuen Hetalia: Go Forth! Newspaper Club!!

Finally, in a flashback to World War I, Germany finds some guns Italy dropped after a big battle and examines them, finding a manual that explains how they work. Initially fascinated, Germany becomes increasingly distressed as how poorly made the gun is becomes more apparent, and declares that whether Italy is an ally or an enemy, you have to worry about him.

Later, Netherlands sells Spain weapons even though he is at war with him, and in both instances Belgium watches from the distance asking him not to be mean. In the present day, Belgium excitedly tells Romano that Netherlands promised to bring Santa Claus, but instead she shows up with Spain in a Santa suit, as the Santa for Netherlands and Belgium comes from Spain.

===Things that Often Happen When Rooming with an American===
A series of strips illustrating the cultural differences when a Japanese person rooms with an American, with the Japan and America characters used as stand-ins. On the day Japan moves in, America announces he's made dinner and unceremoniously puts a meat pack on the table. As their new, everyday lives begin, America points out that a lot of stuff in the Japanese news doesn't seem like actual news, and Japan's odd manner of dressing becomes more apparent. At the same time, America tends to tackle every mess, big or small, with the vacuum cleaner, and America's dancing is shown to be rather intense. At the end of the month, America notes that the water bill has gone up due to Japan's baths, though is enticed by the concept of bathing instead of showering and wonders if they should bathe together to cut costs.

===I Was Overwhelmed by Heroines===
Estonia falls asleep at the World Meeting, and upon awaking discovers that all the nations have turned into women (their [[Nyotalia]] counterparts). Upon freaking out at witnessing the interactions of America, England, and Japan, Italy comforts Estonia. Estonia is taken aback by Italy's brazenness and confidence not found in her male counterpart, and she tells Russia to be nicer. After China crawls on top of him and offers him medicine, the "suspicious God who tried to instigate Hungary that one time" appears and tells Estonia that he had granted his wish. As Estonia proclaims that this isn't what he wants, he wakes up to the normal Russia looming over him at the meeting.

===Hetalia-like Food Column===
Scattered throughout the book are one-page omake illustrations called ''Hetalia-like Food Column''. Each page contains the story of an item of food, a method of cooking, or a food-related event that's made a notable impact on a country, continent, and/or culture. Common threads include cultural trends throughout Europe, the entrance into American fast food, and the origin of several ingredients and methods from China.

===May be Useful Tomorrow "Heta Wisdom Foretelling"===
Scattered throughout the book are one-page omake illustrations called ''May be Useful Tomorrow "Heta Wisdom Foretelling"''. Each page contains a piece of random trivia (labeled "useless" information) with the characters from Hetalia in a normally one-panel illustration.

At the end of the book, there is a strip showcasing Himaruya's travels and work in 2010, including a trip he took to Taiwan.

The standard edition of the book came with a comic insert entitled '''Thank You for Purchasing Volume 4!'''. The strip shows the Nordics lining up for a photo commemorating the release of Volume 4, but to Norway's annoyance they discover that Denmark is missing. It turns out he is off trying to become closer friends with Germany, and Norway proposes that they use a drawing attached to a stick in his place.

Nyotalia

2013-10-31T14:37:08Z

HetaOtaku: /* Prussia */

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
''CV: [[Ryoko Shintani]]''

The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
''CV: [[Yūko Kurose]]''

[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
''CV: [[Satsuki Yukino]]''

[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
''CV: [[Aoi Yūki]]''

[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
''CV: [[Mika Kanai]]''

[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
''CV: [[]Kasumi Nakamura]''

The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
''CV: [[Rei Sakai]]''

The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

Nyotalia

2013-10-31T14:35:41Z

HetaOtaku: /* Canada */

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
''CV: [[Ryoko Shintani]]''

The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
''CV: [[Yūko Kurose]]''

[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
''CV: [[Satsuki Yukino]]''

[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
''CV: [[Aoi Yūki]]''

[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
''CV: [[Mika Kanai]]''

[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
''CV: [[]Kasumi Nakamura]''

The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

Nyotalia

2013-10-31T14:34:42Z

HetaOtaku: /* The Allies */

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
''CV: [[Ryoko Shintani]]''

The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
''CV: [[Yūko Kurose]]''

[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
''CV: [[Satsuki Yukino]]''

[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
''CV: [[Aoi Yūki]]''

[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
''CV: [[Mika Kanai]]''

[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

Nyotalia

2013-10-31T14:27:15Z

HetaOtaku: /* The Axis */

[[File:Genderbentgroup.jpg‎|thumb|300px|right|The "Nyotalia" versions of the nations. From left to right: Hungary, China, France, South Italy, North Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, UK, and America.]]
'''Nyotalia''' refers to the genderbent versions of the canon Hetalia characters. Nyotalia is a fandom-made term, started by the Japanese fandom, from the words ''nyotaika'' (which refers to male-to-female genderbends) and ''Italia'' (or, rather, ''Hetalia''). Fanmade versions of other characters can often be seen in the tag along with the "canon" ones. In some instances, they are depicted as the characters actually genderbent, though the intention is for them to be completely different incarnations.

It has become common to depict characters as the opposite gender in either fanart or fanfiction (for example, [[Germany]] as a female or [[Hungary]] as a male). In addition, designs of the opposite gender exist for certain characters, as [[Hidekaz Himaruya]] drew them for fun to see what the nations would be like. However, Himaruya also noted that when drawing the characters, he came up with their designs as if they were completely different people (if they were designed as females to begin with). This is presumably why some of them lack certain distinguishing details that their original versions had.

So far, the characters drawn by Himaruya include the Axis, Allies, [[Austria]], [[Belarus]], [[Belgium]], [[Canada]], [[Hungary]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Monaco]], [[Prussia]], [[Seychelles]], [[South Italy]], [[South Korea]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Taiwan]], [[Ukraine]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Wy]].

Himaruya first drew the initial Axis and Allies designs in 2006, and briefly revisited the concept in 2008 with a few more characters. The characters would get redesigned and re-introduced in 2010 and 2011, along with a cameo in the fourth manga volume, featuring the standard Estonia having fallen asleep during a meeting and having a dream where "God" supposedly grated a wish for him, putting him into his own wild fantasy, where everyone else in the meeting had suddenly become girls while he fell asleep, though Estonia denied wanting such a thing.

Although the Japanese fandom have given the characters names and used the surnames from their opposite gender, others are apt to come up with completely new names themselves, both given names and family names. Himaruya has listed some names that he liked for several Nyotalia characters, however in a post following that one, he'd stated that they were unofficial and that fans should feel free to chose whichever names they preferred for the Nyotalia characters.

Design sketches for [[Egypt]], [[Turkey]], [[Greece]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]], [[Finland]], and [[Denmark]] were released in the Volume 4 omake, however it's unclear if they're scrapped or merely unfinished.

==The Axis==
[[File:FemaleAxis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|The Axis as females as of 2010.]]
In the Japanese fandom, the female versions of the Axis Powers are often referred to as ''Nyojiku'' (from combining ''nyotaika'' with ''suujiku'', the Japanese word for the Axis).

===Italy===
''CV: [[Rena Maeda]]''

[[File:Onn3.png‎|right|thumb|170px|Female North Italy displaying great strength when angered much to the shock of her male counterpart.]]
[[Italy|North Italy]]'s female counterpart has her hair tied back into a ponytail, and has a wild curl of hair dangling down at the side of her head. In one sketch, she wears a more feminine version of a military uniform, with a double-breasted jacket and mini skirt. But in a later sketch, she wears a short-sleeved khaki shirt and skirt, with a black tie. Her eyes are depicted in a more amber color than her male counterpart's. Her hair is also curlier and a lighter shade of brown. Estonia commented that she "looks badass" as opposed to the rather weak appearance of her male counterpart. Himaruya' described her as being strong, not ''hetare'' like her counterpart,<ref name="1gatu"/> and a rather emotional, strong-willed, and cheerful big sister-type who "lives for love".<ref name="nyosonas">{{cite web|title=俺とお前と水戸光圀|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-88.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 6, 2008|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=You and Me and Tokugawa Mitsukuni}}</ref> Contrary to the male Italy, it appears that she can display an unusual bout of physical strength when angered as seen in the right. In a later note it is mentioned how her personality is different from her male counterpart. In an illustration of her arguing and switching punches with female England, it is shown that she is the braver one and more willing to fight. She seems to be rougher around the edges or accident-prone, if the bandage on her knee is any indication. In a blog post, Himaruya had mentioned that he liked the name '''Alice''' for female Italy, commonly pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che" in Italy, from a list of names he was sent for some of the Nyotalia characters.

'''Itako''' is a nickname for the female version of Italy, derive from ''Itaria'' and the suffix "-ko". Though fans in the Western fandom tend to use the names '''Felicia''' or '''Felice''' for her, the Japanese fandom has given her the name '''Daisy Vargas'''. This name had fallen out of use shortly after Himaruya brought up the suggested name '''Alice'''. Alternatively, in a straighter "genderbend" take, '''Daisy''' is sometimes used as her middle name, with '''Feliciana''' being the first name.

In their appearance in Volume 4, she'd commented that there was nothing wrong with falling asleep, even during a meeting, and that it was a quite natural thing to do, before flustering Estonia by suggesting that they go out to eat and "sleep properly" once the meeting was through.

===Germany===
''CV: [[ Rika Zaiki]]''

The female version of [[Germany]] does not wear her hair slicked back. In a group sketch, she is shown to wear only a tank top and pants when training, much like the male Germany. Two other sketches depict her wearing uniforms similar to her male counterpart. Each illustration depicts her with a worried or exasperated expression. In his notes, Himaruya described her as being reserved, serious like her male counterpart, and as having large breasts.<ref name="nyosonas"/> He also said that she's tall and gives off a cool feeling.<ref name="1gatu"/> In a sketch, Germany was shown to be scolding a bruised male Italy for rashly getting himself into difficult situations. Himaruya had once received a list of name suggestions for some of the Nyotalia characters, mentioning that he had liked the name '''Monica''', the German variant being '''Monika''', for Germany.

'''Doiko/Dokuko''' are two names that are used to refer to the female version of Germany by, that derive from ''Doitsu'' and the suffix "-ko". The latter is a pun on the kanji for Germany (doku) as well as a pun on the term ''bokuko'' (a girl that speaks and acts like a boy). She is also referred to as '''Nyoitsu''', most notably on her Pixiv tag. In both Japanese and Western fandom, fans often use '''Louise''', or '''Luise''', as her human name.

===Japan===
''CV: [[Mai Goto]]

[[Japan]] is depicted as a short girl with a bob hairstyle, and has shine to her eyes unlike her male counterpart (her eyes are also more amber in color). In Himaruya's notes, she is stated to be a ''[[wikipedia:Yamato_nadeshiko|Yamato Nadeshiko]]''-type character who yearns for the West a bit.<ref name="nyosonas"/> Her fanon name has been given as '''Honda Sakura''' (or "Sakura Honda" in English-speaking order). When Himaruya noted that the names he was personally fond of(in female Japan's case, her common, fanon one) were not official, he mentioned that if he had chosen an official name for Japan, she "would for sure end up with a name like '''Ponko''' or '''Mameko'''". She is usually not depicted in any sort of military uniform, but rather in a simple kimono or other civilian clothes (such as a school uniform or one for gardening). She seems to always have a shy expression, befitting of one with a Yamato personality.

According to Himaruya, Japan used to have much longer hair in the past. She cut it to its current length after opening up her borders in order to prove she would be able to get along with the rest of the world.

'''Nichiko''' and '''Nihoko''' are two names used by some of the Japanese fandom for the female Japan, from ''Nihon'' (or the kanji ''nichi'') and the suffix "-ko".

==The Allies==
[[File:FemaleAllies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Nyotalia Allies as of 2010.]]

===America===
The female version of [[America]] does not have glasses or a "Nantucket" hair. She often dresses in short skirts or shorts and wears tops which expose her midriff. In her initial design, she also wore a cowboy hat and boots and had an American flag patch on her top, though some fans mistook it for a tattoo on her chest. Her later design depicts her in a bomber jacket like the male America, though she seems to be fond of hot dogs instead of hamburgers. Her weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat. She has blue eyes and wavy, amber-colored hair that comes to her shoulders, with two star-shaped barrettes holding her bangs out of her face. The name used to refer to her in the Japanese fandom is '''Emily Jones'''. English-speaking fans however, will often opt to use '''Amelia''' or a similar name.

'''Ameriko''' is a nickname used for the female version of America, deriving from ''Amerika'' and the suffix "-ko". The "A" is sometimes left out, leaving her as '''Meriko''' (or '''Merika'''), or the name shortened to '''Rika''' or '''Meri'''. She can also be referred to as '''Nyomerika''' (from combining ''nyotai'' with ''America'').

It's shown in Volume 4 that she seems to be the type to solve problems through violence, as England had to tell her not to strike Estonia with her bat for falling asleep during the meeting.

===England===
[[England]], unlike canon England, has glasses. She no longer has the signature thick eyebrows, though Himaruya mentioned missing them, and wears her hair in long pigtails that are either slightly curled or completely straight. In two colored pictures of her, her hair appears to be the same color as her male counterpart's original hair color. Her eyes are green. This version of the character is called '''Igiko''' (''girl England/UK'') by Himaruya and Japanese fans alike. Himaruya describes her as trying to behave elegantly, but being quite punk.<ref name="nyosonas"/> In an old post, Himaruya commented that being ''kuudere'' and that being the type to say embarrassing things smoothly might be nice for a female England.<ref name="1gatu">{{cite web|title=January|archiveurl=http://megalodon.jp/2007-1104-2215-41/www.geocities.co.jp/himaruya/1gatu.htm|archivedate=November 4, 2007|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=January 2007|accessdate=December 11, 2012}}</ref> She is often depicted in a British schoolgirl uniform or the uniform of the female nurses of the NHS. In a blog post, Himaruya said a fan had suggested for her name to be '''Rosa''', however a more English variant would be '''Rose'''. In a following post, he received a response from a fan in regards to the popular fanname for her, '''Alice''', which he said was cute, and also commented that '''Lisa''' was the name of a British friend he had, and that it would have also made a good name.

'''Igiko''' is the nickname used by Himaruya for his female design of England, that has become popular for fans to refer to her by as well. Translated, it means "Girl England/UK". She is also occasionally referred to with the names '''Eiko''' (from ''Eikoku'', a Japanese term for the UK) or '''Nyoigi''' (''nyotaika'' and ''Igirisu'' combined). Igiko was given the human name '''Alice Kirkland''' by the Japanese fandom, though English fanworks sometimes refer to her as '''Elizabeth''' or '''Victoria'''.

===France===
[[France]]'s female counterpart is an elegantly-dressed woman with her hair tied back into a french knot, usually held back by a crown or something similar. She usually wears the upper part of a double-breasted military uniform with a matching black tie and gloves, she also wears a dark purple cape or cloak either shown as long or short; the lower part is a light purple or violet skirt, it has been shown that she wears black or dark-colored stockings with knee-high boots. She is sometimes shown holding a bottle of wine, or a single red rose as an alternative. Her hair is dark brown (or alternatively a dirty blonde) and her eyes are violet. A snobby woman,<ref name="nyosonas"/> she is said to be more protective of Canada or his female version, as he used to be her former charge. And she is also much more argumentative than her male counterpart.

The fanon human name given to her is '''Françoise Bonnefoy'''. Some fans often choose '''Marianne''' or '''Francine''' as an alternative name for her as well. '''Frani''' or '''Franny''' are other nicknames that can be used. She is sometimes called ''Franiko'', but not often.

===Russia===
[[Russia]] is a modestly-dressed woman with long beige-blonde hair. Her first seen picture gave her soft blue eyes while her second appearance gave her lilac colored eyes. Himaruya has described her personality as akin to a wearied mother figure who is emotionally unstable rather than childishly cruel. Her fanon human name is '''Anya Braginskaya'''. Anya is a Russian diminutive of Anna. In a blog post, Himaruya said he liked Russia's fanon name. The first color sketch featuring her depicted her in a blue dress, while a "chibi" picture of her shows her to wear a long pink winter coat. Instead of a lead pipe, she is seen with a large shovel and ''matryoshka'' dolls.

'''Kolko''' is a nickname for the female version of [[Ivan Braginski|Russia]], derived from the suffix "-ko" and "Kol" (from Russia's chant '''[[Memes in fandom#KolKolKol, Yonda~?, and Da?|Kolkolkol]]''', in reference to the ''kolkhoz''). She is also sometimes referred to as '''Roshiko''', deriving from ''Roshia'' and the suffix "-ko".

In their appearance in Volume 4, Italy referred to her as the origin of all suffering, and demanded that she be nicer to Estonia, which prompted her to say that she'd spread honey on and rolled him around outside a little bit.

A female version of General Winter was also drawn, carrying with her a young child, and dressed in what seemed to be a hooded cloak.

===China===
[[China]] usually wears some form of qipao dress and has her hair, now a deep auburn, tied up in a set of buns. Himaruya stated that he doesn'tknow what she's thinking well.<ref name="nyosonas"/> It is said that she is a type of girl whose emotions cannot be read easily, but is most often depicted with a very similar personality as her male counterpart. In her appearance in Volume 4, she attempted to sell Estonia a medicine, saying that if he bought it they would both be happy, after seeming to climb atop the back of his chair. In her first appearance, her dress had short sleeves, but it was changed to a long-sleeved uniform by the time she appeared in another illustration. Rather than the wok and ladle her male counterpart uses, China is often shown holding a large square kitchen knife or meat buns. Her fanon human name is given as '''Wang Chun-Yan''' (''Chun-Yan Wang'' in Western order). In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that he liked her fanon name.

'''Nene''' is a nickname used for the female China, from ''nee-chan'' (older sister) and a reverse of a nickname used for her male counterpart (''Nini'', from ''nii-chan'', older brother).

==Other Characters==
===Austria===
The female version of [[Austria]] looks similar to her male counterpart though she lacks glasses while her mole is on the opposite side of her mouth. She wears a more feminine version of the uniform worn during the War of Austrian Succession and wears a piece of jewellery that holds back part of her hair. '''Nyosutoria''', from ''nyotaika/nyotalia'' and ''Osutoria'' (Austria), is a nickname used for fanon female versions of Austria. '''Anneliese''' is also another nickname used but within the Western fandom. Her fanon name is usually '''Sophie''' or '''Sophia'''. According to Himaruya's notes, she is a great cook, taking recipes from people and making her own "Austrian" version. He also connected her to the Austrian opera "Der Rosenkavalier" or the Rose Knight. The main female character in the opera is Marchallin, a wise older woman princess who is getting on her years and has to let go of her younger lover. She also wants female Germany to call her "Onee-chan"(big sis), but Germany didn't like the idea, as "doing so would cause various issues." The issues involved were not stated.<ref name="nyopruaus">http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1118.html</ref>

===Belarus===
The male version of [[Belarus]] wears a long coat with dark fur trim and has chin-length hair with an ahoge and eyes similar to [[Netherlands]]. Fans often refer him as '''Nikolai Arlofsky''' or '''Vladislav Arlovsky'''.

===Belgium===
[[Belgium]] has short, flipped-out hair, a cat-like mouth like his female counterpart and seems to wear a similar uniform.

===Canada===
The female version of [[Canada]] is a young girl with long, slightly curled pigtails. She appears to wear a hooded overcoat with maple leaves printed on the sides, with a jacket similar to France's female counterpart and a matching skirt worn underneath it and a beret on her head. Her eyes are violet, seemingly taking after female France. She wears glasses similar to her male counterpart, and has a polar bear named '''Kumarie''' (クマリー Kumarii), who is said to be scarier than Kumajirou. She's said to be quite mild-mannered.<ref name="usukcan">{{cite web|title=piyo piyo|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1166.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=May 25, 2011|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=tweet tweet}}</ref> Himaruya had mentioned in his blog that he had liked the name '''Marguerite''' for female Canada, with her nickname being '''Meg''' for short.

'''Canako''' is a nickname used for the female version of Canada, deriving from ''Canada'' and the suffix "-ko". Some people have also referred to her as '''Maddie,''' or '''Madeline''' (partly as a reference to the book ''Madeline'', which takes place in France, or as a homophone of the male counterpart's "Mattie" derived from "Matthew"). She can also be referred to as '''Nyonada''', from combining ''nyotai'' with ''Canada''.

===Hungary===
[[Hungary]]'s male counterpart keeps his hair tied back into a short ponytail. His fanname in the Japanese fandom is '''Daniel Héderváry''' though '''Gary''' (or '''Gari'''), a shortened form of his nation name, is sometimes used. Himaruya had initially intended to draw Hungary as male, and her nyotalia counterpart appears to use a slightly altered version of the previous design, as his hair appears to be slightly longer. They may also share the same [[Hungary#Trivia|personality]], however that is uncertain.

===Hong Kong===
As a female, Hong Kong has hip-length hair kept the same shade of dark brown as her male counterpart. Her eyes appear to be more of a dark brown than her male self and she has a flower in her hair that has been depicted as red, black, pink, yellow, or white. She wears a crimson shangpao with no sleeves and gold accents. She wears thigh-high black stockings and slipper-style shoes as well as black, fingerless gloves extending to just below her shoulder on both arms.

===Korea===
The female version of South Korea is depicted as a girl with long hair tied back in a braid. She wears a long hanbok with large, over-sized sleeves. Some fans call her '''Im Soo Jin'''.

===Liechtenstein===
The male version of [[Liechtenstein]] is depicted as a young boy in a long shirt and overalls. In a more recent sketch on Himaruya's blog, he is depicted as wearing a small crown and cape and holding a book of some sort. He is referred to by Japanese fandom as either '''Hr. Noah Stein''', or given his brother's surname of "Zwingli" (making him '''Hr. Noah Zwingli'''). "Hr." is the short form of the German and Scandinavian title ''Herr'', an equivalent to the English "Mister".

'''Rihi-kun''' and '''Stein-kun''' are two nicknames for the genderswapped Liechtenstein. The first comes from ''Rihiten'' (the shortening of his name in katakana) and the suffix "-kun", while the second comes from "-stein" and "-kun".

===Monaco===
The male version of [[Monaco]] is a rather short young man with slightly feathered blonde hair and a "tourist-welcoming' smile. He wears a black vest, a blue striped button-down shirt, and light pants, and is depicted drinking wine. He's said to be strong, a gourmet, and enjoy driving, but he's rather bad at gambling despite the prevalence of casinos in Monaco. He owns a Japanese-style garden and has a weird relationship with France, but it's good, despite the one fight that they had(two days after the fight he said "It’s no good without Big brother France" and they seem to have made up.) Oddly enough, the France he was depicted with and as having an odd relationship with was male France. He was originally under Spain's protection, eventually wound up with France, Italy, and then finally gained his independence with France's help, though he leans toward France nowadays.

===Poland===
Although female [[Poland]] has yet to be released, in response to a fan's inquiry, Himaruya stated that she would likely be a big sister-like character and look the same as male Poland.<ref>http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-194.html</ref>

===Prussia===
The female version of [[Prussia]] is a woman with long, rather wild white hair, which she, according to Himaruya's notes, started growing out from the 18th century onwards. Prior to then, it was even shorter than male Prussia's. She is shown to have sectoral [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia heterochromia] in both eyes; pink on the top and blue on the bottom. She gives the same air of arrogance as her male counterpart. She sports a scar on her left cheek, under her eye. Himaruya's stated that she found her sister to be even cuter after meeting her again when they had been separated, further support towards the theory of Prussia being East Germany. She has a wild and strong personality, which covers up her more serious, book-smart, and hard-working personality; she never misses a day of training. Himaruya has stated that he liked the name '''Julchen''' for her which, while not actually a name, is a diminutive form of '''Julia'''. She is also called '''Maria''' or '''Marie''' by some. She wears thigh-high boots, a black miniskirt, and a jacket similar to her male counterpart's, however it seems to be either torn or designed differently at the end, and comes to a stop shortly below her skirt.<ref name="nyopruaus"/> Her bird is given a bow, hinting that it is female.

Long before her official design, '''Maria''' was a name used for a fanon female version of Prussia. Her full name was given on Pixiv as '''Gilbert Maria Beilschmidt''' (or '''Maria Gilbert Beilschmidt'''), with "Maria" originating from '''St. Maria Order''' (short for [[wikipedia:Teutonic Knights|Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem]]). Since the released of a canon Nyotalia Prussia, Maria still remains popular to use.

===Seychelles===
[[Seychelles]] has short spiky hair and appears to be shirtless. He wears what appears to be a seashell necklace, swim trunks, sandals, and carries a large fish with him.

===South Italy===
The female version of South Italy, or Italy Romana, is drawn with dark, shoulder-length hair held back by a headband. She wears what appears to be either a ruffly top or dress in her initial appearances, and a uniform similar to the short-skirted variant her sister wears in a later chibi. She was also drawn without Romano's curl, however it was restored in a 2010 chibi drawing. The fanon name given to her by Japanese fans is '''Katarina Vargas '''(which could also be rendered ''Caterina'', a name widely used in southern Italy). Though, Western fandom often opt to call her '''Lovina''' instead as it is closer to her male counterpart's name. In a blog update, Himaruya had mentioned that he was sent a list of names for some of the Nyotalia characters, and that he liked the name listed for South Italy, '''Chiara''', commonly pronounced as "Key-ARE-ah" in Italy. In a note about the character after receiving a request to draw her, Himaruya said that she is better at fighting than her male counterpart.<ref>{{cite web|title=南イタリア娘|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-149.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=June 26, 2008|accessdate=September 13, 2012|trans_title=Miss South Italy}}</ref> She is also referred to as "Romana-san"("Miss Romana",) showing that she might be the type to be respected, and it was mentioned in the same post that she and female Spain seem to have strong images.<ref name="swespamana">{{cite web|title=日英同盟|url=http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-921.html|last=Himaruya|first=Hidekaz|date=October 26, 2012|accessdate=November 13, 2012|trans_title=Anglo-Japanese Alliance}}</ref>

In the official original sketch of her, Himaruya mistakenly used the filename "Romania", leading to brief confusion outside of the Japanese fandom over whether the design was of female Romano or a Romania.

===Spain===
The female [[Spain]] is shown to be a stylish woman with a pinstripe shirt and her hair tied back into a bun. She has two fan names in the Japanese fandom: '''Isabel Fernandez Carriedo''' and '''Carmen Hernandez Carriedo'''. This is due to the fact that Antonio's surname has been given as both ''Fernandez Carriedo'' and ''Hernandez Carriedo'', causing much confusion and debate. She and female Romano "seem to have strong images"<ref name="swespamana"/> and female Romano is like a daughter to her.

'''Nyotabun''', from ''nyotaika'' mixed with ''oyabun'' ("boss"), is a nickname used for female Spain.

===Switzerland===
While the female version of [[Switzerland]] has not yet been released, Himaruya, in response to a fan's desire to see her, said that it reminded him that he'd initially designed Switzerland as a girl with braided hair, however she gradually changed into the normal Switzerland we now have. He then said that he might give female Switzerland braided hair. He also mentioned a name he liked for her, '''Adelheid''', the name meaning "noble" and that the short form would be "'''Heidi'''".

===Sweden===
The female version of [[Sweden]] is a woman with straight, long hair. Her face is calm and serious and not scary-looking like her male counterpart. She wears glasses and a flat hat upon her head. She wears what appears to be a long flowing coat or dress with either a flower print pattern or lace trim at the bottom. She seems to be armed with a sword.

===Taiwan===
The male version of [[Taiwan]] has short hair and seems to be wearing an overshirt/jacket with the white sun from the flag of the RoC on it. He also seems to carry a bag around. He is seen in two different pictures; one that shows him with a long, wild curl while the latter version does not.

===Ukraine===
[[Ukraine]] as a man looks very much like Russia with a long scarf and a haircut much like his female counterpart.

===Vietnam===
Vietnam is dressed similarly to his female counterpart and carries a long paddle, but does not have a ponytail. His fanon name was usually Viet-kun.

===Wy===
[[Wy]] wears a tri-point crown on his head, a bandana around his shoulders, an unbuttoned shirt and shorts and carries a large paintbrush.

==Romaji==
"Rondon tte iu kara harikitte ki tara chigatta tte... 
Kore tte naisho da kara na!" 

Mawaru mawaru te o totte mawaru chikyuu rondo 
Norinori na ongaku de Shall we dance? 

Sūtsu ni shirukuhatto ēru de kanpai! 
Mawaru mawaru chikyuude "Hello!" Hetaria 

Aaa tabetai ze karamari furai shurinpu furai masshurūmu furai 
Aaa Nome ba wakaru sa kyou mo zekkouchou!

Aaa iki tai ze Summer Holidays

Mawaru mawaru te o totte wa ni natte chikyuu rondo 
Ame o koe te niji mo koe te Sing a song

Minna de issho ni Sing a song!
