List of Hetalia: Axis Powers characters is a list of all the Hetalia: Axis Powers characters within the Hetalia universe created by Hidekaz Himaruya and other additional information about them.

Axis Powers

The Axis Powers, primary characters within the series. From left to right: Japan, North Italy, Germany

The Axis Powers group of characters consists primarily of Germany, Italy, and Japan, who are also the protagonists of the series. The representations of various other countries also make appearances.

Italy Veneziano (North Italy)

Italy (イタリア) is the primary protagonist and the title character, portrayed as a bright, energetic, and sweet young man. In the series, he is depicted at various points as the infant grandson of the Roman Empire and is recognized as the weakest character in the series as well as a carefree and cowardly soldier who often depends on Germany to resolve issues. His artistry and love of pasta and pizza are references to Italian culture. He uses his adorable ways and cute face to charm girls he meets. He is portrayed as a "loveable loser". Despite looking weak and helpless, Italy is actually strong as a child, being able to defeat Turkey single-handedly during his golden days. According to Himaruya, Italy is strong, but because of his cowardice he doesn't show his strength.

Italy represents the northern half of the country of Italy, while his older brother represents the southern half. Hence, their full character names are Italy Veneziano and Italy Romano. In the anime series, both Veneziano and Romano are voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese. In English, Veneziano is voiced by Todd Haberkorn and Romano is voiced by Ian Sinclair. Young Italy, known as Chibitalia, is voiced by Aki Kanada in Japanese and Brina Palencia in English.

Germany

Germany (ドイツ) is a hard-working, efficient, bureaucratic, and serious man. In the series, Germany is primus inter pares among the Axis Powers, and takes responsibility for the training of Italy and Japan. He is portrayed as a tsundere character. He is tall, well-built, with blond hair and blue eyes and mostly wears military fatigues, uniforms, or formal wear. He is very aggressive around Italy and Japan, but sometimes he shows a sweet side. Another aspect of his character is his relative inexperience with relationships, leading him to be very by-the-book as a result of the belief that things will go wrong if he does not follow instructions to the letter. Despite this, as the series progresses, he forms a close friendship with Italy. He notes at one point that he had a "crazy boss", a reference to the historical figure of the old WII dictator. In the anime series, he is voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto in Japanese and Patrick Seitz in English.

Japan

Japan (日本) is a reclusive and hard-working character. He seems to have a problem with others being in his personal space, for he gets uncomfortable if anyone touches him or gets too close. In the series, he is shown to be inexperienced with the Western world, and prone to culture shock; but he also finds fascination in the ways of other nations since he takes photographs of cultural oddities in other countries' lands. A young man, his character design features dark brown eyes and black hair, common physical traits among Japanese people; and has the attire of an Imperial Japanese Naval officer. He often tries to adopt the cultures of other countries he meets such as France, or when other countries meet him such as America. He senses the mood and refrains from speaking. Generally quiet, he is often depicted with the attitude of a businesslike old man. In the anime series, he is voiced by Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese and Christopher Bevins in English. Young Japan is voiced by Alexis Tipton in English.

Allied Forces

The Allied Powers, primary characters within the series. From left to right: Russia, England, America, China, France.

The Allied Forces group consists primarily of the characters America, England, France, Russia, Canada, and China. These characters are often depicted as comically failing to reach consensus in their war meetings. The representations of countries that were also part of the historical Allies of World War II, such as Canada, make additional appearances.

America

America (アメリカ) is an energetic and headstrong character. In the series, he was a feral child-nation found and raised by England, then later grows distant from him which eventually leads to him fighting for his independence. He also shows signs of influence from his rearing by France and Spain in his personality (he has some of France's arrogance and Spain's undying optimism). America is very similar in appearance to his twin brother, Canada, who is often mistaken for America. America has dark blond hair, vivid blue eyes, has glasses representing "Texas", a noticeable cowlick representing "Nantucket", wears a US Army Air Force officer's uniform, and a vintage leather flight jacket. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces, and his catchphrase is "I'm the hero!" His ideas for solving international problems are often absurd, and he is usually oblivious to the opinions of others. America's ideas and inventions are grand, but rarely go anywhere. He is often portrayed as loud, obnoxious, egocentric, immature, and sticking his nose into other people's business with little regard for whom his actions affect. Yet despite his misgivings, he is shown to be a kind-hearted person who cares deeply for his friends. He is also shown to be extremely intelligent in several fields, but most of the other nations don't typically see him working in them and assume he is somewhat stupid.

He is a brave adventurer and natural explorer, wanting to try things no one has ever done before, and he usually spends his free time either eating indulgently, hanging out with others, or making movies. He can't sit idly for too long due to his hyperactiveness, which also gives a short attention span; and has a fascination of superheros which he aspires to be one himself as the world's policeman. His one crippling phobia is the fear of ghosts, which is at odds with his friendly acquaintance with a grey alien named Tony, who lives in his house. America is frequently seen clutching a hamburger or eating while speaking, yet he is self-conscious of his unhealthy habits and tries several yet ineffective diets to stay healthy. He also has uncanny superhuman strength, being able to lift objects several times his size. In the anime series, his voice actor is Katsuyuki Konishi in Japanese and Eric Vale in English, both of whom also voice Canada. As a child, America's voice actress is Ai Iwamura in Japanese and Luci Christian in English.

England

England (イギリス), also known as the United Kingdom or Britain, is a tsundere character. In the series, he is depicted as an irritable young man. A former pirate, he is now a cynical and sharp-tongued gentleman. Some of his notable character traits include terrible cooking skills, foul mouth, arrogance, the ability to see supernatural creatures (imaginary friends that are seen by only him and Norway), and ability to perform magic curses on his enemies. Britain is most antagonistic towards France, with whom he shares a long rivalry; and America, his former charge who left him from his overbearing control of him, but he is shown to still care about him. He is usually recognized for his large eyebrows, messy blond hair, green eyes, and his RAF officer's garb. In the English release of the anime, when asked why they opted to choose the name "Britain" over "England", Funimation explained that it was a request from the Japanese studio, since the country's official name is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. His flag is the United Kingdom's flag and not England's. Tokyopop, the English publisher of the manga, refers to him as "England."

In one strip England notes that he has an older brother named Scotland. Himaruya has confirmed that the character represents the UK and England, while Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales are his siblings. Nothing is known about his relation to Ireland, though she/he may be a sibling,too. England's other relation is Sealand, a micronation whom England considers to be an annoying little brother due to his continued attempts to get other countries to recognise him as an independent country. In the anime series, his Japanese voice actor is Noriaki Sugiyama and his English voice actor is Scott Freeman.

France

France (フランス) is a romantic, carefree character. In the series, he is shown to have a long-held rivalry with England, whom he raised. He makes sexual passes at many characters, during special events. France explains away his long history of military defeats as a joke from God, but he believes he is gifted with his "charms" and his supreme cooking skills. He regards himself as the eldest brother among the European nations and is referred to as such by some of them, though he calls Spain his elder brother in turn. Most of the time he does not bother remembering to speak English, instead using French, the 'Language of Love'. He has long blond hair, clear blue eyes, and usually wears a purple cathedral cloak. In the anime series, he is voiced by Masaya Onosaka in Japanese and J. Michael Tatum in English.

Russia

Russia (ロシア) is a deredrer character. He is the tallest of all the nations (a reference to the fact Russia is the largest country in the world). He has silver-blonde hair, dark purple eyes, a large nose, wears a thick winter coat and a silk scarf. Russia has a kind face, but has mentally cracked from the strain of his bloody history, and as a result he has the innocence and cruelty of a child; sometimes he casts an aura of pure evil around him whenever such malicious thoughts enter his mind. The other nations are terrified of him, especially the Baltic Nations (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia), whom he loves to abuse physically and emotionally. Occasionally, he stalks China, while in a panda costume; and he holds a subtle rivalry with the western nations, especially America. His primary target of resentment is General Winter, because despite using the cold to his advantage in war, he is also attacked by him every year.

Russia also has two sisters: his older sister, Ukraine and his younger sister, Belarus. He becomes gloomy and depressed when either of them are on his mind because Ukraine left him to try and make friends in the European Union and Belarus, who is a yandere, is obsessed with the idea of forcing him to marry her. She seems to be the only other country which Russia fears. Combined with his sisters and the Baltic states, he had an intertwined marriage between them all known as the Soviet Union. Russia happily promises that eventually "all will become one with Russia". His favorite things are sunflowers and vodka (which he adores so much that he was willing to say it while falling from an airplane with no parachute). Another favorite phrase is "kolkolkol", used when he is angered. Russia is often seen carrying a metal faucet pipe. In the anime series, he is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato in Japanese and Jerry Jewell in English.

China

China (中国) is one of the oldest nations, being depicted as immortal as well as being four thousand years old, and is regarded as the eldest sibling among the East Asian nations. He is often depicted with pandas. His boss was introduced as a green Chinese dragon with an intimidating appearance who in reality is quite relaxed and moderate, and is shown to be bullied by China in a comedic way. After his defeat in the Opium War, he became the cook for England and France. He is disturbed by and distrustful of Russia, reflecting the Sino-Soviet Split that occurred after the war. During the fight between the Axis and Allies, He fights Germany and Japan with a Wok (round cooking pan) and ladle, which became his weapon of choice which also serves as a stereotype that China serves good food. He is a big fan of Hello Kitty and tends to end his sentences with the suffix -aru, a Japanese stereotype of how Chinese people speak (see Kyowa-go). However, he replaces the customary -aru with the suffix -ahen, which means opium, when speaking to England, as a reference to the Opium Wars. In the anime series, he is voiced by Yuki Kaida in Japanese and Clarine Harp in English.

European countries

Austria

Austria (オーストリア) is an optimistic and elegant-looking young man who has interest in the arts, specifically in the piano. He is mostly known for taking control of Italy after the Italian Wars (present in the Chibitalia parts of the manga/anime) and having Italy as his servant; at the same time, he is somewhat of a father figure to him. Austria's relationship with Germany is seen as love–hate since they merged and became allies during World War I, but Austria's presence annoyed Germany greatly. He is also known for being an enemy to Prussia whom he lost Silesia to during the War of the Austrian Succession; since then Prussia has mocked and humiliated Austria even for having female leader. He is known for his several marriages notably his marriage to Spain when the Hapsburg came to Spain and his marriage to Hungary that created the dual monarchy Austria-Hungary. He became enemies with Spain during the War of Spanish Succession and when he allied himself with France and Prussia during the War of Austrian Succession. He is still on good terms with Hungary even after their divorce and often spend time together. Austria was once united with Switzerland, but they broke apart and deny their friendship. According to his character notes, Austria does not wear glasses for bad eyesight but rather for a better appearance; the stray strand in his hair represents Mariazell. Austria is voiced by Akira Sasanuma in Japanese and by Chuck Huber in English.

Spain

Spain (スペイン) was once very powerful until poverty and war struck but he nevertheless remained optimistic. Spain is shown to be comically incapable of reading the atmosphere and doesn't even bother to try. He has mixed relationships with many characters including France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, and Netherlands, but his most important is with Romano, Italy's older brother. Romano spent much time under Spain's rule with the queen Joanna of Castile and their relationship was love–hate, Spain was always affectionate but Romano cursed at him constantly. Spain is fond of children which leads to his desire to have both parts of Italy in his house. Spain was once married to Austria when the Hapsburgs came to Spain but became his enemy during the War of the Spanish Succession, even though he got Milan, and during the War of the Austrian Succession. Likewise, Netherlands doesn't like Spain at all, it is said that Belgium however is on good terms with Spain. Spain is voiced by Go Inoue in Japanese and by David Trosko in English.

Italy Romano (South Italy)

South Italy (南イタリア), often referred to as Romano (ロマーノ), is the older brother of Veneziano (North Italy) and is the representation of South Italy. Romano seems to have a great dislike for everyone, although he privately respects Spain, who raised him when he was young, but hates Germany and is much more openly rude to him. He is depicted as having a tsundere type of personality and cusses frequently. His hair and - sometimes in manga art - skin are darker than Veneziano's. This is because he has mingled with Arabic blood while Veneziano has mingled with Germanic. He has been referred to as having "Darker hair, darker personality." He is shown in multiple outfits but most commonly a tan uniform with a maroon top and navy blue tie. He acts brave but is actually as fearful as his brother and tends to hide behind Spain. Romano and Veneziano do not get along well with each other, but Romano shares his younger brother's love of girls and pasta. He is the tougher and more hardworking of the two, as he was the one who had to work more historically. Romano suffers from an inferiority complex toward his younger brother, as Veneziano was more talented in the arts and loved more by their grandfather, so he constantly berates himself. Romano is scared of France and Turkey. Romano is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese and by Ian Sinclair in English. Chibi Romano is voiced by Aki Kanada in Japanese and by Colleen Clinkenbeard in English.

Hungary

Hungary (ハンガリー) was once a nomadic girl, who thought she was a boy, who was picked on by Mongolia and a younger Turkey (then called the Ottoman Empire); she has two ancestors mentioned, Hun and Magyar. After Prussia discovered the fact she was a woman, Hungary decided to settle down and moved in with Austria, eventually becoming a couple and remaining with him until they were forced to separate at the end of World War One. Prussia first discovered this when he found her wounded and noticed that she had breasts when her shirt was unbuttoned. Hungary is known for being somewhat a big sister figure to Italy and being the only one who knew he was a boy during their time with Austria and Holy Rome. Like Austria, Hungary is a rival with Prussia since she helped Austria out during the war mentioned above and has constantly protected Austria since then and is fond of him since he was the only one who showed her respect. It was revealed by Himaruya that Hungary was initially intended to be a cross-dressing male character, but it was decided that Poland would have these traits instead. Himaruya had also planned to make Hungary more witch-like. She has a flower in her hair that represents Lake Balaton. It is said that Hungary is probably one of the manliest characters in the series and is a fujoshi. She is also very religious, considering she received an order from God to hit France over the head with a skillet. This is one of her most memorable moments. Hungary is voiced by Michiko Neya in Japanese and by Luci Christian in English.

Poland

Poland (ポーランド) is an eccentric, selfish, and childish yet cheerful country known for his valley girl accent. Poland was originally designed to be female, and Hungary a crossdressing male, but Himaruya swapped the two. He is also known for his friendship with Lithuania which represents the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, until Russia, Prussia, and Austria fought and divided them in 1795. Poland calls Lithuania Liet, (short for Lietuva, the Lithuanian word for Lithuania). He calls himself a phoenix, which shows how Poland kept rising and rising after being beat down. Around strangers he assertively states his opinion, and is then struck down by extreme shyness, as shown when he first met Sweden. He can act brave and be outgoing and relaxed in front, but quickly returns to his usual shy self when his limit is reached. Poland isn't as selfish as he once was and over time has become more concerned for others, as shown when he sees Lithuania's bruised back after Lithuania's return from Russia, saying "There's a side to Lithuania I don't know about". He also has good relations with Italy and Hungary. Poland is voiced by Kokoro Tanaka (formerly known as Kazutada Tanaka) in Japanese, Ryan Bijan in English, but is then replaced by Joel McDonald, who dubs Poland in World Series and Paint it, White!.

Netherlands

Netherlands (オランダ) is the older brother of Belgium and Luxembourg. Initial notes described him as a tsundere who is xenophobic and thinks little of using drugs, which may be referencing to the semi-legality of soft-drug consumption in the Netherlands, and is hinted to have a lolicon fetish. Current notes describe him as neurotic and solemn, obsessed with cleanliness and money and doesn't like to be tied up. He has a pet bunny and beat up Finland and Sweden and drove them out of the New World. He has disliked Spain since the 80 years war although he mostly appears in the group formed by Spain, South Italy, Belgium and himself. His formal debut is in vol3 of the manga and Netherlands finally appears with Belgium in episode 94 of the anime. He is voiced by Nobuya Mine in Japanese and by Michael Sinterniklaas in English.

Belgium

Belgium (ベルギ) is a character in Hetalia that did not have much development until recently. She is described as the younger sister of Netherlands and the older sister of Luxembourg, thus forming the Low Countries, and is known for her short dark brown hair with a ribbon through it. Belgium had a brief appearance in both the first episode and chapter of Hetalia, and she had another appearance in an unaired episode of the World Series, but all of these appearances are non-speaking. Her formal and speaking debut was in volume 3 of the Hetalia manga when she meets with Spain and Romano and her and her brother's profiles are given. Belgium finally appears with Netherlands in episode 94 of the anime. Belgium is mostly known for breaking away from her siblings when they tried to unite, but due to different religions and industries Belgium didn't want to join. She is voiced by Eriko Nakamura in Japanese and Amanada Doskocil in English.

Greece

Greece (ギリシャ) is a Mediterranean country. He is known as lover of cats and philosophy. He is often seen with cats due to his country having so many strays, and often has some of the mannerisms of a cat such as sleeping for long periods of time. Due to his country being filled with ruins left by his mother, Ancient Greece, he is unable to develop his country much. His main rivalry is with Turkey, who invaded him. He also has good relations with Japan. Greece is voiced by Atsushi Kousaka in Japanese and by Vic Mignogna in English.

Turkey

Turkey (トルコ) is a Mediterranean country who is recognisable by the fact he is usually seen wearing a mask around his eyes. Formerly known as the Ottoman Empire, he has a big rivalry with Greece after he invaded the country, but Russia also is another biggest enemy of him from history of the Russo-Turkish War. Turkey is described as being, "unnecessarily passionate and uncomfortably friendly". However, despite his jovial personality, Turkey can be stubborn about trivial things." He is also the only country in the world to recognise the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as a country, whom he currently has custody over. Turkey is voiced by Takahiro Fujimoto in Japanese and Kent Williams in English.

Switzerland

Switzerland (スイス) is a xenophobic nation in the Alps, usually depicted in a green military uniform and a white beret. He is permanently neutral in all matters, and is always threatening other nations to get off his land via gunpoint. His only close relationship is with Liechtenstein (リヒテンシュタイン), a small female nation that Switzerland adopted after she fell into poverty after World War I. Liechtenstein is very close to Switzerland, often dressing up like him, and they share the same army. In the film Paint it, White Switzerland and Liechtenstein are the only two nations in the world not affected by the invasion of the Pict because of they are protected by their "barrier of permanent neutrality." Switzerland is voiced by Romi Park in Japanese and John Burgmeier in English. Liechtenstein is voiced by Rie Kugimiya in Japanese and Cherami Leigh in English.

Ukraine and Belarus

Ukraine (ウクライナ) and Belarus (ベラルーシ) are Russia's sisters who cause Russia deep sadness. Ukraine is Russia's older sister who gave him the scarf he now wears. She tries to distance herself away from Russia by trying to make new friends in Europe. She is very poor and often cannot afford to pay her gas and oil bills to Russia. She also has large breasts that represent her country's agricultural nature, which causes her constant back pains. Belarus, who wears an old fashioned dress, is deeply in love with Russia and constantly tries to get him to marry her. quote: "marry me big brother". Russia, however, finds her terrifying and thus tries to avoid her. It also may be so because she and Russia are "kind of siblings", which makes her incestuous. She gets severely jealous of other nations if they are near Russia and she will usually scare other nations off. Ukraine is voiced by Yuki Masuda in Japanese and Lydia Mackay in English, while Belarus is voiced by Urara Takano in Japanese and Monica Rial in English.

The Three Baltics

The Three Baltic states, Lithuania (リトアニア), Estonia (エストニア) and Latvia (ラトビア) are three Eastern European countries who are dominated by Russia and constantly suffer from his bullying. Lithuania is voiced by Ken Takeuchi in Japanese and Josh Grelle in English; Estonia by Atsushi Kousaka in Japanese and Mike McFarland in English; and Latvia by Kazutada Tanaka in Japanese and Ryan Reynolds in English.

Lithuania, the eldest, was once a superpower that ruled much of Eastern and Middle Europe with Poland, but their empire collapsed. He has always fought off other countries, including Russia and the Teutonic Knights (the younger version of Prussia). Lithuania is shown to be good friends with both Poland and America, having lived in the latter's house for a while before the Great Depression. He has a crush on Belarus, not noticing when she glares at him and, one time, not even noticing when she broke all of his fingers.

Estonia is described as "The wisest of the Baltic brothers and the most lucky as well." He is very high-tech, and is the owner of the strange "mochis", which are small, round, white creatures; each of them is like a certain country, with the four that are usually shown being America, Italy, Canada, and England. Of the three, it is he who tends to stand up to Russia the most.

Latvia is the youngest of the three states. He gets bullied the most by Russia due to his blunt nature, but is also the most dependent on him. He is very short, which Russia often points out to him. Latvia believes he could have grown more if Russia would not push down on his head when annoyed, which lead Russia to attempt to stretch him instead. He is shown to also drink quite a lot of alcohol, despite his young age.

The Five Nordic Countries

The Five Nordic countries, Norway (ノルウェー), Sweden (スウェーデン), Finland (フィンランド), Denmark (デンマーク) and Iceland (アイスランド) are five North European countries, most associated with The Nordics.

Norway is depicted as a recluse and is revealed to be the brother of Iceland following a DNA test. He is shown to be the only nation other than England to be able to see spirits and magical creatures. We also know that Norway is a magician. He is very annoyed by Denmark and often overreacts to him, even choking him once, even though he is described as having a special relationship with the Dane. He is protective of Iceland and is shown to care a lot about him.

Sweden appears to be scary and often intimidates those around him, although he is actually friendly. He has a tendency to leave vowels out of his statements, making what he says difficult to decipher. He has a fondness for Finland, calling him "m' wife".

Finland is a cheerful nation who has a particular fondness for Christmas because of the belief that Santa Claus lives in Lapland, which is a major region in northern Finland. He and Sweden escaped from Denmark's house together, traveling back to their homes together as well. He considers all the Nordics to be brothers, and he and Sweden are shown to be the peacekeepers between them.

Denmark is loud, arrogant, and is often seen drinking heavily. He has a fondness for the other Nordics, considering them to be his brothers, especially Iceland and Norway.

Iceland, the younger brother of Norway, is said to have a cool exterior but is hot and passionate inside, a reference to the volcanic nature of the country. He is often seen with a puffin that talks like a Mafia boss.

Norway is voiced by Masami Iwasaki in Japanese and Alex Organ in English; Sweden by Keikou Sakai in Japanese and Robert McCollum in English; Finland by Takahiro Mizushima in Japanese and Clint Bickham in English; Denmark by Hiroshi Shimozaki in Japanese and Montgomery Sutton in English; and Iceland by Ayumu Asakura in Japanese and Jason Liebrecht in English.

Prussia

Prussia (プロイセン) the older brother of Germany and the other States of Germany and was in Hetalia Axis Powers, Hetalia World Series, Hetalia Paint it White and Hetalia The Beautiful World. He is a wild country who constantly fought, mostly with Hungary and Austria, just to get power. He is shown to have white/light blond hair, very pale skin, and reddish eyes- albino-like in appearance. He once represented the Teutonic Knights, but eventually became Prussia after various stages in his life as a nation. He is no longer his own country but now lives with Germany after World War II. He has a fondness for picking on Austria, which causes him to get beaten up by Hungary even in the modern day. He loves beer. Although he is known for seizing 'vital regions', the first country to coin the term was Austria.

Prussia is also very vain and proud and often thinks that he is better than the other countries, calling himself "The Awesome Me". His favourite boss of all is Frederich II of Prussia, or Old Fritz, whom he fought for in the Silesian Wars against Austria. Prussia thus dislikes Austria and Hungary very much and is almost afraid of Hungary due to their hardships when they were younger. His catch phrase or laugh is along the lines of kesese!! He is voiced by Atsushi Kousaka in Japanese and Jonathan Brooks in English. He is often seen with a chick, Gilbird (a name derived from Prussia's own first name), on his head or shoulder. The bird is used as a messenger in the Anime and makes a 'piyo' noise. Is also in a group known as "The Bad Touch Trio", consisting of France, Spain, and Prussia. He is voiced by Kousaka Atsushi. His human name is Gilbert Beilschmidt.

Romania

Romania (ルーマニア) has been described as a friendly, cheerful, and mischievous character who does not get along well with Hungary, though their relationship is described like "Cats and Dogs". He is known to have a strong belief in black magic and to have a love for folklore, such as Ileana Cosânzeana, which brings out his romantic side. It is said that his strong points are magic and good luck charms, as revealed through character notes. He first appeared in the Gakuen Hetalia strip "Carry On, Newspaper Club!", in which he is shown to be in the Magic Club with England. He later appeared in Hetalia: The Beautiful World in an animated version of the same strip. He is voiced by Takuya Kodama in the Japanese version, but he doesn't have an English-language voice actor yet because, so far, there has been no English-language dubbing of Hetalia: The Beautiful World.

Bulgaria

Bulgaria (ブルガリア), in his debut appearance, bullies Italy despite being an ally of his and Germany's, stating that something about Italy's face gave him an urge to attack him. After Germany asks him, "Aren't you in the Axis?!," he states, "Ya, but take a look at him and tell me you've never wanted to do the same thing." In the 2011 Christmas Event, Bulgaria appears with Romania and seems to have been late due to a yogurt incident. In the Japanese version, Bulgaria is voiced by Go Inoue. He is voiced by Justin Pate in the English Dub.

Monaco

Monaco (モナコ) is an intelligent, younger-sister to France who speaks like an old lady. Despite her serious, grumpy appearance, she is actually quite a sociable character and a knowledgeable student fond of ballet dancing. She is also a bit of a gambler and is known for her casinos. She is also the most anxious of the nations, as she repeatedly worries about world affairs and her economy. She has used her knowledge to protect her country for a long time. She has been on a date with Seborga, but nothing is clear about the further relationship. In the anime, she only appears in the "Nekotalia" story arc as Monaco Cat, wanting to ban canned tuna due to a tuna shortage when Japan Cat convinces her otherwise; there, she is voiced by Yuki Kaida (Japanese) and Colleen Clinkenbeard (English).

Micronations

Sealand

Sealand (シーランド) is unofficially the smallest nation in the world. Dressed in a sailor suit, Sealand is the youngest and smallest character in the series. He was created after England made him, but left him in the middle of the sea and forgot about him. However, nobody recognizes Sealand as a nation in his own right. As a result, he has to try other ways of getting noticed. For example, he once went to a meeting disguised as Canada. In the film Paint it, White, Sealand is shown that he has the ability to run across water and jump great heights, being able to jump from sea-level to his platform in a single leap. He refers to England as "jerk England" or "British jerk." He is voiced by Ai Orikasa in Japanese and Maxey Whitehead in English. Sealand as a teenager is voiced by Aaron Dismuke in English.

Seborga

Seborga (セボルガ) is a micronation resembling and related to the two Italy brothers. Seborga declared his independence many centuries ago but no-one recognizes him as a state due to his passive nature. He is even more of a womanizer than Veneziano and Romano. He is usually depicted wearing a green shirt and carrying a rubber inner-tube. He is friendly with Sealand, and is the first to join Sealand's club of micronations. He is also shown to like Wy, commenting that she was cute and that he might hit on her when she gets older. He has tried to hit on Monaco, though he had to defeat her in a game of poker. He failed but they went out anyways. He makes his anime appearance in the episode "Keep on moving!! March Forward, Sealand!", which adapts the Volume 4 manga strip of the same name. He is voiced by Hiroshi Okamoto in the Japanese version, but he doesn't have an English-language voice actor yet because, to date, there has been no English-language dubbing of Hetalia: The Beautiful World.

Wy

Wy (ワイ) is a young female micronation residing in Australia. Wy is an artistic character, who tries to act mature. Being a hostile character, she tends to act coldly to other characters, including other micronations, only following them out of boredom. Her main relation is Hutt River, an older, more developed micronation who acts as her senior. Unlike Sealand, she is recognized as a nation by some people, including local towns, but not by other nations. Her behavior is shown to reflect the philosophy of the Prince of Wy, Paul Delprat. She makes her anime debut in Hetalia: The Beautiful World in the episode "Keep on moving!! March Forward, Sealand!", which adapts the Volume 4 manga strip of the same name. She is voiced by Mikako Komatsu in the Japanese version, but she doesn't have an English-language voice actor yet because, so far, there has been no English-language dubbing of Hetalia: The Beautiful World.

Molossia

Molossia (モロッシア) is a teenage male micronation from Nevada, United States. While on his own he is calm and enjoys gardening, when in the presence of others Molossia instantly turns aggressive and foul-mouthed. He is often seen swearing and giving middle finger signs to other nations and micronations. He is usually seen wearing a military jacket slung over his shoulders, a gold chain around his neck, and with an unusual hairstyle which is a combination of a mohican and a pompadour. His mobster-like appearance is likely a reference to Las Vegas's (and to a lesser extent, Reno's) history of organized crime in the past, and the stereotypes associated with it.

Hutt River

Hutt River (ハット・リバー) is an adult male micronation living in Australia. He acts as the senior to Wy and is seen as being more developed than the other micronations, living in a clean, organized state and trying to come across as important. For example, he usually only allows someone to speak to him if they own a Rolls Royce, and when visiting him you have to pay a visa costing two Hutt River dollars. He is usually seen wearing a bow tie, a large cloak and a striped sash.

Kugelmugel

Kugelmugel (クーゲルムーゲルさん) is a young male micronation from Austria, who describes him as being "eccentric". Kugelmugel is obsessed with art, and believes that most things are art, including declaring his independence. Thus he is usually seen by other countries running around exclaiming: "It's art! It's art!" He is usually seen wearing a red beret, a waistcoat with a striped shirt and bow tie, shorts, and with long braids in his hair.

Ladonia

Ladonia (ラドニア) is a young male micronation living with Sweden, but based on the internet. Ladonia is hot-headed, claiming to be powerful enough to take on Sweden, to be extremely popular, and upon meeting the other micronations orders them to obey him, often acting hostile towards Sealand. He is usually seen with a computer or a games console, and can sometimes end up trapped inside computers. Ladonia has paint across his face, and wears a long coat with a golden apple pinned on it.

Other

Ancient Rome

Ancient Rome (ローマ帝国), called Grandpa Rome by Italy, but also referenced as Roma Antiqua and Roman Empire,and Maximus is the grandfather to both Italy and Romano. Like both Italys, Rome is somewhat lazy, gluttonous, and is a womanizer, however Italy seems to take after him more in both appearance and the fact that Rome is somewhat bubble-headed. Rome was somewhat surprised when he discovered that Germany knew of him and admired him which made Rome like him much more. Other relationships that Rome had were with Germania, the grandfather of Holy Rome, Prussia, and Germany who was once his bodyguard but apparently killed Rome later on; also with Ancient Greece, the mother of Greece, and Ancient Egypt, the mother of Egypt, both of whom he fell in love with. He is voiced by Hozumi Gōda in Japanese, and by Christopher Sabat in English.

Germania

Germania (ゲルマン), Geru is the representation of the Germanic Tribes (though it is believed by some that he may instead be intended to represent the region Germania). He is often shown with a blank emotionless expression, and very little is known about him, other than speculation, such as him being a brutal warrior. For a while, he acted as Rome's bodyguard, but slowly grew to hate him, however they are often seen together hanging out, even to the point where Rome told Germania to keep smiling until he got there (something that was a physical impossibility) he often puts up with Rome's antics, and when Rome said he had a problem, Germania told him advice to help him and ways, but is visibly unamused and annoyed. In the Japanese anime, he is voiced by Kishô Taniyama, and in the English version he is voiced by Jason Douglas.

Holy Roman Empire

Holy Roman Empire (神聖ローマ), is only seen in the Chibitalia segment of the show and has a resemblance of the chibi Germany. At first, Holy Rome takes Italy and forces him to become part of the empire, but in later episodes Holy Rome breaks apart from Italy when he was conquered by Austria in the Italian wars. Throughout the series, Holy Rome tries to unite him and Italy, and develops a crush on him, thought that Italy was a girl the entire time. He leaves to fight in a war, and then disappears. His fate has not yet been disclosed, although Himaruya has stated that he and Italy will "have a happy ending." There is a long running fan debate about whether or not Holy Rome, after being wounded in a battle by France, lost his memory and was then raised by Prussia, growing up to be Germany. He is voiced by Jun Konno in Japanese and Chris Cason in English.

Seychelles

Seychelles (セーシェル) is described as a country girl with a big heart who can sometimes be sloppy. She can't cook on her own and laments over her high cost of living. Her language is a unique type of French, mixing both French and English. She is good friends with France's sister, Monaco.

She has made two major appearances in the comic to date. In We're Shipwrecked Too! she is talking about eating fish with France as he decides to go on an "aimless trip to a southern island." In United States of Hetalia 2, it is revealed that the island where both the Allies and Axis have been repeatedly seen/trapped is in fact the island of Seychelles herself. She was also the main character in the portable game Gauken Hetalia for PSP. She is voiced by Megumi Takamoto in Japanese and by Cassandra Hodges in English.

Cameroon

Cameroon (カメルーン) is one of the few African countries represented in Hetalia as of June, 2011. He is depicted as a laid-back, athletic man who likes playing soccer with the children in his neighborhood. He is strong and tall with a buzz cut hairdo and a cross shaved into the side of his head. He wears glasses and has a pet lion named Kokolo. During the 2010 Hetalia Christmas Blood-Bath, he was knocked out by an alternate France while retrieving a soccer ball that had been accidentally kicked into a nearby old man's yard. He woke up alongside the other nations and explained his experience with the mysterious figure.

Asian countries

Besides China and Japan, there are six main Asian characters being revealed in the series, including South Korea (韓国), Taiwan (台湾)、 Vietnam (ベトナム)、 Thailand (タイ)、 Hong Kong (香港) and Macau (マカオ)

South Korea is a wild and energetic teenager who always claims he is "the origin of everything", which annoys Japan and China.

Taiwan is a fashionable, optimistic and cheerful teenage girl who is strongly willed, and has a tendency to worry. She seemed to want to get closer to Japan rather than to China, considering the former to be closer to a peer and the latter like an authority figure. She enjoys the kawaii culture (which means cute) from Japan. In addition, she is said to be a good cook.

Vietnam is a more serious and tougher female, often coming across as emotionless even though she is somewhat modest and shy.

Thailand is a mild young man who always smiles, eats Pad Thai, and is often seen with a little elephant.

Hong Kong is a calm teenage boy with thick eyebrows (due to a curse from the UK) who likes to play tricks and pranks to annoy China and England. He also enjoys making sarcastic comments. Like Taiwan, he calls China "teacher".

Macau acts like a gentle big brother with a pair of glasses. He is shown drinking tea while listening to his siblings fight.

Taiwan is voiced by Yuki Kaida in Japanese. Hong Kong is voice by Shelton Windham in English and by Motoki Takagi in Japanese.

Australia

Austrialia (オーストラリア) is depicted in the manga as a cheerful, big-brother like character. He is the big brother of Wy. Due to his name sounding somewhat like Austria's, his hair is similar to Austria's as well although having two ahoges instead of one. He has a band-aid across his nose and is often depicted with an evil-looking koala. He appears in an episode of Hetalia: Beautiful World when the Gauken Hetalia newspaper club (made up of the Axis Powers) interviews the swimming club he is a member of. He is voiced by Keiichiro Asai in Japanese.

Egypt

Egypt (エジプト) is a character that briefly appeared in the original webcomic but rarely shows up in the later installments and published manga. He is characterized as silent and of little to no words; although his profile states that he is serious and family-oriented. He is voiced by Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese and by Scott Sager in English. His mother, Ancient Egypt, was a love interest for Ancient Rome.

Cuba

Cuba (キューバ) is a cheerful yet loud and hot-tempered nation who does not get along well with America. However, he is friends with Canada even though he often mistakes him for America. His favorite food is ice cream, but his consumption of it has given him weight problems. He is voiced by Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese and by Bob Carter in English.
