The characters of Hetalia: Axis Powers (often shortened to just Hetalia) are Japanese manga/anime personifications of various nations, countries and micronations. The personalities of each individual character are based upon stereotypes of the nations, countries and micronations depicted.[1] The characters were created by Hidekaz Himaruya, writer and illustrator of the web manga series.[2]
