A neutral country and ex-Viking that was once nicknamed “The Conqueror of the Baltic Sea” and “The Lion of Northern Europe.” In the first episode of the anime adaptation, he made a brief cameo appearance in which he was shown with light brown hair and dark brown eyes. When he made his official debut in Hetalia World Series, his hair was changed to being blonde and his eyes were changed to blue.  Back when they were under the rule of Denmark, Sweden and Finland ran away and began living together. Finland was later overpowered by Russia and was under his control; he claimed to be “freer” when living in Russia’s house, but didn’t have as much fun as he did with Sweden.  Sweden’s adopted son is Sealand, whom he bought from an online auction. He also has partial custody of Latvia and Estonia, which came to be after he and Finland ran away from Denmark.  He doesn’t talk much and seems very mysterious and scary due to his intimidating appearance. It was said that he came to be that way because he was born in a cold place. However, he’s rather serious, honest, playful, and kind underneath all this. Surprisingly, his hobbies include debating, making furniture, art, glass crafts, making a huge amount of Surströmming (which was said to be able to be used as a lethal weapon), and putting most of his effort into the welfare of his citizens. It is also to note that he speaks in a Tohoku dialect.  Finland calls him “Su-san” for short, and Iceland calls him “Svi.”

Based on a popular web-released manga series by Hidekazu Himaruya, this has been described as a "cynical gag" story set in Europe in the years between WW1 and WW2 (1918-1939), using exaggerated caricatures of the different nationalities as portrayed by a gaggle of bish&#333;nen. For example, the Italia Veneziano character is into pasta and women. The Deutsche (German) bishi loves potatoes and sausages, and Nippon is an otaku boy. Installments of the manga have jumped back and forth in setting from the ancient times to modern-day geopolitics. The manga's title comes the Japanese words for "useless" (hetare) and Italy (Italia).

Think of it like WWII, except every country is a pretty boy instead. A hilariously stereotypical pretty boy. America loves burgers, Russia is into the vodka, and China has pandas and a wok. It is centered mostly around Italy, who has both a North and South character. The Hetaria portion of the name is probably mocking Italy, as Hetare means "Useless."


There are strange people in this world. If it is short, it will disappear for several days, and if it is long, it will disappear for hundreds of years. The name and personality changed, and suddenly appeared by someone's unexpected idea. Even though he is the most weird, he is loosely accepted and used by his boss. This is the story of such strange people.
