Belarus is the younger sister of Ukraine and Russia. She is described as being "a very pretty girl" by Russia, and "strong yet cute" by Lithuania. She has a very strange infatuation with her brother, Russia, so much to the point where she wants him to marry her. Belarus often sticks by his side, seeming as though she does this to intimidate those around them, almost as if saying, "Back off. He's mine." This love is never returned, however, seeing as how Russia is deathly afraid of her and has no intentions of making her his wife. Lithuania, on the other hand, loves Belarus. Belarus happens to hate Lithuania very much, a hatred that apparently goes back to when they were kids in which Belarus had been separated from Russia for some time thanks to Lithuania.   

Despite her appearance, Belarus is very intimidating, harsh, and somewhat insane. Her favorite thing to read is the once-active Soviet newspaper, Pravda, and her favorite type of music is that of the rock genre. It has also been shown that she wields a knife as her weapon and that she loves the occult.

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."


The movie involves a mysterious force causing unusual incidents to happen all over the world, and the nations having to try to ward off the threat of human extinction from the alien race known as Pict, who seek to transform mankind and drain the color from the world (with America deciding that the world will be saved under his command).<br><br>
