Im writing this for a few reasons:
1. ...All of my stories are M rated, so I figured I'd produce something for the childrens
2. My brain doesn't really wanna think too hard about plot and/or meaning.
3. I'm bored
4. Everytime I think of a random political/statistical/georgaphical/ anything about the countries, my mind automatically applies it to Hetalia
Warnings: This is intended for crack and for everyone's entertainment. These facts I assume to be true, but may also be lies. I am not going to list my sources, just know that these thing/facts do not belong to me. I am not saying these statistics represent the country as a whole, or its peoples, I am merely listing those I find. Nor do I absolutely KNOW these things are fact.
Also, not all countries will be listed, just those that appear in each statistical list and are a main or secondary character in the anime Axis Powers Hetalia, and Hetalia World Series. (Note: Exceptions to the second stipulation are Australia, S. Korea, N. Korea, and Vietnam)
