I own Hetalia as much as i own the world. Which, in case you were wonderng, is not at all... Yet~! *evil laugh*
Many people in this world have special talents, but some, of course, are more special than others. Some are able to be seen very clearly. The ability to draw or sing or write or play sports. Some are more difficult to recognize, such as genius, or creativity. Or magic.
Magic is very hard to recognize unless one knows what to look for. Many don't even know that they posses this gift. Magic is very rare, and it is not a gift that dies easily, and humans are very venerable to sickness and catastrophe. In short, they are very easy to kill.
The universe will not let the gift die, because it is difficult to find people who can carry the gift of magic. So the universe does not let those who can carry the gift truly die so easily as others. When those with the gift of magic die, they are reborn into stronger beings, being which are harder to kill. They are born into the personifications of countries.
Much of the magical abilities that those who are reborn once possessed are lost during the process of being reborn into a "country." Only those who had had the greatest magical ability when they were human are able to actually use their magic. This is why only a couple of the countries today know of their magical abilities.
When a human is reborn into a country, they have no memory of their previous life. It could be because the memory of their human life would interfere with their ability to represent their country properly. It could only be the fact that the process of being reborn simply wipes them out. I can think of no other explanation for the loose of such memories. I believe that these memories are not truly gone, but are simply hidden. "Hidden" being the best word I can think of to describe a situation where a memory is still present, but is not able to be accessed.
Norway and I are the only countries that know of this theory. We think it will be best if we keep it from everyone else, at least until we can prove that it is true. We are working on a way access the deepest recesses of our minds so that we can find the theoretically lost memories, but there is no way on telling how long it will take to perfect this technique.
I may not write in here again for fear that someone would get their hands on it. This theory is potentially very dangerous. This is all for now, and possibly forever.

Hmmm~... Yeah! So, I hope you like m-... I mean... England's theory! Sorry about the strange ending... ^^"
My friend (Pen name: APHmusickitty1415) is writing a fic based off of this theory, so I encourage you to go read it. Its called Flashback.
Anyway, please review and tell me what you think! Is it a good theory?
