Spelling Estonia in hiragana in the Bamboo blog is not Himaruya's mistake, I suppose. That way of writing means something funny and lovable, and sometimes shy. He might have done it intentionally. Formally,foreign countries' name are written in Katakana in Japanese,though in Hetalia world country names are treated as character names. Himaruya-sensei loves them so much to feel them as his close relatives.
