For a suggestion of other trivia questions, you could ask which nations were originally intended to be portrayed as the opposite gender!

And so let's see about those questions you posted:

1. America, Canada, Hong Kong, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Seychelles, Cyprus (he doesn't have a design but he exists in Hetalia!). If we counted the barely-there African nations in Gakuen Hetalia, we would get Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, and Botswana. Part of Cameroon was also British territory after the German Empire's colonization (and the other part went to France).

2. If we go by the final dissolution for history, France. But the Holy Roman Empire was sort of redundant and useless after so many of its states got independence anyway. If we assume France had something to hide in the strips too, he'd be the one.

3. Scotland, Wales, and...an Ireland. Himaruya still considers it Northern Ireland, though that's strange. For your other two, I'd think either France (for how they seem to have him around little England in strips, though of course history's a lot darker XD: ) and little America (his "brother" via colonization), but there is also Sealand who's technically part of him and not a real country, so a sort of brother.

4. 50. Alaska and Hawaii were not added as states until 1959, so that would be the blooper.

5. Spain, Prussia, and France. Sometimes Romano is counted since he's Spain's henchman, but when it comes to "pathetic groupings", Denmark winds up paired in too.

6. America and Canada ("brothers" in-strip, the whole biological thing is another debate), North and South Italy, Prussia and Germany, Cyprus and TRNC, Iceland and Norway, Russia and his sisters, the four UK brothers...hmm.
