Ceras:

I think that with some other countries like mine [the Philippines], they are important enough not to be ignored by Hima-san. But let's give him some time to characterize the existing nations.

I found this wonderful fanart by fir3h34rt

It looks like the North Korea drawn by Lo-Wah was now considered as THE fanon in the Hetalia fandom. If the Korean controversy cooled down for good, at least Himaruya will draw NK loosely based on Lo-Wah's design. Even the Japanese fans are accepting of Lo-Wah's NK. For me, that's fine, as Himaruya had already stated out how would NK would act.

South Africa is often portrayed as black, though there are some who wished that South Africa should be at least a Boer character, but that's fine with me. It would be fine if there was the white South Africa along with Zululand who seems to be the Prussia to South Africa.

And since NZ is introduced before that fanart, it seems that fir3h34rt would revise NZ to the canon one. Times change but at least the New Zealand fans got what they want...

And this video too...
