I agree. I love that Himaruya is shedding some spotlight on lesser known nations/micronations. Seborga and Wy are adorable beyond words. But really, I have been waiting a fairly long time for a Mexico to become canon. Being Mexican myself, I guess I just want that Nation-tan to get some love. ;w; I mean, Mexico was briefly mentioned in a drama CD, and Alfred had a map where he drew a half-assed Mexico on it, and he holds a grudge against Mexico because of the Alamo, which makes it that much more interesting to see how Mexico and America would act around each other. Personally, I'm dying for Mexico to be a male, because I think it would be a lot funnier if that country was as such. I don't think America would hold such a strong grudge towards a female nation, so having Mexico as a guy would be just great. Plus, reading a bit on Mexico's relations with other nations, I think it would make more sense to portray that country as a male, but that's just me. ^^;

I'm really interested in how Mexico would interact with Spain. I don't think he'd like Spain very much. xD I can just see Spain trying to dote on him and then Mexico getting all angry and threatening. I think if Mexico were added to the series, it would get a lot funnier. I can see him as a funny but charming guy, who happens to be handsome to boot. xD

India I think would be more suited to be a female, and I've already seen plenty of fanart of her, which are wonderful. Same thing with Mexico. There's this design for him that I reeeaaaally love and hopefully, if Mexico is a male, he'll look similar to that. I would still like to see England's older brothers, Scotland and Wales too. I'm glad that there are African nations, but it would be nice to see them in at least one strip. And having Middle Eastern Nation-tans would be good too, especially Israel (who I think should be a female for some reason). Hmm...Philippines would be nice, and a Puerto Rico, Portugal, Brazil, El Salvador...

So...in my headcanon...Mexico is a male and India is a female. Yeah. Hopefully, when these two Nation-tans are created, they'll be that gender!

Yep. I hope sometime in the near future, Himaruya will create a few of these and include them in the comic! But in the meantime, while I'm waiting for a Mexico and India, I'll enjoy any other new Nation-tans he happens to design. :3
