Nah, the little Japan and China strips have never been reprinted or redrawn, so we haven't seen Tibet show up in the published version at all. If those strips ever did get revised, Himaruya would probably do the panda-censorship route like the anime.

Yeeeahhh, the pro-Vic vs. anti-Vic debates are so old now but this is only the start of the next ticking timebomb of the dub-wank. I forgot though, him being America would make the community explode more (and that's the role they were paranoid over to begin with). I wonder where people get all of their gifs from, I'm seeing a lot of strange ones D:

As far as I know, Himaruya's been back in Japan since early '09, barring any trips outside the country. He did say he wanted to visit Nantucket again and to visit Taiwan, which made some fans hope that he'd draw more of Taiwan-the-character soon. The map chibis are pretty hard to make some judgments from, they have a little less detail put into them than usual (funny that he drew the Italies as naked ones though).

Besides Moldova, Bulgaria's clearly forgotten. And Japan's other -hans. I doubt we'll get more of Saxony, Bavaria, or the other Germanics but it would be interesting. I've always wondered who the random female African nation with France in that one illustration was meant to be too (the colonies footnote for "Lithuania's Outsourcing").
