For America... if it was a Brooklyn accent, then I can already foresee a lot of "BROOKLYN RAGE!!" jokes popping up. I'm definitely rooting for an accent from one of the original thirteen states (modern day, of course), though. It seems like it would make more sense to have an accent from somewhere that's been part of the U.S. longer, as opposed to one from a state like California (though a Californian accent would definitely give me something to lord over non-Californian Hetalia fans~ Ha ha~).

And then with England... how I've always thought of his accent working is that he has a "posh" British accent when he's in gentleman mode, but it slips whenever he's angry or drunk. FUNi probably wouldn't do that, but a girl can hope. *shrug*
