I hope Cyprus appears soon. Himaruya could always draw out The Flag of Cyprus and post it on his blog. That would clear up confusion. Himaruya's procrastination is annoying, though probably nothing that can be helped. I'm not sure what his actual job is, either, or what he's doing. Is he still in New York, or is his location undetermined?

Yeah, seems to be that's how Cameroon came about. I assume he chose the group because it was Japan's. He probably has had Netherlands designed for awhile (also considering that he's in volume 3, so you can factor in a few months at least) and Denmark already existed. Also, Kokolo is so cute.

I think New Zealand will end up being male, either effeminate or rather average. Those 'chibi' versions can really throw people off, just because of the size and general nature. I'm in support of the ram-horn-hair, but it's fine if it's not. I wonder if NZ will have a closer relationship with England or Australia...And I fear it might become another disposable character until Himaruya decides to care. Remember Moldova!!

I remember the redone Monaco strip--it was fun seeing her just...there. At least it's an official introduction (sort of). Was Tibet kept in the final published version, or were those strips never published? Just a random thought. Tibet, like Middle Eastern and African nations, is another one of those touchy ones. With all the controversy, it's difficult to have him as more than a background character. This could apply to Taiwan as well.

I've seen the LJ spam. I started wading through it and quit. I'm hoping that, if Vic is cast, he does well enough. I think people dislike his personality, but it's about learning to judge acting ability. Many people admit Tom Cruise is a bit...crazy, but at the same time acknowledge his abilities as an actor. Vic, to me, is "all right" and nothing to get crazy over.

Oh, and all those people were telling Funimation not to cast him...But, if they listened, doesn't that violate a/several discrimination law(s)?
