Ah, sorry for late reply, been a bit busy!:

Cameroon's design and overall existence is what I'm more intrigued by now, though not gonna lie here, Holland actually having a face was quite the shocker. A silhouette in uniform would have been pretty funny to see, on the other hand (and would have probably unnerved Japan even more).

Well, going by his old update logs that got linked to in a translation request post (as well as comments I've seen around related to his old trivia), he was thinking of designing a NK as far back as 2007. Japanese fandom considers it highly unlikely he'll appear due to a few different factors, but a few fans would rather that Himaruya change his mind and make NK a girl instead of a guy if he ever introduces them (I'm guessing it'd be "cuter" for them. Not saying NK can't be a girl, but they've felt a lot like more of a male character in my head. A "reverse trap" NK would be pretty interesting though...)

At this point, we'd probably be more likely to see Albania or Czechoslovakia (however he chooses to design him/her/them) than the other half of Korea. Though I'd like to see Romania already, really.
