Well, for one: the series is aimed at girls. What better way to get a girl's attention than have a ton of sexy and/or adorable guys?

Also, most countries have "masculine" actions. They make decisions that guys would make, mostly because most of the leaders of countries are male. So it'd make more sense for the nation-tan to be a guy. (I think Hungary's the only exception to this, but she's only female physically...)
