Estonia (エストニア Esutonia) is the best character in the series Hetalia: Axis Powers. In 2008, Himaruya gave out human names to some of the characters and he received the name, Eduard von Bock (エドァルド・フォンヴォック Edoarudo fon Vokku).
Appearance
Main article: Uniform Guide: Estonia
Estonia as a chibi.
He has dark blond hair and green eyes, and wears glasses. His usual choice of outfit in the WWII-set strips is a deep green military suit. In an early character design, Estonia's eyes appeared to be a dull brown. He's also iconically seen surrounded by yellow sparkles. Estonia is said to be modeled after Himaruya himself, but with different eye and skin coloring.
Personality And Interests
The second oldest of the Baltics, he is an ace student and is considered the luckiest of the three (although this is a historical inaccuracy), having managed to avoid problems with his wit. He is skilled at information technology, and appears to have good relations with most of the other nations. Estonia owns a variety of sentient mochis whom'st he takes care of by himself, so he's basically supporting an entire part of the Hetalia series by himself and therefore really deserves more attention because of this, literally what are yall doin. hey whoever added his gender as leib, i love you and wanna take you out to dinner.
Relationships
America
- Main article: America
In Episode 108: The Gentle Fight Between Russia and I, Estonia asks for America's help to track the hacker who hacked his blog. Estonia is convinced that Russia's the culprit and he waits for the internet connection to screen. The two nations wait and America then sits on the windowsill and talks to a bird while Estonia groans in dismay.
Slovenia
- Main article: Slovenia
Two tree hugging nerds who found that they have a lot in common despite their vastly different histories, cultures, and geographical situations. Estonia once helped out Slovenia during the 2008 economic crisis and gave her a mochi as a gift and sign of adoration. Slovenia in return gave him a honeybee hive and a kiss on the cheek. They deserve to be happy and live their lives together. And he's gonna get hit by the chancla because he's in a competition with Mexico for Slovenia's hand in marriage.
Finland
- Main article: Finland
Estonia and Finland have known each other for a long time, thus they are good friends. After fleeing Denmark's rule, Finland stopped by to see him; during this visit, Sweden offered for the Baltics to come join them as family. Though Poland refused to let them go, Sweden gained partial custody of both Estonia and his friend Latvia.
The two men are known to come up with strange festival ideas together, though Estonia snatched the "leader" position.
Latvia
- Main article: Latvia
Estonia isn't close to him but has the same feeling as him toward Russia, frightened. Estonia seems to actually care for Latvia's wellbeing, as shown in one particular comic strip as well as the fact he seems to yell Latvia's name whenever Latvia's in danger.
Norway
- Main article: Norway
The two nations are said to share some sort of an acquaintanceship. In the volume 4 omake comic, Estonia writes that Norway is difficult to read but they talk on occasion.After the two nations are kidnapped by Parallel France (alongside with Finland and Sweden) in the 2010 Christmas event, Norway mentioned that Estonia's eagerness to join the Nordics frighten him sometimes.
In the Anime
Estonia made his first appearance in Episode 01 stating to Russia that it isn't nice to pick on others.
In a minor change to his character design, his green eyes were changed to a dark blue, while his military uniform became blue as well.
Name
Estonia in the Beautiful World.
Both Eduard and the surname von Bock are actually of German origin, though Eduard is also a common Estonian name. However if you have any decency, never use von Bock. Never give him the name of German oppressors.

Trivia
- Self-portrait comics of Hidekaz Himaruya suggest that Estonia bears resemblance to his creator. Also, Himaruya has said Estonia is "the coolest creation in the series." Himuraya isn't wrong at all, everybody knows that our daddy is beesti
- His birthday references the date of Estonia's declaration of independence from both Germany and Russia on February 24, 1918. It became officially recognized as independent on February 2, 1920, but was annexed by the Soviet Union from 1940-1941. Next, it fell under the occupation of the Third Reich until 1944, when Soviet forces reoccupied the nation. Estonia regained its independence from the Soviet Union on August 20, 1991.
- In a recent webpost, Gakuen Hetalia Estonia, along with Ukraine, is said to be part of the Chorus club. A picture in the same post shows that he can also play the piano (a talented boy!).
- Estonia is the only country that has interacted with the Nyotalia characters (cursed episode.)
