Uncertain[]
In The Battle for America, an unlabeled man with a beard, presumably a king, is sitting in a throne behind France and England while they argue. It is unclear whether this panel takes place during the War of the Austrian Succession or the Seven Years' War, and it is also unclear where they are, as the next panel has Austria telling them to stop fighting in other people's houses. Thus, it is uncertain who this king is intended to be.

Notes About Bosses:
- When a Nation refers to their "boss", this most likely means their current leader/head of state, such as a president, monarch, prime minister, or other leader. They do not appear often in Hetalia, but are shown during the times of their term/reign and often interact with their respective Nation. Many figures have been named rather than shown. In addition, a number are unnamed in the source material, but who they are supposed to be can be indicated by their appearance or by when the comic takes place.
- Leaders are aware of their country being represented by an immortal human entity, but despite that, they often treat their nation(s) as a subordinate. There have been many instances depicted of leaders withholding information information from their nation, not listening to their nation, or giving their nation orders they are supposed to obey even if they do not wish to do so. Nations do not seem to be unable to disobey these orders, and often do have different opinions or desires from their leaders or do disobey orders, however, fear and force have sometimes been used to keep them in line. Nations themselves also are shown to not have much control over actual government decisions. They may talk to/advise their leaders, but humans make the decisions and Nations are often unable to resist.
- It does depend on the Nation and time period, but several nations are often involved in matters of the government and/or military and work alongside their leaders. In the present day they seem to do a lot of diplomatic work with each other. However, some leaders have limited or prevented their Nations' from doing certain things, or have forced them to do things, one such act being arranging actual marriages between Nations based on political unions.
Other Human Characters[]
These characters are not famous historical people but are important (and fictional) human characters who have appeared in Hetalia.
Davie[]
Child Davie in Davie.
Manga: Davie
Anime: Davie (voiced by Kōhei Amasaki in Japanese and Dallas Reid in English)
Davie was a childhood friend of America. It is unknown exactly when he lived, but it is sometime after 1655 (when England and America met) and before the Revolutionary War began. Most likely the Davie comic takes place over several decades in the early 1700s. In the anime, Davie is depicted with blond hair and blue eyes. In his youth, he was shown wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, dark suspenders, brown pants, and dark shoes. As he got older, he began wearing more adult clothing, and he also grew facial hair in his elder years.
As a child, Davie sees young America sitting alone in a field and introduces himself, and the two quickly become friends. Davie shows America a book he has in his house and they talk about a blue flower that Davie hasn't been able to find. When America goes home in the evening, he says he'll get the flower. By the time America comes back, Davie has grown into a young adult. He is with a friend, who laughs and makes fun of him about the kid coming up to them, and then the two of them turn and walk away, leaving a hurt and confused America behind. America goes to visit Davie again many years later after England finally returned and told him the flower grows in Britain, not the Americas, and that he will get it and return. America wants to find him and tell him the news, but now Davie is a middle aged man with children of his own. It is unsure whether Davie has remembered America or not, but he still treats him with kindness and tells him about his family. America is very confused and leaves upset. When England returns with the flowers, America runs back to Davie's town, where he encounters Davie's grandson, who looks very much like Davie, and he thinks the boy is in fact Davie. The grandson then shows America a coffin where the now deceased Davie is laying. Yet, America is still confused.
Roman Emperor Picture Book Characters[]
These characters are Himaruya's versions of Roman Emperors and other famous Roman figures. The designs are mostly not historically accurate, especially regarding the emperors. They have been "Hetalia-fied" into anime boys, unlike most other historical figures. It is likely that the Roman Emperor Picture Book is more of an alternate universe.
