It's World War I, and all countries are at war. Germany is in search for Italy, Rome's grandson, and take him captive. Instead... he finds a box of tomatoes? Oh, no, it's just useless Italy hiding. But there was one detail someone forgot to mention. Italy is annoying. So Germany couldn't be happier when he got rid of Italy at the end of war. Now it is World War II, everything is going smoothly with Germany's invasion, when the worst thing possible happens. Italy becomes Germany's ally. And this is how our story begins. From Baka-Updates: Think of it like WWII, except every country is a pretty boy instead. A hilariously stereotypical pretty boy. America loves burgers, Russia is into the vodka, and China has pandas and a Wok. It is centered mostly around Italy, who has both a North and South character. The "Hetalia" portion of the name is probably mocking Italy, as "hetare" means "useless." (The master list and profiles, including extras and specials, can be found here. It is highly recommended that new readers start with the 'Main Storyline Index' as they're from the original webcomic source, and therefore slightly different from the edited volumes contents.)

During the war, Germany was surprised to see the descendant of Ancient Rome pledging allegiance. When Germany met North Italy, the once-proud empire had become a weak, pasta-loving person that left Germany speechless. Adding to Germany's confusion, Japan, his only other ally, was puzzling and had equally strange tastes. As Germany struggled to deal with his unorthodox partners, the Allies arrived at his doorstep, ready for a fight. Hetalia Axis Powers is a comical interpretation of the events of World War I and II. Using personified nations and humor, the series explores the relationships between countries and includes amusing cultural references, providing a fresh and entertaining perspective on history.

Official Hetalia AU. \"This world, although similar to the one we know of, is just slightly different. Data-wise, it\'s pretty much the same thing, just a lot more punk and grunge-like this time. 200 crowded districts, each with a unique culture and history of their own, each with a boss in charge, in a spinning circle of harmony and chaos. Yet a new disruption was about to arise.\"
An offshoot of the original Hetalia - Axis Powers work, Hetalia - World Starts follows the strange personifications of Italy and other nations as they navigate their world.
