Taken from Wiki. watch the episodes here!
Hetalia: Axis Powers is a manga and anime series by Hidekaz Himaruya placed in a World War-era setting in which the countries are represented by anthropomorphic characters. Hetalia is a made-up word combining hetare — Japanese for useless — and Italia. This is to make light of Italy's apparent cowardice during World War II.
Himaruya originally created Hetalia as an online webcomic, and so far two tankōbon have been published by Gentosha Comics, the first on March 28, 2008 and the second on December 10, 2008. The series was later adapted into drama CDs, and an anime series created by Studio Deen has also began streaming online.
The main historical events portrayed in this work occur between World War I and World War II. The series often uses satire and comedy to address well-known and lesser-known historical fact.
HETALIA! (also called AH, or A-H) is a proboards roleplaying website based on this manga/anime. The Countries of today are represented by people, whom you roleplay as. And of course, should you gain permission, you may even create a new country with the approval of the person/country that would be it's elder brother. You may also roleplay as representations regions or states - which would be family members of the country itself.
Example: New Country Belgrade would be the younger brother of Germany, whom is still in control of his family. But when Germany gets too old, or Belgrade takes over as Family Head, the world will recognize Belgrade as Germany's successor.
Admin Approval & Country approval needed. Should have a plausible history and reasoning.
While the original Hetalia takes place after WWI, our plot takes place a few decades in the future during world war three.
NOTE: roleplaying in other continents is fine, so long as you have a reason to be there. Whether it be to see another country, or just chill out and create alliances. Otherwise, if your country isn't from that continent, you should stay in your own.
Imagine this site as one of those political sites, where you play the role as a ruler of a kingdom, and go against others for your countries goals. This would be the same, except with characters representing those countries, and each country has a boss they take orders from. Some may wonder how this may be turned into a good rp as it would be most likely considered fluff- though it doesn't always have to be fluffy. Countries fight, death occurs (with owner approval), and things take a turn and shape into the future. You control the future of a country, play it as you see fit.
NOTE: in the case of wars, NPC troops are just random. it will mostly be your character vs another... a lot of times, or your allies.
