The series presents an allegorical interpretation of political and historic events, particularly of the World War II era, in which the various countries are represented by anthropomorphic characters. Hetalia (ヘタリア?) is a portmanteau combining hetare (へタレ?, Japanese for "useless") and Italia (イタリア?). This is to make light of Italy's apparent cowardice during World War II. 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 historical events as well as historical and cultural trivia. Historical political and military interaction between countries is allegorically represented in Hetalia as social and romantic interaction between the characters; the webcomic version in particular depicts military and economic incursions using various innuendo. An English Adaption was announced to release on September 28, 2010 and all characters will have appropriate accents and will be rated TV-MA.

 

Awesome or not?

yeah. a lot of countries were missing bcuz some aren't world wide known for being in WWI or WWII. It does have a selection of characters, picking out some, less popular(No offense) countries. But to my surprise they did leave out a lot of famous ones from South America including Chile and Peru. But they did have Argentina and Brazil in like two episodes.
