Hetalia: Nationalistic pride?

[kawaiihoto.livejournal.com]

Ever since I've started reading Hetalia I have been generating opinions about countries in general [like Russia's scariness!]; I myself am chilean, therefore my country is not portrayed in hetalia.

I was wondering how those people who have their countries personified into characters feel. Do they feel stereotyped? Identified? Proud?

I don't know if this counts as spam, since this is neither fanart or a fanfic; just a discussion thread pursuing to know what nationalistic feelings Hetalia generates, specially since this community is composed of international members.

The world map? My friends from California had to ask me where Oregon was. They thought I was in a new timezone and all xD
