1) What country are you from? Canada!! (I'll try my best to speak for the Prarie Provences! I think we're a lot different compared to places like Ontario or Quebec on the subject of Hetalia.)
2) Was your country already made a character of Hetalia? Yes
3) If it was, how fans in your country reacted to that personification? Do you guys like it or is there something you would like to change in it? Personally, I like it, but I know a few fans who say he's a bit of a 'wimp'.
4) If not, is there an ‘official’ OC that was made in your fandom in place of your missing country? How does it looks like, how does it reflect upon your country's features? N/A
5) Can you define who is the most popular character of Hetalia in your country? Probably Ukraine or Germany because of the heavy influence they have in our cultural history (family immigrants).
6) What about the pairings? Is there any pairings that seems to be liked by the most of people in your country or is it very divided? It's hard to say, because pairings are more of a personal view.
7) What is the most common view on the character of Poland? Is the Feliks, how he was created by the author, easily accepted? Definately. Some aspects more than others though, but most of the fanbase knows that it's all in joke.
8) How does the fandom in your country works? Do you have any particular site or a forum that most of fans seem to use? Can you tell how many Hetalia fans, approximately, there is in your country? Mm, probably LJ. I'd never be able to estimate how many fans there are, to be honest.
9) Is Hetalia seen more of a humorous manga that shouldn’t be taken seriously? Is many people trying to apply actual historical meaning to it? Depends on the fan, really. Although it's fun to joke around in it's humour, it's also nice to enjoy the history involved.
10) Is there any popular memes (for example: Iceland's white boots, Hotland’s…pardon me, Netherlands’ tulips etc.), sayings, tags that you see as common only in your country? If Norway's curling pants count, then sure! Other than that, the Tulip Festival from the Netherlands.
