A questionnaire - Fandoms in different countries
Hello Everyone!
I have a favor to ask for – that’s to fill the questionnaire below.
I’m writing an article for Polish Hetalia FanSite (www.hetalia.org) about fandoms in foreign countries and how people in different countries see Hetalia. Obviously, my knowledge of these is quite limited and therefore I need help of Hetalia fans – you! The questionnaire will consist of around 10 questions and will ask about more general view on certain topics within your country rather than your own. It will take you only about 15 minutes to complete – only few sentences of an answer will be enough! - But it will be such a great help for me!
So here goes the questionnaire:
1) What country are you from?
2) Was your country already made a character of Hetalia?
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?
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?
5) Can you define who is the most popular character of Hetalia in your country?
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?
7) What is the most common view on the character of Poland? Is the Feliks, how he was created by the author, easily accepted?
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?
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?
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?
And that is it :D!
Thank you all for taking part in this questionnaire! It means a lot!

no subject
1) What country are you from?
Portugal
2) Was your country already made a character of Hetalia?
No, but there are some unoffical sketches made by Himaruya, so I hope one day it will be~!
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?
------
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?
No, but there are a lot of OCs used in fanfiction, drawings and cosplays, but usually only by its maker.
5) Can you define who is the most popular character of Hetalia in your country?
I would say it's England, because if I remember correctly it had the most cosplayers in the last convention I went to. France, Prussia, Russia and Hungary are also really popular. Plus Italy (both south and north) and... I think Iceland or China.
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?
Hmm... probably GermanyxNorth Italy, USUK, FrUK, SuFin... I really think it's the same as in most other countries.
7) What is the most common view on the character of Poland? Is the Feliks, how he was created by the author, easily accepted?
I think so. I mean, I really love him and no one I've ever talked to about Hetalia disliked him, so I assume most people like him.
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?
I can't really tell how many, but I can say it is a really liked fandom in my country, because whenever I go to conventions I tend to see a lot of cosplayers from Hetalia and a lot of Hetalia merchandise. Also, we celebrated Hetalia Day last year.
We do have a main site where most people go to and there are quite a few Hetalia-related posts there, but since I don't really go there regulary I can't say much more about it.
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?
From what I see, the humorous part of the manga is talked about much more than the historical part. Actually, I don't remember seeing anyone taking it too seriously. Everyone just loves how funny the characters are.
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?
I can't remember any, sorry.
