Hetalia: Northernlands Edition

Hetalia: Northernland Edition (or simply Northernlands Hetalia) is an unofficial spinoff of the popular Japanese manga/anime *Hetalia.* Its characters are personifications of the nations in Northernlands. The Northernlands Hetalia universe exists in three different mediums: a roleplay open to the region, a series of short stories written by Republic Of Canador, and an in character manga series written in Kanadorika.

## Origin

Northernlands Hetalia can trace its origins to a similar thread created by Republic of Canador's original account, Union of Canadorian Socialists Republic. The thread was based on the same concept as Northernlands Hetalia, only using the nations of the region ISSU. In August of 2015, Republic of Canador created a Hetalia character based off of his nation of Kanadorika. Other nations followed suit and created their own characters, which Republic of Canador collected in a Factbook entry. on January 22, 2016 Republic of Canador authored the region's first Hetalia thread, titled *Northernlands Hetalia Thread!.* The thread was posted in the NationStates subforum of NationStates forum.

### Characters

#### Iverik Empire

(Main Article Iverik Empire Character)

Iverik is a very strong but mentally unstable nation. He has both
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and as a result, he must live
through one of his two personas.

Iverik's first persona is that
of a weak and submissive man. He is completely unaware of the outside
world around him and has delusions that he is being pursued by a demon.
Iverik's other persona is a dominating and sadistic man who can
subconsciously manipulate Iverik and the first persona even when it is
not directly in control of his body. The second persona is constantly
paranoid about maintaining its power over Iverik, and will inflict self
bodily harm if it believes that it is loosing control over his body.

#### Kanadorika

other nations in the region. She is a rather mysterious person, and when
 she does appear with others, she has a very antisocial and observant

strongest of nations. She generally views other nations with mistrust,
and at times even feels disgusted by their actions and supposed
incompetence.
