I'm on a roll! Another Hetalia-related work. I'll get both this and the other one coloured soon.

EDIT: COLOURED !

Now for some history! So many dates!

New Holland (Nova Hollandia) was the name given to Australia by the Dutch, who beat the British in discovering the Land Down Under by 144 years, in 1644. Except neither the Dutch nor the French bothered colonising this piece of sunburnt land. So when the British colonised/invaded Australia back in 1788, it was still known as such, and would be until 1824.

*Azumizai and I have talked about how young Australia is compared to the "New World" UK colonies; the USA (then only a collection of thirteen states) declared its independence from the UK in 1776 (and won it in 1781), but Canada didn't follow suit until 1867 (and even then it became the "Dominion of Canada"; full independence wasn't achieved until 1982). Australia gained full independence shortly afterwards in 1986.

So this translated into Hetalia-verse would be like England bringing back a baby Australia not long after America moved out of home after a huge fight with dad, while a young-teenage-ish Canada still lived with England.

This one took a lot less time, even after I'd gone through with researching clothing of the relevant era! Nice and boring composition, that's what.

I love Himaruya for giving Oz a drop bear.

Axis Powers Hetalia, Matthew/Canada (and Kumajirou), Arthur/England and Australia (and his awesome drop bear buddy) belong to Himaruya Hidekaz. I draw characters, not countries. Please don't take offence.
