It doesn't stay in WWII time all the time and just kind of goes all over the world and its history. The author takes interesting pieces of real history or news and makes comics about them, and it always stays funny and friendly. Examples of odd things I learned from hetalia: that the small nation of Sealand tried to sell itself on eBay, that Americans once distributed free oversized condoms to Russians to lower their morale, and that there was a rumor that some Russian soldiers once jumped out of planes with no parachutes because the snow below "looked so soft". It's all hilarious.
