This set from the politically astute anime series Hetalia Axis Powers includes episodes 28-52 of the show, presenting each of the major powers in the world as characters on a reality show - from the shy Japanese guy, to the passionate Italian. Each character both satirizes stereotypes about their home country, and challenges preconceived notions about nationhood and politics.
