History YMMV / ScandinaviaAndTheWorld

** Norway and Denmark, who have the best friendship between any two of the characters, with Denmark frequently doing things like clinging to Norway, frequently worrying about him and even sleeping in the same bed when one or both of them is/are drunk. This one is probably intentional on Denmark's part.

** France. She only [[https://satwcomic.com/the-world/France appeared]] in 25 strips so far out of hundreds (as of September 2023) but the sheer amount of [[http://satwcomic.com/fanart fanart and cosplay of her]] decidedly makes her one of the most popular minor characters.

** The relationship between Netherland / Denmark / Germany seems to parody this as, it frequently involves the first two lifting Germany's shirt as a joke, usually in front of [[YaoiFangirl Sister Japan]].

** France. She only appeared in 25 strips so far out of hundreds (as of September 2023) but the sheer amount of [[http://satwcomic.com/fanart fanart and cosplay of her]] decidedly makes her one of the most popular minor characters.

** France. She only appeared in 17 strips so far (out of hundreds) but the sheer amount of [[http://satwcomic.com/fanart fanart and cosplay of her]] decidedly makes her one of the most popular minor characters.

** After [[http://satwcomic.com/coat-of-arms Coat Of Arms]] came out, the other lions were quickly forgotten, but Special Lion became a fan favorite and has stuck around. There's even official [[TheMerch merch]] with him on it!

* FriendlyFandoms: With , ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}'' due to sharing a similar premise and tone. It also helps that both series are [[EnemyMine united in a shared dislike]] for the aforementioned ''Hetalia''.

* FandomRivalry: With ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}''. While they have many similar elements, they're very different in execution on the whole, with more than a few ''Polandball'' fans accusing ''Scandinavia'' of sugarcoating history and of pandering to {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s. ''Scandinavia'' fans, meanwhile, shoot back that ''Polandball'' is unimaginative and full of unsavory politics due to the ease of anyone in making a comic.

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: In-universe. [[https://satwcomic.com/metal Denmark is insufficiently metal.]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[http://satwcomic.com/the-boogeyman-comes-at-night This comic]] is, with the [[MakeTheBearAngryAgain Crimean Crisis]], quite... unfortunately relevant.

* HarsherInHindsight: Humon's portrayal of a drunken Russia stumbling around banging on the doors of his former territories, begging them to come back (though in the comic itself he went after Finland, not Ukraine).

* CriticalResearchFailure: For the ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' strip, Japan gets America interested in ''Pokémon'' again by creating the app and giving it to him. The only problem here is that Niantic, the creators of the app, is an American company to begin with, and they had partnered with Game Freak to make it. Then again, it's not like [[http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/25/12269466/nintendo-stock-plunge-pokemon-go other companies haven't made that same mistake...]]

** Sister Japan. Before being introduced, the fan club had a large number of submissions speculating what she'd look like, Humon introduced her just to get it out of the way, and a popular character was born.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Finland. He's not villainous, but he's an unkempt, antisocial KnifeNut (emphasis on "Nut"). The fans tend to drop the "unkempt" part and forget the others are bad things.
