Oh yeah, I know that strip. :3 I've been having multiple discussions about Bavaria's existence, but talking strictly about other countries' prejudices about Germany, they mostly picture Bavarians, with Lederhosen and everything. WHICH leads me to my theory of Himuraya doing exactly the same, even though he knows that Bavaria is not Germany. @.@

But yeah, I tend to go with those hints as well. They just look too alike and act too alike. Also, HRE seemed to be pretty possessive as well, so let's just say that it's a German treat? At least speaking about Hetalia...
