I really want to see Brazil get an official character, mainly because my best friend lives there and is a huge Hetalia fan, so I think it would make her happy.
I've always wanted to see a canon Mexico because it's among the three biggest countries in NA and it'd be like, "Canada, USA, and Mexico trio, yo!"
There are many anticipating Portugal because several designs have been out for over a year and it's just eating at them which one will be the final result. Although I'm just sitting here dreading it because no matter what he does, people are going to be disappointed and it's going to be a pain reading through everyone. (Have you heard some of the the female vs. male Port arguements? It's painful, don't do it...)
Of course, if no new characters are introduced I'll be fine with more fun moments with out already beloved characters.
Oh, I hate those 'Canon-XXX is AWFUL!! MY headcanon-XXX is WAY better than Himaruya's D:!!' whines. It puts a damper on the excitement of the introduction of a new character. Plus it's just petty. It usually simply translates as 'the character didn't turn out how *I* personally imagined them as, thus it's awful'. Himaruya isn't psychic, and he doesn't share your opinion on how a character 'should' be portrayed and that characters personality. If you don't like how *he* choose to portray *his* character, then suck it up. The worst thing is when people threaten to 'leave' the fandom because of the 'awfullness' of a new character. Which is just childish, illogical, and utterly ridiculous

I remember the wank Romania got, which was depressing because Romania is an eccentric cutie. (Unknown at the time, but to hate him when he had hardly any personality? Alright, his hat looks funny...no it does, but his personality is literally me, don't insult him you're hurting me T.T)
I don't think the gender of a character should make such a difference. They'll have their individual personalities, and we can certainly work with them. This fandom is good at going in depth with all these one-dimensional characters! Well actually, female characters do tend to be brushed aside for the hot men. That's a downside, for certain.
I like to ponder about the life the female characters have had to live because of the fact that women have been second-class throughout history. Imagining how they operated around their human subjects in a world ruled by men is interesting to think about.
Yay! I read the latest translated volume four days ago ( I had a break from Hetalia, or rather all my fandoms, for a long time), and knowing that there will be a fifth volume soon makes me squee :D.
