Sealand isn't presented as important, it's presented precisely because it's so ridiculous. He's presented as a little kid who keeps trying to get the other nations to take him seriously. And even learning about seemingly trivial facts is still learning. But there may be other countries that people learn about, or haven't heard of before (or have forgotten about, because it wasn't really important to their everyday lives and/or study.)

Most people know about the big things already, but they don't know the little things, especially in countries where their own history spans centuries and centuries and encompassed a good chunk of the world (I have seen some fellow Americans getting all huffy and offended about the fact that English students weren't taught in detail about the American civil rights movement!). In cases like this, someone is going to have to do some cherry picking even for those official history classes.

The problem is, people seem to be taking Hetalia as a step by step humorous retelling of WWII. It's not, it's little different than a comic strip in a newspaper, referring to various little snippets of history/culture/opinions here and there, and it isn't even just about WWII and it isn't always funny.

It's accessible to people who were never really good at history and people who are. So many fans have used a four panel strip as a jumping point to learn something more about History, and I'm failing to see WHY you consider this a bad thing. Not everybody is a history or geography graduate, nor should everybody be one. People learn in different ways. Some people are good at learning from dry old history texts, others aren't. Some people learn better through a more practical approach, others don't. Some find it easier to use humor, others don't. I just don't understand why you get to be the the one who decides exactly how and why everyone should learn some History and Geography and exactly what every one should be offended by?

I'm not saying you have to like it, or even not to be offended, but I think you need to let go of this 'holier than thou' attitude to towards those who do, or those who feel they have learned something because of Hetalia or the fandom.

What!? 'Holier than thou?' Don't be riduculous, everyone who takes history seriously is in 100% agreement with childings and everything they say. We wouldn't be real history majors or enthusiasts otherwise! Their word is law and you best get used to it. It would simply make far too much sense for them to do something like...not comment about a series they hate on nearly every single thread regarding it on a livejournal community.
