My favorite Filipino anime reference so far is Alimango Island from Fate/Zero. Alimango literally means crab in Tagalog, and a quick google search will show that there is an Alimango island in PH. They captured what a typical Filipino island village can look like, complete with stray dogs, nipa huts, and a basketball court. Once Kiritsugu Emiya's home and a large part of his backstory.

While the German and Italian united countries are very young, that's really not how the history of the NATIONS is perceived. They usually start with the Battle of Teutoburger Forest and the Roman conquest of the whole peninsula respectively.

In my case I'm from a little dot on the map called the Canary Islands, we are part of Spain (though there's a lot of differences in our culture, the way we speak yadda yadda yadda) and we have next to 0 representation in films, shows and such. So I think it's quite easy to say I was fucking shocked to find out DIO's corpse is found near the Canary Islands and that Lisa Lisa is proposed by George in Las Palmas. Right now, I'm going through Gundam (from 0079 to the current ones) and they've mentioned the Canary Islands TWICE already, and I know for sure the last movie also mentions them. Let's just say animangas from the 80s had a thing for us lol.

I mean, in fairness to "new" countries like Canada/US/Australia is that there is history there, but its all in the aboriginal communities that have been around way way longer. Like yeah sure those particular countries histories are short, but that's 'cause they took over the countries that were already there and had much longer more complicated stories that you could definitely dig into! Australia's aboriginal community has one of the oldest oral traditions of history and story telling in the world! Possibly THE oldest. The history is there, you just gotta ask the right people.

problem is that history told by word of mouth is quickly distorted, likewise with paper but at least we get some form of evidence from multiple sources most of the time

There aren't many belgian anime characters out there but eh, I guess it's still a lot better than other countries. Ones that I know: Isabelle du Monceau de Bergendal from Strike Witches, Rosetta Passel from Kaleido Star, Belgium from Hetalia, and maybe Laurent Thierry from Great Pretender, yeah he is french but he was born in Brussels and speaks french like me so I don't mind, he is my belgian bro I did some research and it seems there are more belgian characters, for example in the Upotte! series, that makes me happy, Belgium in kinda well represented after all Anyway, as there are way more french characters in anime, I tend to refer as them by default, given that we speak the same language and our cultures are similar

As a Dutch guy, I've seen only 2 Dutch characters in anime: The Netherlands in Hetalia (of course), and the Dutch VOC gay guy in Samurai Champloo. The only anime where I've heard my own language in. And it seems they used a native speaker as well. Well, not for that character, but for his friends.

Recently I am reading a manga called Issak about a samurai who went to europe to recover a special musket made by his master that was stolen from his fellow samurai disicple.

The best our small country can hope for now seems to be small mentions. And I googled Dutch, and you are right. He is American.
