Sunday is the day for us to be honest, and share how exactly we view the character/country. I always post my interpretation of them on Sunday, and I really would appreciate a discussion into what stands out about the character to you!

Thank you!

I've been meaning to draw Ecuador for a while and since he's country of the week this week I figured I'd have a go now!

Loosely based on the sketch Himaruya drew.

Fun fact: Ecuador is home to over 300 species of mammals and 1500 species of birds.

In Hetalia, he was the first South American country to have an official design.

Aph Country Of The Week - Rules and Guidelines

Hi guys, I just want to make the rules for this event clear before the week does start.

1. Do not bring up current politics with the countries in these events - hetalia is not political, and making a character be discriminatory because the government is will not be tolerated in this event.

2. Please tag each of your posts for the event with #aphcountryoftheweek !! It will be easier for me to reshare what has been made by you guys ^^

3. If there is a country anyone wants to be the country of the week, then please send me an ask (anonymously)

4. That being said, please think about what country you are suggesting. I will not be doing a country of the week for countries like Palestine, Yemen, Afghanistan or Lebanon as it feels disrespectful to the people of the countries who are genuinely suffering at the moment

5. Be careful and wary of any stereotypes you may use - there is a very thin line between funny and offensive, so please try not to cross it. If you're confused as to whether or not it could be considered problematic, then I would hold off using said stereotype until Sunday, where you can ask other people on tumblr.

6. Please do try to be supportive of each other - regardless of ships, we are trying to make this fandom a better place and less toxic.

7. And finally rule 7, Participate ^^

Have fun!! And remember, if you have any questions, don't forget to ask
