Hetalia: Axis Powers (ヘタリア Axis Powers, Hetaria Akushisu Pawāzu) is a Japanese webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekaz Himaruya. The series' main presentation is as a comedic allegory of political and historic events as well as more general cultural comparisons. Characters are personifications of countries and regions.  

Nekotalia originated from a strip in Hetalia: Axis Powers Volume 3 and several images and other comics by Hidekaz Himaruya in which the nations have cats that share similar personalities and features to them. These cats appear to be owned by the nations they represent and they all are referred to with "cat" following their nation's name, seemingly to have them represent the nation as well. The term Nekotalia derives from neko, the Japanese word for "cat" and talia, from Hetalia, the name of the base series. Fans often refer to them as neko [nation name]. The cats are somewhat comparable to Mochi, in that they are alternate versions of characters that also exist in the main universe. It is not said what breeds each cat is, but fans have speculated ideas based on their appearances.
