another John Bull one

>John Bull sitting on a rock facing a dilemma; across a narrow body of water is a man holding a sword labeled "Kurd Atrocities" and a handgun, about to strike a kneeling woman labeled "Armenia". John Bull has a bag hanging from his shoulder labeled "Turkish Revenues" containing "Turkish Bonds" and "Turkish Loans", and in his pocket is a paper labeled "Suez Canal Stock", at his feet is a cashbox labeled "£.s.d."; he is worried that if he interfers with Turkish affairs, it might jeoparize their financial relations.

I think the difference is that Hetalia is more about the characters who are more just a bag of stereotypes based on their name sake country
National personification are a lot more political, pretty much every post here has something to do with politics and were made during eras where concepts of nation states were far more popular and taken seriously
