Ever since Axis Powers Hetalia came out, quite a few other people have tried doing similar things- most notably, and successfully (or at least persistently) Scandanavia and the World, drawn by a Danish artist who strongly disagreed with the pretty-boy Hetalia portrayal of Europe's Frozen North.
Recently she actually did a breakdown of four of the most prominent regions in Denmark- Sjylland, Jutland, Fyn, and Bornholm- as separate characters, Sjylland being the face of Denmark as a unified entity. (Not the first time she's done this- the most notable example being the character of Aland as separate from both Finland and Sweden.)
She went on to say, "If you want separate regions of your country done, do it yourself- you know their idiosyncracies best."
