I think Hetalia does portray the relationship between the Us and the Uk brilliantly, and I believe strongly that this special relationship will last a lot longer than what the media says.
However I agree with claprov, during the revolution the british people wanted America broken off from the empire (something about a waste of money)but Hetalia keeps on dwelling on this which is annoying as it is not necessarily true to the british. I couldn't care less about losing America in the empire. Then again in Hetalia it shows Arthur and Alfred and how close their relationship, so maybe thats why.
I am surprised though that the makers of Hetalia have not made Arthur upset and angry at Alfred for being late in both wars or losing his empire which most british people do not like to be reminded of. Also I am surprised that the makers have not also made Arthur thankful to Alfred for saving us in WWII (Thanks by the way!) as most british people are very thankful for.
Though the special relationship and the portraials of the counrties has made me proud of being Biritsh, we may not have a great past, but every counrty has that. It has also saved me a lot of times in History tests!
But in both reality and in Hetalia the UK will always be there for America in sickness and in health! (just realised thats the vow for a marriage!)
