I think it's a matter of how they're treated in the fanfic - if the author uses the human name, then assume they're human. If the author uses the country name, then assume they're a Nation.
Maybe you can give them Bleeprin and send them on their way.
Here's A Result of Love, a Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic... or should I say badfic? The grammar deteriorates as you go along, Arthur (England) is so OOC it makes me cry, and THE ASSBABY. PLEASE, NOT THE ASSBABY.
For those who don't know Hetalia, it's a manga/anime about personified Nations. There is a lot of slash in this fandom (so I've developed a taste for it, but that's a different story), and one of the most popular pairings is America/England. This particular fic is America/England done so badly that I'm hoping it's a troll.
And as for that Allen fellow? He's a minor character who appear in one of the anime episodes looking like a cross between America and England - so of course the rest of the fandom latches onto that and... I'm not going to continue ranting.
So please, if you write for the DBS and you know Hetalia, please take this fic (and link me once you're done debugging Arthur).
This isn't the only chapter of this badfic, because here's a link to the second one:

Oh, and looking at the description...
*Sigh*
*le sigh* I just didn't want to spring so much awfulness on all of you at once.
I wasn't talking about your description. I was talking about that badfic's. Your's is fine, whenever you've left out the second half or not.
(By the way, what's in the description for chapter 1?)
And yes, there are a lot of US/UK fanfics in that fandom... I kinda want to see some other pairing, even though I'm not a yaoi shipper at all.
I know the Hetalia fandom fairly well, although I've been extremely hesitant to go after any badfics there do to the sheer amount of potential WTFery therein. As soon as I finish the Xericka-Gremlin interlude I'm working on, I'll take a shot at it.
Are the characters in question Anthropomorphic Personifications, or something else the PPC would classify them as? Because I've read this page about Discworld's Death: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Death_(Discworld)
According to it, it says: "Due to his nature as an Anthropomorphic Personification, Death cannot be neuralyzed."
I've been wonder about that being in Hetalia canon, since most of the characters are not exactly human, sort to speak. In fact, some of their characteristics correspond with their respective nation, such as them being based off the stereotypes of their own nation and their relationships with their own kind being a bit similar to nations' relantionships with each other.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just want to get this out of my head.
I think it's a matter of how they're treated in the fanfic - if the author uses the human name, then assume they're human. If the author uses the country name, then assume they're a Nation.

Chapter 2 appears to use the country names, but uses the human names in some of the dialogue. Will that have an effect?
Not too sure how the country and human names are used in chapter 1, however, since the site won't let me see that beginning chapter...
I have no idea on how to address that. This could be more problematic then I originally thought.
I know of the Hetalia fandom as well as you, although my knowledge of it is fairly shaky.
Fics like these is the reason why I don't read too much of Hetalia fanfics except when I have nothing else to do. In fact, I'm even afraid to try to read it. Besides, I even don't have an account on Deviantart.
PS: Do you think that a personification of nations having a baby might do something to the continua?
Yeah, I prefer to stay away from the smut. A lot of the historical ones are good... it's just the smut, written by the newbie fangirls, that drive me mad. And USUK's overdone.
Hmm, we've asked that question in the fandom a lot. So far, all we've got for Nation-Nation babies are... perhaps provinces and islands that both nations in question have claim to. So if this kid is born, it might be the Virgin Islands or something. I don't think it stretches the continua unless the child in question is some made-up country.
And what would that make hS? :P
But I don't know the fandom, I'm afraid, so I can't help there.
>_>
Can I be the deinonychus?
