Just stumbled onto it there while randomly searching youtube and it has to be one of the strangest yet appealing ideas for an anime I have read about in a while.
It personafies all the countries of the world from the beginning of this century as anime characters and focuses mostly on Italy as a coward as he travels around with germany and Japan while fighting with the allied powers, a fair few random countries show up as they turn historical events into character interaction (such as america being England's son.) and is done in a style very much like azumanga daoih, short 5 minute episodes with no real plot beyond covering some historical events and some random elements (Roman Empire being Italy's grandfather who randomly shows up as a ghost.)
To get an idea of how they represent the countries I present youtubes countdown of them all (I think, I only found this 20 minutes ago)
I have yet to find out if Ireland has shown up in it.
But its one of those strange little animes that appeals to me because of its historical/political satire mixed with out there anime elements.0
