Finally got to this! It’s the color pages Himaruya did for the introduction of the “Get the World” event Kitayume Anthology Hetalian! This had been posted on livejournal back in 2009, but the images were photos, so I got a copy of the book to scan. It’s a huge doujinshi by the way. Along with this, the other pages Himaruya contributed to the doujinshi were the “German Simulator” strips that were published in volume one.

Sooo, this is a strip Himaruya made for a dounjinshi anthology back in 2008, called The World of Hetalia Exhibition Commemoration Anthology: Premium (世界のヘタリア展記念アンソロジー ぷれみあむ!). It's about France and England arguing over who invented condoms, and it popped up in my mind again after coming across that post about Japan and Greece having potentially had sex (because this strip also ends with Greece). I couldn't find it anywhere and I started wondering if it was just a fever dream I had, but actually it does exist! I only found this page though, and the post I took it from said the source was Hetarchives (which is also where I read it many years ago) ... Except now I just cannot find it. I don't know where to look ;-;
Does anyone happen to have a link or something..? :/
EDIT. I forgot to mention, the strip itself was titled I Want to Press Various Things Onto You (お前に色々おしつけたい。).

- In what kind of situation would you propose? “As long as I get YES for an answer, I’m willing to take the challenge and propose in any way! (unless it’s scary or if it hurts) But if I am to propose in my own style… I’ll probably just do it casually without being too stiff and formal, like usual!”
- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “Well~ I want a ceremony that’s wow and glamourous, yay yay and lots of fun, and with lots and lots of delicious food! ”
- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Germany, of course! He’s just too straight-laced… eh, wait, nooo your face is too scary stop glaring at me like thatttt!!! (cry)”
- In what kind of situation would you propose? “Since it’s about two people making an important decision for their lives, I’d like to organize it properly by first making an appointment with my partner and dressing in formal clothes. The location… should be somewhere indoor, so it won’t become affected by the weather.”
- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “I’m not particularly picky about it, but I think it’s a good idea to have a solemn ceremony in a church.”
- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Probably… Japan. The fact that he’s attracted to those who aren’t in the same dimension as him… tldr”
- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I have a strong yearning for a love confession under a Tree of Legend.”
- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “A traditional Japanese Shinto wedding ceremony in Kimono would be lovely. It’s about time I become more serious with developing technologies that will bring my bride out of the computer screen.”
- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “It would be terribly rude of me to answer such a question… I am very sorry but I cannot answer that.”
- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I think it’d be rather nice and romantic to propose on a ship, while reminiscing the glorious Age of Discovery.”
- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “A grand wedding ceremony full of majesty and style of the Great Britain Empire. After vowing eternal love to each other at the cathedral, I would like to hold a splendid wedding reception at the Buckingham Palace Ballroom.”
- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “He’s not one of the five guys here, but France. Because he’s naked.”
- In what kind of situation would you propose? “I want my proposal to be during Superbowl halftime or right in front of Times Square with national tv live stream, it sounds like fun and a total blast!”
- How would you like your wedding ceremony to be? “I just want it to be something cool! Maybe we can combine all the resources and technology of NASA and have a wedding on the moon?”
- Out of the five of you, who do you think is the least likely to get married? “Hmm… probably England? He becomes too obsessed with everything he does, so he can be too overbearing.”

Something wrong with this place?
what? You forgot something at home?
The journey has already begun
Didn't you make sure you didn't forget anything before you went out?
Jeez. It can't be helped
If I have something, I can share a little bit with you.
Because I know that traveling alone can bring inconvenience.
I see, I see. Are you happy?
Thank me as much as you want.
¿Hay algo malo con este lugar?
¿Qué? ¿Olvidaste algo en casa?
El viaje ya ha comenzado
¿No te aseguraste de no olvidar nada antes de salir?
Dios. No se puede evitar
Si tengo algo, lo puedo dividir un poco.
Porque sé que viajar solo puede traer inconvenientes.
Ya veo, ya veo ¿Estás feliz?
Agradéceme tanto como quieras.
