Serbia (セルビア, Serubia) is a fan-made character for the webcomic/manga/anime series Hetalia: Axis Powers. She is the human representation of both the pre-1918 and the modern day versions of Serbia and the former Yugoslavia both as a kingdom and republic, being called Serbia (before 1918 and after 2006) by outside countries and (in-between those years) by her fellow Yugoslav regions and republics, and Yugoslavia (for most of the time between 1918 and 2006) by outside countries (in basically the same way that England/Britain is known as Britain by the other countries but as England by his brothers Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).

At various times throughout the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, she was formerly known by a lot of names:
 * Principality of Serbia (1815-1882)
 * Kingdom of Serbia (1882-1918)
 * Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918-1929, informally called Yugoslavia by outside countries and Serbia within the kingdom)
 * Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1929-1943, known as the Belgrade City Administration by her fellow Yugoslav subdivisions, then spending 1941-1944 as the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia)
 * Democratic Federal Yugoslavia (1943-1945; known as the Socialist Republic of Serbia, SR Serbia, or just plain Serbia by her fellow Yugoslav republics)
 * Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (1945-1963, still being called Serbia within the federation)
 * Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1963-1992, still being called Serbia within the federation)
 * Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992-2003, formally called the Republic of Serbia within the federation)
 * State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (2003-2006, called Serbia by her sole spouse Montenegro)
 * Republic of Serbia (2006-present)

In August 2013, she was given the human name Margareta Ivanović (マルガレータイバノビッチ, Marugarēta Ibanobitchi); "Margareta" being the Serbian version of the name "Margaret" (as in Margaret Thatcher; see Personality and Interests in the future for further details about this first name being chosen for Serbia) and "Ivanović" being a Serbian patronymic surname meaning "son of Ivan" (a reference to her country's historical protector Russia, whose human name is Ivan Braginsky).
