The "HRE is Germany" Debate

I haven't seen a topic on this, but if there is already one I really apologize. ^^;

So...what do you think? Is there a possibility that Germany is Holy Roman Empire just grown up? I'm not sure about the "official" history aspect of it, but it makes sense to me. I mean, HRE's hair kind of looked like Germany's, and while the creator of Hetalia seems to have shown the past of just about every character to some extent, it seems like they make an effort to keep from showing it.

Well apparently it's a historical fact that HRE is Germany.
hooray for research!
