I was sad that we couldn't stay long, but it was awesome seeing everyone. I was the Belarus with the large flag and my friend was Belgium. :D

Hi! :D I was the Spain that said hello to you guys at the stoplight, haha. You both looked fantastic, I'm sorry I didn't see you at the gathering or I'd have taken your pictures! D:

And thank you very much to Shokora and all the helpers for making this happen! (: It was a fun gathering, I'm glad I was able to attend.

I have a bit of a concern about my costume meeting Fanime's requirements.
I would like to do a police version of Spain from Hetalia, but I'm worried about it violating the "no realistic depictions of law enforcement" rule. It is obviously different from police uniforms in California, I believe, and the word "police" would not be anywhere on it. The hat would clearly be fake, bought from a costume store. Would this be alright?

Also, would a tiny, fluorescent colored squirt gun be okay, provided it stays empty and isn't used to squirt anyone or pointed towards anyone? Or would I need to remove the functional parts of that, too?

With the squirt gun, it can't be fillable, or usable. So it either needs a hole in it to keep it from being filled, or the trigger needs to be disabled.

As far as the costume; it cannot say "police" (or "policia") and it should not have badges on it. If it looks like the picture you linked to, it should be alright.

Okay, thank you! (:

I posted on the cosplay.com thread, but just to put it here as well, I'll be there as police!Spain. (:
