After remembering how long it takes for cats to mature(about 18 months) I decided to go with a theory I'd sort of had before/that my friend had encouraged.
The world of the cats had come up fully formed and everyone had been born with the knowledge they needed except for some. Of course, everyone was born at different times and such, and some people were born/were created/appeared at a different age than a newborn/chibi/kitten/whathaveyou.
All 123 Frances were born Parallel Kittens. That is, to a nation, a newborn chibi. He grew up and now it's December. However, that's the end of the year and he and all of the other countries who'd formed through the 12 months(their equivalent of 2010+ years) could feel something big was about to happen. And so did their instinct which told them all(through a unified dream) that the world as they knew it would end unless they went to their parallel world(Earth) and find the person with the mark(Romano) which would help them save their world. Knowing no more than that and with only a week to spare they headed out for earth, traveling through space.
Of course, they learned what a new year was and. . .well, they lived happily ever after. Their immortality, like all nations', continued, the world as they knew it gone, but only because they were starting in another year/time.
TL;DR: Parallel(what I'm calling the Parallel World) has only existed for about 12 months, or, at least, it was getting on 12 months. That's the end of the calendar year, and they didn't know what to do after that and waited for their instinct to provide insight, which led them to Earth.
All of the Parallel Nations have things such as telekinesis and auras that can knock you out forcefully, as well as the ability to leap great bounds in a cat-like manner, to the point they could be flying. They also have claws, sharp teeth, and some are a bit stronger than the average nation. They also have normal cat instincts and can have shared dreams if their instincts all detect the same thing.
