Everyone who had any idea nations existed knew that.
They were two very basic facts that, honestly, no one thought very hard about. England represented the United Kingdom at meetings to prevent any shouting matches between their ranks, Wales ran errands and North Ireland did the cleaning and Scotland controlled the amount of alcohol in the house at any time and did the cooking when no one bothered to order-in.
(Ever since Scotland began spending more time with France and Italy, he’d been considered the most knowledgeable about food around the house. While his cooking was a bit bland at times, it was better than a certain other person’s attempts.)

This chapter is so short D8 And the A/N is so long.
…I made myself hungry writing the last part. /fail.
Scotland’s earliest known name is apparently Alba. I find that oddly close to Albion (England’s first name) but hey, I kind of like it. I’ve always felt a little iffy about his name being Caledonia since that was a tribe that later took over. I don’t think a personification for every single tribe would’ve fit in the Isles back then……
The UK bros are stuck at home most of the time while Art takes care of diplomacy. Hence, they have a lot of time to fuck around. They’ve also had a long time to get good at it. With various types of fucking. Including fucking with minds.
…In my headcanon, Wales, having been under England’s rule for so long, most of what he does isn’t for any political or cultural reason, but because he’s really really bored with being basically an immortal human for the past couple of centuries. After the rebellions died down, he didn’t exactly have much to do except give Iggy footrubs, make the evening tea, coal

Really, by the third time Wales sidled up and practically sat on his lap on a tour bus or escorting him to the airport- and the fifth time North Ireland helped him gather up papers by bending over like he’d dropped soap or something- and the seventh time either one of them offered him a treat in the break room (despite how they loudly proclaimed they hated being dragged to world meetings by England, who loudly proclaimed he didn’t want them there)- America was suspecting something was going on.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world thought he was going through a conspiracy theorist phase again.
Well he does have "paranoid-for-a-century" attacks for a few years ....repeatedly.

Seriously love this story. Oh America, you don't really know what you're getting yourself into do you? <3
btw, a typo that made me lol: I think it’s because he hangs out with Bug Brother France, haha. I instantly pictured France as some sort of fly/human hybrid.

Before I get to the story, I just have to say I’m sorry about the first two chapters where I called Northern Ireland North Ireland. I kind of forgot that the Republic of Ireland had it’s own north that wasn’t NORTHERN Ireland. I have problems with directions like that. Being an America!Anon, South America and Southern America are a bit reversed in comparison and it slipped my mind North might not do the same thing. Also, I was lazy and knocked off three letters so I could type faster. Apologies to any anons that might’ve bothered. Pre-emptive apologies if I forgot to change a North to Northern in this chapter.Scotland ordered tea and porridge

Anon does not have any idea how that triple post happened and is very sorry for any inconvenience…
“And you’re serious?” he really had to check.
“Why would I bother tae come if nae?” Scotland said. “Wales and Northern Ireland’s pranks don’t interest me tha’ much. I mean, tha’ one time with the firecrackers in the vents was decent, but calmed down too fast, y’know? Nae even a fire.”
“Wait, Wales and Northern Ireland did that?”
“Yeah. Who d’ye think did it? Sealand? The wee brat can’t even figure out he could host a fundraiser to build ‘imself more land and have greenhouses and strain the salt from the ocean to become self-sufficient. Y’know, I always figured I raised ‘em smarter than this but no, they all turn out morons,” Scotland huffed. “D’you sell alcohol in the morning? I know at least one of your states ye can’t buy it afore twelve hundred- what’s tha’ look fer

“Um,” America stared at his plate. When had he run out of things to occupy his mouth with, again? “I might have to think about it a bit. I mean, me and England are….”
“Puritan,” Scotland repeated. “Live a little. Polygamy. Golf. Cannibalism. Fucking. It’s all very fun, laddie, trust me.”
America felt like he’d missed something in that sentence but his mind was too occupied with the possibilities following the next world meeting that had just truly registered with him to take notice or reply

A!Anon here. I know the difference between cannon and canon, I just really wish my computer knew the difference between when to use autocorrect and when I've used the word so many time it really didn't have to fix it D8 Sorry.
Tangent. I recently learned that apparently cannon is already plural. Cannons isn't a real word. I find this fascinating and am probably going to share it with everyone who mentions cannon for the rest of my life. I'll go crawl back into my hole of useless facts now and stop talking...

This is making me laugh SO HARD. Scotland's conversation with America was read alloud for the benefit of a completely nonplussed family and I think I laughed even harder at your A/N. Especially the bit about the Cossacks.
Fun fact about Tipping: Mum didn't tip a takeout chinese place, once, and they CALLED US and asked if we accidentally forgot. Good law.

A!Anon here. She's going to break her paralyzing fear of the mods being mad at her for starting conversations in replies by saying I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR FAMILY THOUGHT AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO TELL ME THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL 8D
Well if I worked in a restaurant I'd be relentless about getting as much money as I could, too. It can't be that great working there unless you're a very, VERY social person... and to a fault.
Thank you! I'm really glad you think it's funny! I actually love reading A/Ns and try hard to make mine as entertaining as the story itself. Dull notes make for bad learning. 8D
First fill. I hope I’m doing this right, eheh…
America and England were fucking.
Even their governments knew that.
The United Kingdom was made up of four brothers.

“Let’s not talk about the Middle East,” America said. “Headaches.”
“Right, right,” England said, then sighed. “So. Changing the subject. Do you have any plans tonight?”
“Not tonight,” America said, “why?”
“Standard question,” England said. They arrived at America’s room.
“You seem kinda edgier today than usual. What’s going on? It can’t just be Pakistan complaining about-”
“-No Middle East. Headaches.”
