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.)

At the third and final day of the World Meeting, America was limping so badly England said he looked liked he’d had a good few centimeters lobbed off one leg.
Cuba gawfed and called across the table: “Hey, America, who fucked you?”
Before either America or England could decide on a witty response, a voice from the hall that sounded distinctly Welsh called out, “The U.K, halfwit!”
England shot up out of his seat and screamed, “Did you bastards follow me here again?”
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland leaned against the wall and each other as they laughed.
“We told you we wanted to see their faces!” Wales chirped as Northern Ireland helpfully pointed behind America and England’s backs.
The two turned to look at the reactions of the world.

THE FINAL BONUS SCENE I couldn’t find a way to tie this in effectively, but I liked it too much to cut it entirely. I like making Scotland say "Puritan"...
“Well, y’know, Florida is bigger then all the UK,” America said, chuckling. He quieted after noticing the stony looks the other nations were giving him. “What?”
Scotland reached down and lifted his kilt.
“Oh,” America said, “You guys do know I didn’t mean it literally, right?”
Wales unzipped his pants and pushed them down enough to show himself off.
“Now that’s just mean.”
North Ireland looked back and forth between the two and uncertainly began to unbutton his own trousers when America said, “Okay, okay, I get it, you’re all about my size, Jesus Christ!”
“You’re really lucky Ireland isn’t here,” Wales quipped, “He’s always wanted to be in a dick-waving competition.”
“You are too cute for something that rancid to come out of your mouth,” America said.

Wow, you're getting a lot of reviews about North and Northern Ireland. I loved the dialogue of all five of the nations. xD And amazing writing. ^-^ I hope you keep writing. And anons, one mistake doesn't mean you have to cut the A!Anon down. ._. I mean, I think there were three comments about it. I think the person got the point.

Sorry, I didn't realize there was a distinction between Northern Ireland and North Ireland, and was just going between them depending on if I was too lazy to type the 'ern' D8 If it really is a big difference I'll do my best to type Northern from now on, but I'll be at a loss for what to call him in dialogue. "Northern" sounds less like a name than "North" so if you have a suggestion for what I can use instead it would be greatly appreciated. ^^;
Call him Northern Ireland. That's his name. I mean, the full version of "United Kingdom" is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Since you've gone with Wales, Scotland and NI getting annoyed with other nations conflating England and United Kingdom, you really do have to call Northern Ireland by his right name.
Republic of Ireland would refer to him in the third person as "the North", which might be where you're getting confused. Northern Ireland, if he's feeling particularly Orange, would sometimes refer to himself as "Ulster" (but other nations should avoid this, especially if Republic of Ireland is around).
I love what you've done with him otherwise. I love that he takes care of all the cleaning - he exists because of Presbyterian settlers and they were very hardworking, so that's in character for him. And now that he's more at peace with his dual heritage, he isn't periodically smashing up the place >:D
A!Anon wants to apologize for the late reply, she was busy D8
Alright, thanks for the help. I was just very lazy with typing out fourteen letters each time I mentioned him (on my keyboard, three letters makes a difference.. ) and always had a problem looking at names like Northern Ireland and putting a face behind it since it's so much more like a title then some of the other nation's names. Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for the suggestions.
I'm glad you like him! Since I've already milked you for name options, can you help me again with what you think his personality would be? I have mostly old movies and several friends, none of whom have been to the UK in general, and some OC refs, that I'm going off of. Somehow I feel like that won't be enough, but his history isn't exactly helping me write smut ^^;

He's definitely the baby. Northern Ireland as a political entity has its roots in the Ulster Plantation of the seventeenth century. In my mind he looks like Scotland, because the Presbyterian population there were originally from Scotland.
Although he's more comfortable with his dual heritage (I'm assuming this is set in contemporary times, in which the IRA have disbanded and NI is no longer directly ruled from London), his mood can turn on a dime. It only takes someone saying the wrong thing (Ireland going on about "fucking Brits" or England snapping about terrorists, for example) and he's storming out of the room. I think of him as eighteen/nineteen, technically an adult but still a moody teenager - whose parents can only just manage to be civil to and about each other.

Please don't be offended Author!Anon, this is an awesome fill... But Northern Ireland is not Ireland, as Ireland is nothing to do with the UK. Using 'Ireland' to refer to NI is not cool :/

A!Anon first of all apologizes for the late reply. Busy weekend D8
I realize Northern Ireland and Ireland are different and that it's a bad mistake, but it's just I'm a lazy bum and don't really want to type out fourteen letters each time I refer to him, which was why I was using North Ireland (three letters shorter.... on this keyboard it makes a difference I say... ) and thought that was enough distinction. And then I realized now that the north of Ireland is Northern Ireland there's another north in the Republic of Ireland, which I've always sort of seen as the middle of Ireland and... I think it's too late at night for me to try and explain how mixed up I get sometimes with things like directions. Sorry for the problem, though. ^^;
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.
Everyone who had any idea nations existed knew that.
They were two very basic facts that, honestly, no one thought very hard about.

this one was supposed to go after the last scene in the story, but I liked cutting it off where I did better. I hate throwing things away
That night, after a particularly fine batch of English tea and some 69, America pulled England close in bed and held him.
“Y’know,” he said, yawning. “I kind of like your brothers.”
“Only you would,” England huffed and gave him a kiss on the forehead. America smiled.
“Yeah well- if it’s alright with you, of course- I think I’d like to see them again.”
England was smiling two now. “I may be able to arrange it,” he said.
America kissed him. “Iggy, I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.”
“…you just want North Ireland to give you candy again.”
“No. That’s just a perk.”
“That’s not the only perk, is it?”
“Nope. Scotland’s a perk too.”
“Lech.”
“Ass.”
“You told me I had a beautiful arse last week.”
“…all right. Fine. You win this round.”
Then, America kissed him again.
It was a beautiful night.
