In which America asks England to tell him what "grandpa" Roman Empire was like. And big bonus if the following is included somehow.
"Caligula planned a campaign against the British in 40, but its execution was bizarre: according to Suetonius, he drew up his troops in battle formation facing the English Channel and ordered them to attack the standing water. Afterwards, he had the troops gather sea shells, referring to them as "plunder from the ocean, due to the Capitol and the Palace". Modern historians are unsure if that was meant to be an ironic punishment for the soldiers' mutiny or due to Caligula's derangement."
For nitpickers: Assume an earlier different named or proto-version of Chibi England existed at the time Roman Empire arrived on the island. If you have another idea feel free to ignore this part.
