I'd written you a very long comment, but my browser crashed. Thanks a lot, Opera. You're just like the others after all, you bastard!
So first: thanks so much for actually bothering to do a little research on South American history before you write about it (and also thanks for bothering to write about us in the first place). It's awful when people dismiss us as being "one giant country" (I'm looking at you, Scandinavia and the World!), because seriously, what century is this? So, a big crushing virtual hug coming up for you!
Secondly, OMGIGGYILU. Even if you're regarded as an IRL troll by every Spanish-speaker that's ever lived), which I find very amusing. I mean, really, if they ever do a strip with South America, Iggy will be the creepy uncle who's always hanging there in the background, waiting for the time when Spain will be careless, and then he'll molest his kids (see Chile), try to take them from him (see invasion of the River Plate), and otherwise rob them (see creation of Uruguay). Hohoho, you naughty England, you.
And take Spain, of course. How can he not hate England? The man harasses his kids? Not that Spain ever cared much for his kids, I mean, unless they had gold. (He barely even bothered with the deep South) And then along came England to steal all that shiny gold from him.
OH DEAR I'M RAMBLING. I'm usually not this annoying, I promise, I just really like languages and culture and history aaaand I should have stopped typing like three paragraphs ago.
So my failed attempt at commenting earlier went on about Perú's awesome cooking skills both IRL (it's a big hit right now and it's supposedly very delicious) and in South America's collective headcanon's, so I grinned from ear to ear when I read that drabble. I also grinned because the fight, and married life, and everything was just aww~ Poor Bolivia and Perú, the dears. *shakes fist at sibling!country Argentina*
Moving on from such dreadful matters onto similar ones overseas, is the quote at the beginning of the Ireland drabble an actual quote from one of your textbooks? *stares in horror* And I remember being appalled when I read that Uruguay had "profited from the Indian killings in such a way that it has become, fortunately, the whitest country in all of South America," or something like that, but this was in an old textbook... from the seventies... Is that quote from a modern textbook? *is still horrified*
Anyway I love Ireland. And just imagining her accent turned me on a little, even though I'm a straight female and she was talking about, you know, death? *coughs*
I love England in this too. Desperately trying to hold onto everyone around him, and always losing them in the end. :(
Finally, my favourite part of the whole thing:
"Ms India, can I be a Nation?" piped up Sealand. "No sweetheart, for the fiftieth time." And the ~looks~ in the children's faces! Poor Chibi!Nations, anyone would be scarred for life at the image of 4000-year-old Yao's sex faces when he's the subject of your first Sex talk. LMAO.
P.S.: Psst, you meant Colombia, not Columbia. Colombia with an O is the South American country, Columbia with an U refers to the US, apparently? I'll never understand your crazy ways, US of A.
P.S.2: Thank goodness I'd saved the comment. This time LJ failed me. Stupid technology.
