Family Ties Question and Answer Round 1!

[hellzabeth]

Family Ties has officially hit 40 chapters! *streamers and party poppers*

In celebration of this momentous occasion (read as: the proof that I truly have no life and don't particularly care) and also because this whole story is far too big for me, the author, to handle, I am standing myself voluntarily in front of the firing squad. By which I mean, you are all allowed to let rip and ask any questions you want!

To make this more fun, you can even ask questions of certain characters, such as "Hey Wales, what was the poker incident of 1972?" or "Hey North Korea, why are you such a crazy psycho and who's bright idea was it to give you nukes?" or "Russia, when the hell are you actually going to tell us what you're planning?"

Or you have the regular flavor of "Hey Pidge, were you aware of [insert treaty name here which invalidates a point in the story] or are you just purposefully ignoring it?" or "Oi you, the world-destroying psycho, what the fuck compelled you to do that to Scotland?" or "What are you smoking and where can I get some?"

Fire away, and most importantly, have fun!

I got all excited when I read this!!... but then I realized I don't actually have any good questions right now >.>

So I'll go with the obvious and ask Russia: Is there a method to your madness?!?

I think you saw this coming

China. WHY?!

[fallenxembers17.livejournal.com]

China and Russia, why such asshats?

OH AND SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP... Hey Wales, what was the poker incident of 1972?

It's really hard to think of questions when you ask for people to think of questions.

So.

What are you secretly hoping that people ask about?

Otherwise I just demand to know what kind of underwear all of the male nations wear.

I need sleep

I want to ask something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
But someone already asked...

So let's settle for something else entirely random.... Just how old Northern Ireland should look like?

And am.. Does any of the guys can cook properly? If not, how did they survived this long?

/goes to sleep

Can't sleep

Hey Ireland, marry me?

Do you know that the Luso-British alliance and about half the treaties that Portugal made with England are at least partially responsible for Portugal's past and present economic situation( nearly bankrupt)?
When are you going to tell us what happened to NZ?
And finally, Poland, I like your pink tanks, where did you get them painted?

[alianorethecat.livejournal.com]

OMG Poland are you alright?! Same goes for Latvia, Lithuania, England, and Wales. Are they okay?!

Wales, why did you forget to blow fire? That was FrUKing awesome!

So what happened to New Zealand? And how long will Australia keep looking for her?

Oh hey, I thought of a question that doesn't require spoilers for answers! I think! And is pretty important: What KIND of nuclear weapons did America use? Like... what scale? Because I just read this article (and I'm pretty much pissing myself because that shit is SCARY) and... apparently now they have an "H-Bomb" which is 1000 times more powerful than the original "A-Bomb" and they have BIGGER H-Bombs and idk, I have no idea about the physics or anything but it's scaring the hell out of me AND an "N-Bomb" which apparently isn't as powerful as the H-Bomb except that it is because the radiation it creates kills all living beings in a much larger radius whether they are in a shelter or NOT. (An A-bomb doesn't do that, actually if I've got it right, the A-bomb actually releases relatively little radiation, much much less than Chernobyl, and if you make it to shelter, are not too close to the ground zero and survive the fallout afterwards, you actually have a fair change to make it. You might get a cancer but with treatment you can survive cancer too. With the N-bomb, you'd just be dead. It's like. It's built to just kill people, not weapons or military bases or material, people. Seriously, why does this thing exist? What if a sociopath got a hold of those things? I don't even.... WHY?)

... I'm not sure if I recommend researching nuclear weapons. orz It's terribly interesting and mind-blowing but it's also very, very, VERY scary. Except for the depleted uranium weapons; at least for me I was too busy being horrified out of my wits to be actually scared, not because of their destructiveness since they aren't even close to the others, but because they are being used. Today. Legally. And nobody is doing anything about it. *doesn't even know what to do with this information, is just totally blown*
