America's POV
Every country will do anything to be powerful.

And that means a lot of states or provinces.

Maybe just stick to only a few, but with big amounts of land.

Not 50. I learned that the hard way.

"FLORIDA! DON'T YOU DARE- Sorry for being loud, Hawaii, it's just- UTAH NO-"

I stopped Utah at the last moment from climbing the pillar we had in our living room. Meanwhile, Florida was about to drink orange juice straight from the bottle, and Hawaii was covering her ears because it was too noisy for her.

As soon as the states were calmed down and I put some of the older states in charge, I flopped down on the couch.

I was glad that some of the older states like Delaware tried to help me.

"Hey, Dad? Can you come upstairs for a second? It's kinda... important." I heard South Carolina say from behind me.

"Oh god. What did North Carolina do now?" I said as I followed South Carolina upstairs.

"She may or may not have overfilled the bathtub with bubbles..." South Carolina mumbled.

Oh my god. These children... I thought to myself. We approached the bathroom, and it was just as she had said. North Carolina was just standing there, the bathtub overflowing with bubbles.

And just bubbles. No water.

"I drained the water but the bubbles are still overflowing..." North Carolina said.

"I'm starting to regret the bubble jets in the bathtubs. Just turn 'em off and search up on google how to get rid of bubbles. Because I don't know." Yea, I had no idea how to get rid of that shit.

"I turned them off, I just need to figure out how to get rid of the bubbles... ALEXA! HOW DO YOU GET RID OF BUBBLES?" North Carolina yelled.

"Anyway, I have an important zoom call in a few minutes, so I'd better get to my office. Do not under any circumstances annoy me." I told them.

I walked downstairs to my office. My office was very modern and professional, one of the best rooms in the mansion, in my opinion.

Also, did I mention you can't hear the chaos of the states from it? That's why it's my favourite room in the house.

As I joined the zoom call, I saw many of the other countries on the call.

So many other offices with countries in them were on the screen. One had an office that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, with a hot drink on the desk.

Another had a very neon office, neon lights with dark walls made it feel like it was something out of a streamer's room.

Another one was less organized, with random piles of clutter here and there, but if it was organized, it would look nice.

And the head of the zoom call, U.N's office was in a chalet, overlooking a massive lake. Behind him, sun shined in from the massive windows. It was amazing.

The call was pretty boring, but still had some interesting things in the background. Most notably, one of the countries dog's came in, and sat up on his lap, and laid there quietly for the rest of the meeting.

(I wanna know who y'all think the counties mentioned here are! If you have any guesses, please share them in the comments.)

During the meeting, we had a break. So, during the break all of us just kinda talked.

The topic of the human world was brought up. Which, I had a nice story to share.

"When I was in the human world the other day, I met this woman who told me about how her 4 kids were so hard to deal with. And in my mind, I was like, '4 kids? Try 50.' Ugh, humans."

Honestly though, humans are weaklings sometimes. I mean, a Countryhuman is definitely stronger than a human when it comes to most things.

After the call, I decided to check on the states. I hadn't heard a peep out of them during the meeting, so everything must be good, right?

As I walked into the kite hen, what I saw shocked me.

All the states, working together, cooking dinner. No fighting, just working together. Cooperating for once.

"Oh! Hi pops!" New York said. "We're just cooking dinner. I know some of us usually help you, but leave it to us today!"

Wow.

They really did care.

"Alright. What about setting the table?" I asked. "Don't worry about that either! A few states are doing that as we speak!" New York exclaimed.

I walked over to the dining room, where some of the younger states were gladly taking care of setting the table.

My area of the table was already done, so I sat down there. Roughly ten minutes later, dinner was served.

What was served, you may ask? Pizza. And it was surprisingly good.

I normally just had pepperoni on my pizza, but the states also had other toppings. Sausage, peppers, onion, olives, pineapple, you name it, they probably have it.

After dinner, I walked around the house, and that dinner wasn't where the sate's good deeds stopped.

The laundry was done, the floors were vacuumed and mopped, the windows were cleaned, the shelves were dusted, and the states were putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

I looked through the cupboards to check if we needed groceries. And hell yes, we did.

And you've probably guessed it by now, some of the states were doing that.

There was absolutely nothing that I had to do. Just relax. I went into my bedroom, and flopped down onto the bed.

It was still a while before I usually hit the hay, but I decided to just take a nap for a bit.

And nap I did. I woke up roughly two hours later.

Once again, pure silence.

I walked out into the living room. All the states sat there, watching TV peacefully, no complaining.

It almost felt like a dream.

Good thing it wasn't.
