Death Within the CH Universe

How can CHs Die/Types of Death

Many CH's in this universe don't die through injury or murder--unless collapse counts as injury. Most, if not all CH's tend to die through revolution or simple collapse.

For example, the Russian Empire. He died through his son (USSR), who shot him multiple times when raiding the palace during the time around the Russian Revolution. Countries who die by revolution are almost always murdered by the group of people/country revolting against them. This is an example of the "revolution" death. 

Another example of death would be the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This (dumbass pretty princess man) empire died almost immediately after World War I, through the signing of (I need to figure out which treaty). After signing a treaty or officially falling, the country will have large cracks appear all over their body, before the cracks eventually split and break the country apart, who then disintegrates. This all happens within the span of 5 minutes or so, and is an example of the "collapse" death.

Some countries have died during war, due to injury, or due to sickness, but those are uncommon deaths, and most of the time, CHs don't die from sickness. Countries can't catch illnesses like regular humans, for example, they can't catch a cold from being in close proximity with an infected person. However, they can get diseases based on the state of their country. If a large percentage of their population comes down with a sickness (a pandemic) then they'll start to show symptoms of also catching it. 

With dying due to injury, countries are much more resilient than humans. I think I put it in a previous chapter but for example, CHs can withstand about 6-8 gunshots before dying, while most humans can only withstand 1-2. It's difficult for countries to get murdered which is why it's an uncommon death. 

The Afterlife

First, I'd like to clarify that this is a completely different place than the dead countries' house. The Afterlife is a separate universe, and completely neutral, meaning it's not solely for 'good' or 'evil' dead countries. All of them end up in the afterlife once they're dead.

After a country dies, they're transported to the realm that is the Afterlife. The United Nations or whatever organization in their place at the time (LoN being UN's predecessor, and IPU (Inter-Parliamentary Union) holding the spot before LoN) is considered the "boss" of the Afterlife, and usually guides new additions to the Afterlife. Many of the dead countries who had died before any peace organizations were created were eventually brought to the afterlife by the UN or LoN. 

When a newly dead country appears in the afterlife, they're in a separated room from everyone else already there, where UN talks to them about what has happened, answers their questions, and then briefs them on the mechanics of how the afterlife actually works and how their "life" will look like from now on. After that, the country gets some time alone with any relatives/family in the afterlife, and if they have none, they immediately move on and get toured through the area. 

The afterlife looks like a regular house. Think of a contemporary style modern family home. That's just the afterlife. All the countries are separated by gender (male/female), as well as continent/region (countries with no observable gender or are complicated in terms of gender are just put in whichever part they want to be in). Most of the time, family members are placed together/next to each other, and there are some special rooms. 

Pangea is a case of a special room. Pangea isn't a "country" but was the supercontinent of the Earth. They have a room near the back within the male sector. They said they wanted to stay back there to keep watch over them. 

(As mentioned in an earlier chapter) Earth/Gaia/Gaea is also an example of a special room, and while they're not dead, it's more of an honorable spot. They're sometimes in their room, sometimes not, usually not. Their room is next to Pangea's, as that makes the most sense.

All the rooms in the afterlife are sound-proof and have each countries' flag on the outside of the door as well as a plaque under it stating the countries' name. The braille version is written underneath. 

Release from the Afterlife

After a country dies, they are confined to the dead country's house as well as the Afterlife. 

Again, as stated above, the Afterlife is a different place than the house!! The Afterlife is an in between to "heaven" and "hell" and anyone there isn't able to interact with living countries/beings (unless the alive country has a power that involves interacting with the undead/interacting with ghosts). The dead country's house is apart of the living universe, and some dead countries choose to live there after they leave the Afterlife, which brings me to how to get released.

The standard amount of years is about 20-50 years for each dead country, and certain countries are also still partially confined to these two areas by law of the UN (who personally instated the restrictions with the help of the other orgs.). These partial restrictions also allow for these specific countries to be restricted from certain areas and restricted from interacting with particular objects. These areas + objects are usually things like weapons (guns, knives, etc.) and areas of political importance (government buildings, the UN hq, etc.). 

In the Afterlife, every dead country has to go through much paperwork pertaining to deaths they've caused... and other stuff. I'm also figuring this part out. It's meant to help in "redeeming" or at least "taming" (as said by NATO) the dead countries and further prevent them from fucking up the world more than it is.

After a country has served their "sentence" or done all their paperwork (their sentence will be extended if they don't finish in time) they're introduced back into the living world. 

The thing is, this rule hasn't been used. Ever. When UN began introducing the countries back into the living world, it was about around the 2010s, as that was when UN actually developed the abilities able to allow them to interact with the living. 

By then, all the countries had already served their sentence. The last dead country was Yugoslavia, but they also served their sentence, along with the USSR. Somalia did temporarily die, and Afghanistan is complicated, but they technically aren't dead anymore and didn't have to do paperwork since they were resurrected almost straight after their 'death'. 

So when the concept of bringing back the dead countries was introduced, UN simply very, very slowly brought them all back by ways of time period and continent, which took about...... a few years, since he brought one group of countries back every week (time in between each resurrection shortened or lengthened depending on how many brought back at a time, but the every week thing was standard for the resurrection of about 5-6 countries???). 

Living situations changed a bit. For one, many dead countries chose to return to living with their modern families. Germany and Austria used to live together, but now changed their living set up because of the resurrection of their previously dead ancestors, Mexico got moved around and separated from his previous roommates as well. 

Some dead countries, however, choose to stay at the house. The dead country's house is usually filled with countries apart of larger families, like Egypt (She is NOT living with all of the 31 dynasties) and China (...........). The house is the same concept as the Afterlife, so some of the rooms are filled but also some are not.


Yeah I think that's pretty much it

Please ask me questions if you have any

and I might update with more or with stuff I forgot!! ok thank you :) and sorry for the delay on the chapter!!
