Worldwide Secrets

Chapter 2 - Families

"I suppose we read now," Germany says, picking up the book. Everyone migrates back to their seats, and for once the meeting hall is completely silent. Germany begins to read.

"We've decided to start you out with your family trees as many of you may be unaware of your personal parentage. Given the nature of nations, that's a high possibility.

"To the nations of the United Kingdom: All of you but England are children of Celt and Britannia. England, you are the son of Britannia and-"

Germany stops, blinking at the rest of the sentence. "Britannia and Germania. Prussia is the only surviving nation who knew of this. England, were you aware of this?"

The Englishman glances at Prussia, the two having a silent conversation before nodding.

"Yes, I was."

Germany nods before continuing to read, though he's obviously still distracted.

"England, Germany, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg are all children or grandchildren of Germania.

"(Austria could possibly be related to Rome, but no one knows for sure.) Most of the Germanics are "poof babies", meaning they just appeared in Germania's territory."

"Kesesesese," Prussia laughs. "Vati sure got around!" Chuckles and laughter are heard around the room.

"Next is Gaul, the mother of France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

"Spain and Portugal are the sons of Iberia.

"Macedonia, Greece and Cyprus are the sons of Ancient Greece and Macedon, the Macedonian Empire.

"Egypt is the son of Ancient Egypt and Macedon.

"Veneziano and Romano are the poof sons of Western Rome.

"Rome became the Grandpa of the Mediterranean after conquering it and the Mediterranean nations."

Germany pauses as everyone lets the information sink in.

"Ve~ The Mediterranean family is complicated." Italy Veneziano comments, earning snorts of amusement from Turkey and China.

"Try watching it all happen. You were nightmares," Turkey announces, leaning back in his chair.

Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, and Macedonia converse quietly, not having known of their relations before today. With that in the background, Germany continues the page.

"Dacia is the mother of Moldova and Romania. Kievan Rus and Byzantium are the mother and father of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. Kievan Rus also looked over the Baltic's and Poland in their youth after Baltia died.

"Speaking of the Baltic's, their parents are Baltia and Aestii. Aestii is also Prussia's mother, making all four nations siblings."

There's a bit of silence as Germany stops to register this. Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia stare at Prussia who stares back. Several things are left unspoken as Germany starts to read again.

"Finland is the son of Sámi and Hungary is the daughter of Magyar but after their respective parents died, they were taken in by Scandinavia and Germania.

"No one really remembers who Poland's parents are, but Magyar or Aestii probably had something to do with him. Sorry kid.

"We have no clue as to the Asian nations, but from what China used to tell us, they were poof babies as well, with the exception of Hong Kong and Macau.

"That's the end," Germany reports. England takes the book from him, skimming over it.

"Wait, there's a bit more. The Ancients say that North and South America would be covered in observations later, but that all of them are partially related to their land's natives and their conquerors."
