Secrets of the State

Chapter One

The property was huge, a large stone fence that was at least 10 feet tall, surrounded by forests and a large gate guarding the entrance.

A small team played on a basketball court as there was upward of 20 teens running around on the lawn, a few playing tag or wrestling some dancing and singing or just taking a nap under an umbrella. It was a domestic scene and was welcomed by the nations and former nations.

A few waved as the van crossed over a large sturdy bridge that went over a man made fish pond that was surprisingly deep. The van pulled into a building on the far right corner of the property tucked into the corner was a barn like building that was their own little parking garage, although a familiar truck was parked to the side of it, out of the way, to save space on the inside.

Everyone eventually tumbled out of the van, grabbed their bags and made their way to their respective places.

Canada went to a building to the back left. The house where the Canadian siblings and Canada himself. It was actually very nice little home, well not really little.

Prussia to the bottom left, the guest area, they didn't have many but it was there for Prussia mostly. He made himself at home, hanging his flag in the mini living room.

The American duo went to the back right. The house was one of the largest on the property, granted it was where 51 kids lives.

Mexico went to the center back, it's decently sized and mostly empty, only two personifications being found. But otherwise a good home.

The largest building was in the center and was where almost everything was. The kitchen, art room, theater room, a music room and multiple rooms just to hang out. A meeting building to the right of the giant building.

Canada walked into his house to see his capital, Ottawa, sitting in front of the TV with his youngest, Nunavut. Angel looked up to see Canada, "oh! Hi dad" Ottawa greeted.

"Hello Angel, Jake asleep eh?" Canada asked, Angel nodded.

"Yup, I think I'm going to get him on Austin and Aaron's napping schedule." Ottawa suggested, "Just for consisity"

"Good idea" Canada prised patting her head.

Jake the child in question was asleep resting on some throw pillows on the couch oblivious to the world and everything happening in it.

Prussia fell asleep on his couch with an empty bottle of beer.

The American duo went to their own rooms and promptly fell asleep wherever they dropped, it that was their desk chair or comfortable rug is up for interpretation. Alaska walked into North's room to see him asleep on his rug. The winter child lied on his father's back and went to sleep himself.

Mexico fell asleep on his couch, they had just gotten back to a meeting the day before. Hoping the children could control themselves for at least half an hour while the nations took a nap.

Texas and Hawaii put their things away in their rooms and Hawaii ran off to her tea party that she narrowly missed. Rushing to put on her dress and flip flops before dashing back out the door to make it to the the little patio out near the fence.

"Aloha! I'm sorry I'm late. Other nations came by and held us from lunch" Makanui apologized. Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Manitoba, Yukon and Alberta. Or to their human names in order: Serena, Ophilia, Skye, Mia, Charlotte and Ava.

"I'm glad you made it Princess" Serena laughed. Princess was a nickname she had for as long as Makanui could remember. According to Austin, who loved spoiling her, has said her previous form, an older teen, had been given the nickname Prince of the Ocean by the states. Even the states weren't happy with the whole annex Hawai'i thing. But they couldn't stop their government.
