BB: Below is a recorded conversation of Arthur Kirkland (England) speaking to the president of the United States, Barack Obama. I do not own either of them, nor do I own Alfred F. Jones, aka America. I can only wish. -Sigh-

Most people think I hate him. I can see why they think that - he was my little brother, the New world, and he tore away from me. That was France's fault, truly: if that bastard hadn't started anothe war with me there would have been no need for me to tax Alfred so much. Ironic that he ended up helping America pull away. I could hate Alfred now for all the pain he put me through but I don't. He saved me, and others, in both World Wars when he had no need to; he never hated me for my part in his Civil War. That is the worst thing a Nation can go through but Al struggled through it and loved me even if I tried to help the South. How could I hate him?

Alfred is my little brother. He needs to be looked after, not ordered. I don't want to unify with him in any way (no matter what that peverted Frog says), nor do I want him to do everything I say. I want him to become strong now that he's a country of his own, and I want him to grow even stronger. I want to look at him one day and tell him, "I am so proud of you for becoming what you are." And I want him to look back at me and just thank me for helping him. Because I like to think I did help him, somehow. Even if it hurt both of us, the Revolutionary War made us stronger as nations. I want Alfred to make good choices, to become friends with other countries beyond just allies. I want him to keep his heart open and not let anyone influence his choices - I want them all to come straight from him. I want him to love people for being people, I want his people to love him. I want the other Nations to see how strong he is, and I want to keep being there for him even as he grows up and grows older. I want to be the one who can tend his wounds, who'll be there for him to call when he's scared of the dark late at night or when he wants someone to just say hey to him. After all, he's my little brother. My Alfred. My America.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

-Arthur Kirkland to Barack Obama, March 1st, 2012, Washington D.C.

This was recorded by R.N. Nix and G. Washington.
