Well, a lot of my people go on dates, see how they get along together. Sometimes they move in together before hand, but it always depends. Then they get married and have kids, or adopt.
It... is different, though. I mean, I never tried to court a nation before... don't bosses decide that?
I'm not sure, they aren't here, at least. Most bosses, that is. I think I spoke to one of Prussia's bosses a while ago. ...I guess we would have to ask them, like children ask their parents?
The church has a problem with same sex marriage. I don't have a problem with it! I mean it says in my constitution that 'all men are created equal'! So it shouldn't be an issue!
...oh? Yeah, me too. Though its other people who keep bringing it up.
Yeah, I know. I mean, the only nations married that I know of are Hungary and Austria. All this talk of it is... weird. Especially since everyone is seeming to place 'bets' on who I should be with.
But... [Sounding very lost right now. If he had known about this last week, he would probably have made a different decision.] ...but we were told that...
[He just wanted to mention that him and Poland are together now, but with this new knowledge, he'll not tell anyone about it. And maybe talk to Poland again.] There are no other nations that ever got married, up to your day? And I guess it is normal that there's a lot of gossip about strong nations.
I don't think its changed in a bad way! I know I keep making improvements in my place! I don't know about anyone else, though.

There's a lot of conflict, I guess you could say. A lot of the other nations, Poland included, have been giving me a hard time over dating her.
Plus, that poll... I mean, I don't know what the big deal is, anyway. I know I'm popular, but Meriken couldn't possibly be serious with most of those choices!
Why? I can understand that they wouldn't approve of the nation and human aspect, but in this place, it wouldn't make much of a difference. And you seem young enough for it to not feel strange.
If you need help, I'll try to do something. I could talk to Poland for a start, if you'd like me to.
I'm sure there are nations that are younger than you?
You ...it depends. You really want to spend as much time as possible with them, you feel all light and warm around them, you compliment them without planning to do it, they seem interesting to you even if they talk about unimportant or silly things, it is hard for you to be really annoyed by anything they do... You want to protect them and make sure that they are alright more than anything else.
Heh, that's.. sheesh, Poland's convinced.. he mentioned something about me being protective over Germany. And because Germany's one of my support now. I... never really thought about it, but Poland seemed pretty convinced even though I tried to argue otherwise.
Germany... why would everyone think Germany though? He's so serious all the time! I'm not-
....he's not into me like that, dude. That's.. I don't know. I'm protective over him 'cause of the Major and stuff. That's all.
