She never gave too much thought to how she would die.

It was cliché, but Lilli Zwingili, the Principality of Liechtenstein, had never considered her own death.

Nations never liked to think about it, preferring to focus on their immortality instead. Especially if you thought about nations like China, who'd been around for over 4000 years. A nation death wasn't exactly common, even a thousand years ago.

Well, until recently. But even now, a nations death was always kind of stark, and no-one really liked to think about it.

Even so, here she was. One of the last remaining countries. How many of them were left, anyway? Five, maybe six? Or just the four of them now... She was definitely the last semi-micronation, she knew that. Sealand had gone down in '69, Tex and Hutt had of course disappeared with America, Seborgia had stayed with Romano till the bitter end. Monaco had become one with France sometime after the storm crisis in the thirties, and she had no idea what had happened to Wy, Europe having lost contact with Oceania in the last war.

She still considered herself to young to die. She was eleven in human years, but two-hundred and fifty- four in real time. Again, still very young for a nation.

Lilli glanced over the paper her boss had given her once again. It declared the official dissolving of Liechtenstein, and of her merger with Switzerland. Not that big brother knew, of course- his boss signed these for him, but a full dissolving had to have a personification' s approval.

It seemed ironic, at least to her, that the very person who had saved her in the rain all those years ago would, however indirectly, be the one too kill her. Basch would probably die of grief knowing what he did, but it wasn't like he had a choice. And if he did, it would probably be far more merciful than whatever waited him otherwise.

She slowly pulled the ribbon out of her hair and placed it before the paper in front of her. Then she scrawled a message for her brother for when the papers were delivered to him, whenever that would be.

Ich liebe dich, großer bruder, aber dich hoffe, ich sehe dich nich fur die nachsten hundert Jahre.

Liebe, Lilli.

Then Lilli signed the contract, confirming that the Principality of Liechtenstein no longer existed.

Then she slowly faded into the air.

First time writing Angst. Tell me if it's any good. Review to tell me who you want to find out about next.
