Nowhere, Oklahoma.
The perfect place for a person trying to lie low. Small town, secluded community with several people who could happily be "persuaded" to move to another location. Nothing fancy. Alfred was almost certain they didn't even have a Walmart Supercenter.
Which, of course, made it the perfect place for a country -maybe even countries- to hide out, maybe lay low for awhile, commiserate with each other. Of course, he mused, with his boss and himself so busy they'd never even realized when the others' bosses had met to decide what to do with the nations.
It wasn't pretty. When Alfred recieved the frantic e-mail from Arthur telling him to "get his ass somewhere where they can't find him", he was pretty certain something was going down. Via a series of email to the green-eyed nation, Alfred learned the horrible truth: They were to be eradicated. In a surprising two-thirds majority, the governments of the countries present decided that the personafications were too much trouble, and that they were to be no more.
Alfred had only found out yesterday, too. Thank god the goverments hadn't decided how to off them just yet, so they had some time to figure out how to survive. How, though, he wasn't sure.
Alfred sighed as he sat down miserably on the couch. Maybe there really wasn't anything he, the hero, could do this time. There was just so much he wanted to do, to see again, to experience. Death was certainly not one of them. No, he wanted to see everyone again, beat Kiku at SSBB, eat Mattie's pancakes, maybe drag some of the others on another crazy trip through Rt. 66. That had been super fun, especially with the bars and-
That was when he thought of Oklahoma. The state was rarely remembered due to its lack of history and interesting things (other than basketball, the longest strech of the mother road out of all the states, and music artists, the state had nothing going for it.) Maybe, just maybe...
He had to act quickly. Snatching his phone off of the coffee table, he speed texted Arthur, Francis, Mattie, Kiku, Gilbert, and Lovino a message calling for an emergency world meeting in New York ASAP and to tell the others. Hopefully they were all still okay...
This world meeting was severely different from others. For starters, there weren't nearly as many countries. The entire African delegation was missing, and several of the smaller European countries had disappeared as well. Even the micronations had been hit, as Seychelles, Monaco, and TRNC were absent. Arthur could be seen comforting Francis, which confirmed his suspicions of Seychelles and Monaco being, well, deceased. Poor guy. Ivan was depressed, too, and with Ukraine and Belarus gone, it wasn't hard to tell why. Some of the Asians weren't there, either...
No, he had to keep a stiff upper lip. They had to keep fighting, down to the last man.
As soon as everyone left trickled in, Alfred walked up to the podium, everything going quiet as he switched on the mic.
"Look, you all know why I've called this meeting. Our numbers are rapidly declining, with loved ones already lost despite our best efforts." He bit his lip, noticing that a lot of South and Central America was gone, too."Hell, we've already lost all of Africa, a good chunk of Europe and the Americas, and some of Asia, too. We need to get into hiding, fast, before the rest of us are killed, too."
"Oh, like no one's thought of that," England interrupted harshly. "There isn't anywhere we can hide, even in nation-friendly territory. Face it, lads, we're royally screwed."
"Actually, you're on the right track."
Alfred sent the room into a familiar chaos with this revelation. Face-palming, he raised his voice over the roar that had overcome the meeting room. "Settle down, people! What I meant was that the only place we can hide is smack in the middle of Nowhere!"
Well, that was certainly confusing, even for him.
"The hell do you mean, in the middle of nowhere?!" Austria stood up violently and smacked his hands on the table. Alfred was slightly taken aback, expecting Lovino or Arthur or Ludwig. "This is no time to be kidding around, America. Do you really think it is funny to fuck with us all at a time like this, giving us false hope that we might-" Elizabeta and Lily made him sit back down, the former of the two shooting Alfred a dirty look.
"Look, I didn't mean to rile anybody up, okay? There's a small town in one of my states called Nowhere, it's really tiny, and I just thought we could hide out there to figure out what to do about the situation. I didn't even talk to my boss about it, in case he loses it too." That was a complete lie. Alfred had talked to his boss about commandering the school and town for their safety and wellbeing. He wasn't surprised when his boss wholeheartedly agreed. "I think there's a secluded boarding school being built, maybe we could just go there for a couple of years?"
Alfred was actually having an intelligent moment. The remaining countries thought about it, half-heartedly argued over it, and unanimously passed the idea. It wasn't like anyone had any better ideas, and it was much safer than going to an alternate demension. Yes, this was their best option. But how would turn out? Only time could tell.
