Nations of the Future
Prologue
The year was 3500 AD, a good thousand years after the Nuclear War. Tensions from WW3 from 2495-2500 caused by Brazil led to the Nuclear War started by North Korea and destroyed several countries: most of the countries in Europe, all of the countries in South America, most of the countries in Asia, very few countries in Africa, and almost all of the countries in North America.
The surviving countries: Germany, the northern half of Italy, Canada, Iceland, Australia, the African countries, Latvia, Sealand, and surprisingly Australia's younger brother: the continent Antarctica. There were three personifications that survived from their countries destruction but had a limited time to exist.
From the remains of what used to be the southern island of Japan, rose a new young country by the name of Kogea, the name is Japanese for 'Small Pangea'. The personification looked like a girl with black hair that reached mid-back, her bangs, covered her right eye, and her visible eye was a golden-orange that would darken when she felt negative emotion but there was one problem.
'She' was entirely male.
He found the personification of Japan when he had a few minutes left to exist and quickly turned him from a personification of a country to a personification of his capital Kedatà i. They looked similar in personality and face structure but they weren't related at all. Instead Australia and Antarctica noticed the near exact features of their deceased mother Pangea, who was his past life.
From the ashes of Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan, rose another new young country by the name of Hanakata. The personification was truly female with knee-length dark silver hair, that she sometimes puts in a ponytail, and bluish-green eyes that holds childish innocence.
She found the personification of China when he had a few minutes left to exist and quickly turned him from a personification of a country to a personification of her capital Sanaou. She and Kogea used to be friends when they were in the stars until something caused them to feel something different for each other.
She expanded her borders to span across Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia as Kogea expanded his borders to the rest of Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, and Indonesia until there was a snag in the borders. Both of them wanted North and South Korea. They discussed it for a while and came to a solution: Kogea would get the halves of North and South Korea that faced him while Hanakata would get the halves of North and South Korea that faced her.
From the remains of what was once America and Cuba, rose two young sibling countries named Hicana and Hakano. Hicana took over what used to be America and took over what used to be Mexico as her twin Hakano took over what used to be Cuba. Hakano always felt inferior to his sister since she had much more territory than him.
Germany expanded his borders to span across Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, and the northern half of France as Italy, after mourning for his older brother's disappearance, expanded his borders to span across Spain, the southern half of France, and Liechtenstein. The two are still good neighbors and friends but Italy always hopes that they could be something more.
The brothers Australia and Antarctica decided to split Chile and Argentina in half between them, Antarctica would get the southern halves since they were close to him and Australia would get the northern halves. Latvia expanded his borders to span across Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and a part of Great Britain to where Sealand lives and asked him to live with him.
Canada remained at his borders but got Lake Ontario and Erie from Hicana who said that they were useless to her. He found his brother's cat Hero and started raising him with Kumajirou who still couldn't remember his owner's name for once in his life. Finland and Sweden's dog Hanatamago survived and lived with Sealand until they moved to live with Latvia.
Iceland ran to Hong Kong once he heard of the nuclear missile that hit the city-state and destroyed everything. He found his friend and brought him to a hospital in his country which he then later discovered that he had a few minutes to exist and immediately turned him into his capital Reykjavik. He also expanded his borders to span across Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway.
The unclaimed parts of the world that none of the countries claimed were left uncharted in favor for new countries to emerge from them to help fill the Earth again if they promised to not let another world war or nuclear war completely destroy Earth and all traces of life. That was still one problem they faced till today.
It took a while for the surviving countries and personifications to teach the four new countries how to live and represent as a country until they finally got the meaning and different lifestyles to help them flourish in the world. They were also taught that if they got into relationships with each other, war between the two countries will drive them apart.
There was no wars or terrorist attacks as the world slowly repaired itself and the new countries slowly gotten used to being a country on Earth instead of in the stars. None knew about a secret some of the disappeared countries had before they disappeared.
What do you think the secret is?
