Dear Switzerland,

You were right, gunfire DID shut Prussia up. Unfortunately it also woke Germany and I got yelled at. Not that either of them can actually scold me all that harshly, Germany still can't say no to me. Softies...

As much as I would love to come live with you, I think I shall stay where I am. Not because I don't think I could manage without my brothers, but I think they need me more than I need them. I do produce most of our food, after all.

Liechtenstein does seem to be doing very well at the academy; she's been hanging around me a bit more recently for some reason. She seems to be keeping her neutrality as well, not directly rejecting the company of her classmates while still avoiding to get too close to them. She's a joy to be around really, so polite and thoughtful.

Ugh, don't talk to me about those stupid diaries. They take up at least half of our basement, in which I might add that Prussia now lives, and are a pain to dust off. I honestly can't phantom why Vati would want him to write them in the first place.

France, you say? I actually lived with him for a period of time, you know, after WWI. I supposed we could be related somehow. I do not wish to go back to living with him, not in a million years, but I must admit my stay there wasn't entirely unpleasant. As long as I went about my farming and didn't bother anyone, he pretty much let me be and didn't at all do any of the things you might have expected him to do. (It's FRANCE, I don't believe I have to specify myself clearer than that.)

By the way, do you know why Hungary seems to be freaking out about Croatia?

Yours truly,

Rhineland.

Sehr g'ehrts Rhiiland,

I am sorry that Germany shouted at you, but I guess if he is as much of a softie as you say, he cannot do any harm… and he used to have such a fight in him. I guess the EU weakens everybody instead of strengthening them. You better lock Prussia away in his basement; at least he will stay quiet down there.

That is right, take care of your brothers; they can use a firm hand, both of them. Just make sure to remind them who is feeding them through. Yeah, you stay with those two... things are better that way I am sure.

Liechtenstein is with you? Good, then she heeded my advice. It is nice to hear that she is keeping to her strict neutrality; I would not have it any other way. She is such a wonderful person. I am actually preparing to go to the Academy right now, so we might see each other there. I just cannot decide which uniform to take and what guns to pack... surely they will no dare take away my weapons.

I actually do not believe that your father wanted him to write those diaries, that they are more a stupid idea spawned from his more than blown up ego. If they are so bothersome you should consider throwing out the first two hundred or so. This will have two benefits. On the one hand, you will have more space, and on the other, it will annoy your brother. And he cannot retaliate either.

You really do not need to specify about what you expected France to do. It is unusual for him to leave someone alone, especially if he acquired that someone using his "killer tactic". He usually tries to "impose his culture" on them. I do not know how many times I have saved England from that wine bastard, and never once did I hear even a simple "thank you".

Croatia? Oh yeah, I sort of advised him what to if he wanted to leave the EU against the will of his bosses, so he ended up sending five of them to the hospital and freaking out his population. But it is all right, he is beginning a few reformations to make himself a less corrupted and more successful country. Consider him as a little experiment to see whether the EU has not tainted its members too much yet. Of course I did not tell him to go out and shoot his bosses; I just voiced my opinions and left them to be interpreted as he pleased.

Für immer neutral,

Switzerland
