Trettiende april:

Mexico:

2019

Eulalia, Mexico, leaned backwards and drew in a deep breath, just soaking up the pure joy and pleasure her younger people, the children, across her country exuded.

She'd taken a breather during the games she'd helped arrange and organize. This, and her active participating today, had caused this over-two-hundred-and-ten-year-old Nation to need a break.

Luckily, she only needed thirty-five seconds of soaking to get invigorated enough to keep up with the kids again.

USA:

Every year, on the same day, today (30th April) to the same time (12:00 AM, New York Time), Alfred F. Jones, the Personification of the Nation of United States of America (USA; America), would send an individual video message to every Nation, Region, Micronation and so on, whom he'd lied to, or been omitting the truth to, or just not been completely honest to, the preceding year and come clean in the most honest way possible (unless it made him reveal State Secrets). Mostly, it was things the recipients had already guessed the truth about (America wasn't always that good at lying), but there were small tidbits that could surprise them.

The videos always started the same:

"Hi, it's me; the World's Superhero America! I wanted to tell you something that I've neglected to tell you …"

But after that, the contents varied from person to person, and from year to year. Canada and England were some of the few whom got pretty much the same message each year.

Canada got a list of qualities and occasions which had made America jealous of him, with an in-depth explanation of why.

England got a list of compliments from America (some of which were XXX-rated), an admission of every time he'd just teased him and a confession of how many movies and video games that had scared him shitless (as if England didn't already know).

The ending, which was the same for each recipient, varied from year to year. This year:

"And finally, I just had to tell you that I purposefully told about every crazy thing my Boss has made me do to guilt-trip you into celebrating Global Family Day, which you probably already have guessed. What I don't think you know however is; I'd made a bet with Molossia about how many Nations I could get to do that.

Until next year,

The Hero signs out"

Author's notes:

When I first planned this story, the Covid-19 hadn't even started, so naturally, Mexico's section was supposed to have happened this year. But I decided to instead make it last year.
