There was only one room in England's house that no other nation knew about. It was a small room in the attic and even if you had the blueprints of the house it would be quite difficult to find it. However, to make sure that no nation even could get close to finding it, England had placed several powerful charms on the room to keep it hidden. He had spent a lot of time on these spells, so they were very hard to detect. In fact, many powerful magicians (such as Norway and Romania) would not even be able to sense that there was a spell there!
Inside the room there were several different items that seemed to be completely randomly placed, with no relation whatsoever: worn yellow punch bags hung from the ceiling; an electric guitar, with a Union Jack flag painted on, stood on a stand beside an bass guitar and an amp; ancient rocks with carvings of Britannia's time stood proudly on bookshelves next to several popular British books, both old and new; a comfortable sofa was placed in front of a flat screen TV and beside it were piles of famous British television shows; and finally, in the centre of the room was a circular stand that was full of pictures. There were hundreds of images on this stand, and there was at least one image of every living nations (and there were even a few paintings of the deceased nations).
This stand looked very out of place in the middle of a room of things that meant something to England, but even though he did not show it very much, the other nations did actually mean quite a lot to England. If you took a closer look at the stand, you would notice that some nations had more images than other. Obviously, there were quite a lot of pictures of England's former colonies and there were also more pictures of countries that were in Europe or that were allies with England. Finally, in pride of place at the top of the stand, there was a photograph of all the nations together.
Every time the Olympic games happen, all the nations in the world would pose together for a photo. This photo had been taken during the 2012 Olympics, and so England and his brothers were standing proudly in the centre of the image. It was one of England's happiest memories. All the other nations had gathered in London, and thanks to all the hard work done by his citizens, the games had been a huge success. Everyone in the picture had been enjoying themselves, and most of the citizens of the UK were having a great time (of course there were a few people who hated it, but there will always be someone who find something to complain about). This was one of the memories that England liked to look back on when he was in a bad mood to remind himself of one of the happiest times of his life.
England was currently in this room, and was sitting on the worn out sofa, reading a book and trying to forget about what had happened during the meeting. He had created this room 20 years ago after the G8 had forced him and Romano to go to anger management lessons together, and since he did not want to be forced to go to them again, (because it was very embarrassing) he had created this room. It was a place where he could go to calm down and take out his anger without hurting anyone, and thanks to it France was getting punched a lot less. Unfortunately, Romano had not tried to do anything about his anger, and he was still being forced to go to the sessions by Spain, Germany and North Italy.
Putting down his book, England walked over to the stand in the centre of the room. While he was looking at the pictures, he thought back to how stupid he had been during the world meeting. Why did he overreact so badly? Of course it slightly hurt him every time France called him the 'Black sheep of Europe', but why did he have to say it right after he had performed the spell to conceal his secret? No, he couldn't think like that. If he got too emotional before the spell was fully completed, then what would happen? Everyone might find out his secret… No! He must keep his emotions under control! Remember England, stiff upper lip, stiff upper lip.
However, the thing that England was worrying about the most was not his emotions. He knew that several different nations would come to his house to ask him why he left the meeting. Some would be angry at him, some would want to tease him about it, and a few, just a few might be worried about him. This was another reason for him to keep calm, he did not want to make the other nations any more suspicious in case they found out about him. Walking over to the kettle to make himself some much needed tea, England took a deep breath and prepared himself for the onslaught of nations.
