A picture of Michigan appears on screen.
"This is the personification of Michigan. Her human name is Chloe Jones. She was born on January 26th of 1816 and became a state in 1837. Her ancestral roots are mostly German, Dutch, French, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Swedish, Polish, Canadian, Latvian, and Belarusian. Chloe loves mechanics and auto working. You'll often find her in one of the garages but if you don't then she'll be playing ice hockey with Minnesota, North Dakota, and New Jersey. It gets really intense when Canada comes over with his provinces."
"WHAT?!" England exclaimed. "Provinces?!"
"Does that mean..." France struggled to ask.
"Yes, Uncle Mattie has kids too!" Massachusetts shouted from above.
"They're our cousins." Delaware added.
"And don't forget Tia Rosa!" A male southern accent shouted. "She also has states!"
"Mexico has children too?!" Spain exclaimed in outrage.
"Shut up! I can't hear the film." New Jersey snapped.
As Spain sat down his expression darkened. When he found Rosa, he was going to get answers from her. How could she keep the fact that she was a mother from him?
Meanwhile, both England and France became pale. Not one but two of their brothers were parents.

A girl with wavy golden hair and brown eyes appeared on screen.
"This is Elvira Jones, personification of Florida. She was born on March 3rd, 1817, and became a state in 1845. Her most common roots are German, African American, Czech, Greek, Irish, Mexican, Italian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Hungarian, Estonian, and Icelandic. She and California often argue about who has the best beaches but they don't fight as bad as Mass and York or Michigan and Ohio. They're actually pretty close. Elvira loves surfing, scuba diving, and jai alai."
"What the bloody hell is that?" England wondered out loud.
"She manages the orange orchard in the fields and makes the best fruit drinks, especially OJ. She has some pet alligators with Louise too."
The nations paled. Why would America allow his children to have dangerous creatures for pets?!
"What is America thinking?!" China yelled. "Letting his children house dangerous animals that could kill them?!"
"Shut up and watch the movie before I duct tape your mouth shut!" A female southern accent shouted from another balcony.
"Easy, Bama." Delaware called.

"Ja it's awesome." Prussia commented. Romano subconsciously licked his lips.
"Even that is putting it lightly." Lithuania added. Russia and Belarus nodded in agreement.
"Iowa usually decides which direction presidential elections will go. She also loves art and wrestling."
France was horrified that a beautiful girl would be interesting in a sport like wrestling but the Nordics were thinking that Iowa might have inherited their Viking blood.
*Scene changes*

He planted our wheat field and he makes most of our bread."
"Isn't he only twelve though?" France asked, suspiciously.
"I find it hard to believe as well." England muttered. He found it difficult to believe a boy who appeared to be Sealand's age managed to plant a whole wheat field.
*Scene changes*
