Ivan Braginski sits on the grass and sobs; a bump can be seen on his head. The narrator says that in the 17th century, Sweden, Finland, and Germany created "New Sweden," a colony that would later become Delaware. The pioneers picked a fight with the Dutch, which caused Holland to invade and defeat them.
Ivan Braginski asks for England and France to hear him out. France asks what happened while England asks if he tripped and fell. Ivan Braginski replies that he and Sweden build a villa, but was beaten by Holland. While the two nations agree that it's a bad situation, they secretly think the land will eventually be his anyway. Ivan Braginski mentions the appearance of a mysterious boy. He says that the boy doesn't appear to be from the neighboring villages, then worries about what could happen if Holland finds him.
After asking Ivan Braginski about the boy, France and England consider that they might be one of them. The three wonder if he could be their little brother, although France and England start fighting over him, as Ivan Braginski watches.
England returns to find ChibiAmerica holding a rabbit. America is happy to see him, even though England is confused why he hasn't run away. America says he learned about about himself. England is glad to see ChibiAmerica and decides that he would be his younger brother. ChibiAmerica calls England his big brother, causing England to become startled as he remembers that his brother, Scotland (represented by a bird) hitting his head, a younger France saying that England would be his slave, a beat up Spain swearing revenge on him, a messenger telling England one of his brothers sent him a curse on a note, and Henry VIII telling him he's mad that he can't marry a young girl. Wiping away his tears, England tells ChibiAmerica to just call him England.
"Baby Japan"
Characters - China, Japan
Since China is 4000 years old and Japan's age isn't known, we're not going to list them.
China stresses how his body has been aching because of the political struggles, while walking through a forest. He quickly stops, noticing a child standing in the middle of the forest. He sees the child as a new nation, saying how small he is and how tough it must be for him to be born in such loneliness. He introduces himself to the child, and Japan replies "Hello, China of where the sun sets, I am Japan of where the sun rises."
China: That wasn't very nice!
