Ok so this a little piece I wrote for my au and I haven't written in a while so this is kind of bullshit-
TW: Slur(The bad word for gay I guess)?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the years went by, the United States of America had a lot of faces.
First as ꏳꌅꊿꁲꋖꊿꁲꃔ-, a young girl who had no fear of death itself. The water,land and air that made up the land was hers. She was the bravest person in the entire world! Well, in her mind at least. With bright brown eyes, black hair and clothing that hangs loose, she was on top of the world. With her mother's blessing, maybe one day she could lead the continent, just as her mother would.
Then again maybe that's why she died of a gunshot, thinking she was invincible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then as Roanoke, a timid little boy who was new to the world, literally and figuratively. He and the others were the first British people in the New World. This colony was named Ren by the colonists who lived there. This boy had hazel eyes, hair of the color of the chestnuts that covered land and clothes that were way to big on him.
This boy died first when the colonists started to turn on each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then Jamestown. This young man was able to pass as a child with how short he was compared to his colonists. Over time he learned how to farm and live off the land. He absolutely hated the cold with all his heart, but the one silver lining was his love- Hugh. They did everything together and Jamestown was willing to spend his entire life with him.
Maybe that's why he died of heartbreak when Hugh called him a fag and left him in the woods when Jamestown admitted his love for Hugh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then 13. This young boy was confused young boy with a massive amount of thoughts on about every subject he came across yet never told anyone as fear of being punished. Whether its was about farming or sailing, this boy was willing to learn from his older siblings and uncles on how to be the perfect colony. And above all else, 13 wanted to gain the respect of his father, the great British Empire. 13 wanted to be just like him.
That's why it was surprising to 13 that he died after signing his new name, The United States of America onto the Declaration of Indepence. He had broken away from the chains that he so foolishly locked onto himself when he was younger.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, The United States of America. Or a asshole as Russia would call him. He really didn't give a fuck of what Russia thought about him. United was tall and more muscular than what Roanoke, Jamestown, or 13 could even dream about. He wasn't quiet, everyone in the entire world would agree with him about that. He was himself, and that was all that really matter to him. No longer did he have to hide under the mask of a quiet and timid boy, now he was himself. A boy who loved other men, a boy who loved to spend time with kids and a boy who loved money more than anything on planet Earth.
And so, why in the Fucking Hell is the spirits of his past haunting him since he was born?

Historical Oneshots (Chronological Order)
More historical oneshots are present in Countryhumans Hispanic Heritage Month
A Concerned Friend: Scotland has not heard word from England since the Norman Invasion. So when he got the chance to travel to London to see England again, he jumped at the opportunity. What he discovers is worse than being left in the dark.
The Murder of a Kingdom: Gwynedd had a bad feeling when he was invited to meet with Normandy. He should have listened to that feeling.
The Birth of an Empire: England was prepared to kill Wales by signing the acts disestablishing the Principality of Wales. Unfortunately, that plan backfired, and now England must deal with the consequences.
The Little Empire's Crush: Britain (although he is not yet known by that name) experiences his first crush. It's a shame that it is a man.
The Boy and the Charter: The Virginia character has just been signed. That has some effects on poor Roanoke.
Virginia, Jamestown, and Martial Law: The year is 1610. Jamestown has just been put under martial law. This action will have dangerous and invasive side effects on the two personifications that make up that land. And both of them are helpless to stop it.
Defenestrations: The Kingdom of Bohemia has a city called Prague. Apparently, it's good for throwing people out of windows.
Bonds & Bruises: There are strong bonds that bind countries to their colonies. Ireland despises how his bond with Britain feels.
The Dying Bay: Plymouth's land is about to become a part of Massachusetts Bay. He's made his peace with that, but Massachusetts Bay has not.
What's In A Name?: Even many years after Massachusetts Bay's death, Plymouth still refuses to take on his name. The birth of two new colonies begins to change that.
The New Father: Quebec (formerly known as Canada) has just become a British Colony. Now it is time he learns what that means.
The Silence That Falls When The War Ends: England was badly injured at Bunker Hill. So how did he handle it when he arrived home?
The Ghosts That Haunt You: Plymouth had never gotten over the deaths of Massachusetts Bay and Province of Maine. Statehood only further proved that.
The 11th State: America was so happy that his children were now getting bodies of their own. New York is the most recent, although he has some things to say about it.
Flight Lessons: New York and Pennsylvania were both born with wings. Their first attempt at flying could have gone better.
The New Century: As the 1700s end and the 1800s begins, America reflects back on life and how he got to where he is.
A Little Brother's Guidance: Michigan is unable to see the inner world. A newborn Illinois decides to be his eyes.
The Time Spend In A Gilded Cage: During the War of 1812, Governor Hull surrendered the entire Territory of Michigan to the British. Michigan is forced to live with the British for two years until he is returned to the Americans at the Treaty of Ghent. This details his entire experience during that war and what he experienced.
Parental Rage: The system's POV of Ghent, when they get Michigan back.
An Unwilling Reunion: 1822 Annexation of the Dominican Republic
Remember the Alamo: The End of the Texas Revolution
Blinded: Ireland tried to warn Hawaii of what Britain was truly like. Now he’s paying the price.
The Discovery of a Kindred Spirit: The moment Choctaw decides to donate money to the Irish during the Famine.
Mistakes In Love: Illinois has just learned about the existence of Beaver Island. He's not happy about it.
Shot From the Sky: The Battle of Vicksburg was a huge Union victory. Unfortunately for the Union, Michigan was seriously injured and nearly killed by his sister, Mississippi, during the battle.
Peshtigo: The Peshtigo fire was a brutal fire that ravaged Wisconsin. Both the state and its personification. Luckily, Wisconsin's family is there to help her.
The Faceless People You Have Yet To Meet: When Hawaiʻi became a part of the United States, she expected many things. However, she did not expect everyone to be talking about people who didn't exist and act like she was in the wrong for being confused about who they were. AKA Hawaiʻi becomes a US Territory, and the states forget to tell her about America having DID.
Texas Gets a Concussion (and he totally deserved it): Texas is furious after hearing about how the new territory of Hawaii burned his brother, Alaska. So he decides to confront Hawaii about it himself. (A Rewrite of a Scene from Texas' POV from the book "Born of Fire" by @aloha-from-angel)
The Death of Unity: The Japanese Empire was about to annex the Korean Empire after years of breaking him down. Korea still refuses to give in.
Celtic Brothers: Ireland is newly independent and struggling with chronic pain and an injury that has left him disabled. Good thing Scotland is there to help.
We Should Know Who We Are: Finland has been looking forward to meeting the new country of Estonia.
The Identity of the State: Illinois is in deep, deep trouble.
Delusions and Poison: Russia wants his “son” to forget his past. And Russia will do whatever it takes to make that possible.
Lost: The Karelian ASSR is a loyal citizen to his country and father, Russia. He helps remove the arm of Imperialist Finland and is hailed as a hero. So why does a part of him think his life is so wrong? Why does a part of him want to call Imperialist Finland father?
The Power of a Puppet: Philippines was trying his best to fight off the control of the puppet state put in place by the Empire of Japan. His efforts were not always successful.
Giving In: The American Troops have surrendered at Bataan. Philippines can't fight off the puppet any longer.
The Puppet Master: Philippines is now under the control of the puppet state, so it is time for him to meet his new master.
Puppet State: The Philippines has been trapped as Japan’s puppet for months now, and as Japan slowly breaks his mental state, she has another person she wants his help in breaking. His daughter, Guam.
Strike Back: Ohio and North Carolina were always the pilots of the family. So when they were informed of the plan now known as the Dolittle Raid, they were eager to participate.
A Concerned Father: America is very worried about Kentucky, a prisoner of Japan for over a month. He decides to see if the Red Cross organizations know anything about him.
When The Land Lacks a Host: When the Allies occupied Germany, they killed the personification of the nation and prevented a new one from being born. Turns out that has consequences.
One Good Leg: America got shot in the leg in the Battle of Okinawa. The person who saved him was not the person he was expecting.
The Other Side of the United States: America loves his kids, which sometimes makes it hard to remember he's an empire. Here's your reminder.
The North and the South: The births of North Korea and South Korea.
Becoming a Satellite: Hungary is about to become a satellite state. Shame he doesn’t know what it entails.
False Love of a False Father: Hungary knew the consequences would be dire if he lost the Hungarian Revolution. He still fights them regardless.
The Satellite Inspection: Soviet likes inspecting his satellites to make sure they are turning out like he wants them too. Sometimes, they aren’t. That’s when things get bad for them.
The Not So Good Friday: It was a peaceful Good Friday in 1964, and Alaska was enjoying his afternoon in Anchorage. Then he got hit by an earthquake.
The Meaning of Freedom: Philippines has not been having a fun time in the 20th century, as his mind is ripped away from him again and again. But finally, his mind is freed and he can begin to heal.
Kindred Spirits: Ireland had been helped by a lot of people during his Famine. The one he remembers the most fondly is the Choctaw Nation.
Successor: Poland doesn’t think he deserves to be Poland. His father disagrees.
Checkmate: Croatia has just signed the Sarajevo Agreement, a big step towards her independence.
The Nightmare: Finland's dreams are full of regret.
The River: Delaware and New Jersey don't exactly get along. A border conflict makes this worse.
Confessions: Britain is a terrible father, but he has many favorites, picked because of their majority white populations and their lack of a native personification as a birth parent. Or so they thought.

America's Family Explained [Countryhumans]
Fitting that I start off what I hope will be a little series with headcanons about my favorite countryhuman. As biased as I may be, I also just know the most about US history, so it seemed like the place to start. I've tried to combine actual history with sensical storytelling, because the most by-the-book interpretation doesn't always line up with what makes sense for a character backstory and I've taken some liberties in those cases. I will also be explaining the reason behind my headcanons in case people want to know how I got from A to B, not just dropping them and running
Also, disclaimer that this is MY PERSONAL headcanon/AU. You are free to agree with it or not, but don't leave hate telling me why I'm wrong, just move on because there's no established cannon in this fandom and we can all do whatever we want provided it's not wildly offensive.
Part I: Birthday
Establishing America's birthday seems like a silly thing to do, both because most people are going to immediately assume it's July 4th, 1776 and because it seems such a trivial thing to headcanon unless you're specifically setting out to write a fic celebrating his birthday.
Establishing his birthday, however, is actually really important to everything else I'm going to talk about. First of all, 1776 can't be America's birth year because that would mean that a) he just popped into existence fully formed b) he would miss all of the influential American Revolution events that took place before that and c) it doesn't make sense with the allegory of teenage America rebelling against his overbearing father Britain that I like so much. Instead, I picked the year 1607, because it is the year Jamestown, the first permanent British colony in the Americas, was established. Technically, his birthday should be May 13th, but I like having it on July 4th better, so his birthday is July 4th, 1607.
Part II: Parents
America's parents are Kingdom of France and Britain (The modern UK). This is a debated topic within the fandom from what I've seen, because the common idea that America's parents are France and Britain just doesn't really make historical sense, and frankly I agree.
As for France, modern France is technically the fifth Republic, which didn't come into existence until 1981, but even if you wanted to group all the iterations of French democracy together into a single personification (I don't, but theoretically), that still puts her 18th birthday in 1791 (countries turn 18 when they become independent), meaning it's really unlikely she would have been around and of any reasonable age to bear children in 1607 without any good reason to, therefor I have made Kingdom of France (her grandmother) the mother of America and his full siblings.
The reason this doesn't apply to Britain is because I'm considering the 1535 union of England and Whales as the beginning of British rule rather than the 1707 union of England and Scotland, which is when the name Great Britain formally began to be used. This means he is around to father America in 1607.
Obviously, France and Britain were at odds during this period, but they had entered into an arranged marriage when they were younger and were obligated to have children out of it, thus America and his sibs exist without breaking the universe and having this version of France and Britain actually like each other.
Obviously, there are a couple other candidates for America's parents that I could have used. Technically, Spain makes a lot of sense, but the Spanish Empire is male and married to Kingdom of Portugal in my AU, and Britain as the father is non-negotiable to me, so this isn't an option. I know some people headcanon Native America as his mother, but I feel like combining the entire scope of native culture/language/etc. into a single personification doesn't really make much sense and Kingdom of France works better story/wise (though for what it's worth the different Native American tribes/nations/confederations do have personifications).
Part III: Family
America has a lot of half-siblings between all the British and French colonies, so I'll only be focusing on his full siblings. Canada and Australia are the other two full sovereign nations in this group, Canada for obvious reasons, and Australia because Dutch Empire (the other European candidate for his parent) is also male in my AU, so they needed a mom and Kingdom of France makes the most sense due to being Britain's wife, even though there's no real French colonial history there. I don't have an aboriginal tribe as their mom for the same reason I don't have Native America as America's mom. New Zealand was also raised alongside the four of them, though her mom is actually Maori.
Besides that, America also has two twins--Confederate and Virginia (who was born Jamestown Colony)-- and the other 12 original colonies + the states they would eventually split into are his younger siblings.
The states are obviously America's children, but they're a mix of biological and adopted, and a couple more are at least partial siblings (Louisiana and Washington, for example) by blood, but they all view him as a father figure so I'm going to avoid the minutia in this post.
Ending thoughts
I think I'm going to work my way through the British/French family next for this little headcanon series, but I'll probably keep going until I stop having fun or don't have anything else to say. I'll eventually probably talk about character arcs & histories, but I'm trying to ease into this and not promise too much because I have a bad track record for putting a lot of pressure on myself over a fandom project and then quitting it entirely.
With that being said, feel free to drop and ask if you want to know my HCs about a specific country or some more elaboration on something I mentioned here. I have a pretty developed AU in my head/in google docs so there's a good chance I'll have something to say. No promises if you ask about something I don't really know anything about. I'm absolutely in favor of talking about niche subjects and less popular countries within this fandom, but that does mean I would have to do the research, and I can't promise to have the time or energy for that.

HEya, idk why I'm doing this, but h e r e ' s s o m e i n p u t - (hi, yes, I've been "stalking"—as my friends and I put it��your blog for a while, um)
My personal headcanons for birth years are: US = 1607; USSR (though I don't really use him often so I'm just offhanding this one) = 1905; Russia = 1922; and Reich = 1920
Reasons for this are (going backwards ;D): Reich and Russia these ages because of what you said. Russia's father, for me, is the USSR, so- And then Reich's father is, ironically enough, the Weimer Republic. Lots of ignoring and stuff there, but that's unrelated. Anyhow, USSR as this age because- …idk. I don't honestly know much about Russia's history, so I'm just sTEALING yours :D. THEN we got America. I headcanon him to be born in 1607 because, fun fact, the first permanent English settlement here, Jamestown, was established then! I like to make clever (hopefully) references to history, so I tend to go for less 100% accurate things with countryhumans stuff, but I prefer this because it makes America a bit older than most would usually use, and it also has how the first proper settlement of New England was made in 1607
Basically, I just felt like showing some of my own thoughts, just in case you might see! Idk why, don't ask. Probably just to show off America's age headcanon. But yeah, 𝑒𝓃𝒿𝑜𝓎
Accurate ages of the Countryhumans
United States of America: If you assume his birthday is on the 4th July (independence day), he would have been born in 1776. This would make the U.S. 244 years old. (because 2020-1776 is 244)
Btw: The British only recognitionsed U.S.’s independence in 1783. If you want to choose this date instead, U.S. would be 237 years old.
BUT if you choose one of these dates as birthday it would also mean that this version of the U.S. has been independent since his birth, which also would mean that the UK can’t be the father of the U.S. If you want that the U.S. to be UK’s son, he would have to been born earlier.
If U.S. should be UK’s son, the U.S. could have been born 1707 (not sure what exact date though) and his name wouldn’t be U.S. yet, but actually “British America” or “Thirteen Colonies”. He also would be a lot smaller, because he only consitsts of the 13 colonies: New York, Pennyslyvania, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina… etc. (Only the east part of the U.S. nowadays was part of it) The other colonies (who nowadays belong to the U.S. as well) belonged to other countries. For examble Mexico. These were added to the U.S. later. It would make sense that the U.S. “child” version would be the Thirteen Colonies, because these 13 colonies were the ones who got their independence from the UK. This date would make the U.S. 313 years old today.
My conclusion: The most accurate ages for the U.S. would be: 237, 244 or 313 years old.
USSR: If you assume his birthday is his foundation date (30th December 1922). He would be 98 years old now. And 69 years old during his death.
BUT this would also mean that he: * Never did a Russian Revoltion (which would be sad, because it’s basically the reason why he exists) * Never met the Russian Empire and therefore the Russian Empire can’t be his father. This would also be sad, because a lot of people have a headcanon that the Russian Empire is the father of the USSR.
A better date might be the start of the Russian Revolution (1905). Russian Empire could be USSR’s father and the USSR is rebeling against him. My personal headcanon is that the USSR kills the Russian Empire. After the Russian Empire’s death the USSR gets the power over the territory of the Russian Empire. This would make USSR 155 years old today. And 86 years old during his death.
My conclusion: The most accurate ages for the USSR would be: 69(death)/98(now) or 96(death)/155(now) years old.
Russia: If you assume his birthday is on the 12th June (national day), he would have been born in 1990. On the 11th June 1990 the “The Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian RSFSR” has been created and one day later (12th June) it was ratified. It basically says that the RSFR (The Russian state of the USSR) should have a priority of the constitution and laws over legislation of the Soviet Union. This would make him 30 years old now. It would also mean that the USSR could have been the father of Russia, because the USSR fell in 1991, which is one year later. But it would also mean that Russia would have a diffrent flag during 1990. (The Flag of the RSFR)
If you assume that Russia has been born after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he would be 29. The USSR could not be Russia’s father, because he is already dead. But it also means that Russia does not go through a flag change.
If you assume that Russia has been born as the RSFSR (as a republic of the USSR) he could have been either born on the 1917 or 1922. Please remember that this would mean that Russia has the flag of the RFSR until USSR’s dissolution.
1917: The RSFSR has been independent/sovereign state from 1917-1922. If you want USSR to be Russia’s father, Russia could only be USSR’s adoptive son and the USSR would have to been born during 1905 for this to work. Russia would be 103 years old then.
1922: The foundation date of the USSR. If you want USSR to be Russia’s father, Russia would be USSR’s “biologically” son. The USSR would have to been born during 1905 for this to work. Russia would be 98 years old then
My conclusion: The most accurate ages for Russia would be: 29, 30, 98 or 103 years old. (Either way, he will always be younger than America.)
Third Reich: Propably the most interesting to go through, because a lot of people like to make the “He is 12 years old” joke.
If you assume that Reich has been born 1933, he would indeed be 12 during his death and 87 nowadays.
Obviously 12 years old is compared to the other countries listed here young af, so here’s an option number two: The Third Reich could have been born on the 14th February 1920 instead. This was the date the National Socialist German Workers’ Party was created. This could make the Weimar Repulic his older sibling (born 1918) or even his father. Obviously he wouldn’t like the Weimar Repulic, so maybe he killed Weimar, such like my headcanon is that the USSR killed the Russian Empire. Either way, if Reich was born 1920 he would have been 25 years old during his death, which would make your nsfw fanfiction acceptable, lmao. And nowadays he would be exactly 100 years old.
My conclusion: The most accurate ages for the Third Reich would be: 12(death)/87(now) or 25(death)/100(now) years old.
Note: I’m not telling anyone to follow any of this. Do as you please. This is just what I think would be historically the most accurate.
