Dear United States,

Once upon a time your country really genuinely was founded on great principles by people who, although certainly not perfect, strove to do and create something better. Better than what they'd had before and perhaps even better than they themselves thought they could be! And founded on those ideals despite the inevitable stumbles and mistakes as a country you really do have the potential to be something great, be something special in this world if only you'd throw aside the idiocy and the bigotry, ignore the stupidity and just try to live up to those ideals by which your country was founded. Not word for word, times have changed after all, but in spirit and principle as I like to think it was intended!

So do it, be the country you know you can be. Maybe the rest of the world can be harsh on you but that's not usually out of hate or jealousy... it's because you have the potential to be so very much better.

Love, Canada

 

[King of Asgaard]

Germany: They're very efficient... very efficient, and quite good at manufacturing war machines.
Italy: Amazing Renaissance period art in all forms (plus it inspired AC2)
Japan: They've provided some of my favourite games and anime.
America:

Spoiler

They know how to bomb brown people!

France: Thank you for being so mockable.

 

[Syzygy23]

Hey Russia: I love the language, and the Vodka and the attitude. If it wasn't cold as fuck all the time and the politicians weren't so open about their dickery I'd totally move there.

You philistines oughta be shot for not referencing that yet.

 

[Ryotknife]

UK: thank you for Top Gear. I am not even a car fan and i love this show. It enriched my life. Also thank you for being one of the handful of countries not afraid to help others.

Canada: Thanks for being chill. Also thank you for the beer (although american beer has been getting slightly better in the past decade, still thanks for pulling so much of the slack). Also thank you for soda made from actual sugar instead of syrup.

Germany: Thank you for your engineering, your cars, and the Autobahn

Japan: thank you for being so unique compared to the West. Also thank you for the video games you made and....some of the anime.

Australia: Thanks for being chill as well and for your accents. Now get cracking on that micro jelly fish the size of a thumbnail that can kill you with a brief touch problem so i can scuba dive or snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef before i die.

 

[Reaper195]

Thank you, Scotland. You gave me my awesome sauce heritage, have an amazing accent that sounds awesome, gave the world Sean Connery and Billy Connelly, and during summer, don't boil your citizens bollocks off. And during winter, most of the citizens are smart enough to have fires going, or thousands of other ways to keep warm.

 

[Azurian]

Thank you Canada you made my childhood awesome and made me feel guilty whenever I won a game on my computer.

 

[kickassfrog]

Jamaica: You are underacknowledged in this thread, and for that I am sorry.
You are home to a lot of the world's fastest people, you are sunny and have beautiful beaches, and the Jamaican accent is amongst the best in the world.

Cuba: You took on the Americans in the cuban missile crisis thing, and your cigars are pretty badass, too. Also, Fidel Castro is completely assassin proof. I'd like to see him in an Assassins Creed game.


Show some respect for the less famous countries, guys.
