Lieber Feliciano,
that is good, since I wouldn't want to be forced to report you two. Economics aren't easy, but they are no sorcery either. So do I have to explain officialism to you as well? Maybe I should show you a way to organize an office that makes it possible for you to find your notes again. Which side are you on, the mafia's or your state's? You have to try and find a way to get out of the red.
Sometimes I get this impression. I seriously don't understand what is supposed to be funny about three grown-up men behaving like three-years-olds. When they have work to do they have work to do and of course I will drag them back to their offices when I get the chance. They should keep that in mind before they get drunk.
I told you it is not as bad as it sounds. Don't worry.
You will learn do to it right after a while. I remember that weird mustache, but I still don't understand what Romano intended to do with it at that time. Thank you, but please don't inconvenience yourself.
Bad influence in as far as I dragged you into the war and tried to make a good soldier out of you. You used to bring weapons to meetings too? I didn't have notice of that. I am beginning to wonder if I am the only one who attends the meetings unarmed...
Na ja, as I said earlier it was news to me that there are times Romano is not angry. You will feel a little relieved as soon as you don't have to hide it from your brother anymore, that is what I wanted to say. There will be one thing less that occupies your mind.
Gilbert gets his work done properly nowadays and he can work if he wants. After being a socialistic planned economy for about 40 years he had to get used to the Federal Republic's capitalistic market economy within short time, which wasn't exactly easy and still causes problems from time to time. But Gilbert did a good job with the former GDR's modernisation. He still complains that he used to be a better warrior than deskjockey though. Bavaria is actually pretty good with paper-work, but he has a mind of his own and not always meddles in my work in my sense. He calls the EU another bunch of free-loaders and he holds grudges because the EU passed laws in the past that forced him to change some of his traditional habits. I am not sure if he wouldn't be upset, since he doesn't like me and still keeps asking for independence every now and then.
No, it is because I consider it a waste of time.
Viele Grüße, Ludwig

Lieber Schweiz,
it is only natural to set these things right in order to prevent rumours. It sure is, but Italy won't understand when I tell him. Ja, a water pistol. You have to keep a balance of means. Let me explain it by an example. At the meeting in August Liechtenstein dropped her pen accidentally and Austria picked it up for her. For whatever reason you had to add to her "Dankeschön" a "Hand my sister's property back without touching her and then back off slowly and so that I can see your hands!" while pointing a gun at him. Are you seriously of the oppinion that this was not exaggerated? I still can't figure out why you don't want anyone to know that you don't hate the entire world though.
Viele Grüße, Deutschland

Mio Amico Luddi,
Ve, I promise to keep my lips sealed~ Luddi, what does officialism have to do with this? Organize my study? Ve, I don't really think it's dirty though... I usually find my work and my pens and everything, but I can never remember where I put my notes... It's strange, ve! Which side am I on? I-I'm not sure, I have to help both of them~ A lot of the members are members because it's the only way they can support their families, I can't let them be arrested for that, Luddi! That would be wrong, butut if we can't get out of the red... I-I don't know which side, Luddi, I'm just trying to help the people the only ways I know how...
That's what I thought he was doing, he does want to beat Mr. Russia very much in a drinking contest! Like three-year-olds? Ve, I always thought they were acting more like silly teenagers, but maybe I was just thinking wrong...B-But Luddi, I promised! Per favore, what if I send them back to their offices after making them breakfast? Would that be okay??
W-Well, if Luddi is sure... I'll just always ask Luddi if I can light fireworks before I do when he's over or I'm at his place, prometto!
You think so? Yay, I hope I do, it would be so helpful~ Ve, if I remember correctly, he always thought you'd look funny with a mustache so he'd pull it out to make you look silly, but it would make him look weird because of how he held it! Lovi always got so sad after you pointed that out... It's not an inconvenience, I like cooking for Luddi! Besides, I always make too much and I don't want it to go to waste~
Oh, I understand now! Ve, you didn't drag me into the war, my boss may God send his soul where it belongs had us join, and you did your best to make sure that Lovi and I were able to fight back if retreating didn't work. Luddi was just trying to take care of us in his own way, how is that being a bad influence, ve? Si, I would hide a knife in my right boot because Lovi said he didn't want me going the the meetings alone without something to defend myself with. I never ever used it though, I didn't want to hurt anyone. And I don't bring it anymore, even though I tell Lovi I do. I haven't brought it at all in the last few years, I promise!
Ve, Lovi's never really angry though! Irritated or upset, maybe, but never angry! Lovi gets really really really quiet when he's angry, it's scary... I like it better when he's yelling because then I know that I can eventually calm him down! Oh...Well, I promise I'll tell him once he's not angry about Berlusconi, telling him too many bad things at once might really bother him and I don't want to do that. ...Grazie, Luddi, I feel a bit better now...
Wow, Gilbert did all that that quickly?? Ve, he really is awesome~ Oh, I remember hearing about his battles when I was living with fratellone Francis after Napoleon took over most of Italia, or when he was fighting with Mr. Roderich about unifying the Germanic states, he was the best ally you could have! ...That's when he found you, I think! I never got to see Luddi when he was little though, I was fighting Mr. Roderich for independance with Lovi at the time. Ve, I might have seen you in 1866, when Lovi and I went to sign an alliance with Gilbert to help us beat Mr. Roderich, and then he helped us by beating fratellone Francis so we could get Lovi's heart back! Your brother was an amazing fighter Luddi~
Ve, he meddles with your work? What does Mr. Bavaria do? ...oh, w-well... Tell him mi dispiace from me, va bene? I don't mean to borrow so much money... He doesn't like Luddi? But you're fratelli, why wouldn't he like you? Fratelli and famiglia in general are supposed to stick together no matter what, aren't they? I keep hearing about everyone having problems with their siblings, I thought everyone loved their family, is it not normal to get along with siblings and I just didn't notice, Luddi?
Tuo Amico, Feliciano

Lieber Feliciano,
by organising your office I meant your system for filing, not cleaning. You have to get some labeled files and folders for your notes so that you can find them easily in case you need them. That might be right for some of the members. Nevertheless you have to consider the whole situation, not just individual cases. What about the victims? Furthermore you have to take a long view. They might be able to earn enough money to support their family for now, but when you give them the chance to make the grade and do an apprenticeship, they will have a good chance to do so in the long-run and legally. Sooner or later you have to break the cycle of crime or the mafia will prosper while your country will be ruined.
Gilbert should give that up. I don't think he will stand a chance against Russia as long as he can't even rival his own siblings. Three-years-olds or teenagers, whatever. Fact is that they don't act their age and apparently have no intention of growing up. They have to start working on time. So if you wake them up early enough, I have no objections.
That I look funny with a mustache? No offence, but I am afraid that I don't understand your brother's sense of humour. Romano really looked weird with the thing though. If that is so, I will accept your offer with thanks.
It was not about fighting back if retreating didn't work, but about attacking... Oh, never mind. We won't do that again anyway (I hope). Oh je... When even you brought weapons to world meetings it is probably high time that we put this topic on the agenda. We live in peaceful times now, so we should set a good example and abstain from weapons.
Well, you know your brother best after all. No need to thank me, Feliciano.
That is right, Gilbert is awesome, but as he keeps shouting that out so much it is sometimes hard not to contradict. Most of his battles I only know from history books or his brags. Personally I only saw him fighting in three or four wars, but he was impressive then. Before 1870 my older siblings used to fight each other most of the time, so the others might not agree on Gilbert being amazing. It depends on who you ask though. Brandenburg e.g. always liked and admired him, wheareas Bavaria and Saxony couldn't stand him. To be honest, I can't remember much of that time. My earliest memory was when I woke up in Gilberts old house in Königsberg and he sat at my bedside. That must have been in the early 19th century. Gilbert was quite protective of me back then.
He does. Bavaria's boss is also my boss's sister party's boss, so he is kind of "the third man", which gives Bavaria a little say too. Don't bother. Bavaria is complaining about money all the time, but nevertheless he supports our poorer siblings financially since decades. He is actually a nice guy, but just wouldn't admit it. He doesn't like me too much unfortunately. Joseph has always been hardheaded and tried several times to become independent again, be it from the Holy Roman Empire or later me. Of course we have our family ties too. Deep within we all love each other... It's just that this "deep" for some of them is a little "deeper" than for others.
Viele Grüße, Ludwig

Mio Amico Luddi,
Oh, I understand~ Ve, I don't have a filing system, really. Sice no one goes into my office but Lovi and I everything usually stays where I leave it! I think my notes are running away from me, Luddi! It's the only explanation.
I can't punish the members who do this because they have no other choice, Luddi, I can't... A-And I know that this can't continue, but at the same time I can't just shut down the Famiglia, not so suddenly. The polizia wouldn't be able to catch everyone and a lot of the money will vanish out of the country, which defeats the purpose of taking the Famiglia down in the first place. The Famiglia is an unofficial deterrent for other criminals, we control most crime in the underworld, if the Famiglia was taken out of operation the crime rate would increase dramatically... I-It's hard to decide, there are so many bad things that can happen either way~
Ve, have you told him that? He won't listen to anyone but you, Luddi. Oh, I think Mr. Roderich actually beat Gilbert in a drinking competition once, it was funny but also really sad to see how upset Gilbert was after he woke up. He has been raising his tolerance by a lot though! What's the fun in growing up though, Luddi? How can we act our ages when we're all so old? Besides, they're only in their twenties, they're acting the way people their human age are supposed to~ But I will wake them up earlier, I'll even make my hangover remedy for them before breakfast! That should help, ve~
Don't worry Luddi, I don't understand his humor either~ He still thinks it's funny that Mr. Roderich and Ms. Elizaveta used to think I was a girl when I was little~
But Luddi, soldiers always fight better when they're defending, not attacking, that's what I remember Luddi teaching me~ Ve, I hope we don't have to either, but there is so much arguing going on right now... I haven't brought the knife since the nineties, Luddi, I promise!
No, I do have to thank Luddi! If he didn't make me tell him, I wouldn't have told anyone until the Moses Project was finished and someone asked about it, or...or until there was no hope of saving Venezia. Ma, Luddi is right that I have to tell Lovi soon. Luddi is always looking out for me, grazie grazie grazie~ I've sent you some patate pasticciate, I hope you like it!
Ve, Luddi only saw four of Gilbert's wars? Veeee, that's so little~ The only nation who fought as much as Gilbert was Artu, but maybe fratellone Antonio too! I remember hearing a lot about the Germanic states fighting, but I was still living with either fratellone Francis and Mr. Roderich. I still don't know why they fought so much, Lovi keeps trying to tell me it was becaue I was such a good maid but I don't think that's it. Ve, there used to be so much fighting, it almost seems too quiet now. ...After what happened before, I'm not surprised Gilbert iswas so protective of Luddi.
...That sounds complicated~ Wouldn't he have some say just because he's your big brother? M-Ma, wouldn't he like an apology anyway, even if he's used to it? Or maybe a thank-you, he might like that...Ve, I'm sure he's nice, he's related to Gilbert and Luddi, after all! Ve, I didn't know that! I never saw him and I lived with Austria and...H-Holy Roman Empire. V-Ve, maybe he just didn't live in the main house like we did?
Oh, kind of like Artu and his siblings? I understand now! Ve, I wouldn't like that very much though, I love how close Lovi and I are~
Tuo Amico, Feliciano

Lieber Feliciano,
oh mein Gott! I think I just felt as if I was struck by lightning. How on earth can you not have a filing system? You need to get your office organized as soon as possible. How could you possibly ever work properly-... oh, my fault. No, Feliciano, they are not running away. You will surely find all of them when you tidy up... *sigh* Do you need help or can you do this by yourself?
I never said that you had to make them stop or arrest them immediately. I am well aware that this development will take its time. But you need to get started some time or the situation will never improve. You have to offer them a better way of making a living than with illegal actions. Best would probably be to ask for an expert's help.
I didn't have the chance yet, since I had no notice of his drinking contest with Russia. Actually I can imagine that well. Austria might not look like it, but after Bavaria and Czechia his people are the world's third heaviest beer drinkers. Let me put it differently then: As personifications of countries they carry responsibility and should act accordingly. They have to make sure that their country and people as well as their work for them stay unaffected by their stupid excesses.
That Austria and Hungary thought you were a girl when you were a child, I did not know either. How did that come about?
Ja, I guess I said that... There will probably always a lot of arguing going on. But I hope that in future we can sort our dissents out without armed force. Okay, I believe you when you say so.
You are welcome, Feliciano. I hope you can talk to your brother soon. Uhm... Thanks again. Honestly, you don't need to trouble yourself on my account. Who is supposed to eat so much anyway...?
Compared to how long most other European countries have known Gilbert it surely is very little. Most of the fighting happened before I was around. When you have lived with Austria you must have witnessed some of my siblings' wars at least, since Austria used to belong to the Holy Roman Empire and later to the German Confederation too. Unfortunately I can't aswer your question either, or rather tell you something I don't only know from a history book. Have you ever tried to ask Austria or Spain? I am happy about this quiet though. ... "What happened before" you say? Can you tell me what that was? I have no memory about anything that happened before I woke up that day. But considering how worried, yet somehow relieved Gilbert looked it must have been terrible.
That is right, everyone of my siblings who are federal states has a say, since Germany is a federal republic and not a centralistic state. But Bavaria's influence is a little bigger since his boss is the head of one of the three governing parties. *sigh* I give thanks to him often, but he is... complicated. Really, you never saw hiim? That's strange. Bavaria is one of my oldest brothers and he has always been close to Austria. Well, that was a long time before I was there, so I wouldn't know, but knowing Bavaria he surely would have prefered to stay in his own country. He does the same nowadays.
Maybe it is comparable to England's family. I am aware that you and your brother are very close, but I don't think that could ever work for my family.
Viele Grüße, Ludwig

I dont hate Seychelles. Thats all the rest of the world needs to know. Viele Grüße, Schweiz ((XD you and Feli ~ I could barely find this ))

Lieber Japan, thank you for your letter. Ja, I finally had to give in and start writing letters too. Actually I don't have time for this, but maybe it can take my mind off all the work once in a while. Feliciano also sent me a letter. I didn't know that he missed me. It was him after all who called me annoying and told me not to visit him again some years ago. Don't apologize, please. I am fine, apart from the loads of work. And what about you? Are you getting better? Viele Grüße, Ludwig Doistu-san, You do not need to thank you for the letter. I believe it would be best for the both of us, especially since we have not been corresponding for quite some time. Please excuse me for that. Please do not work too hard on this, especially if you find that you do not have the time. It is not healthy for you, especially during such times as these. However, if it makes you feel better, than I am glad. Still, please do not over exert yourself. Ah.. Please do not take the negative things Italia-kun says to heart. I am quite sure he does not really mean them, deep down inside. He does consider you someone very close to him and anyone may in a fit of anger, accidentally hurt this close to them. It does not mean that what they say is really true. Despite my words, I am pretty sure the both of you would have become friends again by now. I certainly hope so. I am getting better, Doistu-san, but please, pay more attention to yourself rather than me. You do have a tendency to overwork yourself, as I recall. I hope this letter does not take too much of your time. I apologise in advance if it does. Japan Honda Kiku (yes! Japan is back! By a new person true, but he's back! Hope this works out just as well. )

Liebe Sizilien, I understand. You are welcome. It surely must be when some nations learn of your engagement before your relationship. I wish you all the best for your shared future. Oh mein Gott! Please no. Last year I already had my hands full with the mess Gilbert caused alone. I don't even want to think about what the three of them could come up with, especially now that France and Spain are a little out of sorts with me anyway. Viele Grüße, Deutschland Ciao Germany~ Grazie. I'm glad you aporve. Most of the other nations are...*sigh* They don'r understand, which is fine, but it's hard trying to get them to see that I'm sure about this. I'm just glad Vene (and I think Romano) approve. Mio Dio.....*sigh* It would be horrible. I hope he didn't do anything too wild...Why are they out of sorts with you? amore, Angel

Lieber Schweiz,
it was exaggerated. In that case I will have to assume that your care is exaggerated as well. You said that you don't want to kill anybody, so how wouuld a water pistol kill the purpose?
There are many more nations you obviously don't hate. Letting them know this piece of information wouldn't kill you.
Viele Grüße, Deutschland

Lieber Japan, that we were not exchanging correspondence on a regular basis was not only your fault. So I have to apologize as well. I am answering the letters during the breaks I allow myself to take between the reports I have to write. What do you mean by saying it is not healthy? Italy said something similar. Why does everybody think that I am overworking myself? I can guarantee you that I have everything under control. Italy did mean those things back then, but I can't blame him for it since I really treated his people badly. I am glad though to be able to say that we made up again in the meantime. I am happy to hear that you are getting better. All the natural disasters lately were terrible. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you. You really don't have to feel bad about asking for assistance given this situation. Again... There is no need to worry about me. Please don't apologize all the time, Japan. I am happy to receive your letters. Viele Grüße, Germany ((Hurray for Japan. Welcome! ))

Liebe Sizilien,
there is no need to thank me. I have friendly relations with you as well as with America, so I don't see a reason not to aprove. Not to mention that I don't have any right to meddle in your affairs. The celebration went fine and Gilbert behaved (more or less). Your brother Feliciano came over to visit as well. My relations with France and Spain are not the best right now because of the Euro crisis. Actually I am on good terms with France normally, but we have some dissents when it comes to our work... or rather when he is supposed to work seriously. Spain is one of the nations with financial troubles and thus one of the nations who I have to make pass reforms and make cuts.
Viele Grüße, Deutschland

Mio amico Luddi,
V-Veeee?? Struck by lightning?? A-Are you alright, Luddi? You aren't h-hurt, are you? Mio Dio, I hope not... I just have never needed one, my papers always stayed where they were supposed to before my notes started to run off! What does having a filing system have to do with working properly? Ve, what was Luddi's fault? Luddi, you're starting to worry me, what's wrong? I can tidy up my study just fine Luddi, you don't have to worry about helping me with that!
The polizia and the government have been working really hard to get rid of the Famiglia, most of our work is in Lovi's part of Italia now, so that's not the problem... I've been looking at our numbers again, and with my knowledge of the Famiglia's finances, if we hadn't had the Famiglia the economy would have fallen at the very beginning... Ve, I know that they have to be taken down someday, to help Lovi's economy get better, but the underworld, the Famiglia is what kept us afloat, even with the aid we've been getting, even though we can't tax what they earn. I don't understand how this works anymore, we can't bring more jobs to the South until the Famiglia is gone, but we can't influence our members to find legal jobs if there aren't any jobs... It's another cycle we can't seem to break.
Ve, you should tell him as soon as you can, otherwise he won't stop until he beats even Mr. Russia~ Really?? Oh, I didn't know that! No wonder Mr. Roderich is always able to leave our meetings and parties relatively sober, even though Prussia forces him to have a few drinks every time. I understand that, but everyone is allowed to be themselves too. I'll make sure that they get up and do their work, I promise you, Luddi!
Ve, I'm not sure. I just remember that after Nonno died, Lovi found me and we lived together for a few years, but then fratellone Antonio and Mr. Roderich showed up and said we were living with them, separately. I was moved in with Mr. Roderich and they dressed me into some really cute little girl's clothes and that's what they had me wear until my voice startd to change. Ms. Elizaveta always called me her cute little sister, and Holy Roman Empire...I-It's funny, Mr. Roderich said that he thought I was a girl too...
I hope so too, Luddi, I hope so too... Ve, I made enough for you to eat for a few days, or to share with Gilbert, so you wouldn't have to worry about getting distracted from work to cook...Was it good? I know that Luddi likes potatoes, but I'm not sure if I made them in a way you'd like them.
Ve, I do remember hearing a lot, but Mr. Roderich made sure to always keep me inside if one of your siblings stopped by. He said I didn't need to worry about the happenings of real nations. Even Ms. Elizaveta would say that I didn't need to think about such silly things. What happened before...V-Ve, it would be better for you to ask Mr. Roderich or Gilbert, or maybe fratellone Francis if you want details. I-I wasn't there, and no one botherd to tell me until Lovi sent me a letter, wondering why I was still living with Mr. Roderich. Ve, that was right before the first war of Italian Independance.
...that still sounds really complicated, ve! I wonder why Mr. Bavaria wouldn't accept your thanks, he seemed happy enough when I sent him a thank-you letter... No, I rarely saw him. He was part of both Empires, si, but Mr. Roderich never let me talk much with him. I wasn't allowed to because Mr. Roderich didn't want me to waste time thinking about something as silly as independance, like Mr. Bavaria was. But that's true too, he was allowed to stay in his country, but Mr. Roderich was often over to visit him.
Ve, is it because Lovi and I are both Italia, rather than different states of one country?
Tuo amico, Feliciano

A water pistol would defeat the purpose because if things get out of control, I can just shoot to wound them. Do you not remember the time I shot America in the shoulder for getting too close to Liechtenstein? Again, I am not going to kill anyone if I dont have to, but I'll never know until I have to. The ones I do not hate know who they are, I don't need to tell them. Sincerely, Switzerland ((I know, sorry- now I dont have any new letters DX lol))

Lieber Feliciano,
nein, I am not hurt. That was only a figure of speech. Seriously, it is beyond me that you have been able to work without an orderly filing until now. Have you ever been able to find papers you have been looking for? Let’s say I would ask you to look up the agenda of May 1998’s world meeting. Could you find it?
I understand your inner conflict and I am aware that this is a critical decision. Sooner or later you won’t have a choice anymore though if things continue to get worse. That is why I recommend you to ask some experts to maybe work out a catalogue of measures for the entire development.
Ja, I will have a word with Gilbert. Other than Gilbert Roderich knows his metes and bounds too. They are allowed to be themselves to their hearts’ content in their free time, that ought to do.
That sounds quite strange. Did it never occur to their mind that you were a boy even though you lived together for a long time? That is hard to believe. Oh right, you must have known Holy Roman Empire too.
Thank you. That was very considerate from you. It is quite helpful to work through without having to prepare meals in fact. I didn’t have the occasion to try it yet and I have to attend a meeting in a quarter of an hour, but I will eat afterwards.
It was probably for the best to keep you away from the squabblers as much as possible, seeing that you were only a child then. I see, you can’t tell me either… Whenever I tried to ask Gilbert, Roderich or one of my other siblings about it, they changed the subject as soon as possible. Gilbert once even said that it was maybe the best for me not to remember anything. Why would France know? And your brother’s letter, does that mean that whatever happened in my family has also to do with you leaving Austria?
That is just how Bavaria is. Usually he is rather morose, but sometimes he can also be surprisingly nice. As far as I remember Bavaria and Austria have always been close, apart from some wars I only know about from history books. Gilbert had to make him leave Austria’s side by force in 1866 and when Austria got divorced from Hungary after WW I the two of them secretly planned to unify their countries.
No, that is not what I meant. It is the fact that my brothers always used to be at enmity before Gilbert united all of them in the German Empire in 1871. Furthermore we have a different feeling of distance, as you know. It is rather uncommon to randomly hug and kiss people here.
Viele Grüße, Ludwig
((By the way… Does Germany know that Feliciano and Lovino are a couple?))
