I feel like Ame and Lien's married life would be just like this scene ---> youtu.be/1WybekasErM
The Robert Downey Jr Sherlock reminds me of Ame and how self centered and pouty he can be XD
And Irene reminds me of Lien, how devious yet alluring she can be

That's true, but the Robert Downey Sherlock is pouty and eccentric when he doesn't get what he wants, like Alfred hahaha
But yeah, I might have to write a fanfic now

Yes, pouty Alfred is best Alfred XD
Ah, yes Sherlock is a Brit but the actor, Robert Downey, is American and the mannerisms he uses just sort of remind me of Alfred's antics. It's as if you combined Britain and America haha
great movie btw!
And I shall start writing it soon

Yes yes!
Maybe she is thinking "Where is he taking me this time?" I think that's possible.

Pft, Vietnam looks pretty apathetic to the whole situation.
Vietnam:... Alfred, what are you doing?
Alfred: Kidnapping you, of course!! *winks*
Vietnam: ... *sigh* Of course you are.
For some reason, I can imagine China chasing them in the background saying: Give me back my little sister, aru!

That would be hilarious XD But China never caught up with them because his age is getting to him and Alfred is too youthful at the moment XD

Sometimes it feels like China is the old father of Vietnam who over worries about everything 😄
The same thing happens to other Asian members too

But as i see, according to main story, the one who seems to have the oldest physical condition is Japan, despite of the true that the doyen among the countries is indeed France. As i know, France's nation age is about 40.000, so so much older than China ( China's is only about 5000 ). So if China is an old man, i wonder what France will be

What did you base France's age from? 0_o? Are you referring to the first appearance of modern humans that lived in the region of France? If that was the case, China would be a lot older (actually--culturally and in civilization wise, China is supposed to be 7000 years old) as well as Vietnam-- which if that was the case, Vietnam would be 20,000 years old.
It's hard to really determine the age of a country, but France as it's own independent state did not happen until early 9th century when the Frankish empire, that basically overtook the land of all of France, northern Italy and some of modern Germany, broke apart between three grandsons of Charles the Great. One took the land where Germany is now which soon to be formed as the 'Holy Roman Empire' (that was probably when Holy Roman Empire was born XD), another took the land in the middle where northern Italy mostly resides (and then there is the introduction of Chibi Italy) and another grandson took the land of what is formed to be modern France and called it 'Francia' (France original name, so I would like to think). This should probably explain why Italy calls France 'big brother' XD.
After the fall of the Roman Empire (Grandpa Rome >.>), I would say that France should be about 800 years old.
If I wanted to follow my headcanon and say that France was originally the Frankish empire before becoming Francia, then he would be over 1000 years old >.>
Anyway, that's my opinion on his age. XD Like I said, it's really hard to determine the age of a country, but I base it mostly on the formation of some type of overall civilization or the beginning formation of a separate culture from their previous state (kinda like how Holy Roman Empire became Germany).
The first written records of the history of France appeared during the Iron Age though-- which is about 700 to 500 BC so if we based his age on that, he should be around... 2000?
If you recall all the Chibi Italy episode, France is older than Italy so I would like to assume he was the personification of the Frankish empire before becoming France but that's just me. XD
Nonetheless, despite the age, France is still an old perverted man. XD

40000 years old. Gosh, I don't know where you read that but England would have so many old jokes towards France right now if that was the case. XD I don't think any country as of now is that old-- there would be very few civilizations (or any at all) that would be in existence during those times. Maybe there would be tribes and small distinctive groups, but for France as a country to be 40,000 years old would have a large worth of culture and historic background. Sadly, that's not the case-- maybe you're referring to a certain group of people that lives in the region of France? Or could be referring to the Lascaux caves in southern France which depict of times of prehistoric France.
Either way, I think 'big brother of the world' may be an accurate thing to call him even though he would be very annoying as a big brother. XD Do you know French is the third most spoken language in the world? That's because when France was powerful and very young, he had a lot of colonies (little brothers or sisters-- as most would prefer) not only in Indochina (as you know, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, etc.) but in Africa too. Most of his colonies are in Africa and when the new world came, he got a big chunk of north America, the Caribbeans and some of the Pacific islands that are precious in the sense that they can make a lot of sugar cane plantations.
Though France's personality is much less to be desire, he does have a lot of influence around the world. Even the English language adopted some french words (which I'm pretty sure killed iggy for knowing so).
Though all of his colonies (well, most I would think) have already gained independence away from France, most of those Africa country's main language is still French and many of them adopted a lot of French traditions. He's a pretty good big brother despite what most people would think.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'don't be panic' (do you mean don't be mad?), but I'm not panicking XD You told me that you're a bit bad on history and that's okay XD I do want you to learn more about the history of the world though so that's why I'm babbling on about all these things that you probably don't really care about, but it gives you a perspective into things about France's history and personality. ^^ I like talking about history and I don't mind if you have a few things wrong. They can be easily corrected and you're really on a good track really.

Wow! Thanks for correcting me. But you do surprise me. All these things, how could you know it so well? You seem to have such a good knowledge about many areas, just like a textbook. Really amazing! I admire you. @.@
About the "panic" part. Maybe I used a wrong word, sorry. I also don't remember what I tried to describe then XD hehe

I just have good memory and read a lot. XD A friend of mines, Honey, knows a lot more in certain areas than me, but general world history, American (Native or during Colonization), and Vietnamese history I got a good amount of knowledge on. I'm well informed about French history also, but not as much as a native would.
Basically, I just love history and I tend to be a nerd about it. XD It's probably due to my love of historical fiction also.
Anyway, just keep reading what you can! You'll be surprise by how much interesting things you could find!
It's fine. xD You have really good english anyway and I'll be looking forward to your further development in your artwork and the likes!!

Thanks for giving me such a good advice. Sometimes i read things about history and whatnot as well, but i indeed have a bad memory, so i mostly forget it all right after reading, especially numerical datas. And sometimes my memories atomatically mixes things together, then i occasionally have few particular historical events mixed into one, few cities suddently get being in other countries, etc Just like, i once thought that Manila was in Malaysia and Ohio was in Japan ( because of its sound, you know )
Maybe the things which claim memory do not suit me But i'll try my best to not make mistake, especially in the doujins which will be made public. So if you don't mind, please give me advices and clues sometimes. I would love to receive such the precious knowledge from you XD

I'll be glad to give you as much advice as you need. On your comic, you're doing a good job so I don't think I need to worry about you much.
And it's common for people to mix dates and whatnot. I don't usually trust myself with cities (Ohio's a state by the way) so I always have to look them up just to double check. At least you know where Manila is-- I don't xD Or, at least I don't remember. I didn't know there is a city called Manila. XD

Ah i meant Myanmar, not Manila. Gosh, I've just searched google and figured out that Myanmar is a COUNTRY, not a city of Malaysia or a state of America like I thought before
And Manila is in Philippinines ( it seems to be the capital of Philippines, not Malaysia, and not America, again!!!)
Gosh, the world is awesome
Poor my geographic knowledge. At least, we're just the same about this

Yeah. XDDDD
I need to make anote that Manila is the capital of Philippines though. XDD
Where is Myanmar anyway? I know it's in Asia... or was it in the middle east?
The world is awesome. xD Don't worry, I'm still brushing up on my world knowledge. Making learning where all the countries are would be a good start. XD

Myanmar lays somewhere in Asia, i think, but surely in earth. I saw it in the world map already
Infact, there were so many countries i didn't even hear names till i started watching Hetalia, such as Liechsteintin (do i get it right?) , Baltic Trio, Belarus (I once though it was a part of Russia), Wy... and even Sealand and the other micronations
But I also heard that there are many people who don't know Vietnam as a country as well Few days ago i read a strip about Poland in Hetalia, it said that in a poll for "which country does they hate most" (or something like that) which was voted by Polanders, Russia is in the 1st rank, the following places belong to Vietnam, China and some other countries. I suddently felt sad abit then, i have no idea why they hate my country

Same here. XD I didn't know Liechinstein (I spelt it wrong too, don't worry. XD I'm not sure how to spell it either though I try often XD), Sealand and even the other micronations existed also. Hetalia is a good anime to learn all those unknown underappreciated countries. XD Especially Sealand. XD
Where did you find that poll? 0_o I kinda want to see it out of curiosity.
Anyway, if it wasn't the fact that this is about Poland, I wouldn't know why they hate us either. It's either because of the Vietnamese in their community or we do have some history in concern towards that country but it's most likely the former. Apparently, there is a large Vietnamese community that lives in Poland (around 50,000, to be exact) and we're their largest group of immigrants. Most country doesn't usually like immigrants (in the US, we're trying to strengthen our borders from our south neighbors because people are getting complaints about loosing their jobs to non-American people *roll eyes*. Sheesh, didn't they know our country is founded on immigration? -_-) because it means the natives lose jobs and money to them at times. They might be just a bit sore about it. XD
