...Oh, it's been recording? [The golem shakes a little as Alfred shrugs.] Mementos of my friends back home. I used to be best friends with Russia, and he liked sunflowers.

'Cause they actually like me as a person. They don't see me as just a Nation. Most of the other Nations are like "America is an idiot," or "America just makes things worse," and even my own people say that "America sucks and I wish I was in a different country."

America seems like a real nice place to me though. And at least you're liked as a person.

Still, it's nice to hear. I'm glad to know that there are people who like America, both myself and the Nation.
