"No, thank you," England responded. "Your idea of elevenses is Tim Horton's to go."
"Shame," Canada said as he got up. As Canada walked away, he came across a mirror and stared. England saw that he continued to stare. After about fifteen seconds, Canada began walking again, much more rapidly. England could hear him mutter, "No, no, this won't do. This will not do at all!"
"Well, it's break time then!" America said, and as if they'd heard the shot from a starter's pistol, they began leaving via the nearest door. Lithuania and Latvia were two of the first, walking out with each other. Behind them, a faint voice, non-descript, almost not identifiable as a voice, could barely be heard saying, "Hey, guys, wait for me. Guys?"
England, though, stayed seated. What's going on?, he thought. America wants food that sounds vaguely Eastern European, Canada wants to do elevenses, Austria's muttering like someone filled his mouth with marbles, and Sweden sounds like he's from Texas...hold on a mo, Texas? It then became very obvious what was going on. All England could do was put his head on the table and emit low moans.
Notes: The South Africa trio just seems natural. In Anon's mind, Nelson Mandela asked them to work together, and out of respect for the great man, they did. Then it started to actually work, and...well, they're comfortable with it now.
England fought against Zulu in the Zulu Wars and against Orange in the Boer War.
If some of England's colonies ended up with Iggybrows, doesn't it seem appropriate that Namibia got Germany's sideburns?
As for the glasses: Sweden got America's glasses America got Estonia's glasses Canada got Austria's glasses Austria got Sweden's glasses Estonia got Canada's glasses, so he's going to be pretty invisible for most of the story
There were seven characters whose glasses got switched. The other two got each other's glasses, and will be mentioned in the next chapter.

Remember, not!OP, seven nations got their glasses switched, and we've only seen five. Thailand is indeed one of the other two. And wait till you see what's happened to him.
