Guten Tag! I'm a newcomer here, and I thought that it would be best to introduce myself.

I am Germany, although you can also call me Ludwig. I have an older brother, Prussia, whom I believe some of you have already met. I'm sorry. I apologize on his behalf.And ah. The G20 meeting went better than expected. My boss wasn't given another surprise

Germany! Germany!

I like America's new boss! He's "young, handsome, and tanned"!!!

[dude_meister]

Italy! That's not PR!

[p_p_p_pasta]

But... but he is!!!

[dude_meister]

Whether he is or not, you can't just say that!

[wherestheluv]

Wait.

I'm starting to see a pattern, here...

[dude_meister]

Ah? What kind of pattern?

[wherestheluv]

Well, there's a man called France, and a man called England, and your name is Germany...

You're all named after countries. Are you related?

[dude_meister]

Ah, no. Not exactly. Well, America and Canada are brothers, as are Southern and Northern Italy.

What's a G20 meeting?

[dude_meister]

The Group of 20. Nineteen nations, plus the European Union, meet to discuss issues related to the economy.

[automailmaker]

Oh! We have nothing like that here.

[dude_meister]

Perhaps you have no need of such?

[swissarmyknives]

Guten Tag, Germany.

[dude_meister]

Switzerland! How have you been?

[swissarmyknives]

Fine. You?

[dude_meister]

Well enough. I've been busy, between the meetings and the protesters.

Hello Mister Germany!

[dude_meister]

Colette, how are you? And 'Germany' is just fine.

[itripped]

I'm well, thank you. Ah, alright!

If I may ask, what's the "G20"?

[dude_meister]

Good to hear.

Ah, the G20 is short of Group of 20. It's an international body composed of nineteen nations, as well as the European Union, that meets to discuss matters related to the economy.
