Death’s pale fingers were knocking at her door, she knew. She could hear them, tapping against the hard wood. And she did not hate it, no. Her dear Albert was waiting, where Death would take her. She missed him so, oh so much

I absolutely love this!!! Little Malta made me go awww, and fem!Ireland sounds hot! *weak for redheads* I will be eternally amused by the fact that Scotland ends up being in character in fics much more than canon characters; that is, people, no matter the author, tend to write him very similar all the time, lol. Even in looks. I like him! ^^
I didn't even know Honduras had been British! It was after Spanish rule, then?
Oh, and let me say that Australia's protest NZ getting more freedom, and specially the black nations part, was my favourite ^^ (I wonder what they think of America, ex-colony who used to be one of them, actually having slavery in his home now, of his own free willXD)

I think the black nations would be more concerned with their own status within the empire, namely how their black majority populations were under the heels of the ruling white minority and treated as fourth class (non)citizens (at best). Not exactly a situation of unicorns and rainbows, huh?

/I wonder what they think of America, ex-colony who used to be one of them, actually having slavery in his home now, of his own free will?/ Well, by 1900 slavery had technically been banned in America for a few decades, so even if they cared what he was doing that wouldn't probably be relevant. If anyone did think about about America, my guess would be that it would be a brief moment of envy for someone not obliged to to play showpiece for a dying old woman most of them probably don't particularly like.
