What a lovely oneshot. I laughed a lot at this. Englands dear children sure are awesome, even though I barely understood their talking.^^
Thanks for writing this.

Thanks for you kind comment. I tried to write the counties' dialogue so that non-Brits might be able to understand the various accents, but given how broad regional accents are it was quite hard.

Oh I'm sure you did a great job in writing down their dialects. But since I'm not even a native speaker there was only a low chance for me to understand them from the very begining.^^

Your English is a Hell of a lot better than my German. The quickest way to confuse me when talking in German is to talk in an accent that isn't a Dusseldorf accent. I went to Austria once... it took me days to get an ear for that accent and stop sounding like a moron when I repeated everything in a mangled combination of English and Dusseldorf accents before answering. They probably thought I was really weird.

This was WONDERFUL, I don't think I've read anything about England's states, and I'm glad someone wrote about it. X3

Thanks, it seemed such an obvious idea given the proliferation of stories with Alfred's states, but I couldn't find a single fic written by anyone else about it. (Having said this a dozen people will pop up with comments pointing me to stuff that's already been written, I'm sure!)
