MAD indeed…
You, dear, are a genius.

UGH, Please don't be too hard on yourself when it comes to these things. Ya can do better than me any day and I really love your Russian fanfics, they help me get through the mornings. IN any case I'm really sad than ALL OF THEM F**KING DIED! But I guess that would probably happen in Hetalia if they all become one with Russia. Once again I really love your fics and please try to keep writing them!

Once again, I must say that I LOVE this. Thinking!America is the best kind of America. I don't like Russia and America as a pairing but damn, listening to Alfred go on about the Cold War is hot.

O.O I. Am. Speechless. This was SERIOUSLY one of the greatest mind-games story I've ever read! I mean, my goodness! I was nearly crying and cheering America on out loud (even though I love Russia) and I loved that you kept Russia so crazy. It just messed with my head a bit, but I loved it! This was WONDERFUL! Awesome story! :D

haha that note made me laugh ! Someone needs to request that on the kink meme XDD

This was an insanly different but so true way to think about it. After a while people would no longer be the soviet union, all the cultures are different, all the people are different, it would no longer be just the USSR...and then it would all turn into just one place, one nation, under one flag...and because of so many differences the USSR would seize to exist and would gain a new identity/name. A new people, and become a whole knew place.

There probably wouldn't be a personification (or if there is in the end that one would go insane...alone and everchanging for the world never stands still and ouch those revolutions!) and at least now America will get his wish: to be able to mock Russia for all eternity. ;A; poor America I hope his country eventually comes back.

Awww… Nice. Love it. As soon as America said, "And the last time I checked, the World didn't have its own personification," I thought, "Oh hot DAMN, this is going to be good." Actually, this could totally be expanded on if you wanted to, made into a full-on chapter story since the idea of there's no personification for the world is so freaking trippy—but then again, I kind of like it as it is.

Russia's thoughts as he died were deeelicious. Best paragraph in the entire oneshot. Other than America introducing the idea that the World doesn't get a personification. America pointing out that the world isn't personified is a "HOLY SH*BLEEEEEP*—oh baby, this is going to be AWESOME" moment and Russia's thoughts were an epic moment of evil laughter moment.

I particularly enjoyed the idea that Ivan's reward for working his ass off for Mother Russia and helping Russia expand was only his nonexistence, even though it was only briefly lamented on in his thoughts.

America's death, on the other hand, wasn't as awesome as it could have been… I just couldn't feel the epicness of his death. It was lacking something. Probably super-cool last words. His last words were great, but not great enough (for me, at least).

There was a few typos… At one point you said "United States pf America," which totally killed the atmosphere America's death set up. And I do have to protest how long and flowery the sentences were; there's a different between descriptive and excessive. I recall reading something somewhere in which you described Russia's eyes to be "dark" and "glowing" at the same time, which is strange and WTFish. I would let it slide if it were "dark" and "glinting" instead, since a glint is only a tiny sliver of light, but glowing… Glowing is like those-two-red-dots-in-the-night-that-turn-out-to-be-a-man-eating-monster kind of eyes. Full-on flashlight kind.

But then again, I'm just getting really technical about it…so you can just ignore whatever I just said. _

Don't worry, I have the same problem with ending stories. I still have no flippin' clue how I'm going to end my own story. I mean, I know the CONTENT of the last chapter (the biggest WTF moment of the entire story, including the plot twists), but the last line always escapes me. And the last line will always be the most important line of the story…

The Great Google knows all the answers—even the incorrect ones. :P

Whoa, this interpretation of the personifications never even occurred to me. I LOVE the concept! It makes perfect sense, and I think it adds a whole other dimension to the nations - they might be enemies, but they still need eachother to exist! Fascinating, well written, favorited! :D

You, m'dear, are one of the most kick ass author's ever. And I just don't mean like how you write (even though the fic was facking awesome) but just you in general. Total props for the a/ns.

Anyway, the world needs more mindrapist!America. Thank you for contributing.

Guh.

Amazing! This was sooo sad. But incredibly awesome at the same time! Excellent writing and portrayal of emotion.

You raise a good point about there being no representation for the world. I love logic!America! It's sad how much in-denial Russia was about the whole affair. You think he would have thought about that before eliminating every country in the world.

I'm sorry I can't go into more detail, as I have to leave soon, but just know that this. Was. Awesome.

Good job!
