United States of America

United States is six foot three in height and a physical age of thirty-three. He has black hair and eyes, and his hair falls just past his shoulders and is normally held up in a braid or a low ponytail. His face and neck are covered in freckles, which in country form are shaped like the stars on his flag and red, white, and blue. 

While in country form, his skin is that of his flag, and the stripes from the American flag carry down his body. However, his legs are the stripes of the Serapis flag, not of the American flag. Additionally, his right hand has the circle of stars from Betsy Ross' flag, while his left hand has one large star. Since there is no specific pattern that the stars in his canton have to be in, United States can move them around at will, making whatever designs he pleases (provided he can focus enough to keep them up). The base position his stars are in is, in fact, not the standard on the flag, but bouncing around randomly with no direction (i.e., windows screensaver) unless United States forces them into a pattern. 

In human form, he looks mixed, about 57 White-43 POC, based on the 2020 census (this is also a very loose definition, but I am trying to give you a good baseline for "mixed"). The largest Ethnic Groups are African American, German, Irish, English, and Mexican, so those would have the most influence on him, but he is very racially ambiguous, and he is not always white-passing. 

He is a well-built man but not skinny. He is broad-shouldered and not light. He is a very sturdy guy, and if he wants to, he can be very imposing and intimidating.

He wears circular glasses because he is far-sighted.

Scars

United States has two scars from arrows, one on his neck and the other on his upper right chest from King William's War and the 1622 Massacre at Jamestown. Both of these are death scars, meaning that they glow in dark light levels.

United States has smallpox scars from Valley Forge. They are death scars and glow in dark light levels.

United States has burn scars on his right arm and neck, as well as on his back, leftover from the Burning of Washington. He gained them while trying to pull the trapped District of Columbia from the burning White House. They are now faded due to age.

United States has a faint bayonet stab wound scar on his torso, leftover from when Canada stabbed him during the Burning of Washington.

United States has a bullet scar on his upper right leg from the Spanish-American War when he died from an infected wound. It is a Death Scar and glows.

He has a bullet scar on his left leg, where he was shot during the Battle of Okinawa.

Tattoos

United States has two tattoos, one of the Betsy Ross Flag star on his upper left back he got on the bicentennial of his independence, and the other a peace sign over his left man boob (literally don't know how to describe it) that Caleb got while high in the seventies.

Historical Description

United States' human form has changed a lot over time due to the changing demographics of his people. The following is a rough timeline of how his physical features have changed over the years.

Roanoke Colony (1585-1590):

United States has dark brown hair and eyes. He looks white for the most part but does have some Native features in his face and hair.

English Peoples of North America (1606-1775):

He has light brown hair and brown eyes. He is very white, pale, and English in appearance, and this is the stage of his life when he looks the most like England and Britain.

United States (1775-1800):

United States' hair has darkened again, becoming more dark brown. His eyes stay the brown they were as a colony, but his skin becomes less white and more mixed. He has begun taking on more Native and African traits, but not so much that they are very noticeable at first glance. He is now mixed but still white-passing.

United States (1800-1900):

United States' human form stays the same throughout the 19th century, although he starts gaining more Asian mixed traits in the 1860s. However, his whiteness wins out, and while mixed, he is still seen as white-passing.

United States (1900-Present Day):

United States' hair and eyes slowly darkened from brown to black, and he became more and more noticeably mixed throughout the late 20th century and into the modern day; while still mixed, he is no longer white-passing, a line he crossed in the 80s to 90s.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

United States is part of a system. He is the "original" alter as he was born in 1585 but did not become part of a system until 1607. However, he does not call himself the original and instead refers to himself as the host of the system. That is because United States is the alter that fronts the most, due to his role as the countryhuman of the United States of America. He handles much of the political sides of things and tries his best not to let the other alters get involved, both out of fear that they would not understand why he does what he does (as some alters are human) or because he does not want them to get involved in the complicated minefield that is countryhuman relations. 

United States' DID originates in Roanoke and Jamestown. United States, as you'll see in the history segment below, was originally the Roanoke Colony but later became all English Peoples in America. That is what he would stay until the Thirteen Colonies united in 1775. Due to his role as this personification, when Jamestown was founded, Virginia needed a personification and would end up being an alter until her statehood. In 1609, the system would expand with the addition of James, the first human alter, who protected United States from the worst of Britain's abuse. More alters would come and go, some colonies or territories that would later become states, and others humans like James. Their personalities and how they came about will be explored more in their pages.

United States was in denial about his DID until 1775 when he was forced to confront it. Despite beginning to recognize that it was real, it took him until after his war of independence to fully accept the other alters were real. United States still hid the fact that he was part of a system until 2007, fearing that he would be seen as insane—or that they were right and he was insane. After it became public knowledge, United States was very open about his DID and his struggles as a part of a system. He does not see his DID as a mental illness, but rather it is just "one of his quirks," and it is something that is always going to be an important part of his life.

Other System Members in the Modern Day that United States is aware of:

• Caleb

• James

• Yapam 

• Rebecca

• Molossia

• Talossa

• Conch Republic

• Zaqistan

C-PTSD

Like all personifications, United States suffers from Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder due to his life of war and trauma. He suffers from flashbacks, especially ones related to the Civil War and the Burning of Washington. Fire is a big trigger for him, especially fire that is not under control or fire he has no way of controlling. He also suffers from nightmares related to his C-PTSD and has a lot of anxiety as a result. His C-PTSD is also linked to his Cold War Era paranoia and his inability to fully trust others, as well as reckless behavior in which United States ignores his own health and safety to protect others he values from perceived threats. 

Insomnia

United States suffers from severe insomnia (a mix between primary and secondary insomnia) and often has trouble falling and staying asleep. The system tries to mitigate this by having others front when the body needs rest, but since United States is the host, this is often unsuccessful. However, as United States has been dealing with insomnia for a long time, he can function with less sleep, but more importantly, he is aware of his limits and when he needs to let someone else front before their body gives out on them.

Depression

Due to his regret over his past actions as an empire, United States has become increasingly depressed. Due to his depressive episodes, he suffers from low self-esteem and will sometimes fantasize about killing himself and how the world will be better with him gone. These episodes also affect his insomnia and actively worsen it, as well as making United States choose not to eat or sleep. Oftentimes, he will just lie in bed and drink or get high on weed. Sometimes, the other alters take over the body until his episode ends to keep up the image that the United States is doing fine, as well as trying to cut United States off from his self-destructive habits. 

Body Dysmorphia

United States, due to his ever-changing human face, suffers from body dysmorphia. He cannot visualize what he looks like and sees his reflection
as a stranger. He believes that everyone is judging his appearance and notices all the same flaws he does, which causes him anxiety when in public. It also has caused him to either check his appearance repeatly or ignore it as much as possible. Along with his depression, his BDD has caused him to have suicidal thoughts. However, he never takes action due to the fact that he refuses to die on his children.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Due to his body dysmorphia, as well as his status as a major world power, United States suffers from social anxiety, believing that he is constantly being criticized and judged for every action. He also believes that everyone is judging his body and making fun of it behind his back, which can lead to him becoming antsy in public. 

Substance Abuse Issues

United States has struggled with alcoholism since he was a colony, as it offered him a temporary escape from his issues. He drank a lot when he was in distress and would often be drunk during mental breakdowns and other crises. Ever since the 60s, he has been trying to ween himself off of his dependence on alcohol and has managed to be consistently sober of alcohol since 2009.

When alcohol stopped working for him, United States began smoking weed a lot more. He does not have an addiction and is able to manage his weed use much more, but he still struggles with using it too much and only to escape his problems.

Roanoke Colony (1585-1606)

United States was born as the Roanoke Colony on June 26, 1585, to Britain and the Roanoac Peoples. However, in an attempt to make him a truly white colony, United States was never told of his mother or his relationship with the Native Americans and instead saw himself as only Britain's child for much of his life. His early childhood was defined by illness, conflict, and strife. United States was neglected by Britain and England and was a pawn in the mental games both countries were playing with each other. He was expected to call both of them Father and punished when he slipped up. However, since he was often ill due to his instability as a colony, he was kept away from others and essentially abandoned in his land until he showed the makings of a healthy colony.

However, United States was much loved by his people and was spoiled by them, being seen as the future and the hope for their colony. He was also expected to become a dear friend to Virginia Dare, the first of his people to be born on his land United States felt more at home with his people than he did with the countries and despite his constant illness and the declining state of the colony, United States was happy. However, while John White went back to England for more supplies, the declining state of the colony forced United States and his people to flee to Croatoan Island and live with the natives there.

Living with Natives

United States lived with Croatan and her people until Jamestown was established. Croatan was either biologically United States' sister or aunt (not that America was aware of this at the time), and United States referred to her as his aunt as they lived there. The Croatan gave him the countryhuman name of Tosh-shonte (Englishman) and the human name of Yapam (Ocean, as his people came from across the sea). United States' health problems persisted, but he adapted quickly to his new home and assimilated so well that he almost died, losing the distinction that kept him a personification. While United States was still somewhat racist towards natives, he developed a deep affection towards the Croatans and did view the tribe as cousins. 

United States convinced that Britain and England had abandoned him to die, did not cling to the hope that they would come back for him and instead believed that he would be living with the Croatan for the rest of his life. However, his belief began to change in 1606, when the Virginia Charter was signed, and United States began to feel a calling that he would have more people arriving soon. It shook his plans for life and forcefully pulled him out of the life he had established for himself. Despite the fact that he did not want to leave Croatan or the people who lived with hers. Croatan eventually convinced him that he had a duty to the people who were coming and promised United States that she would look after his people.

United States then left for what would then become Jamestown, traveling alone and purely based on the calling to his people. He would eventually arrive a few weeks after Jamestown's founding, reassuring the men who were unsure of whether or not they were going to have a personification.

Jamestown and the Beginning Colonies (1607-1732)

While United States was believed to be the personification of Jamestown and was called such, he had actually been the personification of the English peoples on the American continent since the end of the Roanoke Colony. This was when United States' DID developed, as the true personification of Jamestown, Virginia, existed within United States' mind since the founding of Jamestown. United States was aware of Virginia and often talked to her, as the climate in Jamestown was very different than with the Croatan. Despite the fact that United States was born into an English family and lifestyle, his eighteenish years with the Croatan had changed him, and he was disliked by many for being "too native" as United States was not a Christian and still practiced the religion of the Croatan.

Religion

As the Roanoke Colony, United States was an Anglican. After he started living with Croatan, United States began to practice the traditional religion of the Croatan, believing that God had abandoned him and his people to die and that it was the beings of Croatan's religion that saved them. After becoming Jamestown, United States continued to believe in this religion despite the fact that Anglican was the official religion of the empire and the fact that United States was being pushed towards it, especially as he was expected to pray at the church in Jamestown. After the marital law in Jamestown in 1609, due to the strict religious practices and the fact that martial law was used to fully Anglicize him, United States was a devout Anglican and would be dedicated to the religion until his independence.

United States had started doubting his faith in religion under Britain, especially since it was used as a tool of abuse, but due to its status as an official religion, he could not stop his belief in it. It was not until his independence that he stopped practicing. United States still said he was a Christian, but he no longer prayed or went to church that often. It was not until the late 1980s that United States officially decided he was Non-Religious and gave up any pretenses of being religious.

Cultural Practices

United States' culture is very multicultural, and due to this he has a habit of adopting cultural practices from people he knows, either on purpose or on accident. He is very good and blending between different cultures and adapting to the cultural region he is in, especially the subcultures of the United States. 

He focuses a lot on free speech and other liberties in his constitution and is very altruistic, often donating to charities. He views himself as someone who has to live up to the ideals of his founding and bases a large part of his identity on them.

United States is a big fan of food and likes eating at smaller family-owned restaurants. He isn't a picky eater, so he often eats whatever he sees as good food. He especially likes eating meals with his children and won't eat alone, seeing meal time as family time. He is also a great cook in his own right and likes to experiment with mixing different foods from different places in his country. He is very proud of his immigrant and American foods and is very defensive when they are insulted.

United States is a big fan of sports, although he can never pick one team to support. He likes going to games and playing baseball and football with his states. He can also get incredibly heated in sports debates and can recall an impressive number of players' names. While he claims not to have a favorite sport, he does. It's baseball. 

United States is a big fan of all his country's music, even if he doesn't like the way some of it sounds. He plays many instruments and oftentimes tries to learn to play whatever songs are most popular at the moment. He also goes to many concerts and music festivals with his states.

United States has a very large family, due in part to his numerous children but also due to Britain's numerous children. United States' biological parents are Britain and the Roanoc Peoples, now deceased. United States was unaware of the fact that he had a mother until 2016, and his familial relationship with Britain has been tense since United States' independence. Additionally, Ireland has acted as a parental figure for United States since his independence, although United States refuses to admit it. 

The member states of the United Kingdom during his time as a colony, Wales, Scotland, and England, were all adopted uncles to United States, and although this relationship fell apart during America's War of Independence, United States has since repaired this relationship with Wales and Scotland.

United States' relationship with his half-siblings and siblings is tense due to United States' independence and Britain's attempts to villainize United States in the eyes of his colonies. However, due to the sheer number of them, United States was never going to be close to all of them, and his relationship with many is not strained, but more like friends or acquaintances than family. The same goes for many of United States' niblings who are children of these siblings, although a few of them he is close to, like Australia. 

United States also has many children. Most, aside from the ones who are international organizations and independent countries he is close to, especially his states. United States has adopted many children and is very close with his adopted children, many of whom view him as a better father than their biological parents.

Lastly, Hawaiʻi. Back when she was an independent country, United States and her used to see each other as siblings. While they no longer do so, United States is still an uncle to Hawaiʻi's daughter, Sikaiana, and they still do consider each other family, although neither of them is able to define how.

England

England and United States have a very complex relationship. When United States was a colony, he looked up to England, seeing him as a second father figure and wanting to be just like him. United States saw England as this pinnacle of humanity that he needed to strive to be, and he cared deeply for England. When the beginning events of the American Revolution began to occur, United States was concerned that he would destroy his relationship with his adoptive uncle. After the Boston Massacre, when England accidentally shot Massachusetts, the person who was fronting at the time, United States became enraged and disowned England, deciding that until England admitted he was wrong, they would not be family. 

As the Revolution truly began, their relationship developed into hatred and resentment, as United States began to acknowledge that England was not the flawless person United States once thought of him as, and as United States acknowledged how mentally and physically abusive England was. Their relationship would remain tense and hostile until World War One, when they were made to work together, and United States had to put some trust in England. However, during the interwar period, things deteriorated again, and their relationship was hostile once more. 

World War II was the defining turning point, and while their relationship is no longer hostile, United States refuses to acknowledge any relationship with England, and they remain acquaintances. This was once again strained in 2016 when United States truly began coming to terms with his abusive childhood, and United States preferred to ignore England or avoid him so as not to stir up conflicting opinions he has about their relationship and history.

Britain

Deceased Personifications

Upper Canada

United States hated Upper Canada. He disowned the colony and tried his best to forget about their familial connection. United States did not like that Upper Canada was so loyal to Britain, nor did he like that a child of his worshipped the man. United States viewed Upper Canada as the worst parts of United States as a colony. Michigan's affections towards Upper Canada also increased United States' hatred of him, as United States began to view Upper Canada as a manipulator who hurt his son. When Upper Canada died, United States did not mourn and moved on with his life. United States' lack of a relationship with this son never bothered him.

Kingdom of France

United States as a colony viewed the Kingdom of France as an enemy, and due to his father's teachings, viewed her as an enemy and a liar. United States fought against her and her native allies a lot and hated her personally the more the conflicts went on, viewing her as someone who wanted him dead, a mindset Britain encouraged. Once he gained independence, United States, although still distrustful, tried to gain her help in his War of Independence. Although United States tried to be polite to her, he felt that she did not commit enough to helping him, and secretly would seethe about that. However, the Kingdom of France did help United States become more tolerant of Catholics, and United States stopped hating her for her religion, eventually learning a lot about Catholicism from her.

Despite the more amicable relationship the two had, United States knew that Kingdom of France did not want him to be a strong country and that she was kind to him in order to use him as a pawn in her conflicts with Britain. United States still did not fully trust her, and during his Peace Treaty, he ignored her advice and attempted to manipulate him in order to make his own peace treaty with his father. 

After the Treaty of Paris (1783), United States and Kingdom of France had a more professional relationship, and while they were friendly, they were not friends.

Living Personifications

Alabama

Alabama and United States have a very positive father-son relationship today, although it was not always exceptional. United States viewed Alabama highly when the state was a territory, as he did with most of his kids, and the two had a good relationship as there was not a lot of political conflict between them. However, after the Mexican-American War, Alabama was upset about the Wilmot Proviso, and friction began to appear in their relationship. United States believed that Alabama was being unreasonable and that he needed to learn to compromise. Things only worsened with the Compromise of 1850, which prompted some Alabamans to call for secession, something United States felt Alabama needed to get under control. 

When Alabama eventually seceded and birthed the Confederacy, United States was furious, nearly disowning his son in anger. United States began to place a lot of the blame for the Civil War on Alabama and refused to speak with Alabama for many years after the fact, belittling him and blaming Alabama for everyone who died during the Civil War. After Alabama was placed under military government during Reconstruction, United States became less openly hostile to Alabama, instead choosing to be more gentle so he could "make Alabama understand the pain he caused and in turn get back his loyalty." 

To United States, this fixed things, as Alabama became more docile in their interactions, and the interactions became positive again. However, Alabama became distant and would often avoid United States, something United States attributed to guilt over his actions in the Civil War. During the Progressive Era, United States and America began to speak more often, with Alabama talking about his new reforms, as well as learning that he had a very severe case of hookworm. Their relationship, which had been strained to being enemies, then to coworkers, now began to return to being father and son, with both of them avoiding discussing the Civil War or Reconstruction. 

With the World Wars and Alabama fighting in them, United States no longer had doubts about his son's loyalty and began to treat him as he did before the Civil War in an effort to pretend it didn't happen. Alabama didn't protest this, and the two's relationship began to greatly improve. During the Civil Rights movement, United States backed off his son in an attempt to let Alabama make up his own mind, something that Alabama confessed was very helpful to him personally. However, Alabama did eventually throw his support with the Civil Rights Movement, something that United States (divided as he was) was very proud of him for. 

Alabama and United States improved on much of their relationship in the late 20th century, as Alabama wanted to fix things between them, and the two would often talk the best they could through their issues. United States apologized for many of the terrible things he had done and said to Alabama, and the two truly began to put things behind them, choosing instead to focus on the present, not on the past, and United States remains immensely proud of Alabama. 

Alaska

Alaska and United States have a very, very close relationship in the modern day due to the fact that much of their history has been very positive.

United States had met Alaska a few times as Russian America, but they rarely spoke due to the Russian Empire's controlling nature. United States had always thought that Alaska was a very shy person, but he never put too much thought into Alaska. When America purchased Alaska's land and gained custody of him, United States was very reluctant to be any parent to Alaska, as Alaska still viewed the Russian Empire as his father. United States instead viewed Alaska as more of a friend and did not try to form a familial bond with him.

This changed when United States began noticing the signs of abuse in Alaska, reminding United States of his own childhood. This concerned United States, especially with how Alaska seemed to revere the Russian Empire as a god, and United States began making excuses to spend time with Alaska. As United States further noticed the unhealthy and self-harming habits that Alaska had, he put aside his earlier promise not to be a parent to Alaska, as he was very concerned for Alaska as a father. This, along with United States pointing out the Russian Empire's flaws and abuse, would cause many rifts in their relationship, as Alaska did not believe him. 

After a few years of the tenseness, Alaska began to ask United States more about why he thought the Russian Empire was bad and ended up breaking down on United States more than once time about it. At this point, United States had mentally adopted the territory and was trying his best to comfort him. Alaska reminded United States a lot of himself when he was a colony, so he empathized heavily and viewed helping Alaska heal as a way of healing himself. United States tried his best to be to Alaska, the person that United States needed during his War of Independence.

United States would continue to view Alaska very positively. Although his government neglected Alaska to focus on Reconstruction, United States neglected Reconstruction and the Southern States to focus on Alaska, seeing him as more important and as someone who could distract him from the memories of the Civil War. United States did not really care for Alaska's land (until gold was found) but rather about Alaska himself. United States also put a lot of trust and faith in Alaska, and the two would grow close as father and son and as confidants. United States treated Alaska much more like an adult than he did many of the other states, and trusted Alaska to come to him when he needed something. 

United States and Alaska could go weeks without talking to each other and still remain as close as ever. United States never really viewed Alaska as a state and was always surprised when he asked about statehood. United States just never really comprehended that Alaska would, one day, be a state, but nonetheless was supportive of it because he loved Alaska, and Alaska's land was of great strategic importance, as well as resource-rich. 

United States would retain a sort of blindness to Alaska's land, always seeing Alaska as separate from it and, therefore, viewing Alaska much more as a person while their relationship was unaffected by political events in the state. To United States, Alaska is not a state or really even much of a countryperson. Alaska is just his son and one of his closest friends and confidants. United States never really cared that Alaska was bisexual, as Alaska came out after United States' period of struggling with internalized homophobia.

Arizona

Arizona and United States have a very good father-daughter relationship in the modern day, and their relationship has been largely positive. Arizona was born in 1863, right in the midst of the Civil War. United States semi-neglected her in her early life due to this, preoccupied with the Civil War and then dealing with the aftermath. However, once United States was able to start forming a relationship with her, United States fell in love with her sunny attitude almost immediately and was very guilty that the first memories Arizona had were of blood, war, and violence.

Due to the violence she experienced from birth, United States did his best to keep Arizona uninvolved with the wars and genocides against Native Americans in her land, feeling that Arizona deserved the chance at a peaceful childhood. Arizona was kinda viewed as United States' baby, and he was very overprotective of her, much of which was born out of his guilt. However, United States would not stop her from visiting her land, and he just tried to keep her from getting involved in anything he deemed "too much" for Arizona. 

Arizona's statehood was slightly rocky, as United States opposed some of the provisions she wanted to put in her constitution, and it was the first time the two ever argued about United States' overprotective nature. Once Arizona got statehood, she ran off to do her own thing, and while she still came and talked to United States, they started seeing each other less and less. However, with the Great Depression, Arizona started spending more time with United States, much to United States' relief. United States apologized for his overprotective nature, and the two began to be close again, with United States trying not to control everything Arizona did and Arizona learning to ask United States for help when she needed it.

For the rest of the 20th and 21st centuries, the two remained close, with no events causing major rifts in their relationship.

Arkansas

Arkansas and United States share a very close father-son bond in modern-day, although their history has been rocky. Arkansas' time as a territory was fairly uneventful in terms of their relationship, and United States was able to give Arkansas as good of a childhood as he could have, with Arkansas being both a territory and an alter at the time. United States was very worried when Arkansas became a state, as a poor economy left Arkansas unable to support state government functions. Therefore, the state was often very ill, and United States fretted over his condition. While Arkansas would recover, United States would still retain this sense of worry over Arkansas and often check in on the state's health. 

United States also worried a lot when Arkansas got involved in the Texas Revolution and the Mexican-American War, fearing that the state's health was too fragile to be involved in the conflict. However, United States never made any attempts to stop Arkansas, believing that the state could take care of himself and that it was unnecessary for him to prevent Arkansas from fighting. United States viewed Arkansas very positively and greatly appreciated the fact that Arkansas wanted to find a compromise for the debate over slavery and was more willing to listen to different opinions. United States viewed Arkansas as level-headed and reasonable on the issues regarding slavery and was stunned by his secession, especially since Arkansas had initially decided to stay in the Union.

United States felt deeply betrayed by Arkansas' secession and hurt that the state seemed to give off the impression of loyalty right until the day of his secession. He felt as if he had been deceived and began to harbor some resentment towards Arkansas. However, United States had also convinced himself that Arkansas had been tricked and manipulated by the Confederate States, and that was why he seceded with little warning. However, this idea was shattered by Arkansas' reluctance and hostility toward rejoining the Union. Once Arkansas was placed under military government during Reconstruction, this mindset came back, as United States used the government to convince Arkansas of the fact, allowing their father-son bond to return fairly quickly during Reconstruction, especially once Arkansas was dealing with martial law and military government.

For the rest of the 19th century, their relationship was very positive, and United States became very good at pretending like Arkansas had never been a Confederate State to begin with, preferring to believe that Arkansas himself had remained loyal. United States was also appreciative of the fact that Arkansas was open to federal aid for his many reforms in the 20th century and took it as a sign that he had Arkansas' full trust as a parent. United States was eager to help during the Elaine Massacre and comforted Arkansas over it, trying his best to help his son. When Arkansas was hit hard by the Great Depression and subsequent droughts, United States invited Arkansas to live with him; that way, the state himself was not as hard hit.

Their relationship took another downturn during the 1950s, with Arkansas' reluctance to desegregate schools and the events surrounding the Little Rock Nine. United States believed that Arkansas should have done more to protect the Little Rock Nine and ensure desegregated schools. United States remained firm in that position, and it hung like a dark cloud over their relationship until the early 1970s. However, in the eighties, they began overcoming that dark patch, and their relationship has remained positive since then, even when Arkansas came out, as United States was very supportive of him.

California

United States and California have a very good father-child relationship, and it has stayed strong and relatively positive since California was adopted in 1848.

United States viewed California as a miracle child for much of their early relationship, as California had struggled greatly in her health in her path to becoming an American Territory, and United States saw it as a miracle that she survived. He was also ecstatic when California adopted him as her father and did his best to acclimate her to her life as an American, something that included many trips to many doctors. United States fretted about California's health a lot and often worried whenever she became ill. United States also viewed California as a good American (and further reinforcing her "miracle child" status), as not only did she adopt him, but they also became a state very quickly and had gold that could boost his economy. 

California was mainly uninvolved in the Civil War, but they wrote to United States often during the war, something that United States appreciated. California also would later accompany her father during his government-mandated recovery trip, as she was one of the few states at the time that United States would listen to. United States appreciated her for that, and their relationship would stay very positive throughout the 20th century. 

However, United States and California often argued over California's more progressive ideas, with United States believing that California was radical and foolish. United States would often try to convince her to change her mind and would get upset if she refused. This was a prominent issue for many years. However, it was not enough to ruin their relationship, as United States would try and put aside the arguments so they could continue to have a positive relationship. They relationship took another dive when California came out as non-binary, but United States would eventually get over that as he learned to better accept queer people. He never hated California but just didn't understand. However, their realtionship is very positive and they do not have very many issues with anything involving queerness anymore.

Colorado

Colorado and United States have a very strong father-son relationship, strengthened by their shared love of hiking and the outdoors. 

Colorado was born during the onset of the Civil War, and United States had begun to get to know his new son and viewed him proudly. However, with the outbreak of the war, United States began ignoring and neglecting Colorado and tried his best to force Colorado away to protect him from the war. When the war ended, United States, traumatized as he was, tried to restore things to how they were before the war and start anew. United States and Colorado began to fight over his statehood, first with United States wanting it, Colorado refusing to get it, and later Colorado wanting to be a state, but United States refusing to make him one because of his reluctance to help out with Reconstruction. 

When Colorado became a state, the major arguments stopped, although United States was hurt and confused by the fact that Colorado seemed to be ignoring and avoiding him. United States tried to give the state space, but with worry over the constant conflicts between the state and miners, among other issues, United States became more forceful in reaching out to his son. While Colorado resisted and ignored the attempts initially, the two began talking more in the early 19th century, and by World War One, they had established a shaky father-son bond. They grew closer in the 1930s when Colorado introduced United States to skiing. 

For the rest of the 20th century, their relationship would only grow more positive as they learned more about each other and gained a better understanding of each other. They talked a lot, with United States explaining why he reached out so much and United States learning that the stress of the Civil War caused Colorado to want to take a break and live as a human after it. This understanding of the other allowed them to strengthen their connection and overcome past conflicts.

Connecticut

United States was not aware of Connecticut's existence until 1775, despite the fact that Connecticut was born in 1636. This is due to the fact that Connecticut originally existed as an alter in a time in which United States was in denial about the rest of the system. The beginning of their relationship was rocky, as United States was still struggling to accept that Connecticut was real and not a hallucination. Once America accepted that Connecticut was real, their relationship truly began. United States was very happy and proud to have a child, although he was apprehensive of Connecticut's very anti-British sentiments. However, their relationship started strong and would remain that way for many years. They had a few rocky spots as United States tried to figure out how to be a parent, especially with the Pennamite–Yankee Wars and United States learning how to moderate that, as he wanted to be a good parent to Connecticut.

United States began to have more negative feelings towards Connecticut during the War of 1812, as United States did not like that Connecticut did not like the War of 1812 and wanted it to end. For a few years after the war United States held some resentment toward Connecticut, viewing him as somewhat unloyal and not willing to commit to protecting his family. However, that animosity passed, and their relationship continued to be strong. United States valued Connecticut's intelligence and willingness to help United States in anything he needed. United States also appreciated that Connecticut was very good at understanding United States and knowing when he pushed something too far. 

United States loves Connecticut as a son but also appreciates him as a peer and a friend. United States sees Connecticut as a very mature and intelligent person and loves and appreciates him greatly. 

Delaware

United States was not aware of Delaware's existence until 1775, despite the fact that Delaware was born in 1664. This is due to the fact that Delaware originally existed as an alter in a time in which United States was in denial about the rest of the system. Delaware and United States did not interact much at first due to the fact that Delaware was not an active alter. However, United States loved Delaware, especially since the state was the first to get a body. Delaware proved to United States that he was not crazy, and so United States associates the state highly with that feeling of validation.

Delaware continued to hold a positive spot in United States' mind, especially with his tendency to proclaim how proud he was to have been the first to ratify the Constitution and was so happy to be a part of United States' country. United States was proud of Delaware and wanted to do best by the faith the state had in him.

During the Civil War, United States mistrusted Delaware, not liking his support for his southern siblings. Their relationship went through a rough patch, but after Delaware went under martial law and United States "fixed" things, their relationship smoothened out, and United States no longer had any resentment towards Delaware, even though there were still some tensions in Delaware over the new amendments. Delaware would become more distant, and their relationship would grow weaker. 

However, as the 1900s began, Delaware and United States began getting closer again, and their relationship was soon back to its pre-Civil War strength. After the Occupation of Wilmington, Delaware and United States went through another rough patch. He tried to help Delaware recover but was instead pushed away. However, things simmered down during the seventies, and their relationship strengthened a lot after that. United States was very supportive when Delaware came out, and their relationship is strong and positive to the modern day.

Florida

United States and Florida have had a very long and complicated relationship. When they were both colonies, they were distant, with their parents influencing them into having a rivarly. United States mistrusted and disliked Florida during this time, seeing him as a threat to his land and safety. Once Florida began British East Florida, United States' attitude, spurred on by Britain's influence, shifted dramatically. While there was some initial tension, they quickly grew close as friends. While United States saw Florida as a little bit weird, he liked Florida as a person, and they became friends. However, the newfound friendship did not last very long, as United States was hurt by Florida's refusal to support his War of Independence, and they grew to become rivals again. 

For the next thirty years, their relationship was distant and non-existent, up until 1819, when United States gained control of Florida's land. United States was a bit slow to trust Florida again, as they had not ended on good terms before, but United States grew to trust Florida again. Due to Florida being mentally younger than United States, United States quickly grew to have more parental feelings toward Florida. United States adopted Florida, and their relationship became very positive up until the Civil War.

When Florida joined the Confederacy, United States was betrayed and angered. United States hated Florida for betraying his trust again and disowned Florida, refusing to recognize their adopted relationship. United States was so upset he refused to even refer to Florida by his name, and the resentment would linger for decades. United States avoided Florida and saw the political problems that came as a result of the Civil War as Florida's problem. They began to talk more after the Spanish-American War, and they began working to fix things, as United States had decided that Florida had been punished enough and that they needed to move forward.

United States and Florida did not regain their father-son relationship until the interwar period when United States decided Florida's service in the Spanish-American War and World War One as proof that Florida's loyalty was to United States. United States and Florida grew closer throughout the 1900s, especially over the space program and Florida's growing interest in space. They bonded over watching rocket launches and had a very strong father-son bond that lasts to the modern day.

While they see each other as father and son, they also consider each other friends due to their close age and history together. While United States still sometimes has issues with trusting Florida, he is working to overcome that as he wants to be closer to Florida.

Georgia

Hawaii

Hawaii and United States have a long and complex relationship, owing to several factors, including the illegal annexation of Hawaii and United States' oppression of Hawaiian culture and language. Their relationship in modern times is not one either of them can define. However, they are on friendly terms and do have a mutual understanding. United States has a lot of respect for Hawaii and holds her in high regard. He sometimes has big brotherly feelings towards her, but since the overthrow, he tries to suppress those, uncaring whether or not he comes off as cold.

Historically, United States and Hawaii considered themselves siblings. United States saw Hawaii as this naive younger sister who he had to protect from the horrors of the world and from Britain. United States fell in love with this idea of their relationship and would become overprotective and sometimes manipulative in order to keep it that way. Despite the inherent power imbalance, United States cared deeply for Hawaii, and she was one of the few nations he let his guard down around and would behave like a human around her. Hawaii made United States feel more human, and in the 19th century, that was something he needed.

When the overthrow happened, United States was initially conflicted, as his human and country sides warred over options. The human part that had grown so close to Hawaii wanted her to remain a country, while the country side wanted her annexation. The country side would eventually win, and United States turned his efforts to ensuring Hawaii survived annexation.

United States manipulated events to ensure Hawaii's survival. He thought the annexation would be in her best interest and wanted her to survive so they could be a proper family. When Hawaii rejected that, United States was confused, hurt, and betrayed, blaming their fallout on Hawaii's "savage roots." Their relationships would remain tense as United States tried to figure out their relationship. Most importantly, he never stopped caring about Hawaii, no matter how tense things got.

United States' mental breakdown during the Cuban Missile Crisis proved to be a turning point as United States finally began to realize the damage he had inflicted on Hawaii with the annexation, and he began frantically looking for ways to fix things. It hurt him a lot to realize that he had caused her so much harm in a misguided and racist attempt at "help," and he began pushing Hawaii away in an effort to give her space and wait for her to reach out to reconnect things. United States felt so overwhelmed with guilt whenever he saw her that for a long time after the realization, United States would become physically ill upon seeing Hawaii and then hate himself for it, as he hated his guilt, seeing it as an excuse for his actions.

United States would do his best to be accommodating to Hawaii after that and try to be more understanding of her, even though his mindset was still very racist, and he would often worsen things by implying racist things about Hawaii's people.

Eventually, with the Apology Resolution and United States' letter of apology, they began talking out their issues and trying to figure out what they were to each other, which is where their relationship still stands.

Deceased Personifications

Popham Colony

Popham Colony only lived for a year, but she was one of the few colonies that United States got to know as she was born and died before the Jamestown martial law. They did not talk often, but United States viewed her very positively and loved her sense of humor. He always called her "Poppy" and, upon his independence, made sure she got a proper grave. While he does miss her, the pain and memories have faded with time, and he cannot recall much about her.

Province of Maine

Province of Maine was a sickly child of United States, and that, along with the fact that she was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, they never spoke. When United States found out about her, he was distraught over her death and ensured she got a grave.

Wessagusset Colony

Wessagusset Colony was a sickly child of United States, and that, along with the fact that he was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, they never spoke. When United States found out about him, United States was distraught over his death and ensured he got a grave.

Lygonia

New England Confederation

United States was very close with New England Confederation. As she was not an alter, he was able to talk with her and have a relationship with her. They were very much united in their actions, and New England Confederation was someone that United States was immensely proud of. They debated a lot on religion, as part of her purpose was to help preserve Purtain values, but their relationship was always cordial. United States and her would also participate in colonial conflicts, and they generally had a very healthy father-daughter realtionship. United States was very upset when she died, and secretly blamed Britain for her death, although was too afraid to voice those thoughts. She has a grave in Boston that United States cleans every year on her birthday, and in the early days of being a country, United States would often go to her grave and talk to her.

Massachusetts Bay

Massachusets Bay was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, and they never spoke directly. However, Massachusetts Bay often would advise or influence United States, typically in relation to his Puritan beliefs and his issues with Britain. As United States was under the initial impression that Massachusetts Bay was his own thoughts, he pushed his concerns aside and viewed them as annoying. When United States found out about him, he was distraught over his death and ensured he got a grave. United States also felt a lot of guilt over the fact that he consistently brushed Massachusetts Bay off and called him annoying.

Saybrook Colony

Saybrook Colony was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, and they never spoke directly. However, United States found her to be treasonous, as she was born from supporters of Oliver Cromwell, and tried his best to ignore and suppress her. When United States found out about her, he was conflicted over her death due to the nature of her birth, amongst other things, but still ensured she got a grave.

New Haven Colony

New Haven Colony was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, and they never spoke directly. She was not one to talk to United States that often, so they had little interaction, although when she did speak, it was to ask United States to get New Haven a royal charter to boost her health. United States, furious that New Haven had hidden the judges that signed the death warrant of King Charles I, ignored these thoughts and pushed her aside, actively advocating for her death. United States would give her a grave, and he felt guilt over the fact that at the end of her life, she had to hear her father talking about how much he wanted her dead.

Province of Carolina

Province of Carolina was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, and they never spoke directly. However, Carolina was a very plan-orientated person and would often help United States organize his thoughts and think clearly when he was overemotional, and was viewed very highly by an oblivious United States as a result. United States was very troubled and upset by his death, wishing he could have thanked Carolina in person and ensured the province got a grave, which is right on the border between North and South Carolina.

West Jersey

West Jersey was an alter when United States was in denial about his DID, and they never spoke directly. West Jersey never spoke to United States often, so United States never formed an opinion of her. United States was upset by her death and made sure she got a grave in Burlington, her former capital.

Deseret

United States viewed Deseret as a mistake of a son and wished him death for the entire time the personification existed. United States never had a relationship with him and only gave him a grave in the 1980s. While United States felt a great deal of guilt for how he treated Deseret, he still refused to acknowledge that Deseret was his son and preferred to live in denial about how terrible of a father he was to Deseret.

Dakota Territory

Dakota Territory only ever existed as an alter, so he and United States spent a lot of time together. The beginning of their relationship was rough because it was the beginning of the Civil War, and United States was having a mental breakdown. As things calmed down, United States and Dakota got to know each other better and had a very positive relationship. United States helped Dakota out when his land was in the middle of conflicts with the Sioux, which made United States feel like he was helpful to at least one of his children, as things were still a bit rocky from the Civil War.

Dakota was also a great person for United States to talk to, as he had north and south regional differences and rivalries and understood what United States was dealing with during Reconstruction better than anyone else. United States was heartbroken when he learned that Dakota would be divided into two different states and was horrified by Dakota's acceptance of the fact. Dakota passed away peacefully, and United States made sure he told North and South Dakota about the person their predecessor had been. 

Panama Canal Zone

United States really loved Panama Canal Zone, seeing her as a profitable and caring person who was an effective worker. However, there were tensions in their relationship related to the Jim Crow laws and the fact that Panama Canal Zone still wanted to have a relationship with her mother. United States saw her as disloyal and sometimes treasonous during McCarthyism, and she wasn't allowed as much freedom as her siblings, United States' way of protecting her. She was seen as a foreign land under United States' care, and therefore, she wasn't a real American, just a daughter of United States that he was working to civilize. United States did view her highly, and was confused by many of the rifts in their relationship, seeing them as non-important. 

United States also was not the best parent, treating her more like a colleague or a friend at times, as he believed Panama Canal Zone would need to mature quickly to be a good personification of the Canal Zone. In her final two years, Panama Canal Zone spent most of her time in Panama than with United States, something that did hurt United States deeply, as he did not get to say goodbye before she died.

American Concession of Tientsin

American Concession of Tientsin was not recognized by United States as his child, and United States neglected him and never parented him, viewing him as a son of Qing Dynasty who had become convinced he was American.

American Concession in Shanghai

American Concession in Shanghai was slightly neglected by United States due to her geographical location, but United States made sure to visit her on her birthday and make some attempts at being a father to her. American Concession in Shanghai matured quickly and was never very cross with him, so United States presumed he was doing something right. She was also very mature for her age, and United States appreciated how she helped him when it came to his relations with Qing Dynasty.

James

James is one of the alters and has been a part of the system since 1609. While United States didn't start treating the alters like their own people until 1775-1800ish, James and United States have always had a relationship. James protected United States from a lot of the abuse they received as a colony, and once United States found out about it, United States was grateful. United States sees James as a voice of reason and respects him greatly despite any disagreements. 

James and United States consider each other biological brothers (United States is older by chronological age, but both United States and James consider James the older brother), and James almost entirely refers to United States by his human name. James was the one who proposed United States' first human name, and United States loves James for keeping him grounded in humanity. They can be opposites a lot and argue a lot about United States' role as a country and how human he is allowed to be, but at the end of the day, United States respects his "common sense" a lot.

United States is also so grateful for James' role in helping raise the colonies when United States was still in denial about their existence. Overall, their relationship is very positive and built on a lot of mutual respect and love for each other. James is the one person United States trusts wholeheartedly, and his brother's opinion is very important to him.

Caleb is another one of the human alters, appearing in 1834. His relationship with United States is more akin to friends than family. United States is grateful for Caleb, especially since Caleb deals with sexual situations and keeps the memories away from United States, and the child alters. 

United States does respect Caleb to a degree but is still uncomfortable with how Caleb acts, especially when Caleb is fronting. United States thinks Caleb is very immature and embarrassing when fronting. They have very different personalities, and United States is almost impressed, as well as confused by how human Caleb feels comfortable acting.

Despite their conflicts, United States and Caleb can have very passionate conversations about linguistics, and they do enjoy each other's presence. Just not for long periods of time. They are both stubborn, which leads to conflict.

Rebecca

Rebecca is one of the human alters, appearing in 1775-1776ish, right at the start of the American Revolution. From the beginning, her relationship with United States was tense. Rebecca was originally a persecutor, and much of her personality and beliefs in the early years was based on supporting England and Britain. Due to this, United States hated her because she tried to get him to give up the Revolution and tried to convince United States he was in the wrong for wanting to disown the British side of his family. Even after independence, she kept trying to convince United States he shouldn't be a country and attacked his insecurities. United States hated her for that and would often yell at her and wish her death, as well as do everything he could to keep her from fronting. 

As the years Rebecca calmed down more and stopped pointing out all of United States' flaws and continuing Britain's abuse, and her relationship with United States improved. United States doesn't understand her or why she stopped, but they have a more amicable relationship now, and America is okay with her fronting now.

Yapam

Yapam is a child alter who appeared in the early 1800s. Yapam and United States do not have much of a relationship. While Yapam is sometimes referred to as "what is left of United States' childhood innocence," United States does not feel like he has a lot in common with Yapam and does his best not to talk to him. United States just finds it awkward, and he doesn't understand Yapam.

George Washington

Due to the turbulent nature of United States' familial relationships during the revolution and due to the leadership that Washington displayed as both a military commander and a president, United States looked up to him highly and projected his want for a supportive father on Washington. While United States never knew if Washington reciprocated those feelings or not, United States saw Washington as a father figure in some ways, inspiring him to later take Washington as a surname.

Rowen Van Adrichem

Rowen was an ex-partner of United States, and they dated in the early 1990s. They were the one who first told United States what asexuality was after learning about United States' aversion to sexual relationships and helped United States realize that he was ace. They would become good friends, and a few months after learning that he was ace, United States told Rowen that he was the United States. 

Rowen and United States are not as close as they used to be, but they still talk often. United States is very grateful to Rowen for helping him discover he was ace and for not being like his previous partners (many of whom abused him). Rowen is the closest human friend United States has ever had, and he has told them a lot about personifications and the specific culture around them. He trusts Rowen with much of himself, and when they have time, they will go hiking together and just talk and enjoy being together. Rowen makes United States feel human.

Music

United States loves listening to music. He is a big fan of rock (especially Fall Out Boy), indie, and country (the good country). He has headphones with him constantly and listens to music when doing things. If he is at home, he will sing along to the songs and sometimes even do small little dances. 

United States also plays guitar and likes learning to play music on it. He used to be able to play piano but hasn't really done so since the early
1900s. He likes playing for his children but refuses to play in public.

Hiking

United States is an avid hiker and loves hiking in his national parks. It is his life goal to hike every trail in all his national parks and drag his kids along as much as possible. He also does a lot of backpacking when he is able to find the time. 

Sailing

United States enjoys sailing in various bays and lakes in his country and likes spending time on the water. Due in part to his experiences in history, he knows how to operate many different vessels and prefers boats with sails to motors.

Baseball

While United States had never played for a team, he enjoys playing small games with his states or just messing around with baseballs. He is a decent player but not a great player. He doesn't play to be good; he plays to have fun. 

Pottery

United States has been doing pottery for decades now. It started as a hobby to have something to do with his hands, but had evolved into a hobby that grounds him and helps him deal with stress and other traumas. It is something real in his hands that keeps him from getting too lost in his head. He also enjoys making things for people.

Cooking

United States likes cooking for people, although he is not one to experiment with cooking. He has a set of meals he likes to make, and those are the types of meals he will continue to make. He likes the monotony of a schedule and the process of cooking, as his life is very chaotic, and it helps to calm him down.
