I realized I never put what Soviet's flag is now and I'm too lazy to go back and put it there, so here it is:

When I say countryhumans now, I now mean the countryhumans (which includes all the retired empires/dynasties/etc), the international groups, and America's kids.
One of you guys figured out who the brothers are! It's America, Australia, Canada, Confederacy, and New Zealand! Now you need to figure out the purpose of the sentences. Here's the last two and a new one: There once was a brother in a set of five... He, his four brothers, and everyone they knew were in danger... There will be three alive...
I'm sure I can count on you guys to figure it out! Remember to look for similarities between the sentences 😉
Also, you're going to be mad again. Actually, things are just going to rapidly decline. You're going to be mad for the next few chapters.
Fifteen days.
It's been fifteen days since the countryhumans woke up, starting a new life. Fifteen days since Drew left them.
By this point, all the countryhumans' pets have been freed. Additionally, the groups that went out had collected clothes, medicine, and more food. There were a couple of close calls while they were out, but luckily, they carried out their mission successfully.
As the days passed, everyone was starting to get restless. They've been sitting underground for over two weeks now. They still didn't know who it was that attacked them, so they couldn't plan to attack them first. The only thing they really knew about them was that they were out there, most likely preparing to have them all killed.
To try and take people's minds off of what was going on, America's kids had decided to go on with preparations for the gender-switched casting of The Little Mermaid. That actually did work. The kids doing the play were pretty much preoccupied with trying to finalize everything. This also helped take away from some of the anxiousness everyone felt by giving them something good to look forward to.
Today was the day the musical was being performed. Illinois was playing Ariel, Michigan was playing Prince Eric, Maryland was playing Ursula, Georgia was playing Sebastian, Ohio was Flotsam, Missouri was playing Jetsam, Hawaii was Flounder, Connecticut was Grimsby, Louisiana was Chef Louis, New Jersey was Scuttle, and South Dakota was King Triton. Around twenty more of the kids were other characters in the play with fifteen more people, including director California, on stage crew duties.
