Meet the Nordics!

The rest of my first day as a country went well, though I must admit I was surprised when Canada's polar bear cub spoke! "Who are you?" said the bear, who's name was Kumajiro. Canada said "I'm Canada, your owner." and the little bear said no more. America bought hamburgers for dinner, to which I passed on, instead eating a seafood salad. After dinner, France kept snickering, and when I asked what was so funny, he shouted "Pillow fight!" and hit me in the stomach with a hidden pillow. For atleast the next fifteen minutes, the room was filled with flying pillows, which were thankfully feather free. As it was getting late, the other countries said good-bye and departed, leaving me all alone again...or so I thought. As I was drifting off to sleep, I heard a few different voices. "Are you sure this is the right place, Denmark?" one voice asked. "They better not flirt with m'wife." I heard another say. Soon after, there was a knocking at my door. I rushed to see who it was and there stood five people. The one closest to the entry had an ax with him, another had what appeared to be a puffin with a pink bowtie, and a third had a hair curl that was...floating? "Hey, new country!" said the one with the ax. "My name is Palamecia, thank you very much!" I said, trying to sound fearless, when in truth, the sight of these men had me a bit nervous, especially the one with the ax! "Oh. I'm Denmark!" he said, and before I could protest, I was being smothered by his coat as he greeted me with a bear hug. Shocked by this, I tried to shove him away, but with my lack of muscle, my attempts were in vain. However, the one with the puffin said "Denmark, I don't think he really cares for bear hugs." and at that, Denmark let go of me and appologised. "Thank you." I said to the one with the puffin. "Don't mention it! I'm Iceland, there's Norway, and then Sweden and Finland!" he said, pointing out each country. "Finland here is m'wife." Sweden stated as Finland blushed. "The five of us together are the Nordic nations!" Denmark explained as he helped himself to one of the five extra hamburgers. "Okay, but I was just getting ready to sleep!" I said. "Oh well, after the last ten countries left, I was getting kind of lonely anyways." I said before recounting the day's events and to my great surprise, even Denmark--mighty, ax-carrying, manly Denmark--shuddered in fear upon the mere name of Russia. After that, the Nordics merely chatted amongst themselves and eventually, they all left. I finally went to sleep and that night, I had a dream that I was playing the piano.
