I'm given so much freedom -

Can wander where I please,

No one to guide or stop me,

No right path to appease.

My tender heart, this vast heart

Will beat without a cause.

the song "Постиронично" (post-ironic) by Буерак (Buerak)

he calls Russia an "old man," although in fact Russia's age is quite small by the standards of the countries.

the age of countries in my AU moves differently, so in fact, Russia "gave birth" to him when he was 24 and type... Russia was 18 at the time of 1945. In my AU, they grow up to 18 years old very quickly, and after that their growth slows down
