HUMAN NAMES: At least in America's case, he sees himself as an individual within a larger structure. Yes, he's a country, and his people determine what he is, but he also had a body, mind, and emotions. I reason that this is mainly due to the fact that America is such a hugely individualistic society (seriously, how many of us actually hold respect of elders and the need to conform above individuality?). To him, "America" is what he is, providing a sort of framework for his personality and actions. Alfred F. Jones is his self--the body and mind that can hug, love, cry, anything that a human can do. He mostly only tells his citizens once they know he's The United States of America, at least that's his pattern thus far in the game. It's both an intimate and casual thing for him, depending on who is using it.
I have no idea if I made sense there.
idk how many countries would know his human name. England, Canada, and France definitely, Denmark since America told him, maybe Finland and (if he ever met America in the future) Sweden.
