U.S. — A devastated nation has been left wondering if maybe it was really the one at fault for its mom and dad separating.

Still grieving from the shock of the split, America could not help thinking that maybe none of this would have happened if it had just behaved better.

"I really think deep down, this is all my fault," sobbed the nation collectively. "I know they both say they love me, but I just feel like I'm the reason they aren't together anymore. I can't stand their being apart. Maybe if I had acted better, they would still be together."

Despite both sides assuring America that it wasn't the reason for the breakup, the country has not been able to shake the feeling. "They keep saying, 'sometimes couples grow apart' and 'sometimes couples accuse each other of being part of a longstanding sex trafficking ring', but it still seems like we're responsible," sighed the nation. "Just tell us what we did, and we'll be better. We promise."

At publishing time, America had pleaded for its mom and dad to think about the kids and maybe try to remember why they loved each other in the first place.
