hi everyone! im matthew williams, but you may know me as mattieu or aph canada!
here's some important facts about me >
my pronouns are he/him (mod headcanons he/they)
i have a little polar bear named kumajirou (even if we often get each other's name's wrong... heheh)
my birthday is july 1st
im 159 years old as of 2026!! (๑>◡<๑)
im 178cm/5'10" tall
my brother is alfred/america, and i like to think im the older one (im not)
im close with francis/france. we have history together, and i speak a little french. i see him as a father figure, if im being honest (mod speaks like... novice high to intermediate/b1 french)
i love maple pancakes!
i live in the eastern time zone, or eastern standard/daylight time
i like to renovate my house sometimes. it can be a hassle, but it's fun. i also like to paint and help my neighbors. i should help my neighbors paint their houses!
i have a hard time talking to people, and its difficult for me to insert myself into a conversation without getting spoken over. nonetheless, i still want more people to be aware that im different than alfred! healthcare!
that being said, i love ice cream. alfred and i can be similar in some ways
im fine with cursing! i actually curse to myself quite a bit...
i use 24 hour time, or military time, and not the 12-12 stuff alfred uses. i honestly don't know what it's called. either way, i'll use both metric and imperial so many people will be able to understand!!
im neutral about many ships including me (other than the ones in my bio), but i try not to post ship stuff in particular. platonic ships are fine! i love friends
IM NOT FUCKING PREGNANT.

i love to answer questions and asks from people, along with giving advice! i may even draw a little doodle to go along with it...

mod here. addressing the elephant in the room, i am american. sorry to disappoint.
WAHH MATTHEW IS MY FAVORITE I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHHH i made this blog solely because i love matthew and i wish to spread his joys. neither of us will be referring to the personifications as countries, but rather as their personal names. (most of the time. if he really respects someone he'll use their country name..)
mod's pronouns are he/they (i was unaware of the pipeline)
you can refer to me as the mod or matthews boss, i don't really care. i have finally decided on a name; calgary! my name is calgary (clarification: im not actually english royalty and in no way am i related to canadas prime minister or government lmao. i call other country's leaders their boss, like "alfreds boss" refers to his president and stuff, so yeah. whenever i call myself his boss, i mean his smallest, least powerful boss and we both have higher bosses to worry about)
im an ixtp. if that explains anything.
i want this blog to be for everyone, but with great power comes great responsibility. just, don't push matthew into incestuous, pedophilic, racist, sexist, body shameful, nazi-esque, or queerphobic conversations and i couldn't care less. please keep in mind that everyone has different tolerance and sensitivity levels. if you think it might be risky to ask, don't risk it.
please don't hesitate to correct me if i get something wrong about canada. i've never been to canada, but im doing my best to study. your patience is acknowledged and thanked.
just like matthew, im also in eastern time
i freaking love potato pancakes (kartoffel puffer) 😭😭 and kiełbasa YUM
i understand broken german. if that matters. matthew does not, unfortunately. i think i already said something about french but i can read french pretty well, but when it comes to speaking or writing........
both july 1st AND july 4th will be celebrated. cry about it losers. we go all or nothin with the independence. sorry
as you can tell, my personality is drastically different than matthews. i may accidentally go a little out of character tee hee
man what the fuck i relate to lovino fuck my stupid life
as said above, matthew uses the 24 hour clock. i grew up on the am/pm 12 hour clock, so i may confuse myself on accident. i've been using military time for about two years though now, so i've gotten used to it (lie). fahrenheit vs celsius on the other hand.......
i may be american but i like to use grey instead of gray, but i usually switch between them. the more i dedicate my time to this and the more i play the call of duty campaigns the more i sound like a brit... help
mod loves to read manga and listen to music, if that gives any ask prompts
lets see who's read this far. im aromantic and asexual. i looked at the buy one get two free sale and absolutely cashed in. im sorry my humor doesn't make any sense
my kumajirou is a raccoon plushie the size of my face. his name is raccoony.
im chronically online (lies) and i have the humor of a middle school boy. i take after my father
i should shut the fuck up 🎉
FELIKS IS MY SECOND FAVORITE. ERIKA/LILI/LIECHTENSTEIN IS MY THIRD FAVORITE (you can tell because i know how to spell liechtenstein !! >_<)
whenever it's my turn to speak, the text will be purple! i love ourple
my ao3 is mourning_tree and my pinterest is mattieus_canada (i think)
That is not something I have ever really thought of before. Most nations that I befriend end up turning on me or leaving to be friends with different nations. Or they...well...disappear to say the least.
I really have not had a nation stick around long enough to consider them my favorite. If I had to choose one though...maybe Canada as of right now? We have been getting closer...though I am afraid it probably won't last...
