The Great Depression? Man, talk about a depressing topic to start things with.

Yeah. I remember that; it mainly started around 1929. And every time to stock market or an economic crisis arrives, it sort of puts me on edge; really tensed up kind of stuff. I don't want that to happen again; I don't want to see my citizens suffer in that sort of way again.

During the time though, I really couldn't spend any money on anything; like me as a person. Me as my representation, it didn't just effect me financially, but it made me feel really fragile; weak... vulnerable. Something I hated and something that terrifies me.

It couldn't get out of bed; nothing as interesting to me anymore. Ten years earlier I had promised not to drink as much as I used to. It was hard to keep to that promise during this time.

I... uh.. I also had Lithuania staying with me at the time. He was my only real company and provided services for me since he was too poor to work in his homeland. Russia took him back around this time, though.. I was left alone in a giant house when that was the worst time for me to be left alone...

I had to eventually rely and trust president to pull me out of the mess. It took longer than expected, but uh, yeah.

Stuff like that you don't easily forget.
