@longtail4711 France is America's mother. She and England were having a drunken argument/fight which turned into hate sex. France got pregnant, she and England kept it a secret, but after she gave birth they had another fight over what to do with the child. Finally France left him at England's feet and walked away, and England made up a story to Sister England about finding the orphaned child.
Of course, America was the rebellious troublemaker who eventually ran away from home as a teen, (which France subtly encouraged) but later reconciled with England as an adult. He doesn't consciously know about his true relationship with France, but he keeps swinging between being charmed and repelled by France for reasons he can't quite explain to himself...
