When America was neutral... oh those days.. where did they go?
Fun fact during the start of WW2 America was a popular choice of being a protecting power and was a really popular choice alongside Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland.

I used Sister America here since I thought she'd fit that role more, Brother America is just very quick to pick sides unlike her. And Sweden since he's known America as a kid and stuff. But those are just my HC's.
Sweden did have a colony in colonial America and was the first nation that was neutral to recognize America as an independent nation and allied with us during the First Barbary War for the first year till they bailed and deiced just to pay the pirates but the US kept on fighting (and we won, and we won the sequel yay)
I headcanon Sister America despised Nazi Germany and was even afraid of him but wanted to stay neutral because even though she knew he was evil, she didn't know how evil and didn't want any more of her people to die and just wanted to use lend leases to help the UK and USSR
@AmericanButterfly I am glad too that y'all pitched in and helped with the war, but I think that Sweden is kind of disappointed of where the America's are at now but you can't change time so he just let's it be.
I like to think Sweden or the other neutrals tease Sister America of "being one of them" although. Or other formerly neutral countries like Netherlands and Belgium

The truth is I'm glad we joined WWII and help defeat the Axis
but then we kind of got stuck as a superpower and couldn't go back
it's really one of those damn if you do and damn if you don't
Humon even made a joke about that too Stop Your Meddling
