Description
Alfred F. Jones, known as America, embodies the United States. Discovered as an infant in the New World by Finland, France, and England, he was primarily raised by England, forging a brotherly bond. This bond fractured during America's fight for independence but later mended into a complex, bickering-yet-caring alliance through the World Wars and into modern times.
He presents with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a lean, muscular "high school jock" physique, standing 177 cm tall. His distinct features include glasses representing Texas and a cowlick ("ahoge") symbolizing Nantucket Island. His typical attire consists of a tan uniform and a brown bomber jacket historically marked with an emblematic "50" for the fifty states.
America radiates exuberant self-confidence, declaring himself a "hero" championing justice and freedom. He exhibits cheerfulness and bluntness, coupled with poor diplomacy, often interfering or failing to "read the atmosphere," though capable of logical seriousness when needed. He obsesses over superheroes, fast food (especially hamburgers), and movies, enjoying archaeology, sports, and inventing ineffective diet gadgets. He possesses superhuman strength, demonstrated by feats like swinging a bison or dragging a Rolls Royce. Conversely, he harbors fears of ghosts, horror movies, Marmite, and weighing scales.
He shares a blood-brother bond with Canada (Matthew Williams), though their exact age order is ambiguous, with some indications America matured faster. America frequently overshadows or forgets Canada, causing tension. He considers Japan and England his "true friends," collaborating with Japan on tech and media while maintaining a tsundere rapport with England. He hosts an alien named Tony but cannot perceive magical beings like fairies except on Halloween.
A significant storyline explores his immortality through "Davie," a human childhood friend. Initially oblivious to human aging, America repeatedly failed to recognize Davie as he grew older. Witnessing Davie's death as an old man forced America to confront the tragic ephemerality of human life against his eternity, revealing psychological complexity beneath his cheerful exterior.
Globally, he positioned himself as leader of the Allied Forces (England, France, China, Russia) against the Axis Powers in WWII. Modern narratives show him collaborating with former adversaries on world issues, though his ideas often prove impractical or geographically ignorant, famously attempting to drive to Lithuania or mistaking a U.S. map for the world.
