Listen closely and you should be able to hear

I'm the embodiment of a country, all the land, people, culture, history, plants, animals, ideas, and everything else that makes up the idea of a nation. But my body looks human, even if it ain't, my organs exist, even if they don't wear, and I don't age much, no matter how old I get. I know what my people are thinking, but I have to obey my bosses, even when I don't agree. I'm not even really sure what "I" is. Where I stop being a representative and start having opinions. A long time ago I'd kill people, but now that's against the law. I used to kill Christians, but now I am one. I have to listen to Germany, even though I kind of hate him, not because I want to, or because my boss wants to, or anyone in my country wants me to, but because he invaded me and somehow owns me. Whenever there's a war, it hurts, and my body parts are different landmasses and cities and things. I don't know how that works, but I just know that Århus is my hand and Copenhagen is my heart, and North Schleswig is somewhere in my leg.

But calling myself "Preben Kierkegaard" is way easier for most humans.
