"Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway.
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes.
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I'm willing to wait for it. "
- Wait for it, Hamilton : An American Musical

Headcanon: A lot of things can happen when a Countryhuman dies.

• What happens when they die?
- First of all. They die... DUH.
- Second, the country, civilization, empire , or whatever commends a mourning period (it depends how long but the numbers of days changes for one to another) The flag of the deceased leader would fly half-mast throughout the mourning period.
- Third, after the funeral. The will of the said now deceased leader would be read to the public.
- Fourth, his or her heir to the position of leader would immediately have to be declared as one after the reading of the will to the public.

•What happens to the funeral? Who gets to attend it?
- The funeral would follow traditions of the country and their will.
- Who gets to attend?
• The now current leader (usually their child)
• Their child (children if more than one)
• The government
• The capital
• Cities
• Provinces
• Towns
• Allied countries or countries they were closed with.
• Spouse (if they ever have gotten married)

• What happens? Do they have an afterlife or something?
-Nope. No afterlife. They just...wander around like ghosts.

• Who can see them?
- Easy. Their child (children if more than one) and they can see each other (which I  find really interesting)

• If they see each other, what do they do?
- It depends on who... Some would mind their own business, some would try to make conversations , others would immediately yell at each other, throwing slurs and insults here and there while the rest would try to stop them or watch.

•Are their children okay with it?
- It depends on who you're asking. Though, almost all of them would find it weird.

• Do they still have the injuries of when they died?
- No. No they don't . Rather, they would have a scar of it .

• Do they still need basic necessities ?
-No. They don't need them anymore.

• Can they come back to life?
- Nope. They're dead. Once you're dead. You're dead.

• Could they still remember their lives? Their spouses? Their child? Children? How they died?
- It depends. Some can only remember how they died and who their child or children were. Other can remember their lives and how they died. It's just really different for everyone.

• Can people see them?
- No. Absolutely not. Even if they can see dead people, dead countries are an exception.

• Where do they stay?
- They stay either at their old home (if they still have it) , with their child or children . Or, they stay in places that are very important to them when they were once alive.

A/N: Hello! Welcome back to the headcanon book!

Though, I get to talk about what happens when they die. The succession method wasn't really delved into (Don't worry you'll get a headcanon of that , soon enough)

This will be the last headcanon posted for now because tomorrow (Which is Monday for me) , I have to focus and study for my exams.

Please be reminded that this is my opinion , please don't bully me for that. Disagree? Okay that's fine we all have opinions but straight up bullying me because of it is a big no no.
If you have questions about this headcanon, feel free to ask me and I'll try to answer them.

I don't own nor create the song " Wait for it " I don't take credit for owning or creating the song.

All credits go to Lin Manuel Miranda

That will be all.
Hope you have a wonderful day/ night/ whatever time of day is.
