Answer:
United States and Switzerland are leading the parade in this painting, since they had just moved toward becoming nation states at that point. The U.S. is a nation of 50 states covering a tremendous swath of North America, with Alaska in the northwest and Hawaii broadening the country's essence into the Pacific Ocean

United States and Switzerland are leading the procession in Sorrieu because they have laready been declared as states.
- The United States and Switzerland, by this time nation-states, are leading the parade, far past the Statue of Liberty.
- France has just arrived at the statue and is easily recognised by its revolutionary tricolour.
- The German people, carrying the tricolour flag of black, red, and gold, follow her. The flag they are waving is a reflection of liberal ambitions in 1848 to merge the several German-speaking principalities into a nation-state under a democratic constitution.
- It is interesting to note that at the time Sorrieu drew this image, the German peoples did not yet exist as a single nation.
- The peoples of Austria, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Lombardy, Poland, England, Ireland, Hungary, and Russia follow the Germanic peoples. Christ, the saints, and the angels look down from the skies above at the scene.
- Alaska in the northwest and Hawaii extending the country's core into the Pacific Ocean make up the 50-state union that makes up the majority of North America.
- Switzerland is a hilly country in Central Europe that is home to several lakes, villages, and the tall Alps pinnacles. Its metropolitan areas have mediaeval neighbourhoods with historic sites like the wooden chapel bridge in Lucerne and the Zytglogge clock tower in Bern, the country's capital.
Hence, United States and Switzerland are leading the procession in Sorrieu.
