The United Kingdom, who shall be formally declared as the UK was a country located in Europe. However, the UK was an outcast compared to the rest of the world. Although the UK had managed to rule over various countries under its reign, it eventually saw its downfall. Nowadays, the UK is just some random kid at school who gets bullied for being British. Nobody likes tea licking crooked teeth British people.

UK anxiously stepped into the hallways, with his heart pounding at every step he took. Kids gathered in crowds as they pointed their fingers and cackled at the United Kingdom. UK just wanted to disappear, why was everybody so hostile towards him? As UK contemplated his life choices, he bumped into Chisato - the school bully who hated everyone, especially British people. She didn't even say anything before she punched UK right in the face. The crowd went wild, cheering her on. They were all laughing while UK bled from his nose and mouth. He fell down on the ground, unable to speak or move. A couple of kids came up to him and started kicking him around.

Hero saw UK on the ground withering in pain, and Hero knew he needed to put his foot down. With one swift hand, Hero grabbed the UK by his waist and pulled him aside to safety. UK flinched at the touch, realizing his face has gone red.

"Are you okay?" asked Hero, concerned about what happened to UK.

"I'm fine," said UK, still trying to regain his composure. "Why are you helping me?"

"It's nothing... I think maybe we should go somewhere else."

He glanced back at the fight scene that was going on behind them and quickly led the way outside. Once they got far enough away, UK looked at Hero. His eyes widened when he noticed how handsome Hero really was- not just because of his cool outfit either. It was probably due to the fact that he saved him from getting beat up again. The look made him feel good inside, like there was someone actually caring for him besides himself.

"Thank you..." UK blushed profusely, dusting the imaginary dust off of him. "Uhm, I need to get going."

"Okay, stay safe. If you don't advocate for yourself they'll get to you. Also, I think your accent is really cool."

"Thanks!" said UK shyly, looking down at the floor. He awkwardly walked away like some toddler who just learned the art of movement. The UK stumbled and bumped into things, refusing to look up at anyone. His breathing was shallow until he collided into someone, Steve (who shall get his own story the Steve lore is truly interesting). Steve dropped his books and surprised and after realizing it was just the UK he frowned in annoyance and bent over to retrieve the scattered books.

"Oh, uhm, sorry." stuttered the UK.

Steve ignored the apology. Instead he glared at the UK and snorted.

"What do you want?" demanded Steve gruffly.

"N-Nothing!"

"Did they bully you again?"

"Yes! And then Chisato hit me too!"

"Chisato?!" exclaimed Steve in surprise.

"She's meaner than usual today!" whined the UK.

"Well, if you're done whining, let's go. We have class now."

With those words, Steve turned around and headed back to the classroom. Steve was the only other British person in the entire school, but somehow wasn't the target of bullying despite the noticeable accent. No matter what kind of insults the students threw at him, he always kept his head high and never retaliated. People respected him more for it. When he entered the room, the whole class stared at him expectantly. Everyone was curious to find out what he thought of the latest news. UK followed in his shadow and sat down in the economics classroom. The teacher began lecturing, explaining how banks work and how interest rates determine the economy. By listening to his lecture, both of them could see how much money was involved. Both of them understood it pretty well since they grew up living through it.
