THE DISCOVERY A fundamentally lonesome person, Russia believed he could survive the Academy all on his own but his assumptions were quickly torn down as the Awakening sessions began. With the discoveries of latent gifts and the arrival of a certain someone, Russia is forced to accept his new circumstances and forge the most unlikely of bonds. EARTHBOUND As the Ranking Tournament looms over their shoulders, a sinister plot slowly unfurls, hoping to plunge their fragile but peaceful world into a new age. When the Gateway is sabotaged, the doubtful duo makes their way to the human realm to hone their Awakenings, only to find themselves entangled in something far more treacherous. Buried secrets slowly reveal themselves in the worst ways possible as Russia and America come face to face with their greatest challenge yet. THE RANKING With a crisis averted and new clues surfacing, all seems to be going smoothly, right on time for the arrival of the most important event of a countryhuman's life, the quadrennial Ranking Tournament. As the entire continent gathers together to watch the games, new friends and foes alike are introduced, each more powerful than the last. Resounding clashes of hopes and dreams are nothing but abundant but even these brilliant sparks cannot hide the unspoken secrets any longer. The games grind to a halt at the declaration of war, a promise to recreate the world. ??? to be continued? FIRST WATTPAD EVER!

"Good is such a strange word, don't you think? You think that you're good and I think that I'm good, but we both think that each other is evil." The person huddling near my states whispered. "Who's really right if both of us are wrong?" I didn't know what she meant by that then, but I did now. It only took a lifetime to figure it out.

When you see Alfred F. Jones, the anthropomorphic representation of the great and mighty United States of America, what would you truly see? A talkative fool surrounded in a cloud of idiocy and gluttony. Nobody would ever expect that the man, a superpower, was hiding and running away in a mask that will eventually break apart one day. highest ranking! #1 in axispowerhetalia #6 in america

' ' If the US went to war with the world... ' ' - ART BY ME! - #1 countryhumansau / #3 in statehumans / #2 in ww3 / #1 politicaldrama Original AU: @Reflectiron [with permission] For all its history, the United States had only known a constant fight against authoritarian powers. The Revolutionary War, where the American colonists fought for freedom against the British Empire in order to create a democratic system, where all would be equal * under the Constitution. World Wars 1 and 2, where the United States and its allies had faced off against an imperialistic Germany, later on fighting and eventually atomic-bombing Imperial Japan. And throughout the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States would face off in the deadly Cold War full of proxy wars and nuclear threats from both sides in order to maintain their ideological superiority. Then, millennium dawn, the War on Terror would see a drawn out conflict between American forces and middle eastern dictators. [Alternate future/AU starts here]: Yet, in an increasing age of political polarization, the personification for the United States has found itself under increased demands and pressure. Where people were once United under the American dream, they have become divided in every way possible. What will happen when the United States is forced to take authoritarian measures to keep itself in power, promising to the world it'll only be temporary? And what will happen when a power hungry dictator rises to power in the government of the largest military in the world? This is the buildup to Reflectiron's Countryhumans Tenebrous AU, where we see how POA got into power and ended up declaring war on the entire world.
