In the year 2020, some stupid government officials had an idea.
The idea was to create a makeshift river---in the middle of Oregon.
The whole state of Oregon had already been closed off, so those who lived there, could never leave. This was due to the San Andreas fault causing California to float of into the ocean. About 2 million people died during the earth quakes, and about 3 million people were injured. Although a majority of California is still standing, it is no longer connected to the United States.
While they were trying to create the river, something terrible happened.
Due to the earth's crust being shifted dramatically over the past 5 years, the "river" that went from the top to the bottom of the state, turned into one long sinkhole.
With no way out of Oregon, and the sinkhole preventing transport from one side of the state to the other, they only have one choice...
Make a bridge.

Your father had climbed the ranks of the UN to be one of few prestigious people given the privilege of working for people known as VIP delegates: the mysterious, weird, and endearing pseudo-immortals that called themselves countries. Consequently, from toddlerhood to preadolescence, you had come to know and love those people. Now, after years apart, you're following in your father's footsteps to return to their company. But once you arrive, special feelings are beginning to surface for someone in particular. What are you, a mere mortal, supposed to do with this growing flame?

Innsania 2C /Lucy pov/
Everything started in 2036. The pollution was so bad that the end of the world was predicted to be right around the corner. As complete panic set in around the world, the rich and important people were all gathered and placed on giant spaceships with enough resources and room to house generations of human beings. Before they left though, the government leaders fired As a result, most of the human population died off and earth was a complete wasteland. The little that survived started building local communities and trying to survive in the destroyed excuse of a planet. On the disaster of a planet, creatures mutated and were born out of the nuclear chemicals; creating new species and monsters that hunted humans. While hundreds and hundreds of years passed, the monsters kept evolving and the people kept adapting while still trying to keep a sort of community. They didn't want to lose all of their humanity and become nothing more than animals that hunted the monsters: then they would truly be no better than the monsters themselves. So they stayed civil while still doing what it took to survive.Complete

Project: Savior (Splatoon x Fallout NV/4 Male Reader)
So yeah, you've all heard the story told by many. About how embracing nuclear power instead of fearing it would lead to having technology advanced quicker, you'd be partially correct about that... The year 2234 was the first and last time humanity was wrong about this statement. After the threat of WW5 many countries were locked into the doctrine of MAD (mutually assured destruction) if war with this power was to happen. But, worry not as many smart people did many smart things like make the Pip-Boy a kind of personal computer strapped to your wrist, there was also the assist bots (creative, I know) who helped the common folk with menial tasks, and stasis chambers or more commonly known as cryogenic pods (cryo pods for short). Well, after some undisclosed country(ies) launched their nukes at both the north and south poles, the world as we knew it was being flooded. People from all over the world had scrambled to try to get to their local vaults that were built by Vault-Tech to try and weather this worldwide catastrophe. Unfortunately, like many stories began the entirely of the human race was not fortunate. Nearly the entirety of the human populace was wiped out. There were was at least a few known places like Alterna and Vault 111. Well, like all the other places, they didn't last long. Alterna went into the dust after a failed attempt at flying a rocket into space to try and find a more suitable planet for humans. And almost every Vault had some sort of problem from a lack of power to improper oxygen filtration to radiation leaks. Well there was one Vault that's in an undisclosed location in a place called Vault 069 and it held the best and brightest people. This is the story of one of its only surviving residence lived with the new life that was created after ~12,000 years of not being seen. This is the story of a man nicknamed The Savior also known as (Y/N) the last remaining human on earth or at least what's left of it.
Crazy Little Americans
I'm not good at summaries. America's secret gets out to the other nations. So original, I know. Just enjoy, I guess. Hetalia and the cover art doesn't belong to me. All I own is my OCs and the story, I guess. Man, I don't know how this works. I'm so sleep deprived. Date started: June 4th, 2023Complete
