It's August 64 AD. Three years earlier 20.000 Roman soldiers were butchered in a bloody revolt against the Roman occupation of Britain. The Romans restored order quickly. This followed by increase and prosperity within the new province. London became the provincial capital and the center of international merchandise. The new Roman roads and new Roman towns made transportation easier, quicker and attractive. It is at this time, that in Northern Europe a big economic recession occurred. Under Roman rule, the economy of the British tribes was initially focused on trading with the Mediterranean, Indian, Southeast Asian and Chinese markets. Suddenly, shocking news arrived in Britain of a terrorist attack on both Rome itself and on Lyon, the Capital of Gaul. Both cities were the target of mass pyromania and hundreds of thousands of people died. The merchant-ambassadors of the far east kingdoms Funan, Mahan, Baekje, Gaya, Jinhan, Silla, Ryuku, Mon, and Kyushu, became worried that this might lead to an end of their position in Britain. They feared that Nero might use this attack as an excuse to close down the Maritime Sino-Roman trade in silk, rice, art and wine. But then, on the advice of a adventurer, their attention turned to Scandinavia. What are they up to?

Neolithic
The first agricultural revolutions began about 10,000 BCE in Egypt, China and Mesopotamia (Iraq). Trading require counting and the first written language; in general use by 2600 BCE. The first epic poem, Gilgamesh, was written in cuneiform. The first alphabet assigned Semitic characters to Egyptian hieroglyphs about 2000 BCE. It was adopted by the Greeks about 800 BCE and later modified for the Roman Latin alphabet. The Chinese built the first blast furnaces (using piston-bellows driven by waterwheels) and cast iron farm tools and weapons were common by 500 BCE. Austronesians sailed outrigger canoes over 6,000 kilometers from Taiwan to reach New Zealand from about 3000 BCE. About 100 BCE the Malays of Indonesia traded between China, India and Africa in sailing ships carrying 1000 people and a 260 ton cargo. The Greek navigator, Pytheas, sailed to the north Atlantic about 325 BCE where he recorded polar ice, the Midnight Sun and lunar tides. The Roman Prefect of Egypt (26-24 BCE), Aelius Gallus, noted 120 trading ships leaving Myos Hormos for India. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Concluida
Unlocking the Saga of the Ishtarian Cold War
In the tumultuous landscape of the 20th century, one nation stood tall, casting its shadow across the world stage - the Pergrande Kingdom. Born out of the ashes of World War II, this behemoth emerged as a formidable force, challenging the existing power dynamics and sparking the flames of the Cold War. With a fervent determination to spread their socialist ideology, the Russian Pergrandeans embarked on an unprecedented journey of expansion and control. East versus West, communism versus capitalism - this struggle for supremacy would ultimately seal the fate of an empire that rose to great heights before crashing down in a spectacular display of power and disillusionment. The rise of the Russian juggernaut of a kingdom in eastern Ishtar can be traced back to the aftermath of World War II. 46 years later, the fall of the Soviet Union marked not only the end of an era but also a profound shift in global politics. However, did the Cold War truly end in 1991? Or was the fall of the USSR a temporary peace treaty that only lasted until 2014?Concluida
Is this the afterlife? (Countryhumans x reader)
Okay so let me start with this. This is kind of platonic, kind of romantic in a sense. Most of this is reader-chan interacting with the countries in various ways. It's not a oneshot book, and god do I have to say, is it a slow burn. This book also might be a little hard to read, but I'm sure you'll be fine. There'll also be little to no sexual themes in this book, but if there is something on the lime-y side, I'll mark it with a *. You have been warned. Summary: You die, or do you not? It's a question you'll never be able to answer. Disappearing in the rift between mortality and its end, you land, surrounded by something inhumane, yet beautiful in its own sense. There, you find out who you truly are, and who you were Always meant to be.Concluida
Migration
The Roman Empire began to decline after Germanic tribes crossed the river Rhine in 406 CE. When Constantine III recalled the legions from Britain, three years later, the Angles and Saxons invaded and Britain became known as Angleland. The Visigoths sacked Rome in 410. The Vandals invaded north Africa in 429 and conquered Carthage before crossing the Mediterranean to sack Rome in 455 CE. Meanwhile, Christianity grew from a minor Hebrew religious cult to dominate much of Europe. With the continual violence, people reverted to a poorer lifestyle. However, the metal workers, glass blowers, carpenters, leather workers, rope makers, weavers, potters and farmers developed more efficient horse drawn plows, improved crop yields, build better boats and the first engineers designed water wheels to irrigate crops, grind seeds and saw wood. They invented wooden barrels, wagon wheels and windmills as the Chinese invented paper and printing. Meanwhile, the Indians revolutionized mathematics and Moslems discovered chemistry. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago.

Starting World War 3! (A Hetalia Fanfic)
Despite it being well past sunrise, the house was dark. I had woken up with a start, hearing the sound of a car below but now as I lay awake, I was in even more of a panic. "Don't make a sound." She whispered as she clasped a hand over my mouth, "The house is surrounded. They're going to kill us. They're going to kill the countries." ... It is gradually nearing to two decades since Taishya Rovanoff ran away with her twins and despite the media taking the world by storm, great tensions are underlying once-happy friendships with the nations. When a young and perhaps too-curious state comes across some files, she decides it is her own personal mission to solve the missing-twin mystery. This, however, proves more challenging than not when old scars are reopened leading to a series of events which brings the world to its knees. With forgotten prophecies and mysterious attacks threatening the lives of once-strong countries, the world is inevitably falling apart. So how is it, with all the chaos going on, a missing lady, a set of twins, a naïve child, a sickly teenager, a frightened mother, a celestial body and a queen all bring about the darkest hour the personified nations have ever faced? How is it that the threads of the earth are slowly undoing to bring about the start of the end of the world? ... DISCLAIMER: The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons, places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred. The only things that I own are the plot, Taishya and any other OC's I might decide to include. If I did own Hetalia, I wouldn't be writing this...actually, I reckon I would be on an island, basking in the sun and drinking a pineapple cocktail whilst my servants brought slices of nectarines. Hetalia and it's characters belong to their rightful genius owner, Hidekaz Himaruya...(seriously, that man is a god!).Concluida
Caledonian advocates
After emperor Trajan annexed Dacia, many Caledoni became more interested in becoming Roman due to the access to gold mines in the new province Dacia. A lot of them migrated to London in order to become involved in Roman commerce. The Caledoni send messengers to Rome requesting permit to trade with the Dacians. Within two years the Caledoni opportunists became wealthy. They reported their gains to their homeland. One of them returns to Caledonia in the hope to gain status with King Arvid. His corpse was found on a road far away from the palace. The murder caused much unrest in the south of Caledonia. The Roman governor of Britain even used this homicide as an excuse to raid several villages in the south of Caledonia. Despite Caledonia being a client kingdom of Rome, they were still treated as 'barbaric' by the officials in London. As a response King Arvid send advocates to London to find a solution, while he remained in Caledonia to prevent a civil war between the pro-Roman and the anti-Roman clans.Concluida
Middle Era
Jesus and Muhammad adopted the Hebrew's belief in one God and Christianity and Islam spread throughout the world. The Chinese were using gunpowder in the 9th century and, by the 13th , cannon dominated the battlefields. Paper money appeared in China from 1216, as many financial transactions were too large for heavy bronze coins. The Anglo-Saxons built light, fast ships to stop the Vikings raiding Britain and, in 1546, Henry VIII established the "Navy Royal" which Elizabeth I used to defeat the Spanish armada. Before 1764 a worker needed 50,000 hours to spin 100 lb of cotton thread on a hand-powered wheel but only 300 hours with a spinning machine. Between 1770 and 1773, James Cook crossed the Antarctic Circle and mapped the coasts of New Zealand, Australia and the west coast of north America. By 100 BCE, Chinese were weaving complex silk brocade cloth. In 1804, J. M. Jacquard reinvented the Chinese loom, using a chain of cards to control which threads of weft or warp appeared on the cloth. This was the beginning of computers.

[OLD] Escaping the Friendzone (Various! Hetalia x Reader)
(School AU) (Y/n) (L/n) is a very smart young lady. She always gets good marks on her quizzes and tests. She's nice to everyone and tries to stay positive around her peers/friends/family. However, behind closed doors she tends to break down. She has an older sister with mental health issues and an older brother whom she used to confide in but he moved away and barely visited and talked to his family. This only made the girl's life worse. Her childhood friend and neighbor, Gilbert stopped talking to her as much when he started middle school, but she still hung out with Ludwig. Her mother was always stressed between being a single mom and dealing with her sister. So the girl used her studies and books as an escape method from the real world. Of course she had some friends, but not many really GOOD friends. NOTE: The reader has Situational Depression DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hetalia, the characters, art, or the au. I only own the plot and whatnot. And another issue is that there are a LOT of countries so I can't really do all of them, so the only characters falling for you will be: Francis Bonnefoy (France) Alfred F. Jones (America) Matthew Williams (Canada) Arthur Kirkland (England) Ludwig Beilschmidt (Germany) Gilbert Belischmidt (Prussia) Feliciano Vargas (Italy) Lovino Vargas (Romano) Antonio Fernandez Carriedo (Spain) Ivan Braginski (Russia) I suck at writing a fanfic with more than 10 characters involved unless I REALLY know ALL of the characters. Also I'm sorry I took out Japan and China. Before I started editing they got like zero attention and I felt bad Q_Q I hope you enjoy the story nonetheless and I thank you for taking your time reading this stupidly long description EDIT: If you want to see more interactions with a certain character (doesn't have to be ones you fall for) just let me know!Concluida
Another Chance: Summoning the British Isles
Torn from there former reality, the entirety of the British isles finds itself spotlighted on a world where different points in time have been intertwined with fantastical elements, from regular seeming humans being capable to hold a mystical power between there palms, to kingdoms that hold similar comparisons to there own nations historical achievements, this world holds no punches when it comes to nostalgia being corrupted by the magics of this world. Eventually, the people of the British isles must come to terms of there situation, they are no longer on Earth and must find new ways in adapting to there new situation amidst the overgrowing challenges such as the lack of the overall consumer goods and energy imports that they used to take for granted back on Earth. Yet the British isles shall prevail, and with it a new order may rise that can easily destroy whatever status quo that had been or whatever may stand in the way of the two new emerging nations. The United Kingdom and Ireland, once both of these nations had a strained relationship at best, but now in this new world, the two shall sooner or later patch up old wounds and put a stop to whatever tries to reopen or create anymore wounds for there respective countrymen. Eventually this New World shall bow down to the British isles as a powerful and benevolent leader in global affairs, giving the British isles one last chance to gain glory and praise on a global level. (Along with that, this world apparently has no creativity when it comes to naming itself, as "New World", just seems odd, maybe a word similar to Earth was to much for the people of these lands, even if they are capable of creating magical nukes). NOTICE: THIS WORK IS A FANFICTION OF THE ORIGINAL "SUMMONING JAPAN", WHICH INSTEAD FOLLOWS THE BRITISH ISLES AS THE MAIN PROTAGANIST NATION. ALL CREDITS GO TO THE OG CREATOR OF SUMMONING JAPAN IN WHICH I GIVE THEM LOTS OF LOVE AND PRAISE. PS: I HOPE THEY FINISH THE GRA VALKAN ARC SOON.
