Introduction

A blurry image fills the screen in front of you with various blurs of colour moving around.

"How do I fix this!"

"Use the focus thingamajigie."

"How do I do that!"

"Here let me."

The scene in front of you blurred and shifted rapidly, then suddenly came into focus. It showed a couple of teenagers crowding around the camera. A blond haired man, with a loopy hair curl and glasses spoke up.

"Hello! Viewer!" His voice was gentle and soft. In fact you can barely hear him at all.

"We realized that there was a person who wanted to write fanfiction about us. That is us as in we are Canada! The provinces and territories and the nations!"

A girl with blue eyes, framed in wire glasses, and wavy black hair spoke up. She was wearing jeans with a jean jacket and had a silver fleur-de-lise pinned in her hair. "Oui. Now then everyone let's introduce ourselves. My name is Canada Francophone and this here is Canada Anglophone. In human years we are both 19" She pointed to the man who spoke first who smiled and waved. "I will be referred to as Francophone and he as Canada, for now. Sometimes on an international or historical scale, people will call me Quebec instead."

"Salut! I'm the actual Quebec." A blond haired boy spoke up. He was wearing a dorky blue sweater-vest with a cross on it so it resembled the Quebecois flag, especially with a gold fleur-de-lise similar to Francophone pinned over his heart "I'm the oldest, I guess. 16 in human years"

"And I am Ontario" Another blond with messy blond hair and purple eyes like Canada spoke up. He was wearing a red sweater "You are totally not the oldest. We were found at the same time! And we have the same human age."

"Calm down!" A girl with long straight blond hair in a hime-cut (think Motoko from Love Hina) and a rather large bust pushed the two arguing boys aside "I'm British Columbia. Nice to meet 'cha! I'm 15. Call me BC but not Columbia."

"You two are definitely not the oldest! If anything at least Francophone and Anglophone are older" A tall man with brown hair and eyes said. "I'm the Northwest Territories. Call me NWT or Rupert. I'm 20. This is my buddy Yukon and he's 13" A young man with short silver hair and blue eyes smiled sheepishly.

"This is Nunavut." He said almost as quietly as Canada. "She's only 2."

The little girl giggled and gave a wave at this point.

"Yeah well you aren't provinces. I mean who the hell lives up there anyways!" A scowling black haired, emerald eyes youth said. "I'm Newfoundland and this is my dog." he gestured to his Labrador Retriever "I am the oldest since I was found way before you were. I'm 18. Don't call me Newfie ya hear?"

"It seems like everyone forgot us again, eh?" Canada commented to Francophone who nodded in agreement. Nobody heard them.

"Yeah, well you were still the last to join confederation." A redhead spoke up. She had long hair and emerald eyes "I`m Nova Scotia. I'm 15"

"It wasn't my fault I got killed" Newfoundland muttered under his breath.

"Yo! I'm Prince Edward Island. You can just call me Edward or PEI." A boy looking similar to Nova Scotia spoke up however instead of a fiery red, his hair colour was more rusty. "I'm 14"

"Et je m'appelle New Brunswick." A shy blond girl with brown eyes and wavy hair said. "I'm 15"

"Age doesn't matter! What matters is what you have been doing for your country." A boy with brown hair and sunglasses said. He took them off to reveal brown eyes. "I'm Alberta! But call me Albert. I'm 15"

"Destroying our environment is certainly considered doing something for your country." Another boy shot back. This one looked more docile and had blond hair and blue eyes. "I'm Manitoba and 14 years old!"

"Hi! I'm Saskatchewan." The last person spoke up. She resembling Ukraine a lot except her lack of boobs"I lets all try our best 'kay"

"Anyways!" Canada raised his voice as the noise in the room grew louder. Everyone shut up immediately. Canada could raise his voice? "Since this is probably one of the few times we are going to be breaking the 4th wall or screen or whatever, I think we should be answering a few of the questions you probably all have."

"You are probably wondering about parings." Francophone said "No it is not a big deal. Yes Canada and I are married."

"More of a political sense than romantic." A voice from behind the camera said "Hi author here. Call me CJ"

"Yes our marriage is… complicated. We do have an open one. It does get kinda awkward when I go on a date with France though…" Canada trailed off.

"More will be explored later. Feel free to ship anyone with anyone." CJ explained "I will put some of my headcanons in here and I you will find out later. For now everyone is single in the human-dating sense."

"Alright. Why are me and NWT so old while the others are so young?"* Newfoundland said.

"Well Newfoundland here was once a dominion but then had to join confederation to survive and I was Rupert's land before so we ain't really like the others" NWT continued.

"Also I am so much older than Saskatchewannie (Don't call me that!) because I experienced rapid growth due to the oil even though we joined at the same time. Do the ages in Hetalia make sense? No not really"

"Yes. And there are there is both a French Canada and an English Canada because frankly the divide between our country is much more between English and French Canadians, who identify themselves as such and not Quebecois as they live in other areas too, that is why Canada and Francophone are a country and the rest of us are provinces and territories" Ontario said. "You will see more of French Canada in history and international affairs while Quebec and most other provinces will be most prominently featured in modern times."

"Also Maman is sooooooo much more old fashioned than I am." Quebec said "I kinda wanna leave and if I did she would probably go with me."

"Oh yeah and everyone except Newfoundland and Rupert calls us Dad and Maman" Canada said. "It will be discussed later."

"I'm gunna have to write confederation and Act of Union first to avoid confusion." CJ groaned. "I was kinda looking forward to the Treaty of Paris and WWI"

"Suck it up! By the way, human names aren't going to crop up with provinces and territories but it will be used a bit in the colonial era, probably only one or two chapters, for Claire, that is Francophone, and I" Canada said. "Oh and Alfred"

"Speaking of naming, what did you mean by your different names, Maman?" New Brunswick asked.

"More will be explained later!" Francophone shouted "This intro is getting too long as it is. Lastly what is the nature of this fic?"

"It will be like Hetalia." BC said simply "A series of drabbles and oneshots pertaining to current events and history."

"One major difference is that a lot of them are serious" PEI went on. "Another is that there wont be any romance although if this were a real show, shippers would be going crazy with Canada and Francophone."

"One more thing you have to mention…" Manitoba singsonged.

"Oh yeah technical things. Almost all of my chapters will have been written using either How to be a Canadian (Even if you already are one) or Canadian History for Dummies, both highly biased and satirical books by Will Ferguson." The author said "Any additional sources will be mentioned at the bottom. At the top I will mention rating, warnings, genres ect."

"And that is it?" Albert raised an eyebrow.

"That is it for the pilot! If anyone has anymore questions please review or PM me." The author said "If I have too many questions I will probably host another 4th wall breaking chapter."

"Ok. Hey Canada how do you turn this thing off?"

"Press the button on the top"

"You mean this one?"

"No not that-"
