World War III

One day, France had been changed beyond recognition, and a few months later, this had led to a lot of changes that none of the other nations could have foreseen. America had become a completely different person, he had closed the Guantanamo prison and authored a written appology to Afghanistan and Iraq, which he had sent before the eyes of his boss and his people who had not understood anything. Italy had demonstrated both courage, intelligence and a selflessness that was very unlike him in order to save Romano. Latvia and Russia had sought each others' help and become friends. Turkey and Greece had become allies. Atomic bombs had been feld over Japan, Taiwan, Ukraine and on Flying Mint Bunny. Sealand had been recognized as a nation and Belarus had adopted a rat as a pet and only friend. She had even written to her brother to tell him that she didn't want to marry him anymore. But more of that later, right now I think it's better if we start from ...

The beginning...

It all began one day when France was bored and wanted something to do, it ended with everyone hated him.

"Been there, done that" France sighed from where he stood on his balcony, he leaned against the railing and watched people pass on the street below him. Everyone seemed to have a goal, something to live for, a challenge. France didn't have anything like that, he realized when he turned his gaze towards the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower had been a symbol of his country for quite some time now, that was what people had in mind when he came up. And according to France this was so ... yesterday. He needed a new challenge, he needed to move forward. The problem was where he would find inspiration.

When France turned around to go inside he suddenly heard how a child started crying, he went back out onto the balcony to see what was going on.

In the park below, he saw a little girl who looked up in a tree. France curiously looked at the situation, wondering what had happened, he would intervene.

Then he saw a person he knew. Ivan Braginsky walked up to the girl, bent down to her level and talked to her. Then also Ivan looked up at the tree. France watched the scene while Russia climbed the tree. He climbed fairly high before he finally jumped down with a black kitten that France had not seen, in his arms.

The girl stopped crying and happily took the kitten from Russia, then her parents came running. France watched as the girl told them what happened, and while they all three thanked Russia for what he had done.

France went in, he sighed. Even Russia had one goal, to find someone who liked him, and after what France had just seen this didn't seem entirely impossible. However, what was, or at least seemed impossible, was that he would find a challenge that he hadn't tried before.

He was still thinking about it when he went to bed that night, he even dreamed about different opportunities during the hours he slept.

And the next morning ... he had found something... Now all he needed to do was to put the plan into action - and he started at once.
