Hey and welcome to my new multichapter story. The latest one is not finished yet but I would like to present this one to see if anybody is interested on reading this.

This focus on Iceland, though later on Denmark and Norway will be joning in. I was thinking about making a own multichapter about Iceland because he just needs more show time and then I ended up with this idea. I sent him to University. I actually picked up Copenhagen only because I needed a city that A. is familiar enough for me so I can write about it B. there is some kind of logical reason why Iceland would go to study there. C. chance to have some Denmark - Norway - Iceland family time.

There will be some minor oc:s as Iceland needs study mates and teachers. However, those are all only mentioned and not based on any real persons. The focus will be in the nations and this is not meant to be AU. Actually I'm pretty sure we will not even see Iceland in the class so often because he will be too busy with trying to keep this all secret. There will be some light DenNor but it's not the main thing for now.

But yeah, I hope you will like this!


Prologue: Higher command

"You want me to do what?" Iceland asked and he was so sure that he had misheard or it was just a joke, but still the person speaking to him looked dead serious. He was even glaring at the nation to make the situation even more serious than it was supposed to be. Iceland sighed and hoped that he would have stayed at home today like his puffin had said he should.

"We want you to go to university", the human repeated to the shocked nation. Iceland stared at him, his boss, who was already used for his nation's habits and simply stared back. They could have continued this staring contest forever, but there was lot of other things to do so it was better to get over it.

"But I don't need to", Iceland said and crossed his arms, "I'm already fully educated and I know lot of things."

"We have indeed checked your educational background", the human said sternly to show the nation that the decision was final and it didn't matter what the Icelander said, "and though you went through the normal schooling at the beginning of the 20th century, you never applied to a university."

"But I'm a nation", Iceland tried to argue, "we are not really following the human trends."

"Concept of universities is centuries old", the boss noted, "this is hardly a 'human trend' as you put it."

"I don't need to…"

"You have to", the human continued, "you are an important part of this country and every one working with such great tasks should have a high enough education."

"But…"

"The teaching given you by your brother is not enough", he told the nation, "the world had changed and whatever he taught you hundred years ago, it's not valid anymore. You need more education."

"Dan was helping too", Iceland muttered and crossed his arms, but he didn't fight because he knew it would be useless. His boss had already decided.

"You are going to apply now and start at next autumn", the human said, "I have spoken with the people in your destination country and the university so everything is taken care for. They have agreed to let you choose which ever study you want to complete and you will be selected automatically without valuation."

"Wait a moment", Iceland said and raised his hand, "the destination country? Can't I do this at home? Like, isn't everything possible to do online nowadays? I heard some people learn brain surgery from youtube videos." He felt a slightly betrayed because it sounded like his boss had been organizing this all behind his back and even made some other people to agree with the plan before asking the nation itself. Or well, he wasn't really asking. He was demanding.

"No", the human replied and sighed, "we have been talking about this a lot and after a long debate we agreed that it's best to get you out from the country. It would have been suitable to enrol you to University of Iceland but it was noted that your work would affect your studies too much and so you should leave the country in order to focus on the university. Also, people say that living abroad is good for everybody, and naturally we hope the best for you." Iceland wondered who all had been involved in this treachery and if it would be too childish to get a revenge.

"I have lived abroad almost all my life", Iceland complained, "to which country I have to go now?" It had probably been his whole government and half of the population involved. They were all against of him, Iceland thought, it was so hard to find some loyal citizens nowadays.

"You know him well", his boss said and for sure Iceland didn't like that. That kind of things always meant problems or at least very irritating headache for him.

"Don't tell me…"

"Denmark", his boss continued without caring about his nation's feelings, "you will pick up a study program from University of Copenhagen and move to Denmark next autumn. You should inform us about your choice before next Friday."

"What if…?"

"If you don't pick up something, we will", the boss said and that was the moment when Iceland gave up. Apparently his country was only fair and democratic when it came to people. Nobody cared about what the nation himself wanted. So, he was going to study and move to Denmark's land. He wasn't really excited.

"Damn it", Iceland muttered and he knew that he could never let his family know about this. He didn't know exactly how but somehow he was going to survive the whole program, keep it secret and also do his job. Iceland sighed and thanked his luck about the fact that Denmark never noticed anything. It shouldn't be too hard to keep a small secret from him.


It was horrible short start but later on the chapters will be longer. I'm planning 3-5 chapters for this. Any comments? Would you like to read this?
