This is just a quick temporary (possibly multi-chapter) fanfic. I still don't know if I want to make this a serious or funny story, so I guess it all depends on you, the reader, or my mood when I'm writing it. I suppose I can make it either ways. I like making humor but I wonder if I can actually write angst and seriousness. Thanks for reading.
Awareness
Enough was enough and today was the day.
Canada barged into the World Summit Meeting with a determined look. Ten other nations lined up behind him on both sides. Resolution and genuine persistence were painted on the faces of the solemn countries releasing a heavy, almost intimidating aura.
The baffled countries dropped their trivial affairs and turned to look back at their foreboding company at once. Each prepared themselves for devastating news, like an overwhelming earthquake injuring one of their fellow nations, or a sudden terrorist attack on one of the world's biggest cities, or perhaps a sudden scientific discovery that the world was surely going to end in a few days' time. They all fixed their eyes on the leader of the grave party.
In return the Canadian looked intently back at them with his steely violet eyes. His mouth was set in a hard, grim line, unsmiling. He cleared his throat before speaking in his loudest voice.
"We have all come to make a very important announcement."
A string of countries cringed in displeasure fearing for the worse. The tone in Canada's voice was nonetheless chilling. They had never seen, that is, they had never bothered to notice the North American nation before. Most assumed that he was irrelevant to be involved in their world matters. The statement was also true for the figures lined up behind the nation. Nevertheless they leaned onto the edge of their seats to hear out the Canadian.
"It has been known throughout the years of humankind that some of us countries have been blandly unacknowledged and outright unappreciated by the superpowers, as well as the formal countries that sit in this very room. Whether it is from being unrecognized as a true nation by their surrounding peers or simply shunned away from global verdicts, my colleagues and I deem it all unjust. Therefore, the following nations will be severing their international ties and relations with the global union of nations. From this day forth, we will officially be the United Awareness Correlations."
A long silence filled the room. Inquiring whispers and mumbles followed soon after. This continued on until one of the countries let out a suppressed giggle, then a wave of laughter erupted from the stuffy conference room. Every nation in the continent was laughing their heads off at the Canadian's far-fetched declaration. The lot of course, included America, England, Russia, China, and even Italy.
After a lot of patience and jeers, England was the first to try and contain himself. With a lopsided grin, he addressed Canada.
"Well is that so? I surely hope you don't mind but we, influential countries, have a very important meeting to get back to. Err…what is your real business here?"
"Yeah, bro! We're like talking about global matters here and you, like, just burst in here with a jacked up joke. What's the deal, dude?"
"Don't be laughing at us you big oaf! Why do you all have to be so mean?" Sealand shouted from the group.
Canada shot him a silencing glare that made the micro-nation immediately catch hold of his tongue. Sealand receded back to the others and looked patiently at the ground.
Canada turned back to England with a calm, composed face. The laughter subsided quite quickly and the room was once again hushed. He cleared his throat and pulled out a stack of documents from his suit. With a thwack, the papers landed and slid across the table to America and England. Both looked at the files inquisitively. In the very first page was the heading:
Secession from the International Union
"We weren't kidding Mister America. We are all tired and done with you. All of you, in fact. And to show that I am serious, Canada is closing off all international communication and trade with America. I am closing the border."
Canada flicked his eyes dangerously at America and marched smugly out the door. Ten others followed in suit, never once looking back at their former family members. Their footsteps echoed in the large hall becoming fainter with each footfall.
The countries of the world silently gathered to look at the Canadian's reminder. The very last page contained scrawled signatures of the eleven withdrawed nations. In bright red ink were the names:
Prussia
Cuba
Hong Kong
Australia
Liechtenstein
South Italy
Seychelles
Latvia
Lithuania
Sealand
Canada
Author Notes:
1. I'm sorry about Canada's group's official name. It sounds pretty stupid now that I look at it, but I couldn't think of anything else.
2. I don't mean to imply that the eleven countries are useless in any way. They just seemed like the ones (I thought) would be fit for the story's complications. Go Team Canada!
