Ok, so I've seen quite a few of these stories floating around, and I thought that for my first fanfic I would write one. It will probably suck, and updates will be sporadic, but I'll do my best to update once a week.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hetalia. If I did, the storyline would be a lot darker and have more angst. So it's probably better that I don't own it.

Pairings: PruCan, USUK, Spamano, GerIta, SuFin, and a maybe few more. It all depends on how this story goes.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm from Texas, so I only have a lot of knowledge of the Southern states. And by that I mean slang, sports teams, customs, food, and all that ish. So I apologize if I screw up your state too badly, all you folks that live in America.

Now, on to the story! ~

Prologue

Contrary to popular belief, America is pretty smart. And agreeing with popular belief, he is very prideful. But the object of his pride isn't his Revolution, or his fast food, no it was nothing like that.

It's his children.

Yep, America has children.

Children. As in, more than one. These children are often known as the United States. Or the not-so-United-States, if you remember the Civil War. God, that really sucked.

From mature Delaware, to the wild Texases (Plural), to his little/big Hawaiis (Also plural)*, he loved them all. Not to mention his territories, who took the forms of young toddlers. Adorable. But whatever. Back onto the topic. What was I saying? Oh yeah.

No other nations needed to know about his states. Well, okay, some did. Those few being Canada, Mexico (They were his neighbors; it would be impossible to keep this secret from them! Plus, Canada has his kids too, and Mexico used to have Old Texas.*), Prussia (He trained them in the American Revolution*! He had to know!), Lithuania, Belarus (They did live with America for a while*), and Russia (Only because of the fact that the commie sold him the Alaskas*. (Plural)*).

And yes, the ex-nations that hung around his house, i.e. Native America, the Hawaiian Kingdom and The Confederate States of America, knew about his states as well. But they live with them, so they don't really count*. And, well, yes, there were the micro nations that lived with him, like Molossia, Conch Republic, etc., and his old territories, and they knew as well. And well, the capitals.* But other than that, the world didn't need to know.

Well, to be honest, America never kept them a secret per se… He just never revealed them. But whatever, it really didn't matter. And now, all of a sudden, his boss wants him to reveal the states to the nations. Which was something he really didn't want to do, considering it would be really awkward. Awkward because of the fact that due to influence from other countries, they all had at least one other parent and many had two or three other parents. So, as certain states had certain parents, it would probably be super uncomfortable.

Also, many of his states had grudges. The 13 disliked England; some of the Louisiana Territory held a grudge against France; there were states that were victims of terrorists (Either they wanted to kill the country that did it to them, or their siblings did); there was the whole Pearl Harbor ordeal; and Indiana hated Russia with a burning passion*. All of these things added together pretty much added into do not let the states and countries meet.

But it didn't seem like he had a choice in the matter.

Nations, get ready.

It's time for an American family reunion.

Ok, so *s either mean 'To be revealed later' or 'to be explained at the bottom'

1: To be explained later

2: Canada has his provinces, and Mexico used to own Texas before the Texas Revolution

3: Prussia did help America in his revolution directly, not indirectly like France did. France never set foot on American soil during the Revolution as far as I know. He still comes over for dinner about once every month

4: I believe Lithuania and America had diplomatic relations in the 1920s, so Lithuania lived with America during that time. He still comes over for dinner very often. Belarus also had relations with America after the Cold War, so she lived with him during that time. The states are very fond of her.

5: Russia did sell Alaska to America in the 1860s. He wanted to make sure Alaska was taken care of, so America told him about his states. Russia still comes over for dinner from time to time.

6: To be explained later

7: To be explained later

8: To be explained later

9: The Original 13 fought England during the Revolution, France sold the Louisiana Territory to America, the states that were subjected to attacks still have scars, the Pearl Harbor will be explained in detail later, but basically Japan launched a surprise attack on a military base in Hawaii in World War Two, and Russia aimed a nuke at Indiana during the Cold War, so as the states are personified, and were injured/sold during these events, I think they would hold grudges
