Blah blah blah, I do not own Hetalia, Papa Hima does. Anyway, here are some interesting facts about the various countries of the world, along with little drabbles for your entertainment!
Fact: There is a road in Wolverhampton, England called Hardon Road.
Britain quickly pulled his ringing cell phone out of his pocket and brought it to his ear.
"Hello?"
"HEY IGGY!"
Britain flinched upon hearing the ridiculous nickname. Irritated, he asked, "What is it, America?"
America, who had his cell phone pressed in between his neck and shoulder, was trying to drive with one hand (made even more difficult by the fact the he had not yet mastered driving on the left side of the road instead of the right) as he sipped some coffee. "Uhh…how do you get to your house from the airport? I think I'm lost."
Britain sighed, slightly exasperated, "Okay, you git, what road are you on?"
"Uh, I'm near the end of Cherry Valley Road."
"Okay, turn onto Hardon."
*Chokes* "WHAT!?"
Fact: The national anthem of Greece has 158 verses.
"Ciao, Japan! Ciao, Greece!" Italy called out.
Japan looked up from his position sitting in the grass next to Greece, "Oh, konnichiwa, Itary-kun."
Italy sat down on the ground next to Japan. He looked over, at Greece, slightly confused. "Hey, Japan, what's Greece singing?"
"I shall always recognize you
by the dreadful sword you hold
as the Earth with searching vision
you survey with spirit bold"
"I am pretty sure that is his national anthem," Japan explained.
"Oh," Italy said. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Italy spoke up again, "This is a really long national anthem."
"From the Greeks of old whose dying
brought to life and spirit free
now with ancient valour rising
let us hail you, oh Liberty!"
Japan turned to Italy, "He has been doing this for past half hour."
Fact: Lithuania gets about 80% of its electricity from nuclear power.
Poland was busily painting his nails a lovely shade of pink and watching a show on MTV when all of a sudden – darkness.
It took him a second to realize what happened, "LIET, THE POWER JUST, LIKE, TOTALLY WENT OUT!"
Lithuania entered the room, holding a flashlight, "Oh, no problem, hold on a second."
Lithuania walked over to where his bag was and unzipped it. He put on a rubber glove and removed a glowing, green rod.
"Okay, now I just need to-"
"WHAT IS THAT!?"
Fact: In Japan, the ratio of vending machines to people is 1 to 20. Things that vending machines there sell include: Rice, pornography, cell phone recharges, toilet paper, liquor, pet rhinoceros beetles, and, of course, the infamous used schoolgirl panties.
"Big Brother France, C'mon!"
"Itary-kun, we are in public! Use our human names!"
Italy had finally convinced his older brother to visit Japan's house. France, finding Japan's culture to be a bit odd, had politely declined previous offers, but this time, after much begging from Italy, he decided he'd spend a few days there. They were walking through the streets of Tokyo and France had to admit, the culture wasn't as weird as America had told him it was.
There was one thing strange that he had noticed, however.
Vending machines. Everywhere. On pretty much every street corner.
"Kiku, what is with all of these vending machines?" France stopped at one to view the odd contents. Rice? Who would sell rice in a vending machine, he thought.
"We sell all kinds of things in vending machines here," said Japan.
"Hey Ja- I mean, Kiku! What's with these!?" Italy shouted, pointing to another vending machine. Japan blushed. A few people passing by on the street snickered.
"Oh, uh," Japan was visibly embarrassed, "Th-those are u-used panties."
France sped over to the machine where Italy was standing and peered into the glass.
"HONHONHONHONHON!" *Rape face*
"Ah! Japan! He's scaring me!"
Fact: The Vietnamese unit of currency is the dong.
"It was very nice of you to invite me over to your house, aru~!" China said.
"You are welcome, Mr. China. I am very grateful for your efforts to help my economy," replied Vietnam, "I am sorry that I must drag you along for my grocery shopping, though."
"Oh, it's no problem, aru." China waved his hand, dismissing her, "Go finish up you shopping."
China waited, sitting on a bench, as Vietnam went to purchase food from a vendor across the street. She was preparing dinner for the meeting between her, China, and their respective bosses.
Vietnam, realizing that she didn't have quite enough money in her purse to make her purchase, quickly crossed the street back to where China was.
"Mr. China!"
"Yes, aru?"
"Do you have an extra dong?" she asked.
China's eyes went wide, "D-do I have an extra w-what, aru?"
"Do you have a dong or two?' She was confused by China's odd reaction.
China wasn't quite sure how to respond, "U-uh, no, I just have one."
"Oh, well can I use it?"
China's face went pale.
"WHAT!?"
Fact: There is a town in Norway called Hell (as is there in Michigan and most likely other places, but as an example let's use Norway)
"C'mon, Iceland, call Norway 'Big Brother'!" Finland pleaded a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, and you can call us Big Brother, too!" Denmark jeered.
The Nordics were once again teasing Iceland, trying to get him to call Norway "Big Brother". Iceland didn't seem like he was going to budge, though.
"No. I'm a grown man."
"Pleeeeeease!"
"Please?"
"Please?"
"Please?"
Iceland's expression became increasingly more irritated. Norway also seemed to be getting tired of seeing his younger brother refuse to call him "Big Brother" like he had always promised he would if they turned out to be brothers. He decided it was time that he just went home.
He stood up, walked across the room, and opened up the front door.
Denmark stopped laughing at Iceland long enough to notice Norway leaving, "Hey, Norway, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Hell," Norway responded, before leaving, shutting the door behind him.
Denmark stared at the door in horror before looking at Iceland, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO NORWAY!?"
Okay, everyone! That's it for now! To be continued….maybe.
