Canada found it amusing that he and his brother would often hide out among their people to try and get their standards up to what the other Nations had considered appropriate. They worked in different fields that would make other Nations look at them like they were crazy.
1. Education
Canada did this this more often then America. It wasn't that he was a better teacher, he could tolerate things better. He usually taught at primary schools while America specialized in high schools and universities since he had a wider range of knowledge and could teach anything.
Except for certain class; especially after America had spent an entire semester trying to teach students World History without breaking a globe over their skulls when they kept claiming that Europe was just a 'big ass' country and England was one of it's states. America actually considered invited the Allies and the Axis to his class to set the record straight.
But if one more kid had asked him if Iraq was in Antarctica he was going to loose it.
2. Law Enforcement
While Canada worked primary with the Mounted Patrols; America hopped around his various investigative branches to help improve the changes his boss was making. Those poor scumbags had no chance. Especially after his Russian Mafia side decided to surface when the Irish mafia kidnapped what they thought was a normal FBI agent…Those poor bastards surrendered immediately when the SWAT team arrived.
Whatever happened prevented Ireland from ever being able to look at him without crying or try to use England as a meat shield.
3. Medical Field
Who knows what they were thinking doing this. Being doctors, okay that was risky, but they pulled it off. Canada had just finished a year long job as a pediatrician in Quebec and as an on call surgeon. He still remembered all the lives he helped deliver into the world and those who he helped give a second chance at life.
4. Emergency Response
This is were America went during 9/11. Despite having a bleeding gut just barely held closed by some string he took from Lichtenstein; he ran to join his fellow Fire Fighters at the World Trade Center. All Canada and the others could do was watch in frozen stillness as he and his team risked their lives running into the buildings to save as many as they could before the towers collapse, pausing only to get a fresh oxygen tank.
Even then America did not stop trying to help those who were buried alive, even those already gone, until Vinland showed up out of nowhere and to everyone's shock; she showed emotions as she consoled her little brother when he broke down crying for all those he could not reach and the others who died at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. He cried for their families, and loved ones.
Yup the Twins were odd balls. But then again, that is what made them so unique.
