Author's Note- I got into a discussion with my one of my international friends about daylight savings time and this idea popped into my head. It was so funny I could help but write it. But before we get there thanks to Daffodil Moon and mofalle for leaving reviews.

America woke up in a bad mood. He knew exactly why he was cranky. Daylight savings time had come again and now his nation had to wake up an hour early. Which meant that the entire country had the symptoms of mild jet lag, and like most travelers the sensation made the majority of the country, and thus the nation himself, crabby.
Yawning, America opened up his iPad and checked the clock again as he rode the elevator up to third floor meeting room. He probably should have taken the stairs, but he was just so tired. He knew that Daylight Savings was a really valuable program. It maximized daylight in the evening which encouraged people working 9 to 5 to spend more time outside. The extra evening sunlight stimulated the economy by encouraging people to go out shopping. It made the nation healthier by encouraging sport. The program also decreased the number of accidents on the roads and cut down on the nation's electricity usage. Daylight Savings Time was valuable, but it was hard to convince himself of that the first week of the switch.
Well exhaustion was a sign of weakness and America was not going to show any weakness. After all, the world expected him to be the Hero and find a solution to the current Crimea crisis. Holding his head up high he walked into the room and slammed his brief case on the table in order to get the rooms attention. Once all of his allied nations where finally looking at him he stared to speak.
"Okay, let's take about what types of sanctions we should file against Russia for breaking his treating and invading Ukraine because if we don't find a satisfying solution I swear I will increase my domestic production and strong arm OPEC and Canada to increase theirs as well."
"But that would…" Iceland started to mutter.
"That would crash international oil prices right out from under that bloody communist."
"Russia isn't communist any more…" Canada tried to interject.
"At this point I really don't care." America spat back. "Ivan is once again functioning under Cold War policies, but two can play at that game. The thing is he never really fully recovered from the fall of the Soviet Union in the late 80's and he isn't ready to play in the big leagues yet. The only way we can keep him from continuing to eye his neighbors as potential additions to his empire is to prove to him that we have the power to force him to back down. Right now, we can't really do that with bombs, planes, and troops, but we can defiantly do it with the power of the all mighty dollar…"
As America continued to talk, the rest of the world's stared at him in shock. After being lectured on finer points of Russia's economic systems and how the rest of the world could most effectively develop painful sanctions for 45 minutes, a few of the allies were starting to get a bit concerned about their self proclaimed leader.
"What is wrong with America-san?" Japan whispered quietly during one of the more vigorous rants.
"Daylight savings." England muttered into his tea. He really don't
"What are we going to do about it?" France asked nervously.
"Don't worry I will take care of it." England sighed then stood up to get the North America's attention. "America?"
"What?" The Superpower stopped his monolog and glared at him.
"Go take a nap."
After an hour nap and a few hamburgers later everyone was relieved that the normally bubbly America was back. Unfortunately, his ideas about the Crimea crisis weren't particularly helpful.
"So, we should totally build an awesome giant robot to protect Ukraine and we can totally make a summer block buster movie about it…"
End Note- Don't forget to change the clocks.
