Summary: Congratulations are in order good sir or ma'am! You are currently taking government class with 'Merica! :D
Warnings: None that I can think outside of possible, political views.

It was yet another day of classes again as America walked into the room. Humming happily as he did so before taking a look at his "class". It warmed his heart to see so many people taking an interest in American....okay not just American, it's just government. But still, how could you talk about government without talking about American government! The answer is that you most certain can not! In fact it would almost be a complete atrocity to do so. Well an atrocity in his way of thinking. Not that such things mattered here, he was here to teach them about how different governments were ran after all. So that was exactly what the nation would do.

"Okay dudes! Today we're gonna look at how communism, like the Soviets-" Assholes. "-had! And why it sucked and didn't work!" Of course that wasn't going to be the only thing they would be looking at. But it was a good start, right?>Just what could go wrong?

This is what could go wrong: you could have the fanciest French fuck to have ever graced the planet waltzing into your classroom like he owns the place.

And then pausing. And looking around. "Aaah, perhaps I am in the wrong room?" said France. His eyes flicked over to America, lips pulling at the corners as he came to the conclusion that yes, this was indeed Amérique. Not some strange girl version of him that he was unfamiliar with, though, not that he was complaining!

"I am looking for the philosophy classroom, perhaps you would be so kind as to help me, mon ami?" asked France. It was pretty clear he was delighted to see the young nation, though he wouldn't be so quick to admit to it aloud.

You! When did you get here?! America was going to stare at him as he walked into the classroom. So he was going to try and interrupt him was he? Well Alfred wasn't going to let that stand!

"Haha! Later France! I've gotta teach my class on-" why communisim sucks monkey-balls, and why his Republic is awesome- "Government!"

"What is communism? It sounds like it'd just mean living in a commune," Lemina speaks up from where she's sitting.

"It's where the state owns everything you own. So if you have two milk cows then the government owns both the cows and you." Which to him always sounded a lot like facism, though apparently it isn't.

Lemina tilts her head in confusion. "Wow, that sounds mega uncool."

"It was." He nods sagely. It really was uncool and no one ever seemed to speak up against it. Of course that was why he was around. After all America is the hero. So it was his job to save all of those poor nations who had been caught in Communism's twisted grasp.

[Yuki attentively takes notes during class, this is one of the few classes that could actually help further her education, if America takes it seriously enough that is.]

[Of course he's taking it seriously! What do you think he's doing right now? He's just taking it seriously in his own, special, way.]

So, who can tell me what the difference between Communism and Fascism is? [Not that he really thinks there's a difference considering they are both totalitarian styles of government.]

[she flips through her notes]

Wait, did we talk about Fascism yet?

I went over it once or twice. [More like skimmed through it, figuring that they probably already knew most of the basics, so he could hold off on that until they reach a more in depth description of it.]

Oh! Here it is! [and then pretend she explained the difference between the two]

Haha! Good job kiddo! [And there was praise, and it was good.]

Feferi's interest in human society meant she was going to every class that taught history or government. So she'd been taking attentive notes.

She flipped through the textbook, skimming the section, then raised her hand. "I have a question. I understand that the leaders of Communist countries oppressed freedom of speech and religion, and that's a bad thing. But is there a reason why the idea of everyone getting things according to need and contributing as much as possible is intrinsically bad?"

"The idea isn't bad. It's just what they did, that makes the government bad." Though no one could really say to have a completely Comunist government. Only Socialist, and that was because the government would have been able to have control over almost everything.

Why was this man allowed to teach? Suzaku frowned as he read through the textbook, largely ignoring what America was saying. The man was nice enough but he confused Suzaku and his lessons were strange.

But... he didn't understand this system, they had nothing like it where he came from, it sounded so strange...

He raised his hand, "Who were the Soviets?"

"..." Really Suzu? Really? America's just going to give you a look. Well more like THAT look. The one that just screams, are you serious? He has access to a government book and a guy who just so happens to be the spirit of a nation, teaching you government.

"The Soviets were a bunch of Communist, Socialist bad guys that wanted to make everyone like them."

"So they were an empire?" Communist? Socialist? He doesn't understand these words! This book on governments was difficult as well, since the world it is speaking about it very different than Suzaku's own.

"No, I just told ya what they were." Is it really that difficult to understand? The nation was fairly certain that it wasn't.

Yes it was. When you had nothing to go from. "You said they wanted to make everyone like them... was this by invading others?"

He wondered if he could skip this class in future, but then again, he felt like this about most his classes.

"Kind of. They use their influence to try and force their governments and people to become like them." America didn't think it was that hard to understand. Then again everything that he was saying was already common knowledge back home, even if some people refused to believe it.

"But they don't invade others?" That... didn't sound too bad, after all influence could be ignored.

"No, they still invaded a bunch of people." Of course Al eventually rescued them. It was a part of his job as the hero to help everyone combat the red menace, after all. But now a days him and Russia just kind of chill around with eachother.

"So they where an empire?" Suzaku blinked. If they were an empire and were invading others then Suzaku agreed that they should be stopped.

[This face forever. Do you dare approach?]

[He's going to keep going on with the lecture. You're not going to be any less confused until you actually ask question~]

[Cirno finally has enough and calls out</>]

What are you talking about?

What? Haven't ya been paying any attention? [He fixes her with a look.]

[She shrugs]

Kinda but with all those big words you keep saying, I don't get it!
