Nivadura is about to get the baby turtle treatment.
North Korea's base has a lot of nations and they should be very bored. Time for a world meeting, what could possibly go wrong?

Lebanon could also have 2 or 3 representatives, as it has distinct Christian, Sunni Muslim, and Shiite Muslim communities. But I guess it is a bit late for that.
*Looks at Amodi nations* DON'T! If you want to meet your lovers again, do so in the afterlife. Haven't you confirmed it is torture for the undead as well?

Wow that was unexpected! Hopefully Lebanon has more bullets
Turkey seems to be pissing Amodi nations off with a rate only America could match lol

Oh no! Things are happening so fast.
White South Africa should definitely come back, she has a free kill. Israel certainly wouldn't mind...
At least they could be together when everything is over

wow, what a rollercoaster ride of a fic this has been! I genuinely don't think anything could have prepared me for that ending... I guess total nuclear destruction wasn't something I thought even Amodi would have been willing to do, but I suppose given the circumstances of Poland's death and Panarus' rampage, I can see how Italy's brain would have circled around to 'I'm leaving but I'm taking the entire world with me.'
Panarus really ended up causing such a ruckus at the end, huh. Through various loopholes I would say Panarus ended up causing WAY more grief for the Amodi nations than the non-Amodi nations, despite Canada's assurance that his allies would remain mostly safe while Quebec's body lasted. It pains me so much though that Panarus completely wipes a being's existence from the universe when he kills them; despite my intense disapproval of Amodi, even they don't deserve to be separated from their loved ones for all eternity, nevermind the non-Amodi and otherwise 'innocent/neutral' nations.
It does make me all wonder how the war would have played out had Panarus not been released. The resistance/non-Amodi nations were certainly faring far worse than Amodi all throughout the fic, but we did get confirmation that had Panarus not interfered, Italy *would* have been shot by Lebanon during the battle in China. I imagine the nuclear strikes were the result of Italy losing not only Poland but his entire family at the hands of Panarus, not to mention the extremely quick succession of deaths and chaos in his organization due again to Panarus. If Poland had lost Italy without the despair caused by all that followed Panarus' release, would he have gone for the nuclear strikes also?
But in the end, it's all water under the bridge because that's not what actually happened.
I really liked the final exploration of the bonds towards the end of the fic, too. Gotta give Panarus credit for figuring out a way to cause pain and suffering to literally *every* nation in the world. I'd forgotten that all the nations actively fighting against Amodi had developed their own, albeit weak, bonds as mentioned by France before Amodi's assault in China. That Serbia would suffer, distributing his pain to the rest of the group, was so clever. And obviously Portugal was connected to the prisoners at Amodi's base. Typing this out just now, I also realized that while nations were dying as a result of the nuclear strikes, everyone else was probably feeling those ramifications also. Panarus got what he wanted in the end; thank god he was finally sealed away though!
The more I think about it, the more this ending makes sense to me. Despite all the death and destruction, sometimes a system is so broken or a fight so irreconcilable that the only way to move forward without completely crushing the other side is to break everything down and start anew. The epilogue, despite my sadness about all the nations who died, is very hopeful. And I'm glad it ended on that note!
Anyways, this fic has been a wonderful journey and I'm glad I finally got back to it. I very much enjoyed reading it - thanks for writing and sharing!

this entire chapter read like a horror movie ;-;
vilnius playing in the woods and seeing an intruder and the intruder raising a finger to her lips, bulgaria alone in the storeroom suddenly realizing that he isn't actually alone, vatican watching what should have been a mundane scene from a security camera, only to see a stranger who looks at him right through the screen with eyes of pure hatred and san marino suddenly realizing that someone is hovering right behind them... kudos on the suspense in this chapter for real i was SHOOK.
(as a side note, while the amodi and non-amodi nations do not interact in the afterlife, do the amodi nations interact with each other? bc canada... my dude... bro truly done fucked up lmfao. didn't even stick around to see the fruits of his labor, just left a mess and peaced out, truly iconic behavior. if any more amodi nations die, I wonder if any of them will be going straight for canada's head lol)
anyways, even though it was just mentioned, I'd already forgotten about the spell cast over the prisoners in North Korea's base. The way I felt my entire face pale when Bulgaria started bleeding out... I also wonder why Baltia went after Russia, since it was Belarus and Finland who killed the previous nation representations. Time will tell...

I'M SCREAMING!? YOU-! AFSDAFSADSD
the moment i saw how happy wales and the children were i started to get a bad feeling and then the prophecy dropped and wales was the next pov and i was like OH F-
so anyways this is the worst.
(are all of laos' visions doomed to come to fruition? bc if so then wales and the children never stood a chance...)
italy and poland are going to be so mad. panarus has truly turned into the big bad, huh. I wonder what he's planning... it sounds like he has some way of manifesting the souls into a supernatural, possibly physical being to unleash onto the nations. a being birthed from blood and betrayal definitely doesn't sound good :(
looks like panarus found that loophole in his promise to canada

*walks in 6 years late with starbucks*: yo what i miss
in all seriousness though I always meant to come back to this ahahah. at the time, life got busy and then i fell out of the fandom (or so i thought...). turns out, you never really escape hetalia bc about a week ago i decided to pick up a history book on wwi and then all of a sudden the part of me that likes hetalia clawed its way out of its grave and dragged me back into hell, so here i am lmao
(i figured if now wasn't the time to finally finish this fic, it was never going to be the time lol)
in any case, been rereading this to refresh my memory and all this time later i'm still super impressed with the plethora of themes you explore in this. I love a good 'are we humans' type hetalia fic because there is just SO MUCH there just from just a philosophical standpoint, nevermind the complexities of the hetalia in-universe logic and world-building. amodi has made the argument that they're simply seeking revenge against nations that have hurt them of their own volition (vs following their governments' orders), but it's been hard for me to delineate that blurry line, because what is free will when you're bound by your people's thoughts, emotions, and ambitions? There was a line at some point about how nations influence their people, but their people influence the nations in turn. At that point, who is accountable? Which I think is the crux of the issue here.
But philosophy aside, I gotta say, 6 years later and I still think amodi is made up of complete psychopaths lol. (revenge against perpetrators is one thing, but genocide and other war crimes against completely uninvolved nations? yikes!)
anyways! I remember I left off about halfway through the battle at China's village and bro... I knew there would be casualties but White South Africa was too much! If there was one couple I thought was going to get their happily ever after it was White and Brazil :( (I really did not see that one coming at all!). Switzerland was also a surprise - he seemed like a key player to me. And ahhh, Netherlands was captured... I wonder how that will play out since amodi's been trying to capture him for a while. (It's always struck me as interesting how amodi's been so open about their plans for Portugal and Netherlands; personally I'd be resentful of an outside force (esp one that has less than stellar intentions) attempting to set me up with someone, even if I already like them, but I guess I'll find out how that plot point resolves itself soon enough!).
I always thought the shattered mirror would be a reference to Romano's death, so feeling pleased I guessed that one right, but oh boyy. I wonder how Panarus was able to ensure that Lebanon shot Romano instead of Italy. Do his powers to inflict chaos and destruction allow him to bend the rules of physics or break other rules so long as it yields destruction? it's starting to look like he can do just about anything, in which case the nations (all of them) really have their work cut out for them.
anyways I'm back in hetalia hell and looking forward to finally finishing this story!

Word at the start, this will get long lol
Kinda late to the party (it's 2023 god dammit) but I just need to let out my thought and most of them simply say: WOW
This, honestly, was one of the best (if not *the* best) hetalia fic I've ever read (and there was a lot of them)
I spent over a week reading this and due to experience, I always say, the longer I read, the better it is and over a week is longer than I ever spent on any book (fic or physical, the only exception being Journey to the West)
I ESPECIALLY loves how every chapter invidually surprised me with something, I even commented to my friend who also plans to read it that "if you think something bad happened, there's always another chapter where it's worse" lmao (it's of course meant positively)
Another thing that I loved, I'm not a very shipping person and I mostly read stuff that doesn't include ships or they're really in background but here, even tho I'll probably won't ship these, I pretty much loved how they were written! They didn't feel forced or anything and while they were somehow main part of the plot (red ribbon and stuff), they also weren't really in the very front and weren't "pushed into reader's face", you kept them important, yet subtle and I loved that
Yet another thing which are OCs, I'm one of those people that are not really a fan of OCs in fandom stories but here is the almost same story as with ships, I really loved them and after finishing it, I couldn't imagine this story without them (considering like most of the countries are technically OCs), but let's not forget the forces of nature, next generation and of course Panarus which were ones of the most important parts of the plot, especially in later chapters (I'm pretty eager to make a fanart of General Winter, Adamastor, Pele, La Catrina and Panarus actually, it make take a while tho since it's Art Fight right now) but back to the topic, outside of them we also can't forget the countries (and regions of course!) which also were important to the story bit didn't make it yet in official hetalia (even after all 4 years since this story been completed) and of course I'm talking about Brazil, South Africa, Israel, North Korea, South Americans and many, MANY more
All of them had their own invidual personality, even if some characters were given 2-3 sentences before they died, but in most cases I could literally feel how it would been if I were there and talked with them for a while
This one is not that much story related but I also really loved your author notes at the end of chapters, especially the ones that include history stuff, since I'm a big history nerd (mostly WW1 and European stuff tho) so thanks for all the facts from South African history
I was so invested in the story I literally made a table with the nations in Amodi (separate for the ones in willingly and not willingly), nations kidnapped and dead, along with keeping track on literal map (used an app for this but it's the fact that counts)
At one point I literally myself didn't know if I wanted for Amodi to win or the Allies and even made speculations how it could end in both scenarios, didn't expect back then for a personification of chaos and destruction be relased actually
Also the ending kinda cought be off guard cause I wasn't really expecting some of them dying to nuclear attack and then kind of making peace with each group but ot was still pretty enjoyable
Wales, Quebec and Portugal gonna stay as my favorite characters to the end of the world and longer (I'm really into betraying, characters changing sides, possession and not being in control, and most important of all, ANGST)
As the last words here, I'm gonna kinda miss waiting till night time to read this till 3-4am (cause I didn't had much time during day), now I need sadly to find a new thing to do then (and hopefully draw this one fanart I have in mind lol)
Sorry this review was so rushed lmao, I really just wrote what came to mind so I most likely even forgot some stuff I wanted to say so anyways
Keep safe and have a good day/night! And once again AMAZING STORY

Inicie la historia y hasta que se termino la historia no la deje de felicitación es una de las mejores historias que he leído de hetalia junto con la historia mascara rota de su creación.
Se puede escribir una reacción de los personajes originales a la historia ?
