"Then that's my bear's name, too," declared Alaska. He hugged the bear and examined its button eyes and pinched its soft little ears while America clattered about with the stove and pancake batter. As he poured the batter onto the smoking skillet, America stole glances at his son and Ivan-bear, and felt another pang.
His other children all knew their fathers (or mother, in the case of the half-dozen he'd had with Mexico); in fact, their other parents often quarrelled over them, bragging about who's children were the most beautiful, the smartest, the most talented. Only America played no favorites -- only he had to love them all equally. But it was only Alaska that he had to love enough for two

A polite rapping at the door, and Alaska looked up from his plate. "I think that's Hawaii's dad," he said.
America checked his watch. "Right on time."
"I'll let him in," Alaska said, hopping from his chair and bounding for the door.
Alaska had always been fascinated with Japan, the only one among his siblings' fathers who visited their home regularly (in all fairness, this was because his other siblings lived in their own homes now, and were visited by their fathers there). At first, Alaska had thought Japan, with his delicate features and long kimono, was a girl and had called him "Miss Japan" until America, laughing, finally convinced him that Japan was Hawaii's dad and not her mother.
Sure enough, Japan was standing at the door. "Good morning, obo-chan," he told Alaska, with a polite nod of the head

I'll explain more later, but basically, each state has its own personification, while native tribal groups that have been resident there long before the current era also have their own personifications. So in the case of Alaska there's Haida-tan, Inuit-tan, Aleut-tan, etc. co-existing with Alaska State-tan. I have not overlooked this, don't worry!
I <3 this fic so far! The beginning is brilliant! I really like America here, he's so warm and caring! He's such an awesome dad, and I like his thoughts on his children. And aww at Alaska, being the only one to not know his father. LOL at Miss Japan, and I like that Japan is Hawaii's dad, so cute <3 Ivan-bear sounds adorable. I also really like the line about santa sending Ivan his letters, that was really cute! All in all, I'm bookmarking this, and I can't wait for more!
OMG I was craving exactly this: state cuteness. Your children are so believable, author anon, and I say this as an odler sister of six! Alaska is adorable, but his silent pain for not knowing his father, and the fact that he's never had time for himself or much attention paid to him, make my heart clench. America is the most awesome father on the Earth, he has good reasons for everything, and a good heart, not wanting his kid to hate his other father no matter what. I love that he's so dedicated and loving that he can overcome his personality faults (oblivious lack of tact, immaturity and inability to read others) for them; and his special abilities to sense them and the moment they are conceived which sounded strangely adorable and intimate; does that mean that, the moment his partner has reached climax inside him, he knows he's been knocked up?. I can't wait to know in what circumstances Alaska was conceived! Will you go there? *eager*Also, the relationship you asigned to the states and their other fathers was great...as was the

Awesome and very cute start! I'm so excited to see several stories on the kink meme with mpreg and state-tans going on right now, and all of them are handled so well! This was absolutely adorable, and I can't wait to see more state-tan cuteness, and how Alaska gets to his dad.
America stuck the key in the ignition, silently cursing Russia for putting him in this position, faced with a child's innocent question without an easy answer. "Kiddo, I don't think that's a good idea

They pulled into the driveway to see a large box, almost ten feet high and six feet wide, sitting on the front lawn of America's house. Alaska yawned as America unbuckled him and woke him up, and then he gaped in amazement. "What's that"Something Tony's been working on," America said, sitting Alaska down and prying open the front of the box. "It's an experimental weather balloon, using alien technology to make it undetectable by radar -- wow! Look at it
( ... )
OVERLOAD OF CUTENESS! lmao an alien weather balloon, eh? I'm guessing that little Alaska's going to try and use it. And I love that you included all the comments aboout communism and it being like a disease. So America! Obviously this is during the Cold War, but when during it exactly? P.S Does Alaska have a human name?
"Because sometimes balloons like this fly into hostile territory," America went on. "And we don't want someone thinking its a spy plane and shooting it down..."
I DIED, RIGHT THERE. Oh anon, I love your characterization, and if this is going where I think it's going I might have to pledge my undying love to you. Just warning you. America is the best dad ever. ♥
Bawww, poor Alaska! I love how he subtly needs to reafirm his stance with his dad when he sees his sister curled up with her other dad...and the skating <3<3<3 (I hope for some skatings later on when he meets Russia...)
You balance America really well; he's a great dad (that moment when he feels sad Russia's missing out on everything), but he's also a teen, with his enthusiasm about the balloon...and we all know what that balloon's gonna do now that Alaska knows its posibilitiesXD
I found it interesting that America worries about Russia denying Alaska's paternity, since the Russian doesn't even know the child exists...it's so cute to know he looks so much like Russia! That's my headcanon too ^^ wait, he has the nose, right? what else? Does he have the ashen-blond hair, the violet eyes...? he's apparently small for his age, so he obviously doens't have the build...
Long ago, back in 1822, when America had six children under the age of seven, he had tried growing a beard to look older, but only succeeded in looking like a youth with

Thank you! The next chapter should be up shortly after Christmas.
Russia is aware of Alaska's existence. We'll find out more about what happened to those letters Alaska sent to him in care of Finland/Santa Claus later.
The state-tans still do age a little slower than human children, but not by much. Alaska's the approximate equivalent of a six-year-old human child, although he's chronologically eight. I felt too bad for America to leave him with babies that stay in diapers for 30 or 40 years. :) As for his appearance, we'll be seeing him through Russia's eyes soon.

This fic starts out January 3, 1967, Alaska's eighth birthday. And Alaska's human name is Aleksei.
