Brilliant! I love Hetalia fic that is heavy on the history, and I was hoping to find England/America fic dealing with this period, plus this is fantastically written!

Thank you very much. The sixties, after all, are my second favourite decade. I actually had wanted to do a second part with the actual IPI, but... well, it is what it is. XD

I'm glad you found what you were looking for!

That was pretty interesting. It's not a time I know a whole lot about, but I liked reading your portrayal and the author's notes at the end were informative.

Thank you! I was hoping the notes weren't too much - they got cut a lot. (A whole lot.) It's a pretty crazy time, with Vietnam as a major issue in the States - and the rest of the world. The Beatniks were a crazy bunch, shyup.

Very interesting; the period you've chosen is unique, and I like how you brought in the characters-- so cool!
