I thought England was called England because the Japanese thought it would be funny, (like how America is called America and not the United States of America and it sounds like he is representing the whole contient...) because here in the USA we just call UK Britain or England lol

...I'm sorry, authornon, but as amusing as this fill was, it also made me wince a little...probably because I'm an English!anon and therefore would like to point out:
Britain =/= United Kingdom Britain = England, Scotland and Wales (ahh, Wales, you poor, forgotten country...I think it's probably the Canada of the UK...) Northern Ireland =/= part of Britain
Also, for the sake of your health, please never NEVER refer to the UK or Britain as 'England' around anyone from the other UK countries...the result will not be pretty...especially the Scots whose whole national identity seems to be 'not English'. Ahh, my motherland, why are you so hated by the whole world Celts? OTL
But as for the fill - PFFT, America, you really do have a terrible case of foot-in-mouth going on there XD It's totally the kind of thing he'd do...

Er... this fic makes me wince too, even though I'm not English (or from anywhere near UK). I know this is the kinkmeme and this fic is a good crack, but still... Doing a little research (in this case, only some clicks in google results)and thus avoiding unintentionally insulting people from other countries, is this so hard to ask for these day ;_;?
America randomly starts calling England "Britain". England, who has always responded to "England", is exceedingly confused.
Why, yes, this is because of the dub. I don't mind too terribly, but...(off topic is off topic)
