10	!!This FanFic contains examples of:
11	* AlmostKiss: Quite a few times between a certain tsundere couple.
12	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: After hearing Lithuania's backstory, Russia has begun hovering into this territory.]]
13	* BatmanGambit: Russia uses one on an unwitting Lithuania [[spoiler: as part of a plot to discredit America to his superiors]].
14	* BattleCouple: England and America look like they're heading this way.
15	* BelligerentSexualTension: Can America and England be anything else?

18	* BreakTheCutie: Oh, ''America''.
19	* TheCaptain: Both America and England are captains in their respective fields. America also qualifies as TheGoodCaptain, being a military man. [[spoiler: At least until chapter 27.]]
20	* DarkActionGirl: Belarus, a dangerously skilled swordswoman who wants to be TheDragon to Russia instead of Lithuania. She also appears to be the only member of the Kosmider [[ClingyJealousGirl wholeheartedly devoted]] to following Russia, with the other members seeming to follow him more out of fear than anything else (and some even conspiring to take him down).
21	* DatingCatwoman
22	* DeadpanSnarker: Prussia gets some of the best lines in this fic.
23	* EveryoneCanSeeIt:
24	** Somebody should really keep up a tally of how many people have noticed how blatantly [[HoYay not platonic]] America and England's relationship is.
25	** A much more minor example is America's comment on how everyone knows that Japan is ''not'' JustFriends with Greece in spite of Japan trying to be discreet about it.
26	* HomoeroticSubtext: Very blatant in most of the characters, with the most noticeable being America and England (seeing as it's a America/England fic), Poland and Lithuania, Prussia and Switzerland and Spain and Romano.
27	* HonorAmongThieves: America learns about this and gains a somewhat grudging respect for England after he [[spoiler: calls in his favor to help his crew fight off the Kosmider, who were attacking another ship.]]
28	-->'''England''': They weren't after us. The attack was on Captain Carriedo's ship. We just came to help.
29	-->'''America''': What? You came to help, even though it wasn't your-
30	-->'''England''': Is the concept that we'd help someone else so unbelievable to you, America?
31	* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: [[spoiler: After America and England kiss,]], Switzerland delivers this to [[spoiler: America]] saying:
32	-->'''Switzerland''': It's not up to me to judge [[spoiler: the Captain's]] choices, but I will say...that if you hurt him, in any way. I will shoot you, and I won't miss.
33	* IslandBase: Australia's island
34	* JustLikeRobinHood: Captain Spain Carriedo of the Nuberu Pirates is described as someone like this; notable for his helping of merchant ships.
35	* LaResistance: As of Chapter 28 France is, appropriately, planning one.
36	* LoveEpiphany: Both America and England eventually have this in regards to their feelings for the other, albeit at different times: England gets his when he's watching America SleepCute, and America gets his when his best friend Japan prods him into realizing that he loves England.
37	* ManipulativeBastard: Russia, judging by how [[spoiler: he managed to frame America as a spy for the Kosmider and send him on the run.]]
38	* ManlyTears: After his [[WideEyedIdealist wide-eyed idealism]] and trust in the military is [[BreakTheCutie shattered]] when [[spoiler: the military frames him as a spy and strips him of his position despite his attempts to be good, America really does deserve a good cry.]]
39	* TheMedic: Interestingly enough, Switzerland is both the medic of England's crew and TheGunslinger. A SquishyWizard he is not. This is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by America at one point.
40	* TheMole: Lithuania. There may be a mole helping the Kosminder, too, but it hasn't been revealed yet.
41	* MomentKiller: Remember that moment [[spoiler: in England's cabin, which ultimately culminated into an AlmostKiss?]] Thanks, Prussia. Thanks a lot.
42	* MysteriousPast: Over 20 chapters and we still don't know why England is a pirate captain at so young, or why he dislikes the military so much in the first place.
43	** Prussia's got one too.
44	* NeatFreak: Japan is mentioned as being one. England, too.
45	* ThePlan: What the Kosmider is pulling off, according to Poland.
46	-->'''Poland''': Everything the Kosmider does is... like, so calculated. They don't do anything on impulse.
47	* SkilledButNaive: America is an ''ace pilot'', having gone through the ranks, but his idealistic nature is mentioned/discussed/made fun of/complimented several times throughout the fic.
48	* SleepCute: There's a moment like this after America admires England sleeping for a while in chapter 16 after they've spent the night together. No, not like ''that.''
49	* SteamPunk
50	* TrueCompanions: England's pirate crew and America's team
51	* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: Chapter 27. Just when you think America and England are finally gaining an edge over the Kosmider, it's revealed that there's a mole in the military, America gets framed as a spy, and [[CliffHanger Lithuania...]]]]
52	* WideEyedIdealist: America. England even has him promise that he won't lose that aspect of himself when things begin getting serious.
53	* WillTheyOrWontThey: America and England. [[spoiler: And as of chapter 17, they ''do''. There was much [[{{Squee}} squeeing]]. Though they have yet to truly admit their feelings to each other.]]
