International Academy of Hetalia Fanfiction

The International Academy of Hetalia Fanfiction (IAHF, not IHAF or OFUH, as some people have mistakenly called it) is the OFU for the anime/manga Hetalia: Axis Powers. Its Course Coordinator is a fanon character in the Hetalia Canon: Mr. Allen Clarke/Hugh Fraser. Yes, the Course Coordinator has a split personality.

The events at the Academy are narrated by a multitude of students, the primary four being Jennifer Faye Chang, Megan the Alien, Merka Breigher, and Kriss Kross. Most of the Staff events are narrated by Arthur Kirkland, personification of England, or Mr. Allen/Hugh.

The main focus of the IAHF curriculum is history, since Hetalia Canon itself is, for the most part, just a scattered variety of gag strips detailing the historical shenanigans of personified Nations. The laws of the Hetalia Canon are more lax than that of other fandoms, but they are no less important. IAHF strives to make fanbrats learn how to write sensible, tasteful, historically-backed goodfic through lectures and pain. While the Canon itself may not be entirely historically accurate, its whole purpose is to satirise history in an educational manner. In order to satirise a subject, a writer must know that subject very well - hence the in-depth history lectures at IAHF.

Mochi Nations serve as Minis at IAHF. They are giant blobs of rice paste and cream filling, and they like to eat lettuce (aside from the staple Mini diet of bacon and raw eggs, of course). Mochi Nations spawn from the misspelling of a Hetalia character's human or Nation name, in any language. There have also been Mochis spawned from misspelled historical figures, although misspelled doctors and nurses in history usually end up working at the IAHF infrimary. Other strange creatures found at IAHF are the Hong Kongese (nasty little Pekingese dogs with a serious lice problem), Honk Kong (a walking horn), the Rome-Wall, Germania-Sword, Mama Greece-Vase, and Mama Egypt-Sarcophagus.

Staff Members at IAHF are Nations who have official designs by the Headmaster. There are clones of Staff Members, like Pirate Arthur, Pirate Francis, Kuro Kiku, and Aviator Alfred. Some of the clones may be historical or fanon creations that snuck into the Staff Section. Fanon characters (characters with official designs but very minor roles in the Canon, like Mr. Allen/Hugh) are also on the staff. Shinbun-kun (also known as Mr. Newspaper), for example, is a fanon character but he runs the Bled Chronicles, the school newspaper.

The school colour is Bled, commonly nicknamed 'purple's evil little sister' since it is a mixture of red and blue in a way that doesn't quite make purple. The Bled Pinjas are responsible for any possessions at school being painted Bled, and usually official school stationery is coloured Bled as well.
