"The next part on the schedule is animals of the world. We have all enjoyed this year's presentations. To recap America taught us all about whales in January. Greece followed in February with domestic cats. Spain managed to make turtles sound like a zombie invasion, and just last month, New Zealand and Wales presented some fascinating facts about sheep. I think we all remember that day, so without further ado, but with just as much potential for leaving us mentally scarred, we have Australia talking about poisonous snakes." With those words, and looking as though he was going to be sick, England sat down as far from the podium as he could.

They all looked to the front of the room as Australia took his place at the podium, and grinned at them. Some of the more intelligent nations shrunk back in fear.

"Before I start, I'd just like to say that when England first assigned me this subject I was a bit stumped. Anyway, I started researching, and it was quite difficult to find information on the animals, but here we are, and this is what I found." Again, he grinned. This time, though, he was met with confusion.

England had to admit that he was somewhat impressed when Australia started the PowerPoint. However, that soon changed when he heard what the southern nation had to say.

"There are two poisonous snakes in the world. These are the Rhabdophis tigrinus and the Thamnophis sirtalis. These two snakes are found in Japan and North America respectively. And when eaten will kill you. Now-"

"What are you talking about, Australia? You have most of the world's poisonous snakes. These two snakes are harmless." England, being in charge of this item on the agenda was annoyed at Australia's ignorance of his instructions.

"Well, yeah. When they bite you they won't hurt you, but if you eat them then they will. If you were to come to my place, you could wrestle a taipan to death, and then eat it. Although, I wouldn't recommend that method, it would probably bite you. Then you'd die. But your friends could eat it!"

"Exactly. They're poisonous."

"No! They're venomous. Venomous? It bites you. Poisonous? You bite it. You complain about us messing up your language but you can't even make up your own damn mind. You asked for a presentation about poisonous snakes, so that's what you're getting. Got it?"

England meekly nodded and let Australia move on with his speech. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it, even though for France it was only the fact that England had been caught out misusing his own language.

Finally, after 30 minutes of learning about the common garter snake and the Japanese grass snake, Australia concluded with the following words: "So you should all come and visit me, because there are no poisonous snakes in Australia!"

A/N: It's educational! Today, you learnt two things!

1. According to scientific research, there are only two types of poisonous snakes! It is theorised that there are more, but they remain undiscovered.

2. Venomous and poisonous are not synonyms. However, both will kill you.
