the httyd books could totally have a Servant of the People AU. Tailoring it to the US system because that's the one i know best.
Hiccup is a tired scottish-american middle/high school biology teacher who got into a rant against the president's environmental policy, which eventually turned into a rant against his everything policy, the entirety of which has severe criminal allegations against "President Alvin" (one of the kids audibly whispers "he's on First Name Basis with the President?!" Another kid responds "he's on a First Name Basis with a Republican?" in the background) peppered throughout it. Youtube-user-with-delusions-of-grandeur-and-biology-teacher's-son XxX_ToothlessDaydream_XxX surreptitiously films and uploads this rant onto youtube, where it immediately goes viral and starts multiple online campaigns to write his name in the Republican Primaries "for the memes", and multiple parallel campaigns to write his name in the Democratic Primaries "to force the Democratic party to stop shooting themselves in the foot and actually nominate someone the People want."
The Iowa caucus happens, and it's about what you'd expect. Then the results for the New Hampshire Primaries come out and...
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third wins both of them. Super Tuesday comes along. Hiccup wins in every state. Both parties. Same in California, Same in Louisiana. Same in Alvin's home state of Florida. It's the highest turnout for presidential primaries in the nation's history it's the highest turnout for any election in the nation's history. All for this biology teacher brimming with righteous anger.
Hiccup doesn't know any of this. He was wrangling children all throughout Winter and Spring. He spent his summer on the bottom of the Pacific ocean discovering eight new kinds of sea snake, two new kinds of giant anglerfish, and a new species of whale. When he emerges, he finds that the school has put him on Paid Administrative Leave until the second monday in november. He uses this time to discover three new species of bird in the Darien Gap.
By the time he returns to the States, he's already the President-elect.
