^ Nah it's about a self-awarely bizarre AU setting where schools are based on repurposed giant aircraft carriers and a team combat sport with TANKS!!! is a worldwide phenomenom. (Back in the day it was often joked to be "World of Tanks: The Anime".) Also culturally strongly regarded as a "girl thing" in-universe which is the unabashed handwave for the monogender cast.
For whatever reason the different school-ships seem to strongly associate with particular countries and this reflects on the tank clubs' vehicle parks and often other traits in a tongue-in-cheek stereotyped fashion (eg. the US analog Saunders High, represented here by "Grabass" Kay, are fucking loaded and gleefully flaunt their resources). Militaria geeks like me would point out this often results in what should really be grossly tactically nonfunctional rosters (and/or outright nonsensical and luridly imbalanced match-ups) but whatevs, it's definitely not a franchise to be taken too seriously.
