Quotes of people in your nation MK. IV

[Allancia]

"No, Yanbian is misguided Korea. They must be reintroduced to the glory of true Korea."

-DMIOE
Reichskanzler
Beginning to understand humor

Yes. And that true Korea is not that Juche pseudo-socialist, hermit kingdom that is the DPRK.

-H-

OOC: Don't worry, I'm actually a Korean nationalist. This more or less explains why.

"Welcome to Allancia. The police brutality trauma centers are directly to your right."

-Graffiti in the Mallack Airport

[Las Palmeras]

"Your wife is out of control! Every month she salts the furniture, she keeps that stray cat around, she gets the kids to write on paper she stamps outside...luckily the neighbors think it's some kind of Japanese folk greeting. And these things...what's that weird amulet?!

That's a pentacle of...something.

Something?

She's using Western magic mostly, what more do you want?

That little white witch is ruining our reputation in the apartment!"
-Montserrat and José Zorilla (2018)

"The Third Pentacle of Jupiter protects against evil spirits."
-Tomoko Zorilla

[Shqieria e Madhe]

"Rankovich wants us to turn our borders into a roadhouse with two gates through which Yugoslav, Italian and Greek agents and weapons could go in and out freely, without visas, in order to bring us their "culture of cutthroats", so that Tito may realize his dream of turning Albania into the seventh republic of Yugoslavia, so that the reactionary Italian bourgeoisie may put into action for the third time their predatory intentions towards Albania, or so that the Greek monarcho-fascists may realize their crazy dream of grabbing southern Albania. Because we have not permitted and will never permit such a thing, we are "warmongers". They know very well that if they violate our borders they will have to fight us and the whole socialist camp."
-Enver Hoxha

[Estainia]

"With all due respect, I hope that I never see you again."

"I agree completely, enjoy Wisconsin or Idaho, retired evil overlord."

"I think I might move back to England, buy my house that they turned into a museum. Come to find out that a couple hundred years makes one's estate very rich indeed. May you find peace in your life, and never have to see Northern Spain again."

"May people always read your books, I guess." - the last conversation between Roland Karling and Alistair King, 2006 AD

[Allancia]

"Under communism, you grow wheat all summer long and come winter, the state takes your wheat but gives you some milk. Under capitalism, you grow wheat all summer long and come winter, with debts to several people, you sell your house, your wheat, your land and your car. Yep, and we're such terrible people, aren't we?"

-Herrman Wells
Party orator
In a speech during a Party function

[Oroloo]

"No, we never loved each other. We came to respect each other as time went on, we were dear friends. But, love? ... Yeah, no. That was Ogden, he got under our skin by comparing us to an arguing couple every now and then. Somehow, some bards or something must've thought he was being serious and now there's the occasional poem of our 'secret love' you can find if you visit the right poet's collection. Honestly, I think Valorea would be going on a murder-spree at this point, if she were sill alive."

"What did happen to Valorea 'The Black-Cloak?'"

"Heh... Funny thing, really. We had a rather significant... disagreement on how she and I sought to handle a Dwarven invasion of Oroloo. She was an 'ends justify the means' type, I was a 'means justify the end' type. So, we decided to settle it the best way we could. We fought to the death."

"..... What?"

"Oh, it was really close. She was a helluva Will-User and fast as an arrow in mid-flight. I had a good swinging arm and could take a little more punishment. That made the difference, in the end, she bled out first. I should've bled out too, really, but I got lucky."

"... You fought your 'respected friend' to the death?"

"We decided that it was the only way to settle it."

"What the fuck would've caused that?!"

"..... I can't go into detail, but she arguably saved a third of northern Oroloo from the Dwarves war with the Magisters. Naturally, it came at a price. I said it wasn't worth it, she disagreed. I can't say I truly condemn what she did, she saved so many lives, arguably even my own, but... I called her a demon in the form of a person for doing it, she called me a deluded bandit pretending to be a hero for denying it... We were going to come to blows no matter what. Our frie- our former friendship simply asked that we at least formalize the occasion. To take out what little venom that could be removed from it, but besides making a declaration of our intent and setting up a location for it... it was basically two friends declaring they were going to murder each other before they murdered each other..."

"..... I- I think I'm going to leave you alone for now."

"Yes. Please do."

- William Black, Heroic King of Oroloo and a curious servant.

Coincidentally, rumours of William and Valorea's 'secret romance' ended a few years later. A rumour of their 'secret hatred' replaced it. William was still disappointed.

[Ruridova]

"Actually, it's about ethics in international diplomacy."
- text over an image of Embassy Row burning during the Fall Crisus, posted by an anonymous Ruridovan on an image-sharing site

[Greater Mackonia]

"By 2070s, Mexico stopped being a mustachio-and-sombrero laughing stock, scoffed by reactionary middle-aged American voters frightened of immigration; in that time it became an economic power with industrial-military capabilities that could pose a challenge to the USA. During the 2090s an increasingly separatist American Southwest funded and supplied by Mexico and Brasil turns into a problem for the US, by that time a shadow of it's former self, victim of a trading blockade imposed by Poland.

In the Old World, an emerged Polish-Baltic bloc dominates economically much of what was Russia and China, crippled by a low birth rate and a regional fragmentation due to mass income inequality. And by the 2110s, only a surrounded Franco-German union in Europe resists, and significant cultural changes occur due to mainly North African immigrants who fill the shoes of a Europe with a low-birth rate. India maintains a vast sphere of influence in parts of China and South-East Asia, scrambling for Africa against a Turkey which controls the Middle East. In this time, Japan and Oceania make a Union in an attempt to reverse their population problems and to counter the continental Indian problem.

Backed by the USA, an increasingly weakened and blocked Las Palmeras struggles against direct military intervention from Brasil and Mexico, as the US finds itself locked in a land war after a surprise attack by Mexico in it's South. So Las Palmeras opts for a third way and accepts being a semi-autonomous version of Goa or Hong Kong in the American continent for the Polish bloc.

So...kids...welcome your new Polish overlords..."
-No Name

I once read a very bad book by a very silly American who spent the next few hundred pages predicting almost everything you said just then.Except he was insistent that while Russia and China would crumble into nothingness by daring to challenge American might the good'ole USA would remain the greatest nation in the world fighting off the evil Turkish-Polish-Japanese axis and leading the world into space colonisation only to gracefully "allow" Mexico to take their place sometime in the 23rd century. Honestly I thought Michael Fish was a better forecaster.

"Hmph. After the shitstorm of the nineties the Russians now have the upper-hand again, with their economy booming as foreign investors rush to profit from "People's Capitalism". Now the Russians have sorted out their efficiency issues their returning to the arms race with a vengeance. Meanwhile the U.S.A is finding its resources increasingly stretched by the 'War on Drugs', the legacy of 2008 is still hanging over the west and Washington is politically deadlocked. The next major 'game changer' predicted by western analysts is who can benefit most from "the Mackonian Withdrawal"; as an effect of Sikasith's death and the ensuring Civil War over here, the quasi-Maoist "League of Loonies", the series of equatorial Mackonian satellites, are struggling as well. The Sukarnoists recently fell in Indonesia, the Perons are looking shaky in Argentina and the Greater African Confederacy is up shit creek."

"Do you know what I don't get?"

"What is it now, Barney?"

"Well, just look at these nations."

"What are you trying to say now?"

"Well, to sum it up, every nation is either

a pony-infested nation,

an insane dictatorship,

an anarchic wasteland,

'a beacon of liberty' and STIs,

a liberal nation with rainbow flags, flowers, and a rising fascist regime,

a money-worshipping nation,

a false democracy,

a loony monarchy,

and finally nations populated by anthropomorphic cats, dogs, lizards, bears, peanuts, or enchiladas."

"I didn't get the last part about the enchilada peanuts."

"I really don't get why people have to be so hostile out there! I mean, sure we might have alot of weapons, but we aren't that hostile! And those weapons aren't exclusive to us!"

"To put it short, we are just looking for a trade partner, aren't we?"

"Pretty much, yeah..."

"Give them adventures, marry them, maim them, do whatever it is you wish with the exception of a few things. Do not claim them as your own, do not write slash with my characters, and do not kill them off." - Stephen Jones

Clearly, ducks are magical creatures who have invisible sound-filters that only allow them to hear stuff they'll actually give a damn about.

"Mr. Exposition, I have a question."

"What is it, Billy?"

"I've heard lots of nations fill a certain archetype around here. I've heard of all sorts of nations a nation can be, but what I don't know is; what archetype do we fill?"

"Why, that's an easy question, Billy. Phisych University is one of the arrogant jackasses who sip tea and chuckle malevolently at everyone around us. Regardless of the actual circumstances we may be in compared to everyone else."

"Thanks, mr. Exposition!"

"That's all right, Billy. Now you know, and knowing is all it takes to keep the dirty plebeians in line."

- Billy and Mr. Exposition, characters in the Phisychian comic strip 'Billy and Mr. Exposition.' Demonstrating that, outside the realms of science, Phisychians have terrible imaginations.
