Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. V

[Saurisisia]

"Everyone has their fair share of ignorance and arrogance, the only variant is how obvious someone is with theirs."
~ Secretary of Foreign Affairs Beth Sanderson

[Greater Mackonia]

"I merely take to extremes and laud as good what you see within thyselves every time thou gazeth into thy mirrors. What doth thou see? A beast! What do I see? A God! And what do I see when I gaze into my mirror and thyself, that which pains me? I see a man."

-Z.Maglos.

[Dominated Earth]

"The world has seen how quickly Western Europe buckled under our might. They watched as Russia fell to us, as Africa broke out into rebellion and as Israel fell into our hands. And only now have the superpowers finally figured out the threat we pose"

- The Emissary of Seth

[Ruridova]

"To you, I ask this, what is liberty? You often shout it and are willing to throw yourselves at lines of soldiers for it, yet immidiately afterward you go to oppress others because they have different skin colors or where born outside of your nations borders, or even because of, frankly, what they have in their pants. So I ask you again friend, what is liberty?"
-Tömöbaatar Sarangeri, Bojikamiian philosopher to an American merchant, 1897

"The very basis of hatred is one of two things, dislike or envy, often both." - Cornelius A. Maximilian

[The Nexus of Man]

"Alas ... they [the conservatives] actually have structure and order not dictated by natural temptations such as sucking your fellow man off for a few measly socialist dollars and using fetuses as compost for your organic garden that you use as a 'finger to the big man' corporations, scheduling a protest at churches and choirs like the WBC picketing funerals while pleading for secularism, praying every day to Marx and Trotsky for the 'common man's social plight to be atoned in the spilling of conservatives' blood' through anarchy and leftist policies, destroying the environment with the leftover pollution and machinery that you so clamored to remove, while having a finger up your ass like a sock puppet or a mouthpiece to money, because money.

Money is apathetic to politics...it's all about the money. At the end of the day, you don't care about nobody. Not the gays, not the babies, no one. You care about money, and that's it.

You sit there all day, preaching about 'love thy neighbor' without referring the Bible, 'see no evil' without staring at the lifeless eyes of the vacuumed corpses, and 'do no evil' while defaming successful people who fought tooth and nail, blood and all for a little sense of comfort.

You say 'bend over and bow' before the gay prophets, parading down the street like the Ku Klux Klan. A burning cross? Now a flying flag. White robes? Now transgender clothes. White power? Now gay power.

At the end of the day, you're no liberal. You're a slave to money, and a slave to nature.

Because we all know... Cash Rules Everything Around Me."

"Why does everyone seem to hate Bereia?"

"Probably because of their successful and utilitarian ideology not followed by the numerous liberal and fascist states, all secretly in one way or another jealous of their ideals."

"Oh, so kind of like 'I secretly want to have your philosophy and ideology, but I openly hate you because that is the human psychological response to someone having a favorable ideal which is contrast to everything I had believed since then'?"

"You got that right. Surprising, coming from you, Selena."

[Dominated Earth]

"Test number 3. We've had moderate success with the Chronosphere and have successfully thrown a potted plant outside the time stream, effectively making it disappear. We have yet to figure out a way to bring it back into the time stream. If we are successful, the Chronosphere will allow us to instantly transmit anything or anyone to any location we want! Power consumption is also an issue too, but that is an issue for another time"

- The head scientist part of the Chronosphere project.

[Allancia]

"Log 1993:
We've failed. I've seen the lifeless eyes of almost 10,000 people stare up into mine, and we are no closer to our goal then when we were when we started. No matter what we tried, we always found failure in our efforts. Every single time we tried to make a biological catalyst, it quickly died, and the resulting chemicals were either too weak, poisoning the subjects, or too strong, giving them a cancerous growth that killed them in minutes. And of all of them, only one of them survived. They've gone into a coma, and our attempts at any analysis have been thwarted by their fast-acting skin regeneration. The State Science Sector said it would cut our funding entirely by next week if we showed no progress. Six years of never ending work, all for nothing."

-Lab logs of Dr. Micah Franks, state scientist, circa 1938. Dr. Franks purportedly killed the aforementioned subject by lighting a fire in its bed, and disappeared with his lab logs detailing the subject's creation. Several decades later, his body, believed to be somewhere in the Saudi Arabian desert, has never been found.

"You and your kind have violated the peace of planet Tristrom of the Qwib-Qwib system. However, considering that no severe breaches of ethical codes and customs have transpired, you shall be given adequate materials and ships to colonize one of the larger asteroids in a stable orbit around the nearby gas giant, Volfa. Let it be known that if further incidents develop within this colony with the present generation of colonists, the Courts of the Trade Order will demand that you be permanently exiled from Trader Space altogether. That is my sentence."

"Welcome to the wonders of Multi-Culturalism, Billy. Wait until you visit the Jerusalem System. I'll give you a hint what it's theme is. One world is called 'New Vatican,' another called 'New Mecca' and the last one is called 'New Israel.' Needless to say, the Trade Order Interplanetary/Interstellar Enforcers keep a close eye on that system."

- Two Trade Order merchants.
