Quotes of people in your nation MK. IV

[Gorgashia]

"All I say is 'Workers, make cooperatives!' That's it. I don't say surrender all your belongings to the state. I don't say sacrifice liberty for security. I don't say entrust your well-being to some political elite that promises they will take care of you. I don't say eat the rich and take all their stuff. Yet, everyone presumes I say this because I'm a red. All I can say is this, when the Communists take over, and are rounding up all the dissenters and they manage to catch you, don't be surprised if you find me standing right next to you on the gallows. Like, half of all conflicts involving the forces of Socialism involves the forces of Socialism killing each other because we can't really agree on what Socialism is and how to achieve it."

- Jonathan Cornwal, Orator.

"The grass is always apparently greener on the other side. When it comes to imported pornography, magazines and other merchandise related to 'Gravure Idols'...most of them, the suggestive Japanese minor variety...and are some kind of special niché thing that goes through loopholes seeing as how it's classified as an 'importation of valid origin' and is then screened and sold as 'not pornography'...on specialized Adult stores stupidly enough because such material can't be made here."
-The Office Lady

"Yeah, that's always been a key problem in Las Palmeras due to it's geographical position among other things. Back in the 1930s, rum running to the US was the major cash cow.

Nowadays cocaine and marijuana to go north to the US and head across the ocean to Europe. The fact that the latter is legally grown,make smuggling to other countries a problem be it by local or foreign suppliers who sell them elsewhere which is why punitive regulations and taxes occur with growers. Girls used in prostitution still get occasionally 'imported' here and may be then sent to the US, most from Eastern Europe and Central Asia, legalized brothels in special areas have only modified below-the-radar pimping to become racketeering. Arms from the the former Soviet republics go southward from time to time.

A man was arrested for trying to ship 'Junior Idol' magazines to the US? That's barely an issue."

"I was idly reading about springtime festivities when I read about...Kanamaru Matsuri? That's not helping stereotypes...and it's not helping the stereotype that we have no culture.

Well mother, all countries have their own little fertility rites. Don't you...eh...

Yes. There's a festival dedicated to missiles. We still have a hollowed out R-12 missile that people generally believe they were the tools that caused the USA to back off during the Cold War during the Crisis, as a result it's paraded around while people throw confetti at it and eat missile-like things. Occasionally a Russian tourist or two can be seen celebrating seeing as how they made the missiles...

I was going to say something else."
-Montserrat and Tomoko Zorilla

[New Frenco Empire]

"Democracy. The guiding principle of the Western world. Many men and women have died to obnoxiously bring it upon nationstate after nationstate abroad. A noble goal, if not so pretentious. The true individualist shuns democracy, for the system is a collectivist sham in which the common fool decides which bumbling lawyer gets to hold an office for the next four years. 'No,' I said. 'The people deserve better.' Corrupt collectivism gave in to enlightened meritocracy. Rule by the politician ceased, instead giving way to rule by the scientist. The philosopher. The teacher. At times, even the soldier. Men and women who know what must be done for the people, at any cost necessary."

-Joseph Hightower

[Senyosu]

Willful ignorance is an insult to human progress as a whole. I condemn the willfully ignorant, and such people shall lower their heads in shame.

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

"If a society becomes too free, the people might become slaves or genocide victims anyway. Just look at the North American Outlands. No state to govern over it, excepting a few villages and pseudo-governments, of course, but those are the nicer areas. Just huge, oligarchical cartels and raider gangs. A perfect balance is the most ideal you can hope for."

-Ygritte Kline

[Ruridova]

"Human life is the process of attempting to reconcile two irreconcilable truths: that no man is an island and that hell is other people."
