[Bereia]

"It was called the Wannsea Conference, named for the suburb of Berlin in which it was held in 1942, and it had a sinister, monstrous purpose. Members of military and civil agencies in the Third Reich came from across Europe to discuss the "Jewish Question," as it was then known, the problem of how to remove the millions of Jews then living in Germany and in German-occupied places in numerous countries. Martin Luther, an official of the Reich's Foreign Ministry and not to be confused with the Protestant theologian and author, kept a record of the minutes of the meeting in his ministry's archives, and these are the only reason we can even confirm the meeting ever took place. What was the answer? How did they solve the Jewish Question? With very typical German levels of efficiency, ruthless determination, and a sadistic drive to turn genocide into a production line industry. They failed, but not for want of effort."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen, in her role as a historian.

Palm trees don't grow here, you fucking idiot.—LittleBoyBlue, forumgoer, after a foreign news outlet showed footage of an alleged military crackdown on protests during the Ruridovan Crisis. The footage was not taken seriously, as the palm trees shown in the video cannot survive in mid-winter Wisconsin temperatures.

The Ruridovan Crisis? Here it's known as the Fall Crisis even though it lasted into spring the following year.

"Of course, Wisconsin still has not returned to its embassy in Cydysa. Largely because we burnt it to the ground and really only the facade remains."
- Leopold Dietkrech

It's considered two seperate events in Wisconsin, the (sort of) internal Fall Crisis, and the Ruridovan Crisis once Wisconsin involvement was uncovered and relations... soured.

And probably because if we do, and it's stormed, and our people defend themselves rather than laying down and dying, it'd spark a war.—LittleBoyBlue, forumgoer.

"Up until about 1910 anything from the Germanies wasn't considered quality nor efficient if it wasn't Austrian, because all the little Germanies were considered at best, an utter joke." - Stephen Jones, Historical Oddities*

In Ruridova the latter is simply part of the former.

"Also, it's a great location now for Ruridovan politicians to curry support among the people by expressing agreement with the outrage against Wisconsin in front of that charred facade. Svatopolk Obrenovic actually announced his campaign for Prime Minister there."
- Agata Novotny

"The Mackonian Confederation was hardly an example of efficient governance, seventy seven princes ruling various areas as personal fiefs based upon primeval tribal lines that often overlapped backed up by unregulated private armies all under a figurehead Emperor desperately striving to maintain or expand his tenuous power. Its no wonder the Mackonian people put up with such tyranny if just to get the rubbish collected on time".

-Z.Maglos, A Complete History of Greater Mackonia and her Peoples

[Multifarity]

"Placing more hard working people into inescapable poverty, dumping OAPs onto the street, forcing the unfortunate to take on unrepayable loans, cripplingly underfunding state schools so that none of their students can hope for anything above factory work, ensuring that poorer people daredn't visit their doctor about their persistent cough until they collapse and are wheeled into the emergency room with their now-inoperable lung cancer and forcing single mothers to go back into work days after giving birth, is not increasing 'individual autonomy,' the tax-cut this pays for might give you the liberty to choose the deluxe-package for your new speedboat, but the parents who no longer have the liberty to feed their children will not feel much freer. Don't market exploitation as 'freedom.' There is no freedom in penury."

-Finance Minister Nye Bumblebee, to an MP from the fringe Conservative Party

"We don't own this planet, we're renting it from our children, and at the moment we're committing more than a few tenancy infractions."

[Ruridova]

"Many philosophers imagined that kingdoms would be ruled by fair, just, and wise kings who were in touch with both nobleman and commoner and would thus rule as educated and moral philosopher-kings, leading their countries to universal glory. This happened zero times because monarchy is a crapshoot best described by comparing it to the hierarchy of a pack of wolves: one wolf rules and remains just competent or fair or decent enough that he will not lose his head. And sometimes- in fact, often times- they failed at that."
- Jacques Stuart
