Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. V

[Auzkhia]

"Today is the beginning of a new adventure."
-Prince Regal Stallion, before travelling to another dimension

[The Yorkshire Commonwealth]

"The first thing I noticed upon stepping into the hallowed halls of Parliament as a young backbencher in 1951 is how much it resembled a posh private school. The decoration, the furniture, the upholstry, the choice of artwork. Everything, was designed to make people who's parents paid for their education feel at home, and those who's parents didn't feel uncomfortable and out of place. It told the world in no uncertain terms that this was the domain of a specific few. And it was above all else, a dedication to the past.
When I became Prime Minister I changed that, I proposed to the public that we 'modernised' the design, swapped the dusty and old for a sharp, clean, daring modernity which spoke of scientific and technological progress. Not only does it look better now, and a damn-sight easier to clean, but it sends the clear message to those who sit within it and those who watch it on TV, that it is the house of progress and equality."

-70's Prime Minister K.T. Neville

[Auzkhia]

"We invented the Hot Dog."
-The Lord Mayor of Frankfurt am Main, visiting Chicago, USA.

[Bereia]

"My own preference is to regulate something only when it has been proved to be necessary, rather than rushing frantically to load down with laws and restrictions every new thing which crosses the horizon. Most things in life do fine without the pressing weight of government intervention, and in fact flourish only when allowed to act freely and naturally."

-- Representative Jennifer H. C. Brunel.

[Estainia]

"We followers of Apollo? You people seriously thought we worship Apollo?"

"Er... Get over it?" - part of a conversation between Roland Karling and Tamid Iman, 2006 AD

[Auroya]

"The microchip shall destroy totalitarianism."

--- Empress Alexandria I, 1967

[Bereia]

"No true monopoly can exist without state intervention to create it, and further intervention to perpetuate its existence."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

"It is in our nature as a people to welcome newcomers with open arms, but it is also in our nature to want to know whom we are welcoming, and in what numbers. This is not unreasonable."

-- Secretary of State Amaya Tagliaferro.

[Navorgska]

"NationStates sucks!"- Max Barry

[Bojikami]

"Sorry if I'm not an optimistic sunshine like you. Being exposed to half of the shit I've been exposed to tends to make you hate everything. "
-Demitri Kasparov

Boo-feckin'-hoo. I grew up during an apocalyptic war for the survival of the human race and my world is dying, and I still manage to avoid all-out doom and gloom.—LittleBoyBlue, forumgoer.

"Never said I wasn't happy at times. I get plenty happy and joy when I brutally execute the enemy. Sometimes I even laugh as they beg for their lives because of how funny it is."
-Demitri Kasparov

[New Frenco Empire]

"The face of communism, everyone. If this isn't reason to round up the animals and turn them into sweet soylent, my name is Karl Fucking Marx!"

-Grand Marshal Ulysses Turner, professional McCarthyist

[Auroya]

"Of course we're hugely optimistic. There's no reason not to be. Under the rule of our party things have improved massively. Bring on whatever the future holds!"

--- Lady Evelyn v. Crimsonstein, NMP Leader

[Bojikami]

"People like you are why I never left the battlefield and continue to kill today."
-Demitri Kasparov, Stalinist

[Ardavia]

"Our two superstates are a hedonistic shamelessly imperialistic post-apocalyptic United States who prioritize mobility, and a shamelessly imperialistic post-apocalyptic Soviet Union ruled by Stalin in AI form who have excellent equipment for all their troops. The other major players are the Caliphate, islamistic bastards who have lots of cheap forces, the European Federation, pretty much the EU-gone-imperialistic with similar tech to the NFE, and the USSA, who don't deserve much mention because they don't really do much and no one likes to play them anyway. Then there's the Republic of Antarctica, which used to be a splinter of pre-War civilization, and today they're pretty much a part of Ardavia, meaning they provide a few units for that army list. Oh, and the Ardavians, but I don't need to mention them, do I, since you're already playing them? Yeah, those are the major factions. Now get to rolling."

~GM explaining Imperialism, a popular tabletop wargame, to a new player. Think WH40k with our canon factions.

[Greater Mackonia]

"The hypocrisy of the left is that by rallying against the upper classes they are only reinforcing the class system. Declaring things as simple as architecture to be 'too privileged' or 'too bourgeois', same meanings in their tongues but different eras, you merely further ingratiate the idea of artificial classes in peoples minds. If you truly want a classless society you don't go after the rich, you win them over through appealing to a common good."

-Lithastir Mythurin, Commissar of the Interior.

"Socialism is but the Capitalism of the poor. It only reworks the existing components of a capitalist system and capitalist ethics, the true anti-Capitalists of the 19th century were not the Marxist revolutionaries but the reactionary aristocrats and idealistic romantics seeking to preserve the rustic way of life. Any true replacement of Capitalism will require a far more radical worldview than merely reverse Capitalism."

-Z.Maglos.

[Saurisisia]

"The traditions of all the peoples of Saurisia must be preserved in the wake of poisonous globalism and cultural imperialism, the Saurisian races must be unified against such a cultural menace. We must draw against those who would wish to undermine Saurisian culture and be unwilling to give up our cultures and sacred traditions without a fight, on the battlefield or otherwise."
~ Adalhard Hoscht, reactionary leader within the Saurisian Conservative Party

[Avaerilon]

"There are merely three things any sane Avaerilonian ought to be afraid of; fire, flood and shortage of brandy-" Fereldonian philosopher Gwilym Doranethil's opening to his seminal work, The Mind of the Man in Avalon, published 1685 AD.

[Las Palmeras]

"Things from other dimensions do occasionally pop up, sometimes they're useless things...like empty boats or 5 empty TBM Avengers...or weird scraps of foil that when crumpled can retain back to their original shape. Sometimes more strange things occur. A boatload of smelly viking-like foreigners with pointy ears beached here in 1961...the Revolutionary Guard immediately took them for American spies, until they were placed in care of a mental institution.

Oh, and in 1966, a group of a somewhat rural secondary school members were frightened by pig-like goblins or orcs. Back in that day, drills were still mandatory, so as the students barricaded themselves in...their teacher and a volunteer shot one creature and pinned down the rest using old bolt-action rifles. The strange creatures were slain by the militia eventually. In exchange for reduced production quotas and some checks, the witnesses remained quiet.

Granted, all of this is secret."

[Amerikians]

"Welcome to the new America, terrifying sight, isn't it?" - A lowly bureaucrat before signing a few papers that utterly destroyed someone's life with the flick of a pen.

If people like us need people like him, it's only because of people like you.—LittleBoyBlue, forumgoer.

[Las Palmeras]

"The place I was born in was arid, the wind heated up and chapped your skin, you could even feel waves of heat. The skies were blue and only spare clouds appeared every once in a while. Some places were rocky and it took an effort to dig in, and others were sandy...so sandy that it took an effort to walk around. If the cold never bothered you, then you'll love it; there are no clouds to capture heat and there's hardly any vegetation to take shelter in."
-No Name

[Senyosu]

We have little concern for the political ideology here, as whatever works and gets the job done is highly more preferable than a squable over pathetic ideologues. Consensus democracy is also preferable, over the immature partisan nature of democracy.

Needless to say, our parliament often devolves into fist fights. Consensus is hard.


-Aoya Hirokō, secretary-

"Smothered by the blanket of revelry and sin, there lies faith and hope.

Light the blanket ablaze."

- Vice Commandant Joseph Alexander McHaek

[Greater Mackonia]

"Mr Mythurin I can assure you if you ever take actions against Christians and other religious minorities on the event that you'll ever come to power in this sick country of yours the United-"

"Mrs Ambassador would you legalise murder in your United States?"

"Why of course not, don't play philosop-"

"Would you allow Pedophiles to go un-punished and walk free?"

"Now you're just being vulgar."

"Then you have the reason why, once she re-gains her leadership, the Republic of Greater Mackonia will never allow Christianity to prosper on its soil. Your United States is welcome to protest, for that is all it ever does, but when I come to power I shall have my first act be to organise a purge-such a one this country has never seen, such a one it need be the last purge this country will ever see. In it ever Christian, Communist, Democrat, Creationist, Randroid, Radical Collectivist, Cultural Degenerate, Bigot, Subversive, Gene Traitor, Social Parasite, Evolutionary Mistake and other Propagators of Stupidity will be exterminated with ruthless and persistent vigor by the party of life. This is entirely on record. "

-A U.S dignitary (the actual Ambassador was expelled ages ago) and Lithastir Mythurin Commissar of the Interior. More obvious Foreshadowing for those who care.

[The Nexus of Man]

"The last person who threatened an antitheistic purge of religion was killed by a bunch of 13 year olds with guns.

Want to know the reason why they killed him? He burnt their weed. They were Rastafarian, albeit much less knowledgeable of Rastafarianism. Religion is impossible to kill here."

- Barney
