Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

[Barboneia]

"...Erm... I know you are the general here, but don't you think it's a bit unwise to be tampering with an armed nuclear warhead?"

"I know what I'm doing."

"You clearly don't. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to cross those two wires."

"Oh please! It's not like the Soviets didn't install a way to shut it off in case it's about to go off. What's the worse that could happen if I cross these wir-"

- General Andreas Talo, Greater Barboneian Army, and an unknown officer, 1989. Both of them were killed in the ensuing blast, along with approximately 3,243 other people. Thankfully, the warhead went off in a secure underground bunker in The Northern Lands, and no radiation or damages exist on the surface. The area is now off limits.

[Auzkhia]

"The food on your plate now belongs to the state!"
-Unknown Revolutionary.

"If you really want to go anywhere in Auzkhia, all you need is a white van, hi-vi, and a fitting uniform depending on the circumstance. I recommend the labcoat, hard-helmet, and clipboard ensamble. It's the most versatile, however, an army officer's uniform will work just as well."
-Heinrich Erdély

[Euro Asian Republics]

"From 1949 to 1953, the Battle for the Red Line was fought between the forces of Euro-Asia and Estainia on one side, and Alisonia on the other; with the Alisonians working constantly to drive a wedge between the Eurasians and Estainians, to no avail. Throughout its course, the Battle had played host to several of the most audacious gambles of the whole Schayne Plains War: At Chopinburg, White Rock Fortress, and even Sankt Ark; each side tried to seize the initiative by surprise attack. However, the line would hold for both sides, and would remain at a stalemate for the entirety of the war; and even for the remainder of Alisonia's existence as an independent communist nation until its dissolving in 2006." - Opening narration on the third episode of the widely acclaimed military history documentary series Battlefield Rostil, in which the episode in question focused on the Battle for the Red Line, a demilitarized zone that stretched the border between Euro-Asia and Alisonia throughout the latter nation's existence as an independent communist nation

[Estainia]

So demilitarized that the entire border was the Maginot Line on steroids. The post Cold War ruins are a tourist destination, even.

"I lament this victory, the rose of Imperial Chivalry is destroyed here. Damn the Belkans." - Prince Viktor Yordanov after the Battle of Landsberg, Eurasia, during the early days of what would become the Great War, a Euro-Imperial victory at heavy costs to both sides and the near obliteration of more than a few Imperial Chivalric Orders

[Cumberlanda]

"If you have lost your sense of purpose, in the ever-fleeting glory, shimmering gold, fast horses, and beautiful women, then you are no better than your own slaves."

-Ka'te Khus, ca. 1201

[Even Less of Mackonia]

"It is a comforting, but ultimately false, belief that we are ruled by cynical careerists or some consortium of bankers who don't give a hoot about freedom and democracy. I assure you that if this were the case things would probably be a great deal better run. The men, women and assorted people of letters who rule us believe in their principles with all the veracity of a pope or mullah. They are not malevolent genii, they are benign fools. "

-Z.Maglos

[Bereia]

OOC: I do believe I've just seen a ghost. Hope to see you around regularly again soon, Est.

[New Frenco Empire]

"What's for dinner?"

"Something special. We're going to the Empire for it."

"The Empire? Bah! The only thing you'll find there is night clubs, lesbians, and the nineteen-twenties!"

"You'll also find the new Natural-Grown Beef industry! Harvested 100% from Outland-raised cattle, Chipley Farms beef is the freshest you'll ever eat!"

"Wow! Guess we're going to the Empire!"

-A vintage 2115 advertisement for Chipley Farms Natural Beef, featuring a couple doing an awful Russian accent. Chipley Farms would later be closed for health violations after hundreds of customers died from fatal doses of radiation linked to their product.

[Even Less of Mackonia]

"Racism is not needed for elitism, but it helps - especially if you're marketing elitism in a democracy. To accept the fact they are largely worthless fuel for the ambitions of greater men, the masses must be pointed to something even more worthless than themselves upon which their subjugation can be justified."

-Tseila Kathangi

[Troperia]

"If roses are red and violets are blue, then purple and blue are the exact same colour. And if it takes equal amounts of blue and red mixed together to make purple, purple is the same colour as red. And if purple is blue, red is blue as well. In that case, if yellow and blue make green, then blue, yellow and green are the same colour. And if blue is the exact same colour as red, red can also be green. In conclusion, all colors are the exact same colour and that Violetism is about colours. And yes, I know this is very confusing, but that's the truth."
-Alice Troper, Philosopher

[Liburia]

There are two kinds of slavery; physical and mental slavery. One may some day break the shackles and escape physical slavery but the same thing does not apply to mental slavery. If one thinks like a slave one will always be a slave.

A Liburian philosopher.

[Gigaverse]

*in the dullest tone possible* "Yay."

[Barboneia]

"So, honey, where should we go for vacation this year?"

"What about Barboneia? I hear it's lovely this time of year."

"Barboneia? Are you out of your mind, woman? They're all walrus-shagging liberal degenerates, and I can't speak Finnish!"

"Oh, they're nothing like that. They're accepting of everyone, and their government is actually somewhat moderate! Besides, I heard Paka... Pakau... Erm... Their capital, is quite nice this time of year! And they speak English as well."

"Well... I guess it might not be that bad... Fine! We'll visit Barboneia!"

"Barboneia; It's like Finland, but cheaper." - A Canadian couple in a television ad broadcast in North America, sometime in 2006.

"What a miserable sight. What idiotic pride prevents them from yielding?" - General Matthias Laberenz, on reviewing the shattered city of Severnaya after the battle to take it from the Pripyati Defense Force, The Ruthenian War

-Curator

[China and South Korea]

"Like the poorly-disguised globalist capitalist Josip Broz and his ability to create an ideology named after himself, as well as a corporate empire more terrifying than anything mainstream communism had ever managed to establish, Ratiarian fascists had robbed their Nation of the light of pure ideological guidance in order to focus on building a horrifying monster upon the name of Ultranationalism. If truly Ratiarians wish to be a civilized Nation, they must first React and completely subvert the current order in Chirgrad to install rightful representatives of the Nation's interests."

-Lt. Gen. Menta Rhee-Il

"There is no price too small to pay for Global Reaction and National Freedom."

-Shangjen Cheng, Eternal President of the People's Democratic Republic

"He who gives up the civil liberties of his fellow man for a little temporary security deserves to be jailed."

[Ashkera]

"Barboneia; It's like Finland, but cheaper." - A Canadian couple in a television ad broadcast in North America, sometime in 2006.

"Man, just look at that deer, chewing. What's it gonna do, chew grass at you to death? You could practically walk right up to it and - yup, no challenge there.

Want to relive the tense, life-or-death struggle of your ancestors and show that you're the real man you've always known you were by chasing some of the world's most dangerous game animals? There's an Adventure for that.

With ancient temples, historical reenactments, modern museums, hotspot cafes, and a kickin' nightlife, there are thousands of adventures to choose from, meaning Ashkera has the adventure for you. And with the lowest crime rates and best-rated public transport in Xawin, we'll help you get there. Travel packages start at just $399.

Ashkera. It's the Land of Adventure."
- narrator, television ad, USA, 1992

"The regime said that 'glamorizing hunting sports in Ashkera' might lead to 'foreign individuals taking on challenges beyond their skill level and sustaining serious injury or death as a result.' Now I know that forcing one your nation's companies to pull an ad campaign in another country might seem a little excessive, but this isn't the first time the Ashkeran regime has had to pull ad campaigns glamorizing the nation's hunting sports. There was also 2002, after almost fifty French people died. 1992, after nearly two hundred would-be American hunters were killed either by the animals themselves or by other American tourists desperately trying to shoot the animals. Then there was 1985, 1976, 1964, 1961, and 1956. After 2002, a memo was sent out suggesting that any ad campaign abroad glamorizing Ashkera's hunting sports should be reviewed by the Royal Family prior to publishing. So for once, I find myself sympathizing with the regime. We've finally found what their heavy-handed media censorship is to protect you from: wallabacks that you went to go hunt yourself."
