~ General Elena Trotskaya

[Las Palmeras]

"Many ethnocentric groups regard Las Palmeras as sponsoring what they refer to as cultural genocide in the name of National Unity, even if 2 centuries of collective repression more or less forced people to mingle further out of need. Mutual dependency and civic cooperation for nationwide goals are the conditions the Palmeran abstract demands, and the promise is material prosperity akin to the Chinese Socialist Cat musing.

The abstract ideology oddly also makes rivals out of otherwise 'friendly' neighbors like Brazil and Mexico, which the Unity theory sees as either too non-integrating or too colonialist in terms of race relations, even if all seem to think positively of race-mixing. The Palmerans simply seem to have developed a very structured protocol to classes...closer to 'ranks' in their case which inappropriately lead to them being called stratocratic."
-Tsuneko Nagi/Zorilla's notes

[Soradine]

Prepare for Trouble,

[Las Palmeras]

*translated* "We just did our part for the Allied cause. No different than the Brazilians in Italy or that Mexican squadron. And they were only 800 men tops, our commitment was mostly specialized.

The Brazilians or Mexicans didn't wear the enemy's uniform to confuse or raid them, nor did they execute captives. They didn't use the enemy's weapons to frame said enemy's countrymen. They also didn't run heroin from Asia to America to cover their expenses. Those over-800 men did do all of that and more if those rumors about hostages in Rota are worth believing.

*translated* Yeah well...ehh...it bought the Allies closer to victory. And that's something your all-American Boys wouldn't have done. Not in the 40s at least.

What made all this go public now- apart from you being an old man?

*translated* Eh, the Cold War is over and we're the Americans' lackeys now too anyways. Besides the Premier's daughter-in-law proves that maybe we should also be more open with old things. Her people planned to screw us over, but we actually did that to them first. So why not? But you won't find any glory at all, not like in your buckaroo movies.

... We'll be back with more interviews from the Palmeran's Dirty World War following these commercial messages."
