Quotes of people in your nation MK.II

[Pensalum]

"If you tell someone something enough times, they'll believe it." King Linus XVI (just before the Pensalum Revolution)

[Orellana]

"We knew things had been good before the Empire fell. We knew God had blessed us with a competent, capable monarch, and we had been lucky to have him, but we also knew his sons might not be as capable, competent, or compassionate. We also knew the palace revolt which had overthrown Pedro II and reduced us to an oligarchy would most likely happen again at some point, and we knew we had to avoid that."

~ President Omar Alcalde Jugo.

[Estainia]

"I will spill the blood of a million republicans if it waters the seeds of Delvoir," - Attributed to Henriette I.

"And a million more will hunt you; madame." - Cornelius Maximilian

(Before you yell at me, immortal, travels royal courts alot. )

[Saurisisia]

"Scream all you wish, you unwashed hooligan, few here care about your opinion. My coronation as King of Saurisia was supported by a considerably-sized grassroots political movement consisting of ordinary citizens who had grown tired of the idiocy of the politicians. Now, please, step to the side so I can enjoy my walk outside the Palace in peace." ~ King Charles Julius Tyrannus II

"Both the left and right wings of the spectrum are nothing more than whiny children who get caught up in the most idiotic of issues and who resort to childish namecalling and tactics that are just plain pathetic. All while claiming they care about it and saying the other side likes tyranny. It's little wonder the people want my family back in power." ~ Prince Charles Julius Tyrannus II on politics

"There's the door, now get the fuck out."

[Delvoir]

"This nation has outlived oligarchies, republics, socialists, communists, capitalists, Stalinists, Maoists, fascists, environmentalists, democracy, totalitarianism. It will outlive you all for many years to come," - The Baron d'Allimeré to a foreign student who had mocked the monarchy of Delvoir. Said student later mysteriously and tragically disappeared.

[Krupp]

"The nobility is superior to the peasantry, however believing this superiority to be secured by blood alone is a fool errand and will end with you up against the wall. To truly be superior to the lower classes one must embody the spirit of their nation. Oh, and stop with that incest thing, it doesn't help. Go marry nobles from other families, it'll make you both stronger in the long run."

~ Nobility: Domination and Mastery of One's Inferiors, widely regarded as Krupp's version of The Prince.

[Orellana]

"Don't trust your leaders. Trust your laws."

[Agymnum]

"Communist, Capitalist, Socialist - all the same to me. Pick your poison and let's get started." - Commissioned Officer Raleigh Howser to deep cover operatives participating in the overthrow of the Beta Prime-III government

"Capitalism was determined to be the most viable option. The Confederation's control of the corporations within the planet ensure that it will remain loyal indefinitely. The people's rampant consumerism - while distasteful for intellectuals such as ourselves - ensures they will remain blissfully ignorant and happy workers for millenia to come. I recommend we make the planet a source of troops for defensive operations, so that our own may be spared." - Report on Beta Prime-III following the establishment of the Colony of Beta Prime

[Delvoir]

"They can try," - The Vicomtesse du Bonté-Lorraine following news that usurpers were attempting to inspire revolution in the Delvoirian citizenry.

[Agymnum]

"The best thing that ever happened to the intelligence division was the advent of consumerism. No one rebels when everyone is too busy wasting away their brain cells on trivial toys and entertainment. Truly, consumerism must have been developed by the greatest operative of all time. I would love to meet him or her." - Commissioned Officer Gregory Bane Confederation Subterfuge Manual

[Gorgashia]

"No Dictator, King, President or whatever the hell else can represent a people, not even a percentage of them. The people must represent themselves as a whole, not through 'Representatives' for how can one man be the voice of hundreds?"

- Jonathan Cornwal, Socialist Orator, denouncing pretty much every other form of government besides Direct Democracy and Anarchy.

[Saurisisia]

"Direct democracy? Anarchy? You're joking, right?"
~ Ordinary citizen

"You think you expect us to adopt your system after the failure and the years of tyranny, strife, terror, and sorrow we have been through at the likes of people from your side of the spectrum? I suggest you walk away right now before I have to chase you out."
~ Bradley Davies, Mayor of Raptoropolis to a tourist from a left-wing nation

"Governors are among the most snobbish, selfish beings I have ever met. They are also among the most intelligent, thoughtful, and logical. What a paradox." - Commissioned Officer Andras Vasquez

[Saurisisia]

"You hate conservatives, eh? Well, boo-fucking-hoo, pal, that's your damn opinion."
~ Police officer to foreign tourist

[Delvoir]

"ANY AND ALL TALKING LIZARDE CREATURE TO ENTER YE NATION OF DELVOIR AND THE DELVAN DOMINIONS WILL BE STRUNG UPWARD BY THE FEETS AND BURNED AT THE STAKE FOR ITS PRESENCE AS A DAEMON OF HELL IN HONOUR OF GOD AND HIS MAJESTY THE KING." - The Daemonic Scrolls, 1223. Still active legislature.

-Emperor Heinrich I

[Agymnum]

"The problem with planetary governors is that every one of them has a mandate, and more often than not this mandate takes precedence over everything else, regardless of its actual importance." - Commissioned Officer Sara Hiten proponent of decentralized planetary rule, with multiple states existing within a single planet

"You boys just elected a socialist and a liberal, and by damn I'm gonna give you what you wanted!" - High Governor Robert Feldan Planetary Governor of Holt-II

"Governor Feldan... Perhaps I should call him 'God Almighty Feldan'? He seems to treat himself as if he's some sort of deity." - Brother Hope Yang Conservative candidate for Planetary Governor of Holt-II; lost to Robert Feldan

[Estainia]

"Nono, this is not how things work in this Empire; yes, Urbis Lumen is a great distance from here, but that does not change things. You will respect the laws and edicts of the Crown, which state that every peasant is entitled to certain basic rights, and that they are to be treated like free human beings; they are not your personal property, and as such you are hereby stripped of your rank, your titles and your lands...Guards; throw him to the masses; they'll love him." - Cornelius Maximilian on a visit to the Russo-Spanish Imperial Crown Colony of Acadia in 1764; the appointed lord-governor had been severely abusing his position of power; he was expectantly, torn apart, somewhat literally, by the crowd outside the governor's palace.

[Bojikami]

"While our Calvary stormed the steppes of east Asia sending Khan's hordes flying back, China was too busy repairing to loan any help. They depended on us then, just like the rebels do now."
-General Anthony, 1946

[Coccygia]

‘Have a knuckle sandwich, Tiffany¹, you BASTARD!’² - Rhapsody Ptomaine, Gentlemen Prefer Other Gentlemen<sup>3


1</sup>There is no particular reason to believe that this is a reference to Ms Tiffany Minks, currently Official Spokeswench for the RCLACMS⁴, despite her excessively public feud with Ptomaine.
²For some reason, this has become rather a popular catch-phrase in our nation.
³Ptomaine’s inexplicably popular and prize-winning⁵ book, which has been adapted as a stage play, a motion picture, a television programme, an animated film, an animated television programme, a graphic novel, a rather questionable puppet show, and a set of pornographic playing cards.
⁴The Royal Coccygian Language Academy Chowder and Marching Society.^6
5This at least is not inexplicable: to put it bluntly, it was due to bribery.
⁶Ms Minks has this (highly unofficial) comment about the RCLACMS: ‘Bunch of wankers.’

[Hockenberg]

"Mmm, this pony meat sure is good!"
-Warren Hughes, author, enjoying a burger
