Quotes of people in your nation MK.II

[Delvoir]

"Republicanism is illegal in this nation, and any who perpetuate it find themselves sans head rather sharply," - the Lord-Judge of the Kingdom, the Comte de Soncordet, to a tourist who had dared to express pro-republican beliefs.

[Star Trek America]

"Those nations who yet remain in the past are doomed to the failure that our glorious revolution exposed them to. Nationalism, Liberty and Equality shall rise up from every crack in the facade, and every King and Emperor will be thrown down! The Monarchs will only last where the will of the people is weak, where the strong rise up against their oppressors there can be no victory for the so called nobles!" - Senator Jean-Marie Michaud; 1816, prior to his execution

[Wisconsin9]

Are we more or less scary now that we've figured out how to throw bits of metal so fast you can't hear them until they've already killed you?—Wisconsinite to a Xeklivian xenobiologist.

"I suppose less, since everyone can do that nowadays. We do it better, though, because our bits of metal leave holes the size of football fields."

-- The same Xenobiologist

Well, at least we've still got the whole "won't back down until everything you've ever loved is a pile of ash" thing going for us.—The same Wisconsinite.

[Krupp]

[Yiye]

Ponzi? What ponzi?

-Minister of Finance-

[Byzantium Imperium]

"That was the utmost perfect example of those who should not govern, but who should be governed. The army which cannot control its own soldiers, the nation which cannot control its own people; are not to be considered as organized or civilized, but indeed; fitting of the ancient definition of barbarism." - Sextilius Publius; Historian, a notion in his non-fiction novel Fall of the Russian Empire

---

"We went to the defense of liberty and freedom because no more were available than us. We rushed to the defense of the lesser peoples because while all the liberal democracies of the day decried us, they did not move to save anyone. We jumped into the trenches while the Ameri, Britannians and Euro-Asians ran away, we fought the Belkan menace who slaughtered women and children while their own soldiers mutinied and refused to move. They can hate us, but they cannot accuse us of not doing our part, and theirs; to defend the very ideas that we founded, and Napoleon's Revolution died for." - Valentinianus Silvanus; Roman Legate, First Rostilian War

[Orellana]

"They say they hate us, and I'm sure a good many of them honestly do, if mostly through ignorance and silly idealism, but even the ones who honestly despise us don't scream too loudly. Why? Because while they hate us, in their guts they know we're the only ones who really ever get anything done. They live their quiet, idealistic lifestyles able to experiment in Social Democracy and mindless gobbledygook like that because we are here to make the hard choices they can't make or just won't, and deep down? They know it."

~ Major General Izek Anaya Pérez, C.S.A.

[Wisconsin9]

Jesus Christ, can I get some aspirin or something?—Anonymous soldier waking up in a field hospital; he sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

[Tarvelia]

Jesus Christ, can I get some aspirin or something?—Anonymous soldier waking up in a field hospital; he sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

"No... but I can get you some anesthesia and an emergency bullet extraction!"

-Dr. Sulie Mkhenvani, Tarveli-immigrant doctor working at that field hospital.

[Krupp]

"To Major General Amsel and those who follow his military philosophy, a soldier is as expendable as the rifle he carries and costs less to replace. This kind of almost comedic disregard for human life is how one ascends to any high rank in Krupp."

~ Krupp: A Nation at Arms by Alfred Faust, a Krupp Noble who defected to the Alliance for Freedom

[Gorgashia]

"We cannot allow the class traitors, with their greed and rampant materialism, to fester within our society! As such, all working men and women must maintain eternal vigilance over the revolution and the Vanguard is the focal point of that vigilance!"

- Anonymous public speaker of the Vanguard.


(For those not in the know, the Vanguard is a somewhat secret society in the People's Protectorate. They show themselves off as nothing more than a highly organised national militia made up of only Socialists, and they are. But, what most of the public isn't aware of, is that they actively try to hunt down and eliminate people who promote rightist views in Gorgashia and even fund left-wing terrorists in other countries. In short, the Vanguard are a bunch of close-minded, left-wing zealots that usually use violence to drown out opposition).

---

"Let it be known that killing people in 'defense of the revolution' will not be tolerated in the People's Protectorate. It is the duty of the law, and those that uphold the law, to ensure the safety of all people under the law."

- Police Chief Jorgen Marick, denouncing violence against the right-wing of Gorgashia by overzealous elements of the left and launching an initiative to crack down on it. He was found murdered (by the Vanguard) a week after making this statement.

---

"Bah, let those damn reds lash out their temper tantrums. I'll be waiting for them with a loaded gun in my hand and a prayer on my lips."

- William Vance, Farmer and one of the few remaining right-wing advocates in Gorgashia.

[Kravlika]

Who said we were authoritarian capitalists? We are probably the only capitalists that make sense. Religion and spirit crap only prevents capitalism no?

-Maria Szewolki, Minister of Finance-

[Orellana]

"If that is what Communism represents, and if that is what those who push the doctrines of Marx and Engels stand for, then I will be against it until the day I finally die."

~ Representative Irma Archer Portillo, on her first day in office.

---

"To insure diversity, we must all think, do, and say alike? No, thank you. I am more than a component, a cog in some machine. I'll keep my individuality, even if it offends people.

~ Jaslene Herrington, Thoughts on Life.

[Delvoir]

"I think that, since they lack the drive and initiative to do anything else with their life, the poor like being poor, and thus they must be imbeciles by nature. It is not their fault that they must be at the bottom of the pile - someone has to be, after all. - His Highness the Prince Louis-César Renault Armand, Comte de Guetté-sans-Lurrenè in a letter to his mother, the sister of the King, Her Royal Highness the Princesse Marie Victoire Sophie Adelaide Louise, Duchesse de Casque.

The poor never like being poor. True Capitalism makes sure everyone has a chance of being rich... We ensure that by encouraging and making incentives for the poor to pull themselves up.

-Matjas Magar, CEO of Kravlika Air-

[Orellana]

"I have always preferred the company of people who were born poor, and have since made their way up through hard word, faith, and some luck. They're the best people around if you ask me."

~ Representative Irma Archer Portillo.

"The so-called "noble class" of any monarchist nation, especially in a nation such as Delvoir, has to be one of the most ironically and erroneously named social classes in the world. Their name implies high levels of intelligence, class, compassion, and grace. All too often, these people have none."

~ Jaslene Herrington, Thoughts on Life.

[Kravlika]

An educated and well armed populace ensures true progress and freedom

-Anon-

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Of course the people have the right to critcize my decisions and stand in the street yelling loudly. It lets me know what the citizens want. But try to harm me and my family or sabotage my projects, I will have my secret police make sure you were never born."

-Dictator Edwin Pilkington

[Bojikami]

"Its funny, giving the populace guns decreased murders instead of increasing them..."
-Bojikami Citizen

[Xekliv]

"What the fuck is that thing?"

"I have no idea, but it looks like christmas."

-- Two Legionnaires on the XCL34-SFD-2 Prototype Heavy Energy Plasma Caster

[Dremono]

This shall some day be a mighty nation.. and this shall be a mighty quote. -President Vorchacev.

[Kravlika]

"I have always preferred the company of people who were born poor, and have since made their way up through hard word, faith, and some luck. They're the best people around if you ask me."

~ Representative Irma Archer Portillo.

The poor are the nicest and the most caring of people... they are also the most ambitious

-Chancellor Mazlov, 1994-

[Bajireyn]

"Human beings are scary. They breathe a corrosive gas, drink one of the most potent solvents. Their preferred method of hunting was persistence hunting, where they chased animals until the prey's body simply gave up and died. They can eat just about anything they find, which means that they don't need to stop for food when chasing their prey. If they can't find food, that's fine. Their body will simply begin to eat itself so that they don't have to stop chasing their prey. They walk upright, they sweat, they don't have much body hair, which allows them to radiate away their body heat. This means that excessive time or extreme environment wont stop their hunts. If the animal fights back against them, they can take massive damage to their extremities and lose half their blood and still live. Their entire existence is owed to persistence, endurance, and determination. When they put themselves to a task, it gets done, period. And this instinct is still affecting them today."

-- Xeklivian xenobioligist on humanity

"...and not only that, but Humanity is also the chosen sucessor to the Forerunners Mantle and technology, as evidenced by the fact that no other species has yet been shown to operate any type of Forerunner technology in the same capacity as a human."

-- Bajireyn anthropologist on Humanity

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Humanity sucks. They are unintelligent overgrown primates that have self-destructive tendencies. Their civilization is is a flotsam in the great sea of history. However they have one thing we cannot have....pants."

-A Velociraptor Antropologist on Humanity
