Quotes of people in your nation MK.III

[Fatatatutti]

"In Fatatatutti the rum tastes like gasoline and the gasoline tastes like rum. However, they are not interchangeable. The rum doesn't have a high enough octane rating to be an efficient fuel and the gasoline is too expensive to drink."

-- excerpt from The Tourist Guide to Fatatatutti

"Ingredients: rum, artificial colouring and flavouring"

-- label on a bottle of Fatatatutian Scotch

"Ingredients: rum"

[Katalonua]

"In a word? Hatred. The Katalonuan Civil War was hatred given a face. Just look at the propaganda posters. 'Burn the Communist disease!' 'Tear the cloak of Nationalist oppression apart!' Neither side talked of their own greatness, they spoke only of the terror that was the opposing side. Everyone who wasn't a Communist or Nationalist flocked not to the faction they likes the most, but the one they hated the least. There's a reason the most iconic image of the civil is of a NatRoy soldier and RevPar revolutionary brutally tearing each other apart in a burning building. Only men who completely despised one another could fight like that. That's what the Katalonuan Civil War was. I do not claim it was the most bloody or horrific or intense, other nations have us beat in that regard. But if you ever wanted to see a war that was fuelled solely by mindless hate, look to Katalonua."

- Ahu Ahulani, Leader of the National People's Party of Katalonua (because retcons). On the Katalonuan Civil War.

[Ruridova]

"I despise the use of the term 'pro-life' by anti-abortion advocates. I always have. If you support guaranteeing that a child is born, but you don't support guaranteeing that said child has clean water, food, sanitation, medicine, or education, you are not pro-life. You are pro-birth. You will only fight so long as they remain in the womb, and as soon as they enter the world, you couldn't give a damn about their life because it's 'not your place to interfere' or some shit like that. And I especially despise it when these 'pro-life' are small government types. Because giving starving children food is government overreach, but forcing doctors to stick ultrasound wands up a woman's vagina while dictating to them how they'll act with regard to their medical decisions isn't."
- Jacques Stuart

[Nyumbani]

"Abortion is an issue that will never be solved internationally. There will be ones who support it, and ones who will fight against it. And that quote about 'existing, not living' is bull. At least, realistically."

Nyumbanese Teacher in Gazi

[Multifarity]

"In a way I wish we had a 'pro-life' organization in Multifarity...
Just so I could turn up at their meetings and sell them all pyramid schemes... It'd be like a reverse-Mensa."

-Ezekiel Thrombosis, noted satirist

[Bojikami]

"What many people do not understand is that there is a difference between being assertive and being aggressive."

"Communist and socialist ideals can never really be forced upon someone. Every human is entitled to their own ideals, sadly my comrades in Russia, Poland, Hungary and in much of eastern Europe fail to understand this."
-Anthony Regovishki

[Paginista]

"Fear is the mere absence of security" Common motto found on the streets

"A strong government can only be made with a strong army" Motto of military administrators

"Medals are a way to make our men fight harder"- Lt General Leonardo

"All men are equal, And all equally oppressed"- the late President Valkamov of Paginista in his most private moments

"Democracy and freedom is second to economic power" - Unknown

"Our wings are seen yet hidden all over the world"- Motto for stealth fighter pilots

"I Pledge that we shall never see war we created. We will not become an aggressor to another nation. But I pledge those who dare attack our lands, Sink our trader ships, Kill our men and rape our women, Pillage our cities and burn our crops. They will no longer be accepted. They will no longer be tolerated. We will crush them under our boots. Even as we speak our mightiest fleets manned by our greatest men and women to expunge the pirate cancer that is upon our seas. And soon enough the cancer will wither and die" Admiral Silverkinn at the launch of the Paginista's new super carrier.

"Suicide is the ruin of the poor and the luxury of the nobility"

-Rhismyr Xscalavon, Poet.

[The Grand World Order]

"Do you honestly think people are freer in your country? Are you that childish? Your people get information that has been censored- not by the government, but by the companies that give it to them, who most certainly have a motive other than spreading information. Your people's behaviors, lifestyles, even political beliefs- yes I know you have laws against that but really, you can't legislate mentality and a trained monkey could find more than one way around them- are regimented and dictated by employers, without whom your people would be dying on the streets. Your people dress a certain way, talk a certain way, and think a certain way, because they fear repercussions from an unflinching oligarchy of multinational billionaires- and let's not forget that these very same men funded your campaign for office, and smeared your alternative parties in return for favors. Your country is just at totalitarian as mine, Herr Präsident." -Guard Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret.) Sir George Orwaltz, Acting Head of Foreign Affairs

[Ardavia]

"Ugh, I'm going to be sick..."

*recording interrupted by vomiting noises and the narrator bending over and spilling his lunch on the ground*

"Anyway, we've just come over a mass-grave where the 22nd Assault Regiment have been fighting, filled with what seems to be rotting corpses of insurgents. As it happens, the 22nd Assault Regiment are Shock Marines, the supposedly best of the Empire. Citizens, should we let our government continue to give the green light to operations such as this? In this pit, mutilated corpses of men, women and children are decaying, slaughtered in their homes by our soldiers. This murderous so-called 'war' has been going on for nearly six months now, and hundreds of thousands have been murdered. Why? Why are Ardavian soldiers exterminating innocent citizens? Paranoia, that's why.

The government fears that someone might start a resistance or a rebellion, so they're ordering our armies to exterminate everyone in case one of them might decide to rise up. Should we accept this, fellow citi...?" *recording ends with the sound of gunfire*

~An unknown freelance reporter, mid-2292. Following this report being broadcasted by a pirate station onto national TV, he moved away from the country before he could be arrested on suspicion of treachery. He was later pardoned, but has yet not re-surfaced.

~ SCTD Maj. Brutus Avanti

[Xekliv]

"What are you doing?"

"Building a time machine, obviously."

"What, that thing?"

"No shit, what the fuck else would it be?"

"Do you even know how to build a time machine?"

"No, of course not! No one does! That's why we're going into the future to ask how! Dumbass..."

-- Two Imperial legionaries

[Auzkhia]

"The terms pro-life and pro-choice are all nice sounding words that politicians like, but really, the terms should be "Pro-Abortion" and "Anti-Abortion."
-A rather blunt Auzkhian.

[Multifarity]

"The terms pro-life and pro-choice are all nice sounding words that politicians like, but really, the terms should be "Pro-Abortion" and "Anti-Abortion."
-A rather blunt Auzkhian.

"Those would both be entirely misleading and inaccurate descriptions.
They would imply an argument between people who like abortion and people who don't.
No one likes having an abortion, it's not a fun experience. So the aim of the 'pro-choicer' is to ensure that abortion is safe, legal and rare. Meaning that they would not fit into the 'pro-abortion' category, I'm not sure anyone would.

The argument is in fact between people who like humans to have basic rights regarding the control of their own body, and those who learned biology by misunderstanding a scene in 'Fantastic Voyage,' and as a result think that by the age of 3-months fetus's are capable of rudimentary accountancy.

So 'pro-choice' and 'anti-rights' or 'pro-choice' and 'pro-willful-ignorance-of-scientific-fact.' Would be better sets of terms to use."

-Toots Macintosh, nurse
(Not sure if you were joking.)

[Antarticaria]

"They claim we are the same as them, they couldn't be more wrong, we don't strap explosives to our children and shoot our women and we fight to protect theirs."
- Kristiana Kilash Pilot Trainer in the Royal Antarticarian Airforce.

"Guns are never the problem except in extreme cases, it was who was using them and unlike some nations we understand this."
- Civil Rights Major in College

"The project really is coming along well, it is so big not like we could hide it anyways but I imagine the three hulled sub cruise would be beneficial to our tourism"
- Brilliant Design Leader Chris Nimco of Antarticarian Mechanicus Design Firm.

"We aren't isolationists, we just keep our discussions over alcohol, guns and not massive import charts when we meet with our neighbors"
- Dan Patrishov a Antarticarian Ambassador at a foreign military meeting.

[Bezombia]

"We are not allied with the Soviets. You see, the Soviets are allied with us."

[Carcorodine]

"Female takes green pill. Male takes blue pill. Wait 5 minutes. Have sex. 100% NO BABY. Effect minimum 3 hours. Maximum 6. Side effect: need to pee when wears off. No other side effects. HAVE A NICE DAY!!!"

- A very simplistic 'How To Use Contraceptives' pamphlet handed out to peasants, along with actual contraceptives. Carcorodine contraceptives are extremely advanced, as the society of Carcorodine has a lot of casual sex.

[Auzkhia]

"Rumpletweezer ran the Dinky Tinky shop in the foot of the magic oak tree by the wobbly dumdum bush in the shade of the magic glade down in Dingly Dell. Here he sold contraceptives and ... discipline?... naked? ... With a melon!?"
-An unknown Auzkhian reading (unknowingly) a compilation of fanfictions of children's stories.

[Bereia]

"Poverty and reliance on the state are loathsome conditions, ones in which nobody should long allow themselves to remain given a choice."

-- President J. Calvin Holbrook.

[Estainia]

"While I have a deep seated respect for Gandhi, one must understand he got away with what he did because the British Empire had very much mellowed out by his time, and furthermore he came post-Company Rule, had the East India Trading Company still be running things? They would've just shot him, shoved his body in a ditch and continued oppressive business as usual." - Cornelius Maximilian

[Ruridova]

"It's simply a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he should lift himself up by his bootstraps. It is even worse to tell a man to lift himself up by his bootstraps when you create a socioeconomic situation where he who never had to pull himself up is standing upon the boot."
- Sir Thomas Beveridge, 1933
