Quotes of people in your nation MK.III

[St Eligius Island]

-Reverend Orion Rogers, to his wife, when his Church was vandalized with the words "MODERNIZE!" in rainbow spray paint.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born in 1952 in Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg, at the heart of the Soviet Union. His family has personal ties to Lenin and Stalin. He served in the KGB between his graduation from Leningrad State University in 1975 to 1991, when he resigned on the day of the KGB-backed coup. As the KGB and the Communist Party would no longer be a sure road to office in the state, Mr. Putin entered politics. Like many newly retired KGB officers, he used his connections and trained skill set to rapidly gain prominence in the new Russian society. He is a thug in a land of thugs. He is a man whose actions are driven by power, not by principles. To appease his like is simply to make the problem worse."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

"Some people really just totally flabbergast me. I once had the misfortune to encounter an individual rallying on about how the oppressive Roman Catholic church needed to open the halls of it's priesthood to women; then turn around to lambast an artist for portraying a Native American woman in a 'war bonnet' which apparently are only allowed to be worn by men. Now, I could be wrong, or just really naive, but I really fail to see a difference between the two. " - Councilperson Harris

[Bavaria-Prussia]

"Sir,

It has come to the attention of this Federal Government that on the 7th day of December, 1941, naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan launched a surprise attack against military and civilian locations and personnel on the American island of Hawaii. On the same day, forces of the Empire attacked British forces at Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Given the close relations between us and the British and American nations, we cannot but find these actions to be wholly unacceptable.

In light of the recent actions by your government, I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that the President has asked the Congress to declare a state of war, and that they have acceded.

With sincere regrets,
Gerard Lemaes, Secretary of State."

-- Gerard Lemaes, Secretary of State to President Randolph Wilson, in a letter to the Japanese Embassy in 1941.

[Sejaresia]

Peace is not just mere words. It is enforced through the proper use of military might and alliances.

[Dalcaria]

"The atheists are equally as deluded as the religious. Neither has the intelligence, nor the ambition, to see that ethnically pure, human Dalcarians are gods. Or at the very least, it is our birth right to become gods."

-Philosophy of House Black.

"She stood there, staring at the field before her, carefully calculating the battle. Demons, zombies, and other creatures unnatural to our world charged head on to us. But there she stood, at the brunt of the fight, defiant to those who threatened to conquer our land. Queen Jessamine Clarion is everything the nation needed in a leader, everything it needed in a warrior. Her flaming sword was the Inquisitors, and her majestic shield was her new Imperial Army. Of course, we must never forget the helmet which protects both the monarchy and the nation; the Royal Guards."

-Description of Queen Jessamine Clarion and her part in the Great Demon War.

"I've been called a dictator, and I do not deny being one. But I have shut down the death camps of the old regime, given equal rights to EVERYONE in my nation's borders, and I have worked tirelessly to eliminate House Black and all other forms of racism and violence in Dalcaria. I may be a dictator, but I will not be called a tyrant. I fought, risked my life, and have dedicated my life to saving the lives of all Dalcarians, and all other living beings across our planet. I'm only a tyrant as long as those calling me that are fools."

-His Excellency, new Grand Chancellor James Tiberius Byron Bond, on being accused of tyranny by parliament supporters.

[Carcorodine]

"No Carcorodine Monarch has lived past their 50th birthday. I am currently 37, so I figure that the fact that I have yet to suffer some sort of massive heath issue, like most of my predecessors, is a good sign. At the very least, it'll allow me to go out in battle with more dignity than dying peacefully in my sleep. I figure I'll also take a few people down with me."

- King Rezquirl (Deceased), a few months before technically dying in battle. There was a battle going on and he died while in it, but nobody's quite sure how he died or whether it was due to a medical condition or not. They just know that suddenly his heart literally exploded inside his chest.

"Impunity: n.
Wealth"
-Garios

[Horizont]

"In two different moral systems, nobody is to say which one is better or worse. There is nothing to objectively judge morals against- it is all purely subjective. It is foolishness of the highest level to assume otherwise."

---Erika von Hartmann

[New Frenco Empire]

"Let's get all those homophobic types to watch Cloud Atlas. Frobisher and Sixsmith made a cute couple, and this coming from a straight man. An insensitive asshole at that."

-GrimRapist, one of the few times he isn't making offensive jokes or other typical Internet jackassery

[Estainia]

"You know... I'm not sure if it's funny, or just sad. I've killed more men than will ever live on this planet, I've scourged worlds of life entirely, and yet in all of my murder, in all of the terrible, horrendous things I've done, I pale in comparison to the way Man twists Evil." - Cornelius Maximilian

[Greater Mackonia]

"Beware of this creed; for it mandates the clawless are good for being born without claws and those who love life must hate it to be saved"
