Quotes of people in your nation MK.III

[Estainia]

"The word 'Muggle' annoys me severely. I by far prefer 'Normal', and that is the word you will all use, or I will personally teleport you to southern Wales and drop you in to the middle of that motley bailey's lake." - Cornelius Maximilian, addressing 'proper etiquette' to first year students to the Academy, yet again drawing his thin line between the differences between what was accepted between the establishment and the British approach.

[Wisconsin9]

Maybe someone who could establish open relationships with aliens was one of the nine hundred and eighty million people worldwide who were killed last time we made contact. I guess we'll never know, will we?—Anonymous, to a foreign forumgoer criticizing (literal) xenophobia in the CSW.

[Massena]

"Man for man, he with more troops will win the battle as he will have more troops at the end."

-- Domas Crypttrust

[Ardavia]

"Listen closely. I'm only going to go through this once, and you better remember what I said, or you'll inevitably fail your final exam. There is no better way to win a battle or a war than by making the enemy surrender, out of fear or whatever reason. The reason does not matter. The result matters, that you have defeated your enemy and established a grip which he will have much harder to defeat than he would have had to defeat you in the moment before you made him surrender, but most importantly, you have your forces remaining.

Intimidation is the best way to do this, and unless the enemy is very fanatical, that paired with a technological or numerical advantage can make even the bravest soldier take a piss in his pants. That is why we use weapons like the LG-85 Fenrir to shred his infantry, that's why we deploy the M7A5 tank to roll over his infantry and defences, that's why we don't just send in super-practical infantry and crush everything, instead using semi-practical weapons that intimidate them as much as possible. Of course, a few hundred soldiers in power armor also intimidate him, but they are much harder to replace. A new soldier has to be trained for a long time. A new robotic unit just needs to be programmed with the pre-made coding and that takes less than a second".

~An Instructor at a military officers' academy

[Souriya Al-Assad]

- Comrade Bashar Che Al-Assad

[New Tsavon]

"Are these foreigners fucking serious?"

-- König Reinhard Hagen III, on many an occasion

(Totally not related to the above...."quote"...no, not at all)

[The 4 Warrior Clans]

"Winning a war is everything in human society. They pillage, rape, plunder, murder, commit genocide, and all of these atrocious actions. We, we do not do this. We fight with honor and loyalty to our respective clans. In the times of the Old, we did kill innocent kits and elders. But now, the Code bounds us together. And this, this is why we have survived."

Moonstar, leader of WindClan during the Middle Times.

[Greater Mackonia]

"Rule through fear is the easiest power to gain, and the easiest power to loose, for nothing will make a man obey you more then the threat of death, and nothing will subdue his hate whence that fear disappears".

-Drematava Alvexion.

[West Alaska]

Today is the day ladies and Gentlemen. Today is the day that we fought for. Today is the day our brothers and sisters died for. Today is the day of West Alaskan Independence! The US Government Agreed to hand over the land in a bid to end the war! The People of West Alaska won against American Tyranny! Today The War of Independence is over!

Welcome to the new age of the West Alaskan Empire! - President George Michael Quinn, of West Alaska.

[Xekliv]

"I sent one of my bodyguards back in time to get some DNA of Emeril Lagasse so that I could clone 14 versions of him and have them be my chefs. I did this the day I became emperor. It was amazing."

-- Emperor Praxis Marr III

[Bojikami Empire]

"Magic-using or not, they are still human beings. And I will not allow you to degrade these people to be like filthy animals."
-Emperor Morthal to a slaver moments before his execution.

[Estainia]

"The leader that abandons their station or hides in a hole while their people suffer is not a leader, that is a coward and their replacement is utmost paramount to the nation. If you take up the mantle to lead a people, you agree to lead them through light and dark, feast and famine, and if you run, you agree to die for it like any other traitor." - Cornelius Maximilian

[Jameson Island]

"Fumetsu is dead. His government, his regime, his oppressive ways have all died with him."
-President Ishimaru Kazuma, current leader of communist Japan.

[Comrade Commisar]

"If I am to lead, I shall lead by example; by marching with my men as they approach the battlefield. Should a leader reside within his command post for the duration of the conflict, or forbid, thousands of miles away from the field of battle, he may be considered a 'leader' - but not by me, not by my men. If one is not willing to strive within the conditions he expects of others, nor the conditions of which he has created, directly or otherwise - then what is he? We call him that of a coward, of a malingerer, and of expecting of nothing more of the most violent, brutal torture - for death is but the fruits of the horrible suffering of life, and he has not earned such relief."
- Admiral Aaron Sharpe

"People are filthy animals; murdering, killing, pillaging, raping, and entailing of every other horrific deed that humanity has enacted upon this damned earth - of course, people do not see it that way. They think of it as 'liberating', 'peacekeeping', spreading 'civilization', and 'freeing the people' from their suffering. Whenever we are called to go to war, I do not think of it as such, because when it all boils down to it, I am just some aggressive, stuck-up bastard stabbing a lesser aggressive, stuck-up bastard in the gut and twisting the blade. I think people like Sharpe and Braddock see it the same way as well, because in the end, the only thing seperating a hero and a genocidal maniac is the person still alive to tell the tale."
- Admiral Amelia Winters

[Great Anthenia]

"How dare you! I could be just like all of the other emperors and kings out there, I could turn a blind eye to your troubles and let the lords, barons, and dukes injustice you as they please, but I do not. I constantly argue with them to not make the taxes astronomically high, or not to execute a man whom is obviously innocent. I go through hell and back for you people, and this is how you repay me?!"
-Emperor Harvey Braddock during the Irish rebellions.

[Auzkhia]

"Good thing we don't have political parties."
-Empress Katharina while visiting a foreign land.

[Estainia]

"We compromised in our marriage once. They called it Pompeii." - Cornelia Maximilian, on marital compromise.

[Augustine Rome]

"Adolf Hitler killed between seven and eleven million people and was declared enemy of humanity for all time. Josef Stalin killed at least twenty three million people and was hailed as a hero of human life... Ask yourself; who was the bad guy, again?" - Julius Atius Corburso

[Bojikami]

"Adolf Hitler killed between seven and eleven million people and was declared enemy of humanity for all time. Josef Stalin killed at least twenty three million people and was hailed as a hero of human life... Ask yourself; who was the bad guy, again?" - Julius Atius Corburso

"Hitler. Why you ask? Because he was a fascist, a Nazi, and Germany was a member of the Axis. People will always turn a blind eye to the atrocities of the victor, because the victor is always made out to be the good guy, no matter how horrible he was."
-Antony Belinsky

[Augustine Rome]

The gray and grey scale of the morality of it all went over your head, I see.

"We don't hide we have been tyrants. We want you to see the full picture of exactly who it is you want to be friends with when you consider us. We are brash and arrogant, for good reason, we are proud and we have commanded substantial parts of the world entire. We have been a beacon of evil, and the torch of good. We are not strawmen, and our ideologies change with the seasons as all men do. Simply because we are old does not mean we are archaic." - Julius Atius Corburso
