[Saurisisia]

"The blessings of Saurus the Sun God be bestowed onto you, John Horridus, son of peasants and the greatest consul the Saurians have ever known. The Saurians are a proud race, descended directly from the Dinosaurs who had dominated the earth for over a hundred million years, and are an industrious, creative people with a great military prowess who have told countless stories of the great achievements of their ancestors. After countless millennia of strife and bitter division, the great Tyrannus Julius Sharptoothus led a group of refugees to flee from the powerful city-state of Thera to found the city named after the King of the Gods. First a monarchy and then a republic, the Saurian nation expanded rapidly, encompassing much of the Reptilian continent by the year 1000 AD. Rising out of the ashes of political chaos and bitter civil war, the new republic emerged more powerful than its predecessor and it was the Saurian state itself that eventually subdued its rivals and became modern Saurisia with you at the helm of this great change. You died in 1678, unable to see the mighty economic and military power that Saurisia has become.

"Great Consul Horridus, your people look up to you to once again lead them to a glorious new age. Will you forge a cultured civilization that will focus on trade and diplomacy or will you conquer your foes through force and lead a Saurian Empire that will expand the globe? Can you build a mighty Saurian nation that will stand the test of time?"
~ Intro for the Saurian civilization in the Civilization V: Saurisia mod that was developed by a gaming developer that is known for making strategy games

"May you live long and prosper, Mckenzy Tandi, fair Empress of the Frenkish people. The New Frenco Empire has earned it's spot as the rightful successor of the North American landmass. Emerging from destructive nuclear war and bloody revolution, the Frenkish people are a hard-nosed, cynical one who only care about their own advancement and pleasure. This self-indulgence has paid off, as the Frenks have earned a reputation as pioneers of culture and science. Perhaps most importantly, however, the Empire is also known for it's extreme military power and effectiveness. The Empire has been a target for many, be it militarily or culturally. Much to their foes dismay, however, none have managed to overtake it.

Empress Tandi, your beauty, competence, and intelligence have won many a friend. Your ruthlessness and cold effectiveness have destroyed many an enemy. Will you rise to the challenge, and lead the New Frenco Empire to glory, whether it be advancing armies from one end of the world to another, or leading your populace to a life of comfort and sophistication, or using your great nation's many technological achievements to revolutionize the field of scientific progress? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?"

-Intro for the Frenkish Civilization in Civ12, which was recently released. The game is unique in the fact that Chairman Hightower was replaced as the Frenkish leader with Tandi.

"Greetings and long life to you, Natasha Romanova, Queen of the Estainians and Alisonians and Empress of the Imperials. At your command stands the Russo-Spanish Empire, once a world power the Empire has long passed its greater days of glory, but under your guiding hand were the customs of the Empire restored, her people's faith in her government given life once more and the proud traditions of the Imperial people risen up from the ruinous oppression and apathetic rules of your uncle and mother, respectively. While your rule was a short one, comprising only the years of nineteen eighty-eight to two-thousand four, there is no doubt in the minds of the world what an impact you had on your people, revolutionizing the nation's industry, revitalizing her arts, letters and military; once more bringing the Russo-Spanish Empire back to the world stage...

O'Mighty Empress, your people call out to you once more, to restore the once again fading glory of their lands, your empire. Can you once more take up the reigns of power, can you revitalize the lands and bring about your glorious golden age once more? Can you, Great Empress, build a civilization to stand the test of time?" - Intro for a mod of a mod on the Estainian Civilization in Civilization V: Brave New World, the mod itself does not defer to the Natashan Golden Age but the current regime whose intro is thus;

"Cornelius Maximilian, Grand Regent and Chancellor of the Russo-Spanish Empire; you are not loved by your government though your people do love you. They honor you by regarding you with the epithet The Great in honor of your many achievements in a very short time. You took control of a failing Russo-Spain, whose armies were fresh from assisting most dishonorably in the subjugation of Belkaland, your nation's venerated friend and ally, and of the annexation of Euro-Asia, that great nation to your people's south, comprised of your children and grand children. While the strength of your nation has been squandered on petty conquest, you are credited with returning the Empire to greatness once more. Even now as you wage war on the monstrous state that consumed Belkaland, Birkaine, do you also build up the industries of the Empire along with bridges, dams and the Empire's very first school system.

Great Regent, your work is not yet done, your people demand you stay a while longer and guide them to an ever brighter and mightier future. Can you, renown scholar and magician, build and maintain a civilization to stand the test of time?" - The actual intro for the Estainian Civilization mod.

"Nestor Debbs, librarian, revolutionary and leader. Your humble beginnings only made your memory all the more inspiring to the people you led. While your rule was short, the force its impact is still felt decades afterwards. It was you who created the movement that would become the Second Gorgashian Revolution, it was you who laid the foundations of the modern Gorgashian state and it was you who forged the Socialist ideology Gorgashia still holds to this day. What would take men decades, you accomplished in a year through your dedication to your nation and determination to see your people rise higher than their masters ever were. While the era of Socialist revolutions has ended, Gorgashia still stands proudly by your ideals as a shining example of the Socialist movement whose very motto is your revolutionary battle-cry: 'For all!'.

Now, Nestor Debbs, the masses look to the founder of the Gorgashian Socialist movement once more for leadership. As always, you shall answer their calls. Can you carry the flame of the revolutions of the past and bring them to the bright future they all fought to achieve? Can you build a civilization to stand the test of time?"

- The Civilization intro for Gorgashia.
