Quotes of people in your nation MK. IV

[Auzkhia]

"Apathy is for the Dinosaurs."
-Princess Wish Darling

[Katalonua]

"The difference between a weak and a strong nation is how the people follow the law. If you need men with rifles to make most people to follow the law, your nation is week. If all you need is a sign or a man in a suit to make most people follow the law, your nation is strong. To chain the beast that is man with weapons is easy. To do the same with lines and the ground, red pieces of metal on metal poles and expensive attire? That's a sign of strength, because if people bow before your signs and lines and suits, that's because they're too terrified to imagine seeing your guns pointed at them."

- Ahu Ahulani, Leader of the National People's Party of Katalonua.

[Interstellar America]

"Has it occurred to you morons that criminals, being outside of the law do not obey the laws regardless of how they are passed, set down or enforced? That's kind of why they're called criminals. You have no righteous basis to punish law abiding Americans to try and 'curtail criminals'." - Senator Reinhold Holzknecht, 2109

[Confederate Ramenia]

"Competition is needed to keep the Ramenian economy from becoming a 'free market'" - Randall Brown, President of the Grand Food Confederation of Ramenia.


My nation is weird.

[Las Palmeras]

"The antithesis of Randian Heroes are probably the 'heroes' here. They're too arrogant and manipulative (Ms. Zorilla) or they are visibly meek (Tomoko). They wipe their hands clean like Pilatos (Józef Papp) or they agonize and writhe in their doubt and guilt (Sachi 56011). They take the third actions and observe, as bystanders with a post (Col. Martínez Sosa), as passive collaborators (Mélanie and Mama), and as investigators or introspective people (the Anthropologist and the Office Lady).

Only a handful have a sense of direction, the rest are infinitely lost in a world of perceptions that has a blindfolded Buddha to guide them. They take comfort in their pride, or insecurity, in their hypocritical lies or acidic sincerity meant to harm, in their lascivious nature, and in their need to control the world around them in the way they want to and leashed only by the norms and necessities of social life. Physically the grand majority is so-so more or less, with the exception of Gloría being very sexy and Herrera being ugly.

They most certainly have freedom. They can be free to interact with their surrounding in the way they see fit; but they're chained to their need to interact with others to attain their goals, to get affection, to feel protection, to get a paycheck and eat, to promote a personal goal at times...this could be biological altruism or biological egoism meant to carry on their gene pool, it's never really put in detail. Either way, association with others assures some form of self-preservation. It's important to note that a swallow doesn't make a Summer, as a result egoism goes down the drain as a base. It's just a catalyzer in a surrounding that requires circumstances which often cover the entire being of the protagonists. 'Collectivism' is more obvious, however it's also just a catalyzer of human activity depending on the perspective. Though there's no real definable base.

They can get out mentally if they want but they're ultimately a unit and creation of the cyclical society that made them, most will probably be forgotten in decades after their lifetime but it's alright because nothing is forever.

On a curious note though all are culturally collectivist, most aren't as generous as a Randian hero for whatever reason it be. And they all peruse homeostasis, so in a sense they all peruse happiness as well. But they're socially interconnected and they use this to live; rose-tinted glasses will say they help each other and dark ones will see them fucking themselves and each other in a never-ending loop of use, abuse, and sadomasochism. Being more collectivist will only enhance their inter-dependency. Being more individualist, to extremes, would only allow the dominants to hold the whip. It happens either way.

The good thing is that in the end of the story they can all do the Henry Tsukamoto dance together. Notably only José and Tomoko hold hands though. "

[The Roman Imperial Republic]

"The universe is mine and mine alone. Mere men think upon the scale of land and battles, of mortal lives. I have live lived several mortal lives, and think upon a scale that even the cosmos isn't equal too. Your very soul is reckoner against you. I am the ultimate Panopticon."~Emperor Leto, The Secret Journals

"I may be kindly, I am ordinarily gentle, but in my line of business I am obliged to will terribly what I will at all."~Emperor Basileus

"Hey, Yuri."

"Hey."

"Huh, this seems awfully familiar. Do you ever get the feeling of deja vu, Yuri?"

"Er... not particularly."

"Ah well, probably nothing."

*First speaker leaves the room*

"...okay."

*Later, the first speaker returns to the room*

"Hey, Yuri."

"Huh, this seems awfully familiar. Do you ever get the feeling of deja vu, Yuri?"

"Uh..."

"Ah well, probably nothing."

*First speaker leaves again*
~ Two Amurian workers chatting at a break room in an office building in Petrokopv

"Republics are inherently unstable, always ending when the incompetent populace are led astray by demagogues."~Emperor Hadrian II

"If they are so unstable, then how come we never united under a single monarchy? Why were we divided into nearly a hundred states prior to Huswa Varanken uniting our fatherland over 150 years ago in the name of equality, brotherhood, and liberty? Why are republics more freer than monarchies who all they do is sit and eat their cake while making the peasants starve? Because we are more stable and more prosperous. I do concede on point, though. You are more prosperous than the communist dictatorships. Doesn't make me want to hang you and your bratty, and entitled children from the lampposts on the fucking streets while the peasants cheer your bloody demise."

"Luziyca isn't technically a republic by any non-Luziycan standard. It's a psychotic right-wing dictatorship that murders little girls and apologizes by mailing the family pocket change, but it pretends to be a free, fair, and just democracy."
- Leopold Dietkrech

"Multiple states can coalesce, but in one way or form, they always fall to tyranny. Tyranny by the majority, Tyranny by the Minority, Tyranny by Religion. It can be both. Tyranny of the minority cloaked in the tyranny of the majority. Either overthrown by its excesses or eaten away by bureaucracy. No government has evaded this pattern."~Emperor Leto, The Secret Journals

"In this century, communists and fascists are equally likely to be overthrown first, then the autocratic monarchy, then the corrupt bureaucratic dictatorship, then the constitutional monarchy. The least likely government to be overthrown is a republic, which we are. The fact that we are founded on Christian values helps a lot. We are essentially immune from government collapse, though we were once divided into a capitalist east and a communist west. The latter fell in 1989 and joined the east in a couple years." -Ron Obvious

"You are literally too subhumanly moronic and barbaric to insult.

By the way, they found you guilty on all counts, and you've been granted an exemption on the death penalty ban. You'll be taken out by firing squad on April 1st, in literally hours. Your companions will be killed as well, with the executions staggered throughout the day. Bye. Wasn't nice knowing you."
- Intelligence Minister Harold de Valera
