"The people's biggest threats of tyranny seldom come from the state. The real tyranny comes from the people."

-Ygritte Kline, on sociology (partially based on a quote from Hightower involving state vs. society)
NEW FRENCO EMPIRE

Transferring information from disorganized notes into presentable factbooks is way too time consuming for a procrastinator. Just ask if you have questions.
Plutocratic Evil Empire™ situated in a post-apocalyptic Decopunk North America. Extreme PMT, yet socially stuck in the interwar/immediate post-war era, with Jazz music and flapper culture alongside nanotechnology and Martian colonies. Tier I power of the Frencoverse.

"Oh, shut your gas-producing facehole and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves, won't you?"

~ Danielle Archer, to a "green" activist.

***************

"It was strange to me that these awfully happy, friendly, humorous men were, in battle, some of the most terrifying men on the planet. In one instance they were sent against a unit of Germans in northern France, and they ran low on ammunition. Observers walking the field in the aftermath noted the ground in front of their lines was littered with rifles. They had cast down their empty rifles and just gone in with pistols, bayonets, knives, and according to some accounts, bare hands."

~ Col. Simon Jefferson (Ret.), R.M.A., historian, Bardwell University, speaking of Task Force Tikvah.

"... Freedom must extend to all the people, and Governments must therefore widen the opportunities of those whose liberty is limited by lack of employment, education, health care, housing or help in dealing with disability.
Governments should not try to do what can be better done by individuals, by communities, by voluntary organisations or by private enterprise, but should set about enabling people to help themselves; however governments should be ready to enter into partnership with these organisations to tackle the problems that neither it nor they are capable of solving alone.
Governments should be as democratic and transparent as is compatible with effective action.
Governments should learn to listen to the people to whom they are accountable, not just in elections, but when those people voice their disgust at a policy or action, governments should not feel ashamed to act on their advice and reverse their decisions.
Government must challenge and curb all those who threaten individual freedom by the abuse of monopoly power, by the denial of rights or by crime and violence.
Government must enable society to take the longer and wider view, than is possible through following nothing beyond the profit test.
It is the business of Government to act fairly in the pursuit of a united society, not to identify itself solely with any one section of society or region of the country.
Government must take active steps towards ending discrimination on all grounds..."

A small and relatively wealthy parliamentary republic with a population of 1.2 million, covering most of northern Yorkshire in Britain, which became independent from the UK in 1987 in the desire to create a state which prioritises civil rights, social mobility, individuality and heterogeneity above all else. It's noted for it's absence of a gender-binary, it's highly progressive taxation and very well funded welfare state.

"I've met foreign libertarians who saw no problem with the military shooting protesters that refused to return home and shut up when kindly threatened, and yet were convinced that giving money to poor people was the first step on the path to the world of 1984. Somehow ghat makes sense to some people."

"Might as well do it. I did it when he was younger. Nothing much has changed, the writing is dispersed and he only writes of whatever he considers to be significant or memorable.

'1st of January, 2014. I have little or nothing to say. The red wine was a bit too bitter for my tastes.'

'14th of February, 2014. I gave Tomoko-chan a dress. But she insisted it should be plain. Inversely, she gave me some chocolates.'

'Tomoko-chan'. What is that? Honey bunch? Sweetie? Darling? What? How saccharine!

'27th of February, 2014. How stupidly funny. I was outside the apartment and the full moon gave out lots of light. And I saw something creeping behind me and I jumped. It was my shadow!'

'13th of March, 2014. Today I saw a funny insect that seemed to have a silvery color.'

'19th of March, 2014. I looked up in the morning sky heading to work and I saw a crescent moon with Venus (or a star). I wonder if the Turks were looking at this scene when they made their flag.'

'24th of March, 2014. Watching the skies, at around 8 PM Tomoko-chan and I saw something at the window that we believed was a plane but it was blue and it did a 90 degree elevation. Was it a UFO? Well, it was one. I couldn't identify it. But, was it an alien craft?'

'12th of April, 2014. It's been a while since almost months ago, but Tomoko-chan and I did it three times. In a day.'

"There was one thing that we introduced to the New Dimension, Caapi. But it's a pricey luxery for it can only be grown in greenhouses. The opiate for the Chat (Neko) Free State isn't an opiate...it's a psychotropic. Like most Europeans these people are dependent on wheat, so we taught them how to harvest ergot. And with ergot eventually comes LSD. We imported the more rugged Morning Glories to make LSA as well.

It's a peacemaker."

"Those of you who side with the Soviet Union have no brains, and those of you who stand with the United States have no hearts"

-Talerii Mistoffeles, to the Council of Non-Aligned Entities, circa 1976.

In Mackonia's universe the CNAE was made up of mainly non-human nations who obviously were not as caught up in ideological struggles as the human states and served as the closest thing to a UN for these countries (though many of said non-humans did join the UN and took sides in the Cold War).

"After the PRLP-Soviet Split we were vulnerable. Appeasement to the USA and relative disarming was the rule for the 1970s, along with privatizing reforms that were still rather bleak. We very subtly sided with China in 1982. I do suppose it was desperate back then. Though by that point, we really were just like the Chinese...'Communists' because of the fashion."

"Beneath this stone rests the body
Of a Ruridovan soldier
Of unknown name and rank
Brought from the field of battle
To lie among the illustrious dead
And buried here on Armistice Day 1919
In the presence of
His Majesty King Alexander V
Prime Minister Elie de Lebeaux
Their Ministers of State
The Chiefs of the Armed Forces
And a Vast Concourse of the Nation

Thus here Commemorated
Are the Many Multitudes
Of this Great War, and all Wars Past and Future
That gave the Ultimate Sacrifice that Man can give
Life itself
For Family
For King
For Country
For Justice
For the Sacred Cause of Freedom

Those Heroes who make such Sacrifice
Are truly worthy of burial here."

- inscription on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Cydysa

"There are many Tombs of Unknown Soldiers in Ruridova, a minimum of one per province, frequently as many as three or five, but the national tomb is located In Eastminster Abbey. The location was chosen for a reason: Eastminster's graves contain some of the most hallowed dead. Nearly every Ruridovan king and queen since Aethalwulf the Great is buried there. It's where Ruridova buries it's great generals, great statesmen, great scientists, great writers, and great philosophers, if possible.
As if the act of symbolically burying every soldier who died for Ruridova isn't touching enough? See, they're buried under the abbey, under the stone, and most tombs you can just walk over the stone. The great monarchs of Ruridova can now be literally underneath the feet of a common man. But you're not allowed to stand on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There are at least a dozen ordinances, stringently enforced, that make it a misdemeanor. It's the only tomb to have such a privilege. That said something, that not only do our fallen deserve to rest among our greatest, they are the greatest. That a man who died for liberty and country is more prestigious and dignified and deserving of respect and admiration than any other.
If you ask me, that's pretty damn awesome."

"Amusingly, Alisonia avoided that past-time. Patterson refused to set up in the palaces his offices of government, nor did he have them torn down, turning them into museums on a simple, humanitarian level so to speak. The Revolution must go on, but the people must remember what decadence it was they overthrew so as to not repeat those mistakes again." - Cornelius Maximilian, perhaps the only non-jaded non-biased historian in the Empire when it comes to the Social Republic of Alisonia.
