Quotes of people in your nation MK. IV

[Estainia]

"No. The Gulags will be closed, but they will remain intact. The children, our future, must remember the horrors of the past and learn to never repeat them in the future, for too long has it been the Bojikamiiam way to abandon and forget the past while recklessly charging into a seemingly bright future."
-Ex-Premier Anthony Regovishki, 1995

"As most Gulags of the Soviet or Siberian design were open pit-mines I see little use of keeping mines around just to have them closed. While horrible places doesn't it make some amount of sense to keep them opened and properly run and staffed in the aftermath of their political legacy?" - Cornelius Maximilian

[Gorgashia]

"What the fuck are we going to do with the palace? The same we did to the King that died in front of it, blow it to pieces! Then, we will turn every other manor, penthouse and temple of decadence and greed into charred chunks! Then- ! ..... I dunno, use the pieces and chunks as grave markers for all the counter-revolutionary bastards that stood between us and, 'his Grace,' Abenaki."

"We're- We're going to mark their graves? Huh, that's rather noble of you, sir."

"Of course! What do you take me for, some violent brute?"

"I- well, I thought that was your thing. Being the really violent and thuggish, but intelligent and pragmatic, aspect of the revolution personified."

"You sonofabitch! I'll- oh, wow, you have a point right there. I- you're good for now. I'll try working on my taste for violence later. Until then, we have a lot of places to tear apart and a lot of graves to dig."

- Boris Jekyll, Second Premier of the People's Republic of Gorgashia and a member of the Vanguard militia.

- C.M. Tagliaferro

[Deitol]

"One time we will have victory" During the civil war that made us independent from norway

[Massena]

"Paladin this is Deacon. Vessel is secure. Wheelhouse and engineering are locked down, and the crew is out on the foredeck. No casualties. Cuts and bruises only. Out."

~ Ensign Gavin Rossi, R.M.N., leading the seizure of the protest ship Sedna, which was trying to block deep-sea nuclear tests.

[Ruridova]

"What do you think will happen, Prime Minister?"

"What usually happens when unarmed, protesting civilians stand up to trained soldiers with military-grade weaponry."
- Foreign Minister Abraão Algarves Duerho and Fmr. Prime Minister Isaac Davies, discussing anti-communist protests in the then-Soviet satellite states of Pozklevk and Hevizaton, 1956

[Saurisisia]

"No, for the last time, petroleum and other fossil fuels do not come from Mesozoic dinosaur remains, they come from plants and plankton; so it's not ironic for us to be drilling for oil. It is just a myth and you should feel ashamed for continuing to believe in said myth when it's been proven false."
~ Vince Cartwright, executive of the Coral Oil Company

[Estainia]

"There've been separatist movements here outside of the civil war, one turned violence once. Once.." Sir Alexander Yordanov, referring to an incident in 1986.

Because y'all expected reason from a feudal monarchy, the Imperial Army was deployed and the results were predictably bloody.

[Tuskamo]

"Be careful on choosing a decision that makes you travel light years away, then wound back to your old starting place [...] or worse, something completely, madly unexpected."
-Daniel Rosenberg, Prime Minister of The United Kingdom of Tuskamo

[Las Palmeras]

"Sometimes I feel this place is like Solaris. There is no other observable explanation. Comparative anatomy would lead us to assume that all the humanoids here would have a common ancestor, and their genetics too; but known fossil records don't add up. It seems things change dramatically and then they don't change at all.

We can buy the Nordic-types in the North, but pointy ears? And then to the South and Center there are anthropological pygmies in a geographic area that is nowhere near similar to a jungle. Not to mention the fact they have animal ears and tails which are apparently useless. The pig-men, if clearly some divergent species of the ancestor of the previous two seem to sprout from out of nowhere.

Is this magic? Is this a projection of a Solaris? Is it defending itself against us with illusions? Us settlers, are we all suffering from some kind of collective psychosis? I've read about the SRs and stuff...

Explaining things with science fiction, maybe it's not 'Solaris' and it's more like 'His Master's Voice'. "
-A stressed researcher, 2169

"Stupid little cat girls always want to be more like us. They buy toothpaste and chew gum, they cut their hair to their shoulders or shorter when before we came that was unconscionable; and they dye it to dark colors, even the hair on their tails. They wear dresses that reach their ankles and wear make up and practice Spanish. Their old society is dying and we're screwing them. But sometimes I wonder who is conquering who. I've seen some of these Meows throw childish fits or act oversensitive and with that even an Occupational Services officer will open up his wallet. Not that it matters, the money is always right."
-A store clerk, 2169

[Tuskamo]

"You need nothing but a bit of kindness, the ability to shield those you stand up for, and some self-consciousness to love. But, a little strength, lies, and enviousness in order to protect ones doesn't hurt at all."
-Gregory Chekov I, Grand Prince of The United Kingdom of Tuskamo

[Las Palmeras]

"I wouldn't consider it to be based on libertarian thought. Regardless of what could be regulated and said people will still feel the same and any pretext to say something potentially offensive will be taken advantage of. I definitely don't like it if somebody offended me and I get the suspicion that many critics of 'Political Corectness' just want to express their coarse dislike towards objects and people without feeling social repercussion.

But can that really be helped? So no, don't call me a critic. And it's not like the 'Shoo ga nai' thing my wife told me because there's no dignity or stoicism. It's simply sadly accepting inevitable suffering. On the benefit of the doubt, my wife also said that there is probably no polite way to say 'I hate you' without it not having the same semantics."
-José Zorilla

[Ruridova]

"It is just a myth and you should feel ashamed for continuing to believe in said myth when it's been proven false."

"I will avoid starting a debate on science versus religion. I will avoid starting a debate on science versus religion. I will avoid starting a debate on science versus religion..."

"Yes, you will, or I'll castrate you just to make sure you can't pass your annoying idiotic confrontationality on."
- Leopold Dietkrech and Agata Novotny

[Massena]

"Believe it or not sweetheart, every use of force or aggression is not related to "gun culture," or whatever buzzword term you've been taught to use."

~ Allison Church, restaurateur, to a tourist.

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

"Deep-sea nuclear tests are used, among other things, to study and test new models of bombs, and to collect data which keeps our deterrent force viable."

~ R.M.N. Admiralty official statement.

[Auzkhia]

"Nuclear is for the weak. Weaponized magic is the best."
-A leaked quote from a weapons engineer.

[Las Palmeras]

"Aggression is an odd word because it implies motivation to obtain a goal. Some psychology textbooks describe it as such, others say it's willingness to cause damage to obtain a goal, and others say it's just conduct with motivation that leads to harming other people...defining agression sure is tough. Describing and identifying it is bound to be a contextual challenge.

But...why the hell do tourists go to foreign countries to argue? And more shocking, it's observable that almost everyone in foreign nations thinks the same."
-The Office Lady

[Ruridova]

"If you call me anti-gun one more time, or again accuse me of wanting to ban all guns, I will pull out my revolver and shoot you in the mouth."
- fmr. Prime Minister Nicolas la Vellas

[Estainia]

"If you call me anti-gun one more time, or again accuse me of wanting to ban all guns, I will pull out my revolver and shoot you in the mouth."
- fmr. Prime Minister Nicolas la Vellas

"And in this nation, that would have this man arrested for the threat of bodily harm with a deadly weapon. But remember children, we're backwards." - Cornelius Maximilian

[Las Palmeras]

"This 'Cognitive Dissonance' caused by opposing thoughts affects the way people see the world and how they work in it. But, when the sole purpose is insulting it's a slap. When one seeks to belittle their opponent it's very parallel to rape, when somebody makes you eat your own words and their words enter your being and you're in their mercy because they control your output of reality. It's punishment for opening up, consciously or subconsciously and the hate received only makes the violation more clear because you're lesser.

I won't lie. I seldom debate because I want to zip my mouth, my aversion to conflict isn't so much that I'm weak; it's simply that I feel confused about my sadomasochism."
-The Office Lady

[Ruridova]

"If you call me anti-gun one more time, or again accuse me of wanting to ban all guns, I will pull out my revolver and shoot you in the mouth."
- fmr. Prime Minister Nicolas la Vellas

"And in this nation, that would have this man arrested for the threat of bodily harm with a deadly weapon. But remember children, we're backwards." - Cornelius Maximilian

"La Vellas was easily exasperated, particularly around idiots. He never actually shot anyone."
- Agata Novotny

[Las Palmeras]

"How do they talk? I'm sure they've made their own idiosyncratic 'Nadsat'. "
-Montserrat Zorilla on her son and daughter-in-law

[Massena]

"Use of a personal firearm in response to a threat is a judgement call, one which is made on a case-by-case basis. If a man talking to me on the phone says in a huff that he's going to kill me, it is unlikely he legitimately intends to kill me, and I would hardly be justified grabbing a weapon, going to his house and putting a bullet in his face. On the other hand, if he is standing before me like you are now, with a gun or a knife or something, and says he intends to kill me, that's a different story."

~ Ms. Charity Brace, Chairwoman of Armed Sovereigns.

[Rio de Fuego]

"[The patients] have begun...screaming constantly, I'm worried that we've gone to far. Their bodies have rejected the implants and are barely kept alive by the machines. I urge the council to stop this program immediately, we've crossed a line not meant to be crossed..."

-Dr. Rodrigo Yves Administrator of the Oro Valle Research Institute and Asylum

[The Grand World Order]

"There's really two sides to the Orderian security regime. There's the uniformed, marching, widely-recognized military with their tanks and bombs and planes, and there's the other side, the side that wears black hoodies, foreign gas masks, and ski masks with hidden cameras and subcompact automatics. Both are terrorists." -Joaquin Stanton, member of the Association of Reformed Confederate Veterans, anti-Government veteran of the Magna Polis Uprising
