"English, easy? Every sentence practically has a different set of rules! Nozqothum may be a bit long-winded and tedious, and difficult to pronounce for foreigners, but at least it has internal consistency"

~Xochivar Yasami Gulvatar Zameagoximdor, Nesixar linguist

[Senyosu]

To say English is an easy language only shows how self centered and how ignorant one can actually be. Then again, saying anything is better linguistically is stupid to begin with.

[Ruridova]

"A universe where Ruridovans endlessly have to deal with Wisconsinites bringing up the FRR's attempts to kill prominent Party figures and incite riots. I'm sure you'd love that."
- C.M. Tagliaferro

You've been to how many different universes and that's still the best thing you can criticize us for? I mean, there's gotta be, like, a universe where we eat the still-beating hearts of newborn puppies.—LittleBoyBlue, forumgoer.

"I can't visit every universe. Maybe Iñaki saw those during a 'random-multiversal-teleportation' thing, but he is generally not sane nowadays."
- C.M. Tagliaferro

"God, I just love gun culture. Because fuck it, every problem can be solved with lead."

Borders be the King's charge,
Soldiers be the General's jurisdiction,

"I fear for those people who cry forth 'trust in God, he shall protect you.' I've been to Ametia, I've been to Asran and I have seen Talma. If God was in any of those places, the horrors that took place he either perpetrated or God does not care." - Sir Victor Wallace, noted as being basically the only truly Estainian (Cornelius is not an Imperial) misotheist

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

Prime Minister Navarra, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who heard you say that is now dumber for having listened to it. May God have mercy on your soul.
- then-Governor Nathaniel Brixton to then-Prime Minister Carlos Navarra during a televised debate, 1995; Navarra had condemned Brixton's green energy plans as 'a waste of taxpayer money and an unnecessary detriment to Ruridova', asking the Ruridovan people 'to consider if we really need clean air'.

"As it turns out, gas mask subsidies are much less expensive and harmful to overall GDP than clean air policies. It created a whole new accessory market, similar to the invention of glasses and sunglasses. Rather than waste time trying to clean it all up, it's much preferable to just allow people to use personal respiratory purification devices." - Dr. Hexlite, Doctor of Macroeconomics

[Senyosu]

Diplomacy, warfare, destruction. And thus was the Battle of Sekigahara.

- C.M. Tagliaferro

Largely in your case, it is borderline impossible to clean up the mess that you did. So yes. It's far more suitible to cope with it and subsidize technology that protects people from the prevalent carcinogens in your air. Other than that, I wish to see you punished with the destruction when your kind is unable to cope with the mess any longer. That would be a glorious day indeed.

"Victory for your country is a victory for yourself."

"We must bring unified speech to the world. Down with English, Up with Esperonto"

-Javier DeVendez Extreme Pan-Linguan

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

"Unlike some nations, we don't use borders as political weapons. While the United Kingdom might have banned them from entering, we've allowed them unfettered on numerous occasions. The Westboro Baptist Church has protested within our nation on at least a dozen different times, decrying us as 'the filthiest nation in existence, bar none,' and 'the only place worse than Sodom.' Pretty impressive descriptions, right? Still, they can wave their 'God Hates Fags' signs all they like, we aren't hypocrites when it comes to freedom of speech and assembly. Really though, have you ever seen their god hates the world page about us? It's a real comedy gem, I'm telling you." - Councilperson Fellew, Extranational Inquiries Council; excerpt from a letter about why the WBC is banned from Umbra Ac Silentium

[Nesixar]

"We must bring unified speech to the world. Down with English, Up with Esperonto"

-Javier DeVendez Extreme Pan-Linguan

"While I support the Esperantist ideology and sentiment to a certain degree, the language itself is hopelessly Eurocentric. It is as confusing and alien for speakers of the agglutinative, semi-syllabic, intonation and prosody driven Nozqothum as Chinese is for speakers of English."

~ Qosariülimo Yasiqomea Azatariön Dzunemgol, Nesixar linguist

[Saurisisia]

"The middle way, because the other roads are far too well-tread."
~ Angela Carlson, Chairsaur of the Saurisian Moderate Party
