Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. V

[Snakelan]

"No, This scam shall be committed no more. Daniel's Oligarchy of Snakelan shall fool the masses no more! No more state! No more bourgeise! No more farces, jokes, scams, deceits, betrayals of the people by this sickening, lying, traitor of the workers, of the people! Shall he and the Grandduke alike fall to the power of the people, Of the workers! May we break the chains, And bring about liberty for all proletarians, and serfs!"--Andris Krūmiņš, Anarchist-Communist Revolutionary-Guerilla Leader of the RASMA, 1915

"Recording. This is official log 162 of the Eviscerator Project. Subject is male, acquired from Frenkish wastelands. Subject shows psychopathic tendencies and preliminary tests point to high chance of conversion process success."

"- SO FAR UP YOUR -"

"Beginning conversion process. Preliminary stage immuno-boosters injected, connecting stimulation injectors now. Primary implants are prepared for connection, cranial opening proceeding."

~Enginseer and captured wastelander, prior to the latter becoming a murderous berserker cyborg in the service of the Empire.

[Las Palmeras]

"An improved skeletal structure with hexagonal fibers. Human intelligence made from samples of Magnetic Scans of donors...totally heuristic, or in other words, an adaptive and learning artificial brain inside a synthetic organism grown inside a vat from cells chosen by banks which are then modified. They have perfect vision, they have an ideal metabolic rate, and some aspects of favorable personalities can be inherited by good donors. Tests say they can preform as well as the average person. All the privates have functional privates to save humanity; and obviously they are all individuals.

They don't look scary. They even have baby faces. What's so scary about men who are 1.5 meters tall and women who stack up at 1.43?

This Regiment doesn't need as much antibiotics as regular folk because their repressed growth also represses protein-level confusion.

What?

They're healthier than most people. And they also eat less than most people. After the light Gamma Burst, nothing must be neglected."
-"Plant" Manager and news reporter (2130s)

[Tellus Mater]

"Our truths will become their truths. Our ways will become their ways."

"Genocide."

"We do not comprehend the statement."

"Life as defined by the Empire is the ability to form higher thought. The ability to form opinion and difference of ideal. What you propose is genocide, the extermination of a people whose opinion differs from your own. You are committing genocide."

"We do not comprehend the statement. They will not... Die as organics understand."

"No, they won't, it will be so much worse. You will kill their minds, what lesser species call their soul."

"We concede that is correct. It however is necessary to preserve the peace of the empire."

"No, we cannot accept that, we value knowledge and experience, opinion and ideas more than anything. We cannot kill an entire race." - part of a conversation between Gaius Marius and Unit 01, 12.5 billion BC

Unit 01 would later become The Wandering God, cause the Tellan Civil War and the deaths of over a trillion people, Gaius Marius would survive the war and go on to found the Hegemony, rework Tellan society and develop a deep seated hatred for AIs in general.

Not as influenced by ME as you think.

[Estainia]

"How do you practice your religion?"

"As seriously as an Opus Dei Catholic. I would bow to you, m'lady, but you are not Athena, daughter of Heracles."

"Monotheism is a sin."

"I follow all of the Gods, even your mother. I cannot sacrifice properly because of the Abrahamic Religions, their morals forced on the world. I cannot go to temples because they have all been burned down. But I assure you that I do take my faith seriously."

"We will come to you before the end."

"Good day, Daughter of Heracles."

"Good day, Lore Master." - part of a conversation between Stephen Jones and Alexandra Spiros, 1998 AD

[Bereia]

"Europeans need to realize that, when it comes to America, they cannot have their cake and eat it too. They want America to keep away in good times and speak only when spoken to, but when a large disaster strikes it is apparently the European view that America should fly across the ocean to their aid. A sadistic part of me looks forward to the day when Europe cries out for help, and the leviathan across the Atlantic doesn't so much as twitch."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

[Ruridova]

"Quite simply, every national stereotype has some vague basis in reality. There are a lot of haughty Ruridovans, a lot of ignorant Terranovans, et cetera, et cetera."
- ATGNSMM

[Allancia]

"When one realizes how little they give to the beggars in the street, they will stop complaining about taxes."

That's nice. Let's see how you fare when biker gangs rule your nation and 1% of the population owns 49% of the money.

- A very sarcastic passerby, when asked on his opinion of Bereia

[Saurisisia]

"Absolutes are the realms of fools and schemers."
~ Johan Maxwell Hayworth

[Massena]

"Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men when we can do it is no less a sin than to encourage them."

~ A quote often attributed to Pope Felix III, set above the doors of the Justice Department Building in Utica.

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

"Breach my armor, set me free from this prison of flesh!"
-Brother-Private Aulus, a Legionnaire with a death wish

[Senyosu]

To seek profit over quality is the height of stupidity. To seek quality over aesthetic is the height of boredom.

-every Senyonese designer, ever-

[Auroya]

"I will admit that the market system has some benefits and that it can be a very useful tool, yes; but there are some things I can never leave to the profit motive, such as education, healthcare, and all services that people need to survive. Those will always stay under public control for the sake of the well-being of the country and people.

Mixed economics, frankly have served this country far, far better than either laissez-faire capitalism or socialism ever could and have been far, far less destructive than either of these. It is a system which has all the benefits of both of these systems but very few of the drawbacks."

--- Lady Evelyn v. Crimsonstein, NMP Party Leader

[Bereia]

That's nice. Let's see how you fare when biker gangs rule your nation and 1% of the population owns 49% of the money.

(OOC: I don't play by my nation page as slavishly as some people, actually, and the economics discussion we could get into is not suited to this thread.)

"No true monopoly can sustain itself without the active consent and support of the state to protect it from competitors."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

[Phisych University]

"It's philosophy is founded upon the idea that history is a series of Progressions. Hence why it appears so damn Neo-Marxist and why they'll chant about the mighty march of progress in history. So, the progressives will argue, society must change every once in a while to accommodate the changes of the present for the good of humanity. That's why it's called Progressivism. Why is it sometimes called Liberal? Because before the Progressives came around, back when Classical Liberalism was young enough to be called Liberalism, Conservatives, who were much more centrist back in the day, butted heads with the Liberals often. However, Progressivism emerged in countries where (Classical) Liberalism had won the day and dominated the political scene. It didn't take long before the old Conservatives were mostly converted to (Classical) Liberalism. So, because they now conflicted with the 'modern' Conservatives, the Progressives tended to be called Liberals. Incidentally, that's also why Conservatives who support Classical Liberal ideals are sometimes called Neo-Liberals or Neo-Conservatives, because they're not old Conservatives, they're Conservatives of a (Classical) Liberal society. Yes, Classical Liberalism is indeed more Liberal than Progressive Liberalism, but the name Liberal is simply used because Liberals used to butt heads with Conservatives until they became the Conservatives and stopped calling themselves Liberals. So, with the name free in the air, modern Progressives took it up. In the end, all I can say is this; why the fuck are you morons arguing so much about what the fuck your ideology is called?! If the Fascists changed their ideology's name to Communism and the Communists changed theirs to Fascism, would that change your opinions on those specific ideologies? But no, let's make a 'point' by talking about the silly names for silly ideas! Hell, the only thing missing is the clown suits for the fucking politicians if this is the actual future of politics."

[Bojikami]

"A man's greatness is measured in the amount of people he has effected."
