"Send me to my death.. DO IT!!!"
-Brother-Private Aulus

[Estainia]

"Eh, we're not so bad once you realise people can come and go, tourists, peasants etc at their relative leisure. Try that crap in Wolfkrone though, no one will ever see or hear from you again, the borders have been closed since 1926, even Californian spies don't know what the hell is happening in the lupine kingdom." - Henry Wallace, All Knowing Farmer

[Californiae]

We assassinated a queen there once. But overall quite right.

"The ancient Persians believed that if they ever lost a battle in a war, the entire universe would end. The modern Allancians believed that if they ever lost a battle in a war, their paycheck would end."

"That important national security thing started again.

What's that?

We try to help the Giant Caribbean Grouper recover and use aquaculture sites to release them into the wild in batches because it's necessary for some of their development...some still get eaten though, even if the prices are high. But the report says the goal is to make them stock when their number is healthy again. Some of the creatures in these batches have tags. And they're ending up in Venezuelan nets. We already have enough border problems with them.

And...this could mean war?

Online news exaggerates things, don't worry!
-José and Tomoko

"A minesweeper cut off the nets of Venezuelan drag-fishers in disputed waters days ago. Venezuelan fishermen rammed against a patrol boat in our waters but 'were repelled'. Our surface fleet's flagship will be deployed to the area. Or in other words; an old Soviet destroyer that was bought in 1991 for spare change along with 2 escort minesweepers, and 2 others similarly bought from Libya. That's our major surface force."
-The Office Lady

[Fatatatutti]

Battalion commander: I want you to take your platoon up there and run. Elements of the battalion will be trying to track you down and they need the practice, so do the best you can to elude them.
Platoon leader: How long do you want me to stay out?
Battalion commander: Until they catch you.
Platoon leader: What if they don't catch me?
-- the platoon leader was Lieutenant Marie-Louise Castro-Stalina and they never did catch her. She stayed out for sixty days with no supplies and several hundred troops looking for her before negotiating a "surrender". There was some talk of busting her for desertion but in the end they made her a company commander instead. Later on she was nominated as commandant of the Guerrilla Warfare School but that's another story.

"Hail the holy machine, ave machina."
-Garios

[Estainia]

"Our greatness shall outshine the Ancients, our reach shall encompass the world entire. There will be no land where the term Imperial is not used, there will be no safe harbor for those who defy Our Will, there will be no corner of the Earth or any other world where those who challenge us may hide. We shall rule all we set our eyes upon, the world is our right by divine will, and we shall act on that will with finality." - Generalissimo Dimitrian Yakovlev ("Retired"), part of a speech, 2013, His dreams of world domination (obviously) never came to pass, the spirit of his vision though may still have life, depending on how the Soldier-King rules.

[Bereia]

"If the United States makes a permanent withdrawal of all forces from a country, it is a total withdrawal. Everything is removed, even the buildings. If we cannot take it with us, we blow it up, burn it to ashes, or bulldoze it into the dirt. We leave nothing behind for our enemies to take."

-- Gen. John Curry, U.S.A., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

"The idea of the singleton is the most horrifying concept ever imagined. If it were to be established, it could easily set up a totalitarian state that which could never be overthrown.
Allancia is the perfect example of this. We are not simply the New World Order. We are the One World Order."

"When this country became industrialized enough to be part of +6 group, it had already managed to rack up enough to develop fuel-powered Air Independent Propulsion with a Spanish company. It also obtained milling technology, but most likely through industrial by spying European or Japanese shipyards. Any Palmeran who knows of this will gleam in pride; admitting we have the best submarines in Latin America because they 'partially' made them, and are not Type 209 or Type 206 exports.

'Partly' because our submarine force was made up of bought Lira submarines. Components were restored and the nuclear reactors were dismantled. Replaced with an AIP-diesel power system that was partially automated, however the ships became twice as slow. Their magnetic layout was still 'ok' despite the fact that titanium proved to be costly even if bought from desperate ex-Soviets and repairs were also costly. And the whole thing took 13 years and was on a balance of budget. The new propeller helped in a quieter displacement. At least one has a water ram ejection system for it's torpedoes. Quality over quantity was the new strategy and they were finally commissioned in 2003.

If emphasis was already put in Naval budget, those two submarines prove that our nation...or our military...put a high hope in them as defensive vehicles."

It's funny how dictators are frightened by the idea of anybody but themselves having any power.

"Welcome to Stalinist Russia. Let me preach to you the horrors of religion while I sign these papers permitting the Russian Orthodox Church back into the Soviet Union."

"I do not hate the Belkans as a people, I hate what they allowed to happen to their friends, their neighbors, and in more than one case their families. I hate their lethargy as they allowed people to be drug away in the night. But no, I do not hate Belkans as a people, I hate their willingness to assist a monstrosity." - Johann von Stier, one of few Belkan-Darcsen left in the world.

[Bereia]

"Corporal Dukes vanished in the aftermath of the action outside of Arkoma, and was not seen again for some fourteen days. When she was found again she had apparently been hiding in the woods by herself, living on whatever she could find. At first she was arrested, charged as a deserter, but...that charge was quickly scrubbed when it became clear the absence was...involuntary."

-- Capt. Thomas Quinn, J.A.G. Corps, U.S.A.

[Interstellar America]

"Unfortunately, we met the Space Jews last, or things may have gone quite differently than they had. We're a fairly compassionate people when pushed, and despite having only three fingers, they look the most like us, which would have helped immensely. Regaling us with tales of how the rest of the galaxy treats them like crap would've been a gargantuan boon, considering we don't much like what's tantamount to bullying an entire civilization. But instead, we met them first, pity really." - Adm. Naomi Sanderson, U.S.N., 2200

[Auroya]

"The ultimate sign that a regime has grown degenerate and desparate to cling onto power is the classification of certain personal beliefs as 'mental illnesses'. This is a sign that a regime is not long for this world now."

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

[Amerikians]

"The loyalty demanded of the American people is not to a man, but a symbol. It is to the nation, not it's government, not the officers of that government, but the very idea of that which is America. The loyalty professed in the pledges to this country are to just that, the country. It doesn't matter who fills the office of the presidency, who the congress is, or any of that. Your loyalty lies with America herself, the abstract concept that is our nation, the idea that there is to be a land of freedom populated by people willing to stand up and defend that freedom, even if it means dying for it. So no, it is not antiquated, it is not 'quaint', our demand of you is perfectly reasonable, be loyal to the United States of America, not the President of the United States, not the Congress of the United States, the United States itself." - Bob Newhart, lecturing SJWs

[Allancia]

"When a country dies, it will either be engulfed in flame or drowned in water."

[Adiya]

"Slave soldiering is a really mixed blessing for a merc company. On one hand, you've got a nice and deep recruitment pool to dip into with young, fertile minds to mold into good soldiers. Problem is, slavery is illegal in so many damn states, our operations are limited to Adiya, Rome, Assyria and Azhad. Four states out of the entire planet. Real shame, making quality slave-soldiers is a dying art these days. I mean, part of me just wants to toss the whole slave-army thing aside and make this into any other merc company, but y'know what happens when your raised by daddy to take up the proud family business. No matter how hard it gets, backing down now would be like backing down in front of everyone who has and ever will carry the family name... That, and I spent thousands of staters in bribes, spent years worth of time getting the right connections, maneuvering through circles of power and killed an uncle, two cousins, four brothers and a sister to get this office, and my last sister is still unaccounted for, likely planning to put my bones into the sands a little early. Like hell I'm going to let stiff market competition make me bend after going through all that other shit."

- Biry al-Ma, Head of "Mamluke Solutions Inc." Part of a discussion with a business partner.

[The Grand World Order]

"I wasn't made for the world that I left behind. I was incompatible. But, the world changed." -Grand Commander Griffith the First, founder of Our Federation

"'Our Federation,' it has a nice tone to it. It's the product of every citizen, not just an overwatch. It's about the only thing some of us have. It's something we have that nobody else does. Not just the Federation, but -Our- Federation. Not any foreigner's, but yours and mine. It reminds us that this country is a living, breathing thing that we nurture for future generations. It's something worth living and dying for." -Tannyr Gillam, Orderian citizen

[Bereia]

"Not punishing those who come here illegally, those we call illegal immigrants, is like not punishing a child who breaks a rule when they know it exists. It only encourages them, and others, to do it in the future. A swift, decisive response is necessary not only to catch the violators themselves, but to dissuade others."

-- Capt. Reuben Jacobs, U.S. Border Patrol.
