Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. V

[Estainia]

"Yes, the Zhong thought that of us, and the Imperials. Both knelt before our might. We 'backwaters' are not as weak as the 'mighty' like to think we are." - Nishimura Katsu

"Except the nations you define as 'mighty' have obviously never tried scorched earth before. We tend to find that sabre-rattling backwaters are, indeed, very weak when it comes to absolute annihilation tactics."

~ A Mecharussian Red Army commander.

"Oh believe me, little trans-human furturist robot, we scorch the earth very very well." - Cornelius A. Maximilian

[Nouva Romonia]

"To maintain order in a nation you must do one simple thing, remove all the people who wish to be unique and replace them with mindless drones of the party."

-Eltanbani Feldici

[Estainia]

"Necklace? No, I've heard of a cursed ring that could see into the souls of people, never a necklace though. I had the misfortune of owning it once, so perhaps heard of is the wrong term. It does not matter how powerful one is, how sure of themselves, it can see your weaknesses, and it uses them against you, harboring doubts, eventually leading to insanity... or death, if you are so lucky."

"What did you do with it?"

"I am wearing it, Mister Karling, so that no one else has to suffer that."

"... I thought you were evil?"

"All heroes continue to prove themselves to be idiots, somethings it would appear, never change." - part of a conversation between Cornelius A. Maximilian and Roland Karling, 2003 AD

[Auroya]

"Gunboat diplomacy... well, obviously it's best not to use it all the time - but come on now, what are we supposed to do when the nation in question just won't cooperate? And what is the use in fielding the Grand Crowned Navy, and the Royal Marineborne Corps, if they are never to be used?"

~ A Mecharussian Red Army commander.

"Yamato has lived through two-thousand six-hundred and seventy-five years. We have watched Empires as great as the Great Tang die, we witnessed Kublai Khan of the hithertho invincible Mongol hordes suffer ignominious defeat by the grâce of the Gods, we silently observed as European realms squabbled, rose and fell. We have even born witness to two cataclysmic wars for the very survival of humanity. Your so called 'absolute annihilation tactics' are nothing compared to what the Enemy did seventy years ago, and you will become nothing but a mere whimper in the relentless tide of history." - Her Excellency Naikaku-sōri-daijin Amaha Yukiko, representing His Imperial Majesty the Current Emperor and His Imperial Government, in a rare display of acknowledgement of the multiverse and its barbarian hordes.

[Auzkhia]

"We could scare a country into submission by sending a small fleet to their ports, however, it's a gamble, pick your fights wisely, and don't be surprised if they fire back with strong resistance."
-Admiral Heinrich von Trapp, K.u.K Kriegsmarine, on gunboat diplomacy

[Estainia]

"If you need to bully lesser peoples, you are not worthy of the title 'nation', yourself either. You are a tribe with somewhat more advanced options." - Tsar Peter I

[Las Palmeras]

"As a people, our existence ranges some 500 years, as a country some 56. There are places with three to six times as much history and culture. For every living person there's at least 30 to 40 dead people historically speaking...or at least it was like this in the 1980s the last time I read it, the actual line is hazy for me. But here it's got to be bigger. From 1821 to 1830 we killed our own in internal suppression for the sake of our Colonial masters. Starting over hurt because of the loyalty tests and plantation quotas punishable by death or mutilation, at least one third of the populace died and even there standards of life didn't improve for the general majority until decades later even during all the Big Stick actions which protected Wall St.'s rights to our asses. Before the Congo Free State and radio or photography. Well we made up for it, maybe not in numbers but in percentages! We got experience, we got plenty of experience in funambulism between life and death and that's more than enough to continue, that's more than enough a universal lesson on humanity...Sure I didn't know it when it was the Shithole of the World, I'm not that old...but at least it was a hellhole when I was young. We got our special spot in history under acts of a special kind of brutality...or at least in this universe."
-Montserrat Zorilla, ranting drunk when told Las Palmeras had no history

"The price of over-sensibility isn't desensitization, it's national spirit stuck halfway in outer-space. Weather you consider that a broken spirit is weather you see a glass as half full or half empty. "

"The guys at Madakila made a machinegun that shoots shotgun shells."

"Ridiculous, an automatic shotgun solves the problems, and using machine guns to shoot shotgun shells can be very destructive to the barrel."

"I've brought one here, you see, load this belt of buckshots, pull the trigger, BOOM!"

"By the Goddess, that...I'll go to Manila to buy my own."

[Las Palmeras]

"The surprising thing about Palmeran 'philosophy' when it premiered and was published outside wasn't the fact that it was groundbreaking in anyway or even well-made, it was the fact that to many living in the Victorian shadows still in the early 20th Century, the image of the hungry and impoverished mutts writing was baffling. But Christianity as it existed couldn't possibly have satisfied the populace, being through it all was too much and too contradictory to actually believe in an all-loving father. Being born and competing with your brothers and sisters, hacking at weeds and working in machines since childhood, dying at the whim of anybody bigger than you or living to be useless and worn out, starving yourself or being let go of.

Some quasi-existentialist thing reminiscent of Summa Theologiae was the result in which angst was equatable to Original Sin and disobedience towards God's plans, but called for a Revision of certain viewpoints of obedience deeming Free Will the example of being made in the Image of God, a dynamic being capable of creation and mentioning that being kicked out of the Garden of Eden leaves individual meaning to emulating (but not replacing) God by attempting to make up for being booted out of Paradise and creating a new Paradise on Earth and turning dreams into reality. This under certain Judeo-Christian guidelines of course... in which Divine plans for the self tend to be very individual marks of Faith needed to keep track of feeling and sensing illusions in material life, doubt actually praised to some extent as an eliminator of lies that brings one closer to some truth.
...
The rest tend to be tidbits and seem almost Q&A like about ethics subscribing to the aforementioned line of thoughts, fairly systematic. And then all of a sudden a bunch of chapters dedicated to speculation on divine essence in man with no right answer and with multiple authors (most obviously clergymen), the 'age' of the Earth using non-literal interpretations of Genesis and references/interpretations on mysticism or Kabbalah and numerology justifying this, 'self' consciousness in Aurora Consurgens and Rosarium Philosophorum, among guides to astrology..."

— Gajran Buddhist proverb

[Nouva Romonia]

"Human society can not be rationally understood until it is witnessed for what it is, a series of human farmers that own human livestock.Some people get confused because governments provide healthcare and water and education and roads, and thus imagine that there is some benevolence at work...nothing could be further from reality. Farmers provide healthcare and irrigation and training to their livestock. Some people get confused because we are allowed certain liberties and thus imagine that our governments protect our freedoms, but farmers plant their crops a certain distance apart to increase their yields and will allow certain animals larger stalls or fields if it means they will produce more meat and milk. In your country...your tax farm, your farmer grants you certain freedoms, not because he cares about your liberties but because he wants to increase his profits. Are you beginning to see the nature of the cage we were all born into?"

-Anarchist Feden Eldenci (deceased) during an anti-fascist rally

I don't believe in this encase you were wondering

[Gajra]

“Out of all the ‘realpolitik’ ideologies that encroach into the minds of the dastardly human psyche, the ideology of fascism is one with the most rationality. Just think about it.

Humanity has always bickered on about democracy over the course of human history, citing human rights and the violations of said fairy tales of nonexistent rights to further propagate their progressive and vile agenda of ‘equality’. Yet, the normal human construct at a macro-political level has always drifted towards one of monarchy, despotism, or any autocracy with one leader at its head for most of antiquity. If our normal psychological and mental urges point our political compasses towards one of autarchy, why do we rebel; clamoring for the poison of ideologies belonging to republican-isms and democratic-isms?

The weak outnumber the strong.

The founding fathers of the United States of America sought out democracy due to the system of democracy being plagued with lies that it is infallible, when it is always fallible, even with the protection of a piece of parchment detailing ‘infallible’ human rights that only had validity when the cadavers of George Washington and John Adams weren't rotting and writhing in their graves, with the abuse of democracy today for progressive ilk as their hellish agonizing torment.

Hitler and Mussolini, both vanguards and proponents of fascism edited to their nationalistic credentials, built nations that, if they weren't occupied by more than half of the world, would have stably survived to this day, and even beyond. Why? Humanity's normal biological psyche, from the evolution from primitive apes to Homo sapiens sapiens, has always sought out strong rulers to guard them and defend their lives; not ignorant twats and fallibly corruptible politicians plagued with physical and political impotency at their governmental head.

Alexander the Great, Julius and Augustus Caesar, Genghis Khan, and many other Great Conquerors of the World did not have democracy. If they did, all the hypothetical political roads ultimately and definitively led to them at the center.”

"Then kill me. Sate your inhuman savagery, automaton."
"No. I will not kill you. I will destroy the sensory nodes of your brain. I will cut off your tongue. I will pay billions for surgeons to mutilate your body, until you are physically the 7 legged, 3 armed, dickless bastard that you've always been deep in your putrid soul. You will walk the streets of what was once your city, blind, deaf, and dumb, and all who see you will know you for who you are: the foolish son of a bitch who thought he could corrupt the Vox."

It takes me a moment to realize this doesn't actually mean anything anything and that I'm in Togoland and not Rußland, so that sign is just a joke."

"The futile attempts by the Filipino president to re-establish the long-gone dreams of Maphilindo has proved to be a total threat to the existence of the PTFS...therefore, the PTFS has decided to declare war on the Republic of the Philippines in order to bring about regional stability and unity. All relations to the Philippines will be nullified, and Singaporean military units are now granted complete permission to engage entities of Filipino affiliation."
