Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

"Equal does not mean identical."
-- Mickey Chang

[Estainia]

"I am happy to say I am entirely natural. Though I did once grasp hands with a man who had a graft, it was thoroughly unnatural. Unfortunately for him, I am also a necromancer, and the contact with another magus's work led to a backlash of mana that resulted in his arm falling off. I compensated him, for what it was worth. I can't imagine he ever quite got over it, though." - Cornelius Andius on necromantically derived artificial limbs.

[Bereia]

[Corparia]

"I never allowed myself to be intimidated by anybody; never once. It didn't matter who it was. Communist Party Chairman, labor union headman, corporate executive too big for his britches, the latest diplomat from one of the Great Powers trying to flex his muscle and force us to agree to something or other, or the tinpot dictator of the week. I faced them all, and I broke them all, and likely saved the country by doing it. I certainly don't feel bad about it, and if some choose to call me a tyrant? So be it."

- Riza Tichelaar, former President of the Federal Republic.

[Estainia]

"Use your head. If one has a gun and the other doesn't, they're not bloody equal."
-- Harlan Escrow

One cannot seek to unite people through violence, for it will only cement hatred between the very same peoples that you intent in uniting for centuries . To use this method is as logical as to add fuel to a fire, yes, if you give to much it will choke it's self out, but you will loose a lot of fuel, or in this case, lives. So it's much more logical to throw water to cool things down. The same must apply in the treatment of this revolutionary movement called Zummien.-Kemixi, the first sentient quail and father of all Corturnix ideologies.

[Bereia]

"Never get angry except by choice. To let somebody or something make you angry is to give them power over you."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

"Julie, baby, sweetheart... feel free to clarify your bloody point - if you have one. What I'm saying is that in an egalitarian society nobody has authority over anybody else. Nobody can point a gun at somebody else and force them to be equal. So your point is bloody nonsense."
-- Harlan Escrow

[Las Palmeras]

"Many Mexicans and Central Americans are seen as maids and domestics in the USA. Our compatriots are more well-off and typically have TEFL certification and community-college level IT degrees which lands them cheap computer-repair jobs: disproportionately female but what can one expect with a country where past centuries of war have made a disproportionate sex ratio.

Immigration aside, other consequences are 'MFF polyamory', bisexuality, or the most common accusation: creating hordes of geeks with irregular low-paying jobs who spend their days on the HyperNet living with parents or with other 'shifted NEETs' in cheap housing, making communal funds to buy Japanese merchandise whilst eating the microwave-ready leftovers from the convenience stores they work in; service and IT jobs they're qualified for occupied by the preferred family men. But many of these NEETs are now taking a ferry Northward or skipping the pond to Spain."
-Excerpt from a documentary about immigration

[Auzkhia]

"Auzkhians, when generalized, especially among the German plurality, carry the stereotype of being more 'kinky' than Americans. Sexual liberation is greater in Auzkhia, or maybe it is perceived as so due to Freikörperkultur. We have our prudish conservatives too, but many Auzkhians see sex and sexuality as a natural part of life that you should never ignore."
-Heinrich Erdély, university student in Vienna, of Hungarian and German descent.

[Universal Union of Panhumanity]

"We have often been accused of insanity by those that oppose us. To them I say, it is not madness, merely an idea far too vast and fantastic for them to comprehend. Such small minds are incapable of making such distinctions. This is the root of their antipathy to our vision of the future, a future brighter than anything they can fathom."
~Richard Walter, First Chairman of the Union

[The AIC]

"Happiness is something every human takes for granted. Even those in poverty and nearing death can still feel it, if rarely. There are three types of people in this world who can no longer feel happiness. The first are the depressed. The second are sociopaths. The third is me. Out of necessity, I forced myself to associate euphoria with agony. It is a shame my body continues to follow this behaviour. I will not accept false happiness, like that of drugs, because to do so would be to undo my entire life's work in persisting against adversity. Yet I cannot feel happiness naturally anymore. Not without immediately thinking of pain and remembering the hole drilled into my spine, now filled by my own creation. So in the end, in my eyes, happiness is overrated. The feeling of accomplishment, of achieving something worthwhile and excellent, is far superior."

-Orion

[New Edwardia]

"And that's my story. A selfish pilot who risked his life to save another, and in doing so, found he was saved himself. Things get mixed up in wartime, though, and you'd probably hear other versions: A rogue pilot who stole a plane; who killed his buddy; then lied, cheated and murdered his way across half the Roman Front; only to escape court-martial in the chaos of an air raid. But don't listen to any of that. What you heard from me is the truth. I wouldn't tell you if it wasn't...

Would I?" - monologue by Bristol F.2B pilot, FS Clyde Blackburn, of the New Edwardian Air Corps, promising he didn't lie about his endeavours against the Belkans, Spring 1917

[The Malarttan People]

"The Western world is shocked to see justice served against a disgusting foe; it is nearly as if they have never heard of such an act."

~ Secretary of International Affairs Mikal Santuri, the Republic of Malartta, speaking about the retaliatory strikes against Al-Shahaab militants in Somalia following the murder of nineteen Malarttan merchant sailors in the Arabian Sea. The strikes were conducted using thirty air-launched stand-off weapons launched by fighter aircraft on August 3rd, 2017. Seventy militants were killed according to post-strike assessment, including a high-ranking lieutenant.
