"Unfortunately, the perfectly rational homo economicus does not exist outside of thought experiments and hypotheticals."
- anonymous Vilkian online

[Guandsocranarzapleion]

"The average Guandsocranarzapleionan man should not too heavily invest himself in the earnest interests of Guandsocranarzapleionan politics, but instead in Guandsocranarzapleionan business."

-His Gloriousness, Guandsocranarzapleion the First.

[Las Palmeras]

"Yes, the public relations people wanted to see the First Family and all in that open zoo or something, so we accepted, we're just a load for the General Secretary- eh, Mother- I suppose. They said that we'd look romantic on a striding horse but the hoses seemed too fast and nervous according to the wife, she wanted something tamer she said. So, we chose the dromedary. She's quite indisposed at the moment. Both Tsuneko and the Tina the dromedary, I mean to say."
-José Zorilla, addressing the press

[Even Less of Mackonia]

"I've yet to see much of a demonstrable epistemological difference between the most crude "ignorant" racism and the established ideology of our self-proclaimed liberal elite of 'human dignity'. Two entirely meaningless assertions of value based on pseudo-naturalistic biological categories. You are not an elite. You are dumb and dogmatic, Brezhnevian bureaucrats who're so pathetically unimaginative that the only way you can comprehend the wholesale rejection of your shitty fables is "Hmmmm, well we're just too smart!" This has been the ideology of all dying regimes, "No, no, no! The system is fine! Nay! Its PERFECT! Its the people who are to blame!"

-Zilkas Soekthar-Mesok, diplomat.

"Just remember. You heard it here first. Democracy is used to reject liberalism and the liberals increasingly overrule democracy. That's how our Berlin Wall falls. AND YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!"

-Z.Maglos

[Blakullar]

"Siberia is chock-full of all manner of crazies, but there is one group of them in particular that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The Twisted. They are one of the raider clans that controlled the wasteland since the end of the Sundering. Most raider clans were formed from desperate groups of survivors, tribal communes or ex-thieves in law. The Twisted were ... different. The story goes that they were a former community of augmentation enthusiasts forced to eat their own kinsmen to live through the first nuclear winter. That experience changed them for the worse: when we encountered the Twisted during the Salvagings, what we saw was not a group of human beings, but a pack of cybernetic monstrosities, living insults to the human shape. Even to this day, their warbling, grating battle-cries as they charged straight into our flanks like insane savages haunt my every recollection of the period."

~ General Elena Trotskaya.

[Barboneia]

"I had never felt more alone in my entire life than when I was behind enemy lines in Pripyat. There is no feeling of safety, no moment of ease, you spend the entire time paranoid beyond what is healthy, afraid of every possible movement, you start seeing shadows and hearing ghost sounds almost immediately. You're afraid, it's blind terror, I admit this, other, prouder men, don't. I never want to experience that again, not ever." - Lieutenant Colonel Olexiy Pasternak, VVS (Ruthenian Air Force) in an interview, 2028

[Nanotrasen Corporation]

[Las Palmeras]

" If we assassinated Nazi 'refugees' after the War it's because they were viper eggs in this continent, in our turf not in Europe. Las Palmeras won't apologize for that. The last two times Eugenics was taken seriously in a modern world, eh, war changed, it became way bigger and more technological. Gave humanity Atomic weapons. I don't consider a third strike with politicized Eugenics is necessary to boast about the greatness of individuals in search of transcendence, not unless it's written in caves or a registered human thought pattern only remembered by a robot...Eh, I mean, that's why we went to WWII, to stop an existential threat. In retrospect, that ideological crap is noxious and incompatible with our harmoniousness but that's secondary. It was them or us in the long run, better to kill their memory.

Existential threat? Memory? Are you talking about the Z3 machine? Didn't the Allies have ABC and the Colossus?"
-Public conference with a PR official of the Ministry of State Security

"Did Las Palmeras even participate against the Nazis?

Not offensively, they contributed to coastal patrols in the Caribbean and destroyed one U-boat. They sent several thousands of nurses overseas, but most were sent to the Pacific. In the Pacific they also sent a company-sized group of bushcraft experts and special forces which they spent years devising, but there's reasons why Mexicans brag about the 201st Squadron and the Brazilians do the same as well with their Expeditionary Force but why Palmeran officials don't like to recall their small contribution.

"The word experimental unsettles me severely. I was once part of an operation called experimental. It was 1948 and I was a mere 25 years old. I do not suffer experiments outside of ethics because of it. Our humanity is all we have, especially when we don't have it." - Gen. Valshannar

[The Gamindustrian Union]

"Hail Hydra!" ["HAIL HYDRA! HAIL HYDRA! HAIL HYDRA! HAIL HYDRA!"]

"If anybody on the American left voted for Hillary Clinton because they thought she was going to go after those Wall Street investment bankers and CEOs they hate so much, they were basically buying the lie. She, as a globalist, is in bed with those people. She always has been."

~ President Giovana Araujo Correia.

[Barboneia]

[Sovetskaya Rossiya]

"Oh, that is absolutely hilarious."
-General Secretary Gennady Zyuganov, on American elecctions

[The Gamindustrian Union]

"The SDF part of the JSDF is smoke and mirrors: Japan has a military, and is up there when it comes to military strength. But there is truth to the SDF part: Japan can't use that military aggressively, but only defensively. That said, I find it interesting that the Japanese Imperial Guard isn't part of the J[G]SDF, but rather, of the civilian police itself. Then again, Liechtenstein's royal guard isn't part of the military, but that's because Liechtenstein has none."

-General Minerva Sorenson, HLowAF, known military pundit

"North Korea is, in practice, a stratocracy. Though Gamindustri shares a similar rank structure in high command, the military permeates their politics a lot. This is thanks to it's so-called Songun, or 'military first', policy. In lieu of this, it has almost 8,000,000 troops, active, reserve and paramilitary, and people have to serve for 10 years. For comparison, Gamindustri has only about 5,210,000 troops, and, while conscription is there, you need only serve for 12 years, you can choose a civilian service, and it's part of school."

-General Minerva Sorenson, HLowAF

[Allancia]

"Be aware in legislation and election that the opinion of media is almost never the opinion of the public."
