"It is the core doctrine and all-encompassing thesis of Nexumian tradition to cultivate prosperity of others before prosperity of the self, for the prosperity of others in spiritual health and accordance gives benefit to the self's own psyche. That is why Nexumian collectivism has not been perceived as being an infringement of an individual's rights by the individual Nexumian, for the individual Nexumian sees no true worth in his or herself being alone to their own devices within God's desolate Universe."

anon. Synodic philosopher on the Nexumian capital of New Rhazieya.

[Estainia]

"Actually that is a myth. We invented the assault rifle, not the Belkans. The Belkans perfected the technology and spread it wide and far, hence the title storm-rifle, we would've preferred something more poetic." - Tsar Alexander Yordanov on automatic rifles.

[Ashkera]

"Ashkeran? No, the Agency isn't tied to any particular government, though we reached a mutual understanding with the Ashkeran Technocracy many years ago. It was getting to be a problem, even for us."
- MiB, alternate timeline

[The Gamindustrian Union]

"What if I told you, Russian, maybe Soviet, agents created the populist wave, so that Russia, or maybe the Soviet Union, but then again, if that were so, it no longer exists, but it somewhat still holds ground, may destroy the liberal world order, and replace it with a new world order with Russia, or the Soviet Union, at the helm?

"Not to say I believe it, but it's an ongoing conspiracy theory following Trump's win that I've been hearing from liberals. Other versions of this replace Russia with China or pair Russia with China. More extreme versions included that Russia and/or China want to make the world authoritarian and, for even more extreme versions, destroy freedom altogether.

"In my analysis, this brands populism as a more effective communist 'strain'. Where communism failed, populism will continue."

-S-Sha, on a conspiracy theory involving the populist wave

[The Xeric Imperium]

"A War is a passion that all humanity hold dear to,with the wave of violence,suffering and endless pain that it gives us it will strength us to be the finest warriors that the galaxy has to offer by our blood will spill on our bothers and sisters that fight one another with sword and gun to see who will be the strongest of them all! That is humanity's passion for the love of War"
-His Imperial Majesty Emperor Vex Imperius on War and Humanity

[Estainia]

"Thank you, technocrats, for killing the neigh invincible godlike being that was about to end the fucking world for the laughs. Think anyone would mention this? Nah, not so much as a Christmas card. Dicks." - Reginald Black, Enlightened Scientist

[Fatatatutti]

"It's traditional when a submarine goes out on patrol for family and friends of the crew to gather on the dock and sing For Those in Peril on the Sea. It's the only time you're likely to hear Fatatatutians invoke the name of God. Most of us don't have any particular belief in gods. We submariners tend to put our faith in steel and diesel."
-- Lieutenant Anni-Frid Ulvaeus, CO submarine Goldfish, in an interview

[The Nexus of Man]

"All nation-states are weak; all concentrated cultures are a poison to those born under them, and those who cultivate them from far-away shores. To truly aspire for a new age of Man, for all brothers and sisters under the sun, we must throw away the thought of one superior and dominant culture; discard the nigh-sexual, masochistic, and fetishistic attractions to foreign peoples and their tongues, in exchange for a unity through the dilution of all cultures under one significant and all-reaching polity.

Linguistic supremacism is another word for a comedic and sociocultural cuckoldry; racial supremacism is another term for the suicide of a species. If a culture does not assimilate under the State, it warrants extinction without regard for history or people."

"Abrahamism is the most dominant religious group to ever be birthed into existence. It offers the universalizing grace through Christianity, domination and conversion through Islam, and the sanctification of a nation through Judaism.

Theravada Buddhism is weak; it values the self's achievement of Nirvana over the benefit of the people's and State's will. Mahayana is no better; it seeks the fallacies of the divine will from the machinations of enlightenment, all the while syncretizing karma of the damned without a motive for the State's benefit. Hinduism, the progenitor of the modern religions, has fallen into utter shambles over its endless splintering and various interpretations of its holy texts; proving that it would not work as any means of collective theological domination for the state. Shintoism was destroyed with the capitulation of the blind and reeling under the gaze of a false god upon the Earth, and the Chinese traditional beliefs had to syncretize with one another to resist the state atheism of the People's Republic.

What religions have only grown in size? What religions have only, despite the advent of 'disapproving' and 'secular' science, sown the seeds of new eras of knowledge and teachings? What religions dictate to render unto the State what is the State's, and render unto God what is God's? Is it the dead thralls of the pagans from the North, or the still-beating hearts ringing from the Central American pyramids of obsidian? Nay, it is the group of religions that have declared the Patriarch their lineage, and have come to dominate the world and annihilate the weak and false beliefs through messages of both salvation, domination, and identity. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism toll the bells of a new age for Man, sacrificing the dead beliefs and foreign gods on their own altars, and letting their demonic blood flood their lands and drown the false believers.

Some things are meant to die; for the ones that do not, it is Nature's and God's will that they shall persist onward in human history for all of eternity. No irreligious action can dispel the might of the Semitic and Abrahamic beliefs, for they have tried and failed over the course of the millennium. Instead of vying for retribution against the God that you may not worship, seek the glory that shall be handed unto you when your People and Nation unlock the doors into aeons of spiritual power. No god of the machine can write out our destinies, but a Being that has written the penstrokes that dictate our physics and chemistry can be worthy enough of praise from a State such as this."

excerpts from V. Rhazien G.'s "Annals of a Demagogue" speech, Vikzoria, pre-Ascendancy.

[Bereia]

"I don't see why it's so odd that America is electing a television personality. The last time they elected an actor, America got one of the greatest Presidents in their history."

-- Jennifer H. C. Brunel.

"French reservists in the First World War could be issued recall notices, rallied, reequipped, given some refreshment training, sent to the front lines, deployed, in action, wounded, and sent back into the rear to a hospital to convalesce, all within three weeks, and this was standard in most Continental European armies."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen, during a history lecture.

[Primeval Humans]

"Please let this be the Nutshack."- Proissen, picking his own torture device, while having a blindfold

[Estainia]

"Hospitality has its limits, remember that before you ever intend to do something monkey-fucking retarded in the keep of a political rival, surrounded by men loyal to him and not you, and who will never report if you simply disappear for upsetting the King's Peace." - Cornelius Andius Maximilian, giving a lesson on how Sacred Hospitality works in the Empire.

"Always remember, well meaning laws are just as terrible as bad ones when put into practice. Though a common term now, the word ghetto is based in Italic, it means Little Town or Small City, depending on the transliteration. When the word originated, it referred to a cordoned off section of a Roman city, reserved for those of Darcsen descent and ethnicity, consider how much Rome despises the idea of race as modern nations understand it, and you can figure out the rest." - Tsar Alexander Yordanov on 'good intentions'.

[Darussalam]

"One must always be cautious to the exhortation of the born-again faithful to pollute our faith with the fruits of modern technology---the same one produced by the worship of godless empiricism. Theotechnocracy is but a fantasy, and when one is established it will guide the flock of believers away not only from humanist rationalism, but also the warm embrace of the pure monotheism of the Messenger of God into the idolatrous worship of machines and datas that treat faith not as a moral guidance, but instead as a practical evocation of powerful beings a la ancient pagan worship in Mecca to assist their slaughter of millions."
-Suleiman Ayurbarwada Khan, Seyhul-Islam and Imam of Masjid Jameh, your typical Friday sermon in Darussian capital.

[Arioslavia]

"Arioslavia shall rise again!"
- President Vassily Fedorov, during his inaugurational speech before the Supreme Soviet in 1995

[Estainia]

"I don't honestly bother trying to explain democracy to my kinsmen. I'm well aware that they won't get it." - Jaroslav Nikitovich, 'Naturalized' Impero-Bereian

[Fatatatutti]

"The Minimi light machine-gun feeds from a belt or a box magazine which mounts on the left. On the march our gunners usually carry the Minimi strapped across their body, pointing to the right because of the magazine, so they can fire from the hip in case of an ambush. That's why so many of our gunners are left-handed. With a gunner and an assistant gunner in an eight-man squad, that's a disproportionate number of lefties. On the other hand, the R-101 assault rifle ejects to the right, right in front of your eye, so we don't have a lot of left-handed riflemen."
-- General Marie-Louise Castro-Stalina, speaking to new recruits about occupation specialties.

[Las Palmeras]

"Montse's folks have been really bummed about Troompa-Loompa winning publicly, in private it's actually a bit more relaxed if not welcomed if my assumptions are correct.

His potential softening on old-time allies like Russia and Syria could allow for a future with more options of obtaining petrol than just the US and Mexico. It's a big if, but the prospect of national PMCs or even volunteers in Syria and Iraq fighting for their governments suits the Party well, along with some lax oil deals. Inversely, if Trump's projects bear fruit, another big if, the existing regime might want to capitalize on Mexican fears and invite them to fund -while they can- multi-generational Palmeran ventures in it's 'African Aid Belt' (Angola, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe), and the oil and bauxite with it. I really don't want to work in an office in a rainforest right now, I don't like mosqiotoes."
-Office Lady
