"Enemies of socialism, hear me. You have come here to die. History is on our side, and we are invincible. Our soldiers will strike you down, our warmachines will crush your corpses under their threads and our mighty artillery will make the very sky come crashing down upon you. You cannot win. Abandon the city, or you will die."
- Aleksei Alenichev, a leninist commander during the revolution. The loudspeaker system of Østvik (former second largest city in what is now New Freedomstan) was hacked and this message was broadcast before the revolutionary forces invaded the city, and happened as the two day long artillery barrage started.

Know how to cut them, know how to read them,
Know how to stain them, know how to prove them,
Know how to evoke them, know how to score them,
Know how to send them"; know how to send them,

An Introduction to Runes. It is the gold standard for books teaching children how to read.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!

7/10, a bit odd, but meagerly understandable.......


" People of Valtieres, I come today bearing my only epitaph! At the forefront of our great journey, from the days that our ancestors laid foot to this frozen wasteland, to the dawn of a unified colonial government, I have but only one request. Look at the faces of your children, your comrades, your family, and your people. What do you see? I can certainly assure you what I see: Fellow Valtiereans. That is what I see! What do the Corporatists see? They see profit! They merely see resources to be abused and wasted like downtrodden rodents being prepared for a desperate nobleman's final supper! They are on their death throes, yet why do we remain silent damn it! Why?! Do you truly seek to become a slave, a mere puppet? I only wish for your continued prosperity and intellectual contributions to society! Realism over fairy tales of a dream that only exists in the most foolish of slumbers! I ask you today, Valtieres, what do you choose? Do you want to enslave, abuse, rape, and murder your own children for the sake of purchasing more products?! Do you want this?! I am giving you an option, and you are not fucking responding! Cry to me, SCREAM, what do you want?! Do you want to vanish from the sands of time, remembered only as an archaic, ruinous force of corruption and ignorance? Is this our future?! I am offering the chance of a lifetime! I am giving you the choice of personal and political freedom! No more terrorizing, brutality, and civil mockery! I want to bring an age where all people, of all ethnicities, of all nations, can come to be one! We are stronger united than divided, and it so but so obvious. Martial discipline, obedience, loyalty, and I will give you freedom beyond your wildest dreams! Let go of yesterday, and embrace tomorrow! To the future, Valtieres! To the future I wish to take you! What will you say? I am at your mercy, your absolute rule! What politician says that in your lifetime? Few. It is the resounding truth with which the dying Corporatists fear, and if allowed to, will drench them in a bath of their own blood, solidifying the steps toward societal progress.

Your family, friends, children, and of course, yourself, await for this opportunity. What say you?

"They said I was brave, gave me a medal, a title. But I was only as brave as I had to be. Now I'm going back to my village, where bravery is never required of me. Except that which is required of us all, at mealtimes, in winter." Me'd'rudjyk', our current Tuul, on returning from the Independence Wars on Gran Thon (sixteen years ago - during a period of ill-conceived agrarian reform).

Around the same time, he also said: "Have nothing to do with a man who is brave all the time. Better still, keep your gun trained on him, because his bodycount consists of as many friends as enemies."

It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

5/10. Use of brute violence without discourse beforehand. Unless you have tried...

"Fascists and Socialism. Their proponents talk as though they are the only options out there, but really, they aren't so different. In both systems the state has the power, you can be punished because of voicing any thoughts the state doesn't like, and your very life has no value. Thanks, but no thanks."

3/10. President Gomez doesn't know what he/she's talking about in the slightest, and seems to have no concept of what Fascism is.

"They say that Fascists are ignorant, and that because they're ignorant they'll never know when they've been defeated in a debate. Well, look at me now- it's not that I've ignored my losses, it's that I have never lost.

2/10. Kinda arrogant and ignorant and the same time. You need to go back to your more dramatic and war like speeches :P

"That's the problem, no-one cares anymore! The Foreign Invaders are far away in the distance but we are faced with an internal enemy now. The Fascists and Communists calling for the downfall of the Democratic Government and Monarchy, they can't take the fact that they are un-needed and unwanted.

"'Am I concerned about an impending war?' No, sir. I am not concerned. I've been getting that question a lot lately. The Oeriman Military has an air force, a navy, and manpower we couldn't dream of. So why am I not concerned about taking what the Oermians claim is their land? It's simple. The Oeriman Military is controlled by its Counsel of Five. Those individuals are subject to removal by the House of the Populace, and hence, are controlled by them. The members of the House of the Populace are controlled by the populace. As one of the owners of the largest economic force currently IN Oermia, the populace is controlled by our marketing department. Our marketing department is controlled by us. We also disburse clean campaign contributions to the House members to help shore up our support. I may have no title in that country, but I assure you; when I say that it will not wage war, then there will be no war."
