Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

[Austrenia]

"Driving a tank is fun."
- Helmut Gautrekursson, Valgoran soldier

"I eat tanks for lunch. I weigh less than half what they do, my gun is just as good as theirs, and while I don't have much armor, they're going to have a hard time hitting me when I can move sixty in a world where most of my targets can do half that, or maybe a little more. I can dodge around their flanks and rear, bypass that beautiful, super-thick frontal armor they love to brag about so imperiously, and then kick 'em right in the ass with a high-velocity, low recoil 120mm shell, set their shorts on fire, and be gone before their buddies can do fuck all about me."

~ Sgt. Hjördís Vilhjálmsdóttir, Federal States Army, commander of a Centauro II wheeled antitank vehicle.

[Voimare]

" Homosexual Voimari are not a blight on this fair nation. All homosexual Voimari of legal working age surveyed in this year's official government census were found to be productive, working individuals studiously contributing to the rest of society. They seek not to undermine so-called 'traditional family values', but rather enrich the collective morality our country with messages of acceptance and universal love. Let it be clear: there is no logical argument against homosexuality; in fact, it is absolutely ludicrous to treat homosexuals as second-class citizens- absolutely ludicrous. There is no place for it in a civilized nation. "

~ High Councillor Olapfafinsik'ht Dalmoredadzia, in an official address to Voimare concerning the legalization of same-sex marriage.

[Las Palmeras]

"Hypothetically I'd deny any blowhards in vehicles from bragging about seeing any action after their neat little terrain is suppressed, over and over. I dunno- if the rear guard and SAM people do their jobs- but we're a self Defense Force to not get troubles from the Americans..I dunno...I don't think I can brag about waiting. But we're all so good at it. I guess. I don't know!"
-A nervous battery commander of the Revolutionary Ground Defense Force

[Ayanka]

"Piloting an attack aircraft is fun. Look at those tiny vehicles in the ground, they look like ants!"

-Mihkail Orlov, pilot of the Ayankan Air Force, while piloting his Su-24 seconds before bombing a NATO anti-tank vehicle during the Revolutionary Ayankan War of Independence in 1994.

[Euro Asian Republics]

"My God..." - The final words of Prime Minister Robert Colbert moments after a sniper's bullet had pierced his chest and moments before another sniper's bullet hit him in the head, 12 April 1955

"what the [BEEP] is that. have the austrenians been genetically modifying humans? have they been crossbreeding them with animals? this is sickening. absolutely sickening. they must be using them as pawns in their imperialist agenda. not even pawns...more cannon fodder. this one can talk....and they even gave it ....

breasts

. the austrenians are clearly monsters. i would wage war against them if we were not irrelevant on even the tiniest of scales. still...horrendous. maybe in 50 years time."

[Euro Asian Republics]

"I believe that the ideals of Socialism, which are so generous and appealed to the concepts of solidarity and fraternity, will one day disappear. What will prevail? Selfishness? Individualism? Personal ambitions? That will not save the world. Of that, I am absolutely convinced." - General Leon Hardins, Alisonian Army (ret.), the most infamous traitor in Eurasian history, commenting on the fate of Communism and Socialism, 1991, six years before his death

[Estainia]

"You are referring to animals who killed my mother, my brothers and my sisters who ranged in age from thirty six to six months, right in front of me. I have no love for them in any manner, I will not be pleased until the last Alisonian has felt the embrace of Irene." - Tsar Basil II during the 1954 - 1955 Eurasian Mediation of the Estainian - Alisonian Cold War (a theatre of the greater Cold War, but preceded and outlasted the greater one), it occurred soon after the Schayne Plains War, and wounds were still fresh for many, literally in most cases, however as the Empire is an absolute monarchy, and the monarch at the time had directly survived the Alisonian Revolution of 1920 - 23 to say he was bitter would be an understatement at the very least, caused the talks to fall through.

[United Territories and States]

"Come and Take it"- a ultranationalist militia flag during the Philadelphia riots.

[Democratic East-Asia]

"Science and progress are undeniable and unstoppable. Attempts to resist will be futile."

-Some scientist.

[Maccav]

"Stalin actually did do some wrong stuff"
-An anonymous Maccavian trying to talk to a Stalinist.

[Democratic East-Asia]

"We cannot afford factionalism at this time, but I assure you that there will be no crackdown on different ideas of socialism here in the East Asian Worker's Party. I suggest we solve the food shortage at hand before squabbling with one another."

-Jingwei, 1972.

[McWarlordiaTM]

"Watcherself boyki, or the McWarlord finna give you a haircut"
-Unamed McWarlordian Soldier

McWarlord's Haircut Context

Often used a threat, it is paraphrasing for the term "scalping", McWarlordian soldiers claim the scalps of defeated enemies. And with McWarlords being the most brutal, they have become synomynous with having lots of scalps.

[Estainia]

"Do not compare me to him again if you want the slimmest possibility of survival, 'lord'." - Sir Saustin Oyambide, Knight of the Silver Tower, pretty brutally torturing a member of the Schwarze Sonne, Belkan Crown Colony of Saint Alyssa, 1956

---

"I assure you gentlemen, if you do not open fire, they will have no such hesitation. They mean to stamp us out quickly, and put an end to this thing we are building, our society, modern and on par with the world, they will have none of it, and mean to destroy us, and it with us, in one fell swoop, so I bid you, stand and fight!" - Sir Casey Arendale, Knight of the Dragon, Imperial Civil War, May 8, 2022

[Katalonua]

"Honestly, the world is fucking backwards. The average Katalonuan is a fucking big guy, which is a problem in warfare believe it or not. Y'know, being a big fucking target. I mean, why else have Estainians been the last guys to pull off mass bayonet charges these days? They're short assholes that can cling to cover better than you or me. Sure, when you actually reach the guy, size matters, but that's the problem, you reaching the guy. And that's why my fucking back is out of shape, charging Californian guns is almost as hard as trying to fuck the Emperor- may he reign for ten thousand years- which meant keeping my head and torso low. Which meant a lot of back aches that eventually resulted in your truly needing crutches because I was there in the Tenala Islands and made it all the way until some fucking sniper grazed my spine. On that note, upper body strength, yes, to drag yourself through a firefight when your legs stop working. Through, I add, fucking through. A shitty spine does not excuse failure to serve Heaven. You arms can still work, so you can still fire your rifle."

"... Might be exaggerating a bit there, Aperamo."

"Fuck off, Kiuga."

- Aperamo Sa and Kiuga Taamu, Veterans of the Adriannic War (Deceased). Interview during an 1965 documentary.

[Wolfkrone]

"If you think the worst thing the heroes of our epics ever fought is Grendel, you need to read more of the epics and then remember they are history, not stories." - Nærfi Sigerædsson, Aesir Scholar, Omniglot and Doctor of Krone History, discussing Eslo-Krone myths with a colleague from Rome.

[Barboneia]

"The economy is failing like balls, man. This is no environment for an enterprising doom metal band. We're packing up and moving to Denmark." - Riku Alatalo, founder of the Barboneian doom metal band Kuolema Huuto (Death Cry), during the start of the 2017 Barboneian Recession.

[Fatatatutti]

"The notion that more recent things are more advanced is like saying medieval Europe is less primitive and more advanced than classical Europe."

- Jacques Robespierre, Gorgashian Historian.

"Don't confuse history with biology. Community is a product of biological evolution. It enhances the survival of the individual as well as the community."
-- Mickey Chang

[Bojikami]

"I care not for your tears, child. You shall suffer a fate same as all the rest."
-Unknown Bolshevik, prior to the execution of a member of the Romanov royal family, 1917

"All enemies of the revolution must be destroyed utterly, both within and without."
-Josef V. Stalin

[Estainia]

"My only lament is that I did not have the opportunity to execute their hero as personally as he did my kin." - Tsar Alexander Yordanov, on James Patterson

[Orellana]

"In the end, faced with a choice between doing a deal with Mr. Trump on his terms or having to cut their sacrosanct welfare programs to fund remilitarization as NATO collapses and America begins its withdrawal from the continent, the great and mighty of Europe will be brought to heel."

~ President Giovana Araujo Correia.

[Las Palmeras]

"We can't decide our national policy by whim alone, much to the disdain of the Military factions, our need for petrol demands it. However the wellbeing of the nation isn't a 'deal', it's life or death and we will not be an enormous whorehouse like Thailand again, the situation when 'American was great', the greatest humiliation our people faced decades after the catastrophic defeat at the hands of our 'liberators' in the 1890s and early 1900s. However, with the utmost sense of sacrifice we showed the American invaders they could feel pain and prevented the separation of our lands, at least. I am not saying that going up in arms against neighbors is a good option, neighbors we will always have...but we have never been a docile people. We don't share the Catholic sheepishness in the material world the Mexicans have, and we will never accept American orders, not in our hearts, at least.

A new age of protectionism will only cause short-term benefits for the people they and we claim to defend, but we'll have to go into dialogue and speak the same language to show this isn't a game. My proposal is simple: Our environment is too beautiful a recourse to be dirtied by some places- so I propose a 35% tariff on a certain hotel chain even if supposedly sales there have dropped. We're open to 'deals' which don't leave us empty-handed."
-Montserrat Zorilla, speech to the Central Committee

---

"The Premier is in a deep hole. She has to balance the pragmatic American-tolerant 'play-it-safe' crowd in the Politburo and the popular fear-mongering factions within the Defense forces who have never liked the West to maintain the minimum of approval needed to keep her post. Odder still is her background as ex-Military Intelligence in a 'moderate' party with few ex-army personnel."
-Office Lady

[Hammer Britannia]

"I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."
-Robbie Rotten.

[Gorgashia]

"The notion that more recent things are more advanced is like saying medieval Europe is less primitive and more advanced than classical Europe."

- Jacques Robespierre, Gorgashian Historian.

"Don't confuse history with biology. Community is a product of biological evolution. It enhances the survival of the individual as well as the community."
-- Mickey Chang

"... Mickey, Mickey, dig the wax out of your ears and listen to my statement more carefully. You said that what comes before is more primitive, and that what comes after is more advanced. I took offense to you utilizing the farce that is the theory of historical linear progression in your argument that community is more advanced than the individual. We're not talking about whether or not community is biological or social, we're talking about the primitive and the not-primitive. Stop moving the goalposts."

- Jacques Robespierre, Gorgashian Historian.

[Deutsch Mitteleuropa]

"Today I have been elected President. It is a great victory for myself and the Realpartei-NPM Coalition, who have been granted a majority in the Reichstag several hours after I had been elected. Together we will end the war that had been plaguing our Empire for months, and I'll be right there on the front lines when we do so. In fact, I'm going to Provinz Holland to fight alongside our troops tomorrow. And when we do end this war, know this: I am not going to revoke freedoms or institute useless regulations. I only plan to increase the might of Mitteleuropa, for we are a superpower and must act accordingly. Our military will be the envy of the world and the guarant of the freedoms that you, the citizens of this great Empire, enjoy. And to the social democrats in the crowd, STOP WAVING THAT SIGN! THE 99% THAT YOU SPEAK OF IS NOT WITH YOU!

Whew. That is all. I'm off to fight a war."

-President-elect von Wartenburg, Berlin, September 2037
