Your Leader's Opinion on AN's Leader - ♥ Mk. 14 ♥

[Babalabuska]

"I honestly feel bad for Euphrosyne. People hate her just because she's half-demon even though she didn't have a say in it. They chain her up and treat her like trash and she thinks that she deserves all of it. If she was given the freedom to grow as a person, she would be a much better leader than Lord Trokondas. I hope one day she realizes all this for herself."- Cheems

[Latorik]

"This funny dog amuses me!"

"Bring me another!"

[The Alkdorian Empire]

”This thing that believes itself to be a General is nothing more than walking insult to the military and fool to think that infighting is the best method to serve whatever nonessential cause it fights for. It will not be seen though as his officers will be too busy bickering amongst themselves before realizing that unity, purpose, and obedience to one’s superior is what gets the job done. Overall, my stance is negative.”
-Emperor Ferrios Von Stein

[Sky Reavers]

"Obedience... might be good quality for a soldier, and might serve well, when the one, who is obeyed, is competent in the art of warfare. But what if hierarchy is disrupted. One must also know, how to work on his own and complete the goal without orders. As an independent unit, who follows the common cause. Because total obedience makes an inflexible hierarchy, depending on one person. Take him out, and it crumbles.

Alkdorian empire is opposed to us at so many levels, and Ferrios is no exception. In fact, we, Sky Reavers are many factions, who have originally united into one nation for mutual defense against anyone, who would try and "civilize" us forcefully. Once, we have let oursleves to be conquered, and the legacy of our golden age was lost forever. Now, we learn new tactics and create better weapons, so never again, we shall be conquered.

He might not plot agaisnt us yet, but who knows, what gonna happen."-Shawn Bjornson

[Low bloods]

"Such a strong soul. I believe it would be an insult to say to Shawn is common man. While he has no features that make him stick out, he has the soul of a warrior, and the personality of a lion. Leading his pack he is unflinching in the face of fear, and something I admire is his ability to retain a friendly composure to just about anyone, even his enemies
It would be a lie if I said I didn't want to fight him. Such a soul definitely makes me curious of his skill."-Luden

[United Communal Burrow Republics]

"It's always much to our distaste to see a warmonger, and most of all a warmonger that launched a civil war for the sake of putting themselves on the throne. To lead so many innocent souls to death, and only use such a sacrifice to repeat the cycle of prejudice and control with yourself at the reigns is truly a horrific fate. Your kind disgust us on the council, and we do not know why the Spirits of the Universe saw it fit to give you the power to do such a thing. Truly immoral, in all senses of the term."

-The UCBR High Council

-The UCBR High Council

You truly are foolish. Speaking in such an arrogant manner, your mind must have been corrupted from reading our loreskripts, that's the only explanation for such a statement.
You must have had your eyes darting around too quickly to realize that I only participated in that civil war... And I can tell you damn well it was worth the fight! If you side with the king that we opposed you side with a murderer who kills those that are different from him and the sickened that could have been cured.

You know know not how these lands are ruled. Sure it's by blood, sure I killed the man before me to sit where I am today.
But he killed the man before him, and that man killed the woman before him. Its how you rule here, if you're so weak hearted you only get killed all the quicker. Some decided to make it harder and put an army at their door step so they may fear the people they lead in peace...
But a true king of corpses shows their strength and shows their worth. I DID NOT WAGE A CIVIL WAR, I only chose the side that I belived that stood for the betterment of my nation.
Then I sat in isolation for so long, when everyone passed away and I finally broke free from my chains and through much thought I fought the king. And I came out on top, sure there was many who decided to try and see if I was worthy and lets just say i personally have.... Warmonger who did I wage war on? I truly hate those who spread lies, if I were a monster I would tear out that tongue you have to stop that foul mouth from"-Luden

[Pandaemonic Chiheisen]

“They are many, and I am but one. To know them is difficult. To understand them even moreso. They are not the captains or the explorers or the refugees of the outside world that make their visits and homes and leaves in the world of the Horizon. They are a council of more than our entire domain. I do not wish to make judgments, but I will be honest in my views. They have a hatred for one form of rule. Monarchy...is that not...rule by family? My memory serves poorly. The council appreciates equality in all things. Perhaps it may seem in too many things, but I am in no place to know. I would ask them to explain, if my fellow residents were not so...troublesome about such intentional visitations.”
-Uemuko Schwarzschild

[Erynia and Draconia]

"I do not support Schwarzschild's anarchist political views, but she seems like a very idealistic leader who has her people's best interests at heart and I respect that."

~ President Lukas Daniels

[Wexas]

"Oh, great. Another one of ye ol' SocDem pricks. Just like your ideology, you only work on paper. You sit there above it all, stamping papers, making false promises, and sedating the people wit' them welfare checks and free healthcare. Meanwhile, you live in a fancy home in a nice city whilst there are children somewhere in some rural backwater starvin' half to death. At least be an honest prick like the rest of us, not this sleazy ideological play you modernfolk are used to. And of course, you were born in a place called 'New Portland'. Nothing but jerks come out of that city in our timeline, why should it be any different in another timeline? Grow a pair. Do actual change and stop pesterin' those who have more worries than a 10% poverty rate."
- Jerry II Walters

[Comerciante]

"What are these symbol thingies in his profile? A gaming thing? really? Well where do I look up where they mean? eh? ugh to much work we'll do double checks on this shit later.

Anyway. I got to admit it feels weird to talk about a Monarchist from Texas. Firstly because of the original history of Texas, Secondly because Texas in our world is missing a lot of it's Landmass, everything up to Dallas being flooded in by the Gulf and all that, but putting alternative timelines aside.

Mr. Waters be looking like an alroight chap. I commend him on his political abilities, and I can right sympathize with his want to travel and all that stuff. I myself have a thing for wandering about the City and the many assets that Comerciante has pocketing the world. One of the perks of the job. I also commend his current combat history... feeding someone to Gators however? Now that's just metal! by the way what's a Gator? It taste any good?

Although honestly Mr. Waters a word from the wise, Religions come and go, they never go away, but they always come back, it saves time to just consolidate what followers you got and wait for the opportunity to retake lost ground via missionaries even if it takes a few hundred years. Catholicism will return with the tide some day, your just gonna have to stomach some heresy for a bit like every other religion does eventually... unless ye be ready to take fire and brimstone to task. In which case here be my card...

Also good on ya for deciding to allow your little ones to choose their own love lives."

-Chief Enforcer Marut

[FenexOrg]

Sven Vasa "I will be honest, Marut has struck me as more of an enforcer than an actual leader. Nevertheless, it seems that she is the de facto figurehead and representative of the Comerciante as a whole. Yet despite this, Enforcer Marut has managed to build up for herself a frankly impressive résumé and I do not doubt her competence at her duties. Aside from this Marut seems to be a free, if generally apathetic spirit. It seems that time has not worn down on her ability to simply enjoy life as it is, which is always good when surrounded by those who place their position above their own psyche. Sleeping in is a sapient right, after all." "Aside from her relaxed attitude, however, I must say that I generally disapprove of Marut's ideals...or lack thereof of them. Simply put, I do not believe that it can be beneficial for one with the ability of Marut to merely let the flow of time and the fate of nations to continue as is. Though perhaps this is what allows her to be in essence, herself." "Oh, and I totally support changing the name of the 'Odyssey' to 'Marut'."

[Abbeyverne]

"I must say, he is a very interesting guy. Faking his own kidnapping to steal equipment? Pretty cool! What's not cool is that he attacked his own soldiers. That's just wrong. Also, it appears his personality is a mess. Almost feel bad for him, but then again, he attacked a soldier. STILL NOT COOL! So overall, not a guy I would want to meet in a dark alley."

- King Josephus Schmidt XII

[The Alkdorian Empire]

”Hm, based on his personality you would think he would be the libertarian type in regards to most matters involving the personal choices of the individual. Turns out, that’s not the case, he’s quite the Foreign Conservative and the go getter when involving his country in foreign conflicts but only waging war, if justified. I can respect that, given their are too many leaders out their that jump with guns blazing without understanding the full picture. In other matters, his other policies are not mine to judge as overall he seems to strive to serve in the best interest of his people which is something I largely look for, and not picking at what policies I do and don’t like.”
-Emperor Ferrios Von Stein

[Stanier]

*Looking at Von Stein's factbook and portrait on his personal Galaxy A70s with a raised eyebrow and a disgusted face*
"... Way to get that shit past the radar, Mr. Formerly-Rapture... Okay! Fourth-wall breaking stuff aside, let's try and delve into whatever the fuck await us here... Born to an Empress an' Emperor, enrolled before bein' 18 - no surprise there, typical Rap fashion from what San Lima tells me... Alright! Two paragraphs in and the edge's in full throttle already! Let's fuckin' go - Haha...! The lone survivor of the class that enrolled in the army with 'im 'cause the rest were un-fuckin'-personed, but o' course! Let's go full 1984 folks...! Sleep's for the weak, yeah right... "
*Barely holding his laughter in, trying to cover his increasingly growing smirk as he reads*
"Ha... Ha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can't fuckin' take this anymore! Feels like I'm reading some shitty WarHammer fanfic bio, an' in a sense, it is! All the edge! The whole referring to the enemies as 'primitives' and 'savages'. I'm guessing this fuck's got some space marines too. True Vonstein material here, the fuck outdid himself in his overall edginess! For fuck's sake, I really can't stop laughin' at this shit, hold on..."
- Ennio Joey Barbaro, Vice-Presidente dalla Repubblica Stanieresa, before audibly wheezing

*Looming over Ennio with concern*
"Ennio-san, are you okay...?"
*Glances at his haphazardly discarded phone's screen*
"Oh... That explains it. Sorry about him, he likes laughing at other's people's misery... Well, this 'Von Stein' character pretty much had well, a cushioned start, then he was thrown out into the oven... He survived by... Sheer fanatism? Okay, even I can't explain that. Gomen'nasai, but I'd really like to have to say something, well... Intelligent, and nice but... I really don't have much material to work with... At least he is getting some eh... Tushy? So I suppose things are fine now? I don't know? I really should log out before Ennio-san here says something not nice again?"
- Kofuku 'Kako' Kasei, Segretaria alla Vice-Presidenza di Stanier, before promptly locking the phone.

[United Communal Burrow Republics]

"The Council has decided to write their comments on the Individual who calls themselves Ennio Joey Barbaro. It is truly a positive sight to see not every human in a political standing follows some form of radical royal bloodlines, or nationalism so rabid it leads to the deaths of many. Even better, The Council is ecstatic to have heard of his rise from a common working class birth, into not only economic success, but political as well. While we may follow the tenants of Communalism in our own practices, we have no qualms with those who make a living for themselves, so long as they do so without stealing from others.

Entertainment is often a sadly unrepresented industry in all nations political processes, so to see such a prolific Public Figure take on an important role, and yet still keep their personal values, is truly impressive indeed. And speak he does, with no fear of spelling out their mind, and giving their own ideals to place on the table. If only more national leaders kept things blunt, than we might actually have impactful interactions more often. Their seeming political independence, and disagreement towards both sides is commendable, and their value of a clear political process is the most impressive of all.

So, as a final conclusion, though we may hold separate worldviews and separate economic preferences, The Council wholeheartedly commends Ennio Joey Barbaro, for being a patriot of their nation, and a more than suitable leader for their people."

-The UCBR High Council

[Sky Reavers]

"We have a council too! But our council are very different... their's is far bigger, has more than thousand of members, and we have only five so far. Their's I guess is more like a parliament... our is supreme, above parliament. And our admission standards and procedures are different. They require degree in politology and certain age. While we don't care about college degrees or age. For example, I have no college degree, and Casey James... he is 21 years old, but we both proved to be worthy. Because the free people of Sky Reaver horde are the main ruling force, and they will only follow the worthy leaders.

But, we are rather similar in terms of ideology. As far as I know, they are rabid egalitarians, just like us, and they have conquered those, who put their own gain and greed above freedom and dignity of their own folk. Although... I realize, why they killed all royal families members... to chop off the bloodline. I don't think, we could bring ourselves to do such thing should we conquer a monarchy. Yes, we punish the guilty, but we spare the innocents. Ya' know, code of honor.

The difference is that Sky Reavers don't hate monarchs, we have seen many crowned tyrants, but we have also seen the kings and queens, who deeply care for their countries.

As for opinion... I think rather positively of this collective, and would like to reach out. Establish diplomatic realtions, improve them, perhaps become closer."-Shawn Bjornson

[Surrealist Patagonia]

"Is it always that easy to invade nations and impose your own brand of ideology, Shawn? An ideology enforced from the top-down instead of a spontaneous inner revolution. Bringing a concept utterly foreign to those people that they couldn't even wrap around what to do with their newfound freedoms. No, I will not let Patagonia be the fourth nation subjugated under the blue banner. You must realize that Patagonia is something that is larger than both of us combined. It is a monster that could not be tamed but rather controlled to minimize its impact. Cut off the other head and the societal structure will come tumbling down. Bringing freedom to the troubled world isn't always so clear-cut. So Shawn, if you genuinely care about the people here then it would be in your best interest to continue support me and my regime. They have their freedom but they used their freedom to become total degenerates like me. There are other horrors awaiting for you in Patagonia if I were to die. I am the seal which locks the Pandora Box."

~ Konrad "Caligula" Svoboda, Le Patron of the Most Surreal Confederation of Patagonia

[Ignis States]

"Magnificent...!" Zen begins to chuckle, before breaking into outright laughter. His voice is tinged with a venomous contempt, moreso than usual.
"Konrad, this Patagonia is a beautiful monster. The exact opposite of an absolutist state akin to a Leviathan, yet just as fearsome and powerful! Really, despite my complete and utter, burning hatred for you and everything you stand for, this is easily the most admirable thing a man of Chaos could do: Turn his entire world to Chaos. I pray you aren't cut down by outside forces solely so I can watch this unfold."
-Zen Aigystos Kaisar

[Erianu]

"A lust for power, spurred on by the delusions of his mind. Pursuing strength for the sake of what? You speak of progress, knowledge and power but your mind is as clouded as a peasant. I see a charlatan and a commoner on the throne of your celestial empire. If you truly seek ultimate power, you would've avoid plunging an entire state into your world of dreams. After all, the shackles of bureaucracy are omnipotent. It is clear that you threw yourself in a position where you were expected to administrate and supervise the guidance of a nation and its people but nothing about your being suggests that you would bother yourself with micro-managing the state.

Tell me now, how does it feel knowing you've wasted years of your life stuck in a position that only shackled your abilities because it was the only familiar position for you to advance your standing. Glorified commoner, nothing more, possibly less. You need the bodies of others to protect your existence. Your power is artificial. Your existence is artificial. You serve yourself but you follow the footsteps of commoners. Now stare into the abyss that is your soul, empty ambition that has taken you nowhere. You may have spent centuries advancing but your mind has not caught up. I see nothing but a domineering child tearing through the garden of life, only simply to impress the other children who have already moved on. You will stand alone at one point and only then will you realize your life has been for naught."

They are not G*rmans, nor do they appear to be any threat to the Russian state.

Just wanted to let you know, you're replying to someone living on a completely different planet, in a time that would be considered as schizo-mix of medieval, renaissance and early industrial age technology, in a desert-orientated country.

Your replies are awfully identical to one another so I'm sure you didn't bother reading the factbook I linked.

"I could draw some parallels between Nebumet and Monaco, but they are not necessarily the same things -- they are lands where money flows and intrigues lie in every corner, and more so in positions of power. Its rulers have to be extraordinary to even breathe well in their seats without being interrupted. There is but so much stake... Wealth possesses men as much as men possess wealth."

"The Haftari is such a kind, it appears. She aptly looks up and fears what the gods can do to those they deem disobedient, and with this notion, she keeps her people in line, not only for the gods but for herself. But she seems to watch her back still, frequently and cautiously, for threats both domestic and foreign. And she should remain as such -- the land she rules has fragile mentality, which might be easily shattered at any suggestion of change. The Thanitari, however... I wonder what motivation it would take to become a literal slave of a nominally thankless position. I do not see much enjoyment in that line of duty, even as a former man of duty. Perhaps it is for the best that the two have met each other."

"She is even older than me, and yet she looks like a literal child. But let us not discern ourselves too much with age. In the line of ascension, it rarely matters how many centuries you have existed. Her reality must have been a completely new lore, unrelated to most that I know. And thankfully, the divide between her realm and what she calls 'outside' appears tight and strong, even if I can see her starting to open up for outsiders. I do not wish to discern myself with another lore outside my sphere of influence beyond general understanding... Completely new, even."

"As a 'leader', I would say she is neither incompetent not comically evil -- and that is already a major relief. And by Ba'athaal, why does she talk like that...? Is it her natural habit, or is it an attempt to sound 'cursed'?"
