Your Leader's Opinion on AN's Leader - ♥ Mk. 15 ♥

[Vonum]

Liam is a good person. He knows exactly what he’s doing, well, mostly, but he is kind, mostly, and his title is cool, mostly. I should invite him to my secret party, oh well. - President of Vonum and East Viperland (PVEV) Connor Hazell

[The Merry-Men]

"Oh, top of the morn, mister Hazell! How's the family doing? Things boring as hell in the cantora as wonted? I mean, I could probably tell. Not only do you forbid certain kinds of drugs, but you're classifying them as well? What, so I can mull some doubleplusgood quality Blue Sky, but the very eyeblink I mix it with a joint, I'm bloody well in all sorts of trouble? Bleedin' hell, you lot are just the most temptingly hypocritical lot of bakker wank-monkeys since my simps. Makes me want to cut the bloody cloth of your supposedly stable society all the more. But other than that, I don't know shite about him. Maybe he should scribble himself an autobiography, perhaps a book of sorts..."

"She thinks, that we and her gang are the same. But that's far from truth. We are different. We have honor and cause, we fight for! Yeah, we both revel in violence and looting, but our reasons are different for their's, for we raise our blades and guns to protect the innocents and shall not raise our blade agaisnt them. Unlike them, we avoid committing acts of cruelty. We don't torture or torment and we don't revel in cruelty. Merry Men are something like... our dark and twisted version with core principles being corrupted and perverted. We are also hedonistic, but we belive, that hedonism must not harm others. We are just a bunch of chill dudes, who don't wanna harm others without a good reason, but just wanna chill and relax!

I find her actions and senseless violence not only abhorrent, but also a threat to us and our ideology and cause, for her actions disgrace anarchism and make us look bad in the eyes of many people. By behaving herself like a rabid dog, she gained many enemies and very few friends. She has commited countless crimes and I am gonna state, that she and her gang deserve being lined up and shot! I don't care if she is metally ill, all these victims deserve justice. In the past, our warriors have destroyed several cartels and put the MS-13 gang to gun and blade, purging them from this world.

I hate her as much as tyrants and dictators, because she is the incarnation of our darkest side and reflection of what could we have become in the darket hour after the revolution if we didn't follow the way of honor and dignity, but obeyed our inner demons. I also fear her, not because she is a deranged and extremely dangerous criminal, but because she and her gang are something we are afraid to become one day. Dudes, I am sure, that there will be a war with the Merry Men and we gotta study their tactics and prepare an operation against them, cuz this gonna be a war for anarchism's soul no less. If we win and I am sure, that we will, cuz we are not only more profecient with weapons, but also got better gear and we are actually competent at warfare and... Damn! She makes US look like a strict conservative country."-Overboss Liam Navarro

[Sheizou]

To respond to some of your questions, Mr. Navarro. I may or may not be able to help you in doing magic. I was "born" with it, but I do have some old spellbooks and enchanted/cursed objects for you to survey. I am so willing to trade with you, because I admire you and your nation with respect. Your policies and and acheivements intigue me, and also resonate with me. You and your people are most fun to be around. I also think trade between our nations would be very beneficial to us both. And we can smoke together, yes? I do have the impression we get along well, and wouldn't attempt to double cross you. I may be crafty, but more than that I am lazy. Double crossing you wouldn't be beneficial, and it would be a lot of work. One thing though, a warning if you will, never speak to a single demon lord if you can avoid it. My opinion of you is high enough to give you some of my best advice.

[The Second Circle]

"A peackeeper, eh? I can comprehend that much. Keeping stability in an uncertain world seems to be our roles to be had. That is where our similarities end though, Kira of Hell.

I can’t say I envy you or your peers, that is certain. Registering souls as if they were corn husks on a list of tribute?! Bah, the Animic Essences know where to go to when a mortal’s moment of passing comes. Hell must be a horribly managed place if the 'Spirits' of things that do not exist in the physical plane are not properly balanced. Hell must look inward if the unclean foreigners, nothing like mighty Tamoanchan.

There is nothing wrong with being a gofer mind you, all well-run realms be them big or small, rely on the backbone that are skilled public servants…even if their jobs are dreary. However, one cannot serve everybody and nobody at once. In this day and age, many erroneously believe that acts of worship are the intersection of reverence to higher callings and embracing many modernist beliefs over the separation of body and mind or soul. Consequently, they believe in a hereafter detached from this world. They forget that worship is an act that is done on this world…with very tangible work. You should know this very well, as you apparently know your place to your superiors, or at least you understand the mechanism enough to not bother the higher powers which you are submitted to.

Unfortunately, your views on the equality of spirits confuse me. Yes, the forces that manifest themselves to men as acts of nature certainly have equally important jobs that make a greater whole work…but you act as if they could have different roles than the ones they’re naturally apt for. Your world is most strange indeed. If only there were more information on you as to better judge.

But maybe you know what you’re doing if you can manage the tobacco pipe."

YUNRU
THE PARAMILITARY REGIONS

“ Right. Yes. Long time. Look, I have a lot of work, you can't just expect me to be constantly coming up with opinion letters! Much less when most of these people's stories are either completely made-up nonsense, or just flat-out uninteresting to read! And then, once you put in enough effort, what do they do, huh, what do they do?! Write some complete bullshit about "oh, your heart's dirty because you a-" SHUT THE FUCK UP! ...What is it? Just who is it this time? Nishida? Urshida? Which one is it? This isn't the so-called "magical realm", this is the realm of the living. And yet, this entire dossier just puts more emphasis on that name... why? Ah, it ain't worth it to dwell on this, is it?

Right, so where do I even start? Ah, yes, on your very nature. Or rather, on your lack of it. Because, truth be told, if I'm reading this right, you're most likely not even real in the first place! Damn it, you're not even described as any... thing, really. No, you're no more than a so-called "spirit of nature", whose entire role is to "protect" an oasis on the Western Potosi. And whatever information even exists about you isn't consistent in the first place! For the locals, you're a metaphor for nature's own forces, fickle as they are; a metaphor that nowadays is a mix of the old faiths and Christianity itself for them. And even then, are you sure they're not making your entire "existence" up as a warning for children to not get lost in the forests you oh-protect-so-much? After all, this so-called loss of "heavy matter" and transformation of humans into "spirits invisible to the human world", isn't it a perfect way to call starvation and isolation by any other name?
And as for the West? Please, to them, you're nothing but a mere device for their literature! Question, Tolya, isn't this whole "trickster who entices lonely men to have so-called fun with them" thing present in your religion? Or at least, in some stories that base themselves on legends and the Bible? What was it, the "succubus"? To them, Nishida, you're no more than that.

And to whoever wrote Dark Jungle? To whoever supposedly had Henderson's diaries and wrote a novel off them? Please, you were still just another device. Even if the purpose changed, you were still just another device. And what was the purpose? Taking the piss out of whatever was going on in the 3rd Republic of Mexico! And before you say anything: that's not me saying it, no, that's is the dossier saying it for me. If "All this says more about Mexico under the Modernizing Regime" and "the specifications about Nishida's soft land reforms, be they the quashing of sub-regional opposition under her heel or the abolishment of a clan-based serfdom to solidify central government's power, all happened under the 3rd Republic" aren't enough to tell you this, then I don't know what in the actual fuck you want me to tell you, "Your Highness", other than that, if you were ever real in the first place, that you're no longer as important as you once were. Please, can you truly be called a "spirit of nature" if you're no more than mere resources to the people you supposedly have control over?!

And yet, the dossier still goes as far as to give you any sort of "personality": nothing more than a mere pleasure-seeker, someone who abandons all forms of work to try and seek temporary pleasure in one's senses. Is this what you've degraded yourself into? Then maybe every single use of you by the natives, by the West, and by the false Henderson makes much more sense now! For if you falter in your own tasks, in your own duties and responsibilities, then someone is going to force you back into being useful somehow. Perhaps for the best, now that I think about it! If you truly were a force to reckon with in the first place, then you would've expanded your realm beyond its mere boundaries, and into the rest of Mesoamerica! And yet, there you are, taking people for your own fucking pleasure! GET BACK TO WORK! RECLAIM YOUR FUCKING THRONE IN THE FIRST PLACE! You call yourself a regent? Then take the fucking throne and make yourself Queen! Until then, however? Your entire "existence" will have the value of a summer ant. Your entire purpose will be relegated to being nothing more than a device for everyone else. And if you don't want to do your fucking job?! Cease existing in their minds, NOW. ”

Emperor Pierre I

Who do we have here now? Yunru of the Foehn Paramilitary? So you basically run an army without a state. A bit like me before I crowned myself as the glorious and completely unrightful ruler of all of Burgundy. Oh dear, this bio is sooo long and filled with boring purple prose. Who wrote this? Anatoly? Why did you write this? Its long, boring and stupid. Are you hoping to publish some kind of book after all of this is over? Become some kind of best-selling author? No-one wants to read shit like this. Which is why I'm going to get my servant to read it. (Je ne connais pas l'Anglais). Nevermind he doesn't know English. Looks like I have to actually do work and read this myself, and by reading, I
of course mean skimming.

So you were some random scientist who did science and then had to flee because of scary brainwashers. You then met up with some people and trekked through Siberia to get to Alaska, because suprise-suprise, Siberia has fuck-all. After crossing the Bering Straight you stole some weird shape-shifting vehicle from the Soviets and decide to build some refugee-camp, which then got militarized because of reasons that I probably skipped over while skimming this. You then became some workaholic paranoid bitch who decides that working herself to death was a better alternative to sleeping because you actually believe that your paramilitary would fall apart. You're the absolute ruler of the paramilitary, why don't you have some fun with it. But anyways, lets keep on reading. I'm nearly there, nearly finished with this. "A self-replicating monster that only knows two things as its mantra: consume your host's mind, then spread by whatever means are available???" What the FUCK did I just read? Spread by whatever means available? Are you actually trying to say that its contagious? Is it caused by a virus? You know what... no. I'm not going to read this further. Why don't you just do all of us a favour and skip to the part where Yuri dies and Anatoly is forced to kill you because 'what if he is not really dead though?' Because I've had enough of this.

Emperor of Earth and all Humanity

Ahhh... Let's see... Pierre... Shame... So much potential. Though I respect the office of Emperor that he held, I find that he does not respect that office, using it to gain personal glory for himself rather than his race. What good is such an office when it is used for hedonistic purposes? Pierre reminds me of an Emperor from Earth history, Jean-Bidet Bokassa, Another hedonist tyrant, obsessed with Napoleon, and ripping off his aesthetics while holding none of the values and piety that Napoleon held.
-Emperor Ayaan I

[Sky Reavers]

"I wonder, if this dude cured aging, just to make people serve him and his religions longer? Why? Why he has to be a religious fanatic? Just... why? There are many other awesomized philosophies other than ancient books full of moldy restrictions, most of which are not even rational! Now, what do we have... he cured aging, but he is an oppressor. One portion of nice and one portion of suck. Not that I don't respect his medicine investments, but I wouldn't wanna live under him, I'd just cure aging and then find a place to outwait and outlive his religious fanatic regime. A man doesn't have to obey some sky dude with lightnings to be a nice person if ya' ask me. Our opinion is not as good as it could be, cuz in the past we had enough with Abrahamic religion being forced down our throats and any attempts to force them again gonna meet a storm of bullets!"-Overboss Liam Navarro

[New Zoigai]

Any form of Anarchy rarely ever works without society becoming a badlands type ordeal, somehow this "overboss" has managed to keep his nation somewhat functional, probably because they all like to drink and whatnot. While alcohol is a pretty nice thing to have in modesty these guys probably drink until their desensitized to the dysfunction of their liver. Liam seems like a pretty decent person, but I must say his disrespect of our religion is definitely a mood killer. Unfortunately, it's something to be expected from an anarchist leader this "Sky dude" which you mock soo often has kept us safe from empires which could vaporize you exponentially quicker than we could, and though you may choose not to follow him, the people that do don't need you crapping on their parade.

[The Merry-Men]

"Ah, Mr. Tertullian! Is that big ol' towel on your head keeping the knots out of your shaggy little hair aftr a nice shower? I hope it is, because you deserve that warm shower. After all, viddy at you, veteran of 15 whole battles... wow! And you still don't have anywhere near the killcount I built up on the streets of London and New York!

I won't slander you for that, however. After all, I can admire a man who does his battle strategically, picks a precise time and area to strike and doing all he can to make sure his nation succeeds. And then you got a promotion to becoming one of the top 10 royals of all New Zoigian time... is that what you fought for? That sweet, sweet promotion? Did you airstrike, kill, shoot and cut your way through a dozen countless people just to get a new medal on your chest? Because that's what I love about the military love, as much as I differ from it; it's strict and it requires a responsibility only the strongest of people can carry, but then it lets you do whatever the hell you wish. Throw a bunch of chemicals at people, watch them laugh and cry and scream in agony, and then do all sorts of fun things with the survivors. Speaking of which, showing humility to your enemies? Nah. Not in my books. An eye for an eye. We'd carve up one of your lads with a chainsaw, why would you give us that same mercy, Mr. honorable sword duelist? Hm? Compensating for something, beardo?"

[Stalinist Soviet Union]

Since there is no AL factbook, doing for AAN's Leader:

FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PRESIDIUM OF THE SUPREME SOVIET OF THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS

"Look, I sympathize with Rothberg's traumatic childhood experiences due to her father which were undoubtedly gross on his individual part, for which he deserves blame. However, such degeneracy of father forcing themselves on children is without hesitation a byproduct of the new libertarian Western culture, which promotes such mindset. Besides, even Rothberg herself has committed worse sexual crimes. And as to Beria, I was the one who ordered his trial and denounced him in the Supreme Soviet. If it weren't for me, the world would never know of the monster inside him.

Ironically, she thinks we are the same. I cannot stop you from thinking that if it's what lets you sleep peacefully at night. But I tell you this, you and I are complete opposites. We will never be the same and I will never even have an atomic amount of favour for you, let alone respect or admiration as some "patriot". Yes, I may be an autocrat, an autocrat of autocrats, but I am an efficient one. My people not only have bread to eat but we no longer have to import consumer goods, thanks to my 7th Five Year Plan. My people ranging from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok get electricity, their children get quality education from nursery to university, all for free.

Yes, thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions have been sentenced to labour under the Gulag, but all victories come at a cost. I did it for the welfare of the USSR and for the victory of the proletariat. You, on the contrary, kill for pleasure. You enjoy seeing innocents dying and being tortured. Even if you orchestrate hundred such New York attacks across the capitalist world, the fact is that the innocent poor American or British is equally a victim of the violence, and I will never be able to make myself support this lack of civilisation."

- Comrade Georgy Malenkov, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and General Secretary of the Bolshevik Party of Lenin-Stalin

For BN: You can either do Comrade Malenkov, or his deputy Comrade Kaganovich

[Sky Reavers]

"And so he admited, that his regime just ensalved people! I don't give a shit about the goals, cuz I don't think, that all folks from these millions are criminals. My dude, it's possible to give free universities, electricity and other amenities WITHOUT the slave mill known as GULAG. So he is not even the most efficient. I mean, social democracy also gives nice amenities for all, but without that bureaucratic mess planned economies create. While totalitarian regime that gives people amenities is still better than totalitarian regime, that doesn't even give anything in return for oppression, but... then again, it's a totalitarian regime, which is a pretty low bar. We also can control territories, give people nice things, and even bash da' fash, but we do all that without resorting to putting random people to Gulag for snathcin' three grains or telling a joke about the government.

Oh, he'll surely say, that political jokes damage the state's ideology. Then there is something wrong with the Soviet idea of Marxism, if it can be damaged by some joke. How the hell ya' gonna make it stand the test of time, if ya' have to literally nanny it and protect from every opinion, that is not orthodox Marxim-Leninist?

But the saddest part, is that there are things we agree on! I and him both belive, that unresrtained capitalism causes harm and just lets some robber barons suck the last drop of blood from a common man. We agree, that every man, woman and child should be able to get food, clean water and a place to call home. We agree, that education is important and must be available to all. And we both agree, that one should always be able to get medical care, no matter how much money he has. But our ideas of implemenation and authoritiy differ so much, that it's almost impossible to find any agreement. It'll be a sad reality, tha they will consider us "Degenerate thugs" and we shall consider them "Totalitarian oppressors". I respect his achievements, but I loathe the methods.

Oh, and one more thing I agree with him on, I forgot to mention... Merry Men gang are just a bunch of terrorists and getting rid of them would do world much good."-Overboss Liam Navarro

[Mechyrdia]

Kjarossa Kova Keisarelka Liha Vilakauva

Liam Navarro, you are an idiot. First of all, whatever university you went to is really more of a diploma mill than any actual institution of learning. Those "twelve labors" are not impressive, they are mindbogglingly stupid. Theft of art, breaking a criminal out of prison, and taking illicit photos of someone, likely without her consent. That the rector would accept these in exchange for both letting you slack off on your thesis and a financial reward is just disgraceful.

Edgar and his "religious zealots" (as if that were a bad thing) may have started trying to destroy Enthorean culture, but you and your petty warband have finished the job in a way Edgar could only dream of. You belive - not believe, "belive" - that Enthorean culture can still inspire the people. I will let you in on a little secret: HEDONISM IS NOT A CULTURE, YOU MORON! Your people poison themselves and each other with drugs and promiscuity, and whenever some people foreign to you wish to maintain their traditions, you invade and force your poisons onto them.

Hmm, I do have a question: what do you do when you invade a place and find that its masses, the people who live there, are predominantly socially conservative? Assuming you do not just pretend that such a thing is impossible, which it is not, do you just force your hedonism onto the people? What do you do when they reject it, do you punish them for wanting to keep their traditions?

Ogus am-Yuli Khan

Ahahahahaha, this is glorious! I love hearing about the destruction of faith and tradition - no, I really, genuinely do. See, everything that you've done, Overboss Navarro, is everything that the Eternal Eminence, the one true god, desires of all life. To abandon old false idols and binding traditions, and embrace our baser natures! Why shouldn't we as people enjoy ourselves, by doing as many drugs and having as much sex as we want? Sure, some conservatives (nasty people, really) might claim that our behaviors are "self-destructive". But, so what? Better to satisfy our deepest desires and die early, than to live as prudish snobs.

You and I, Liam, we're basically identical. We're both smart, fun guys who became the leaders of our respective peoples, we both support the same policies, and we both wage war against reactionary idolators. Honestly, I'm tempted to send my son and ambassador Galik to your land to negotiate an alliance and mutual declaration of friendship.

Y'know, I don't want to look like I'm sucking up too much, but I can't really think of any negative aspects of your character. Other than the poor grammar and spelling in your dossier, but really, that's just a kind of Aedon-blessed despoilation of its own, a beautiful desecration of language.

Tell me, Navarro, would you like to serve Aedon? I mean openly, of course. You're already serving him with actions, but I'm interested in knowing if you would like to serve him with words as well.

BN: Do either Liha or Ogus, doesn't really matter which one. I just do this because I enjoy contrasting two of my leaders' perspectives on AL.

[Gonswanza]

"And so I dub thee a fool, one following a fool who follows others blindly, without any guidance off the path of self destruction through the image of some higher being."

And so it is true, hilariously. Despite her struggle, despite her history, she still follows the path of self destruction, one she has doomed her people to take. Even if she is all powerful, supposedly all knowing, all seeing... She is but a mere mortal playing up the facade of a god, for the sake of pushing around her own ideals as a religion. And yet, to be so close-minded that the only path is her own with any other ideas being shuttered? Comedy, truly. At least you can spit on one's face first before destroying them, just to grant them a precious moment of misery first. You disgust me.

-Laura Ortiz

[The Merry-Men]

"Ah, ah, ah! Viddy at the new guest, Ms. Oritz Crackers! I'll just say personally, off the record, I am a big fan of your style and methodology. Even though I'm not all that keen on authoritarianism, the way you project yourself and how you don't apologise or defend anything that isn't crucially ethical is just beautiful. I only wish I had the ovaries to just simply explode on the mic like you do, instead of having to compose myself as someone actually decent every once in a while, and then there's this big thing we both have in common: power. The power over minds, voices, people and culture. You say even a pip about crossing a river, and your army springs to its' feet as they march and die in such quantities that it builds a bridge for you to walk on to your goals, just like me. But whereas I pick the downtrodden and rejected of society off their feet and give them a new purpose, you take their purposes and turn them into your own destiny. And the carefree attitude you have behind it all, in that the ends justify the means and as long as you're secure and happy, is just the cherry on top! And we do have that thing in common about how we were raised as kids sending us down a horrible path... but whereas your daddy simply carted you off to military school and had you taught and disciplined for the battlefield, mine didn't even bother and would just bash me and shove a broomstick handle where the sun don't shine everytime I made as much as a noise while he was drunk.

Now, I'm not loyal to any nation, and particularly not a dictator. But I like you. No... I love you. Let's all go on a little beach trip to the coast of one of the smaller islands and just enjoy a nice espresso martini on the sand. And once we've had enough of them, we'll all play a drunken, high game of volleyball, and then maybe do the exact same thing in a neutral country's land. And if they try to boot us out, well... you bombard them from the coastline and air, and my boys will deal with boots on the ground just fine. Then again, you might also want me dead like everyone else I've ever fancied or trusted in too well... which in that case, here is how I want to be executed!"
~Mary Rothberg

[The Xylvannian Empire]

" Ms Rothberg is a dangerous criminal and a threat to the stability of our society. Her actions have caused immeasurable harm, and she must be brought to justice. However, I must admit that her particular skill set could be useful in addressing certain... complications that have arisen. Of course, any cooperation with her would have to be strictly monitored and controlled, lest we allow a monster like her to run amok further. In short, while I condemn her past actions, I cannot deny the potential usefulness of having her as a tool at my disposal, albeit a dangerous one. But necessary to see the job done, and if done well...We'll see."

[The Astellian Kingdom]

Queen Ashlotte

"Who is this person and why does he wish to be seen as some 'mastermind' of political deception and manipulation? I think a more apt description would be a mastermind of arrogance, ego, and tyranny. It's sick to see how some people would rather plot for their own gain than to really support their people. It creates distrust. Even if you were to do a good deed, the only thought in the back of someone's head would be 'what's the catch?'. A nation is not some tool to be used for personal fame and glory."

[Remulia]

"Ashlottte is an interesting queen: she was close to the previous leader, and is trying to continue her legacy by improving their tech, and society...something i commend so great, and i would do the same...if my predecessors weren't that bad. Protecting the Astels is something i would had did in her place. I hope to date he, i mean, meet her in a near future, yes, that i was thinking...hehe"

Роман II Романович Романов

From what little is available about the "Clan-Chief", I've been able to deduce that he is, without a 
doubt, little more than a barbaric simpleton. Even if he might be a capable military leader, his 
absent-mindedness is an irredeemable flaw.
