-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

"Nobody teaching this course is advocating that you should go out and hunt down criminals for a living. There are people in this society who do that, but they have special training before they get involved in that work. This is a straightforward self-defense course. We are teaching you to defend yourself, your loved ones, and your home from an attack."

-- Sergeant Matthew Boyle, Charlottesville Metropolitan Police Department.

[Ruridova]

"Why traumatize your children by allowing your house to be robbed when you could gun down several men before their stunned eyes?"

"Oh look, a smug foreigner, how original."
~ Sarcastic native

[Bereia]

"Anybody who has seen this nation at work knows we don't hit at all if we can honorably avoid it, so why be surprised if, when we finally do hit, we hit as hard as we possibly can?"

-- Secretary of State Amaya Tagliaferro.

"Do you know how many break-ins become homicides because the thieves don't want to leave any witnesses? If my children are traumatized I can get them some kind of help. If they're dead..."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen, to a question on her blog.

[Gorgashia]

"If I have dishonoured or insulted you, then threaten me and me alone, but don't you dare threaten my nation and its people! You can talk about how many people you've killed, but I'll tell you how many of mine I've protected! Every Gorgashian life, strong or weak, wise or stupid, kind or cruel are all under my protection as their leader. So, let me be as clear as possible; if you threaten or harm my people: I will end you. I will end you and every single fucker that followed you. I will fucking smother your shithole country with the Gorgashian flag and turn it into something respectable after I've wiped off your bloodstain from it! Are we clear?!"

- Fredrick Johnson, Marshal of the Protectorate. His usual response whenever a tinpot dictator threatens to destroy Gorgashia. As much as Johnson detests war, the line is drawn when the safety of his people are in question.

[Wisconsin9]

My job is not to coddle you, mister ambassador, my job is to kill people who pose a threat to this country.—Dmitri Kozlov, Commander in Chief, to a foreign ambassador criticizing the CSW's liberal use of nuclear weapons.

[Kota land]

[Zumreed]

"One does not simply surrender to the Enemy"
-Anonymous veteran

"Immigrants are bad for business. Tourists on the other hand...."
-Vaas Gama, owner of the Imperial Hotels and Resort Company

"All that blood and death for a tiny hill to plant their flag on? Invaders nowadays..."

[Greater Americana]

"The day has come, the night has gone. This continued status quo cannot be allowed to exist; we will start with the so called Confederacy, and then the Midwest; by then, we will have the manpower and resources allotted to us to take on California in the field. It is a shame that it has come to this, what was once the mightiest nation in the world has been reduced to squabbling city-states, what fate is this? We are not Rome; and I shall prove it, as we will die no Roman death. We march off to war, and to waiting victory; the end goal is simple, the Rebirth of a stronger United States of America!" President Johnathan Reinhardt; 2030 The Reunification Wars are still ongoing.

[Bojikami]

"The end justifies the means."
-motto of the PSG

[Estainia]

"I see in your face and in your eyes a terrifying future which I will not help you build, for this no doubt you will have me removed but I caution you, there is no good in war. There is nothing to come from endless death but more death; meaningless violence will never lead to a better world. No matter how great your losses; you have no right to inflict the same suffering upon the world that has been thrust upon you by the Gods. They chose you among billions; that you might do something greater than this, do not become some petty warlord, Dimitrian, do not become my brother, be something greater." - Edward Patterson, 2006

[Gorgashia]

..... Is that a tear rolling down my cheek?

---

"Pascifism is far from the most practical of ideals, our species long history of violence shows that, but the man who believes violence is the best solution to all problems is much, much worse. There is a difference between believing war is an answer and believing war is the only answer."

- Nestor Debbs, Leader of the First Gorgashian Revolution.

[Zumreed]

"The invaders say they're here to liberate us and overthrow the cruel Socialist oppressors. Funnily enough, the Socialists weren't the ones who burnt down a village and shot 300 civilians in the name of "Freedom". They weren't the ones who burnt our crops and livestock with chemical weapons. They weren't the ones who destroyed the rainforest with napalm. The invaders want to win our hearts and minds, by cutting them out of our own bodies!"
-Zumreedian refugee during the Zumreedian War, where thousands upon thousands of Dernovian and Wiendonian troops landed upon the shores of Zumreed after the Socialist Revolution

[Saurisisia]

"Stay out of Redwing affairs? You are the ones supporting the Communist rebels, we were merely aiding an ally against a foe that would surely destroy the Empire's culture. Your hypocrisy and arrogance disgusts me."
~ Ambassador Alfred Rodney to a representative of one of the Communist nations that had aided the rebels in the Redwing Empire in the early 1950s

[Kharsus]

"These fools accuse us of treason. But answer this: How can one commit treason towards a ruler he never followed?" - Zherar Kargus, in reference to the Soviet Union upon the outbreak of the Kharso-Soviet War of Independence.

"They hide behind their steel, but tear them from it and what are they? No, they are nothing without their weapons, without their armor. It is the might of our spirit, which makes us superior." - Zherar Kargus, after executing a Soviet tank commander ordered to annex the then-capitol.

"I cannot give speeches to rouse the people. I cannot pass laws to ease their burdens. I cannot make deals with the enemy to bring peace. But by God, I can plunge a dagger so deep into the enemy's heart that he shall never rise again." - Emperor Augustus Galkreo, widely known as the 'Emperor of Blades' for his extensive use of clandestine forces, addressing a council member on his questionable relation with the Kharsian people.

[Estainia]

"Well that was a very unsubtle way of saying I AM GOD, wasn't it?" - Cornelius Maximilian after watching "The Pandorica Opens" episode of Doctor Who

"They didn't like the sound of our language, the color of our hair or the name of our God, so they decided to try to wholesale slaughter us. So we decided to show the Belkans just how 'inferior' we really were." - Lieutenant General Lievin Cobus of Her Majesty's Darcsen Rifles Brigade during The Great War after the confirmation of the Darcsen Genocide

[Oroloo]

[European Socialist Republic]

"In response to decades of American threats, European politicians have perfected the art of trolling. Strangely, the Americans don't seem to realise that the Europeans are joking and making fun of their paranoia. This usually leads to the United States Armed Forces increasing their DEFCON level to DEFCON 3 atleast once a month."
- A history book describing the relationship between the USA and the ESR.

"To the citizens of the United States of America from the People's Parliament of the Socialist Republic of the United Kingdom,

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately (you should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary). The people of Europe will resume duties over all states and territories (except North Dakota, which we do not fancy). The People's Representatives of the European Socialist Republic will elect a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a European dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up 'vocabulary'). The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u and the elimination of '-ize.'

2. Using filler noises such as 'like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you are unable to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you are not ready to shoot grouse.

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler, although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the European sense of humour.

7. The former USA will adopt European prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast European actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast European actors to play European characters. Watching American actors attempt English dialect is an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

13. You must tell us who killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy. It has been driving us mad.

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from the People's Agency of Public Finance will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

15. Daily tea time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups (never mugs) and saucers with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

Workers of the world, unite!"
- An example of European trolling.

"Can you remind me why we're in the WA?"

"......I honestly have no clue."
- conversation between Prime Minister Alain Spenser and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wolfgang Ulrich Arnheim

[Bereia]

"Whether or not the United States possesses nuclear, chemical, or biological weaponry is no business of yours, or the World Assembly, or anybody else. We have a right to maintain those weapons regarded by us as being necessary to defend ourselves against foreign aggression. We also have the right to restrict access to military facilities, if we see fit to do that."

-- Secretary of War Albert Wilson to a foreign journalist.

---

"Yes, little European, we know you think you're better than us. You think you're superior to everybody, and believe me when I tell you that everybody knows it. Now you just run and play with the rest of the children, won't you? The adults have work to do."

-- Amaya Tagliaferro, U.S. Secretary of State.

[Saurisisia]

"Hello, can I help you?"

"Can I get a large number one, extra size?"

"But you just ate three orders of fried Cycad leaves."

"I loove fried Cycad leaves..."
~ Two dinosaurs at the entrance of a gated community

[Mashujaa]

"Secrecy is a sign that something bad is being hidden."
- Mashujaan proverb
