Quotes of people in your nation MK.III

[Tellus Mater]

"We have seen it before, we will be here while you march off in your columns, we will be here when those same columns are running backwards in disarray before the world you caused to hate them. Many conquerors predate you, many more will follow you. We will not empower you... That much. After all to record what you're going to do will be most interesting." - Ambassador Gaius Marius, prior to giving several highly advanced weaponizable designs to Terran scientists in central Europe in the 1930s.

He got reassigned for a lot of reasons.

"Mr. Jawad Hassan was arrested by local police on the 3rd of July, 2013 for the attempted murder of his daughter, Ms. Zakiyya Hassan, for "dishonorable" action in refusing an arranged marriage between herself and one of her father's business partners. At the time, Ms. Hassan was sixteen years of age, and the intended partner, a Mr. Jaleel Nissar, was thirty-two. Evidence suggests the intention was for the marriage to be consummated on the wedding night, which would have been in violation of local law, as Ms. Hassan was not yet eighteen years of age. Witnesses report that his crime was very clearly visible. Mr. Hassan lifted his daughter bodily over the edge of the balcony while another relative prized her hands from the rails, and threw her down. She only survived because she landed on the rooftop of a nearby garage. She was quickly taken by several bystanders to the hospital, while the police were called. Mr. Hassan and the other relatively were forcibly held in place by their neighbors until the police had arrived, and they were taken into custody. The jury found Mr. Hassan guilty of attempted first degree murder, and he was sentenced to death by the court. The other relative, convicted as an accessory to the crime, was also sentenced to death."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen, discussing a court case.

[Gorgashia]

"What parts of history strike me the most? Well... I suppose it is... The actions of men in past times. Men whose skill crafted beauties that we can look upon with only admiration or envy. Men whose wisdom still enlighten and inspire us today. Men whose kindness can still warm the hearts of today. Men whose courage can still ignite the flame within said hearts. Men whose jokes can still make us laugh. Men whose suffering can still make us cry. As a historian, a man who is nowhere near as skilled, wise, kind, courageous, funny or endearing as those men who captivate me, it is my duty to ensure that the sands of time do not consume them. That people do not forget them as long as there are people. The human beings of the past, our greatest of grandfathers and grandmothers, motivate historians, such as myself, to dive deep into the jaws of time itself and proclaim 'You will not take their memories from us!'"

- Jacques Robespierre, Gorgashian historian.

I find it hilarious that that's his last name.

"I'm well aware of the cosmic coincidence that I am both a historian that plays devil's advocate for some of the more 'tyrannical' members of Gorgashian history and share the last name and ethnicity of the man responsible for 'The Great Terror.' I will admit, it is funny."

- Jacques Robespierre, Gorgashian Historian. Leaning a bit on the fourth wall.

"What happened to Abenaki's wife and child is... Unknown. That's literally what all the history books of Gorgashia say. Because, well, we don't have a solid clue as to where they went. King Abenaki had a detachment of the Royal Guard sneak them out of Gorgashia and that's all we know... Okay, yes, there are theories and I shall indulge a few. Some say they ran to California where they could hide among fellow natives. Others said they fled to Arcadia and possibly Estainia for obvious reasons, monarchists that endured a Socialist revolution have to stick together. Then there's the... Creepy theory. Some say they went to Beusuandille, their former enemies, because it would have been the last place anyone would've looked. Now, this theory seems insane to anyone that knows about the Great War, the Royal Guard lost millions and Arthur Abenaki his leg to the Beusuans. But, well, there are a few accounts of a family among the Beusuan aristocracy that is surprisingly fluent in Gorgashian language, customs and other cultural aspects. The accounts aren't confirmed and most folks dismiss them as futile sparks of hope to what is left of Gorgashia's Monarchists. Still, there are accounts of the few men who did pursue that theory. Unfortunate accidents befell either them or their contacts. Which could explain what happened to the Royal Guard detachment that escorted the Royal Family, minus Arthur, out of Gorgashia. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to shut up before I end up choking on a poisoned bagel tomorrow."

"Of course we don't expand anymore. We have no reason to. We are an empire of the Slavic people, and as far as I know, the only Slavs that do not live within our borders live all the way over in Bojikami."

[Dwenland (Ancient)]

I am opposed to the idea of monopolies, that is why I support capitalism."

~Chancellor Terise Sordon

[Euro Asian Republics]

"Though we had taken the airfield, the damn Suns are still holding on to most of the inland parts of Peleliu. A maze of trenches, tunnels and artillery positions run through this god forsaken rock. The Suns are dug in deep and we have to get our hands dirty. Flamethrowers; we'll burn them out." -- Journal entry of Kurt Irving, during the Battle of Peleliu.

Kurt Irving was one of the very, very few Euro Asians to have taken part in the Adrianic War, except Kurt signed on as a member of the Californian Marine Corps at the age of 15.

[Allancia]

"The government has noticed that in the farthest reaches of our empire, there is trouble. The barbarians are forming a nation, all for the sole purpose of our destruction. They despise our power over lands that once belonged to them and our dominion over science and technology infuriates them as they fail to even grasp the basic principles of motion. We shall swiftly terminate them with a military engagement."

-Unknown
Politician

- Marshal Quiwin

[Saurisisia]

"You don't think much of the individual, because you don't think you hit him and you hope that he managed to bail out or something. It's the airplane you hit and normally, it was like a game of sorts if you interpret it that way; as you were outwitting and shooting down another aircraft, simply hitting metal."
~ Major Linus Gaddolfi, Saurisian ace and veteran of the First UDR War, Summer Revolution, and the Redwing Civil War with sixty-three confirmed kills to his credit

[Las Palmeras]

"That's a rock and a hard place. Gloria Ramírez Mora has been in a relationship with that guy who's technically one of the 'Grandes de España'. And that's not very comfortable seeing as how Article 3 of the Constitution of 1978 states that: 'Peerage is fraudulent. Nobility and titles of Nobility are an impossibility within the People's Republic of Las Palmeras'. So he gives up his title, or she gives up her citizenship if they really mean it.

Then again, the feeling is mutual. I can't really say any traditional Spaniard would be happy about some artist marrying a 'barely practicing Catholic' and ex Gravure/Pin-up girl."
-Gloria's assistant

[Ruridova]

"So restricting who can vote with strict ID laws at the voting booth protects our freedoms, but making sure we aren't selling guns to criminals with strict ID laws at a gun show is an extreme violation of our freedoms? I'm a tad confused."
- Leopold Dietkrech

[New Frenco Empire]

"That happened here, said policewoman would be stripped, mercilessly beaten by her fellow officers, and had her brain fried to be turned into a drone slave. We can tolerate a lot of evils. Police brutality is not one of them."

-Ygritte Kline, reading an ancient news article (dating back to 2014) involving a police officer gunning down an innocent teen armed with a Wii remote and further harassing said teens' grieving sister

[Las Palmeras]

"Of course The Office Lady has a personal life...supposedly she stays up late watching TV at taking notes, and then comparing them to the 'Race Tropes' in hopes of identifying stereotypes that may 'offer resonances' in Real Life."
