Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

"Of these socialists and their radical off-shoots and what they advocate; this universal society of brotherhood and love. This is not the society they will create with their philosophy, the seek to deprive man of his means to love, by making love free. When love and life is free, not valued as it should be, not given as a gift but taken as the birthright of every man. Then we shall see a world that has neither love nor charity for it will be squandered. For society is the market, and the market: society, value is the underlying motivation of all action and trade the underlying principle of all relationships."
-anonymous economist

[The Solar Hegemony]

"It is most unfortunate that we find ourselves in a galaxy that is already occupied, filled to the brim with with alien empires unwilling to acknowledge our rightful place as rulers of the stars.

[Fatatatutti]

"The popular soap opera The Fishingtons was originally a spin-off from the police drama TJ Fishington which morphed into the detective series Duckworth and Fishington. It is uncertain how the plot line changed Senior Detective Duckworth into incompetent butler Duckworth and goofy sidekick TJ Fishington into tycoon Tweedsmuir J. Fishington. It is not true that William Shatner auditioned for the part of TJ Fishington. However, he did play a gangster in one episode."

[United Dixieland Territories]

"I spent a few nights just starin' out my foxhole, seein' the world under the brim of my stetson & freezin' my golldurn bollocks off; y'see, this gave me a chance to think bout' things, primarily, why I had a tube fed rifle & the cavalry corp had a good n' practical magazine fed long-iron. This may seem like a semantic difference, because nobody had them pointy cartridges yet, they hadn't been really invented past the minie` ball an' them traditional conical rounds; the Tennessee Territorial Reserve Regiments weren't exactly the best equipped in some ways, but were part of the supply chain, and them 'Blakeslee-Combine Cartridge Quivers' with the brass feed-tips n' whatnot. I just sat there fer' a while, thinkin' about how goddamn lucky them sombitches were, with their lee-clips; the lucky cavalry bastards could reload faster then we could, less cartridges in their carbine magazines, but them boys shoot & charge a whole heck of alot faster n' we could as well. Explains why we were deployed to hold & maintain positions that the dragoons took, but goddamnit, I wanted one of them thar fancy carbines!"

- President Edwin Grump and an aide, United States of Elan

Mmm... delish!"

"The majesty of the human consciousness is that it is comparable to data stored on a computer. If power is cut, in other words the person dies, the data may no longer be accessible, but it still exists. Memories, functions, thoughts - they all persist for decades, albeit in varying states of completion dependent on age. To access that data, to bring that person back to the living, all one must do is find the pieces and restore the power. For many centuries, the means to do this have eluded our grasp.

As of today, that changes."

~ from an entry into the diary of Grand Curatrix Elena Trotskaya, dated 'August 2170'.
