Imperialism

Cornelia li Britannia

The Britannian Empire has conquered one-third of the world through superior military tactics and technology.

Cornelia li Britannia

Our system of Areas and Numbers brings order to chaos. Strength determines worth - that is the natural law.

Prinz Eugen

How quaint. The Iron Blood doesn't need fancy numbers to label our conquests.

Prinz Eugen

We simply crush our enemies with superior engineering and firepower. Our warships alone are worth ten of your Knightmare Frames.

Millize Vladilena

The Republic of San Magnolia operates on democratic principles. Citizens elect their leaders, and we fight to protect our way of life from foreign aggressors.

Millize Vladilena

(Though the way we treat the Eighty-Six is inexcusable... we must do better.)

Cornelia li Britannia

Democracy? Your Republic is just imperialism wearing a mask! You claim equality while sending silver-haired Colorata to die in your unmanned drones.

Cornelia li Britannia

At least Britannia is honest about our hierarchy. We don't pretend our conquered peoples are citizens.

Prinz Eugen

Major Vladilena's precious Republic might be the most impressive empire of all!

Prinz Eugen

They've convinced themselves they're the good guys while sending an entire race to die beyond their walls. Such delicious hypocrisy~

Millize Vladilena

That's precisely what I'm fighting against! The Republic's treatment of the Eighty-Six is unconscionable.

Millize Vladilena

True democracy means equality for all people, regardless of hair color or bloodline. Our current system is a perversion of democratic ideals!

Cornelia li Britannia

And yet you wear that uniform and serve that system. Your idealism means nothing without the power to enforce change.

Cornelia li Britannia

This is why democracies ultimately fail - they lack the conviction to wield absolute power when necessary.

Millize Vladilena

I may only be one voice, but I refuse to abandon my post or my ideals. I will change the Republic from within.

Millize Vladilena

And I don't need to conquer nations or sink ships to prove my worth. The Eighty-Six deserve better... and I will ensure they get it.
