| Message | The so-called "Grand Miko's" demon worshipers are but a dangerous pack of rabid cultists, seeking the abolition of the one thing that makes Sekowo great and powerful, the Divine rule of the Ishidas. The Tōhōkai is guilty of treason against the Empire, by placing their sectarian view of the gods above the Empress, our Goddess among men. All Sekowan citizens are equal subjects to Her Imperial Majesty, whether they be Kamist, Orinco Polytheist, or Hosian; to claim otherwise is to insult the wisdom of Sun Goddess Amatubime, who entrusted the Ishida with the rule of our Empire. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
