| Message | I have the right to watch my house burn down. This means I have the right not to use the firefighter services. This means I shouldn't pay for them. Simple, isn't it? |

| Message | Remember, there are no provincial governments, only local areas and the Empire. Local governments only take in very small revenue from rates, etc. Fire departments are important enough to be fed off the much larger tax-funded Imperial Treasury. |

| Message | Look at our budget. The local governments receive nothing from the Imperial treasury. Local governments depend on little bits of income from car licensing fees, property rates payments, etc. |

This is the kind of jingoistic ideology Zardugal would bring to the Security Council. They will throw countless lives away in pursuit of former glory." - Prince Akhaias, former Coburan royal |
