Gordon Rennie: "It always struck me that the Nazis were real people, they got up in the morning and loved their kids and then did all these horrible things, so you can't just dismiss them as monsters. Although my Norts are more Soviet than Nazi, to an extent. I wondered what it would be like to live inside a society like that; the inhumanity of it, and how people still manage to function." Thrill-Power Overload, extended edition.
Jaegir: "Kashan Storm-Commander Iskar Kansezy. Your last-stand defence of Zhulanski Point was an exemplary piece of force deployment and courage under fire... your treatment of the civilian population of Mesar Secunda considerably less so."
Kansezy: "Ah yes. For every noble act, there must also be one of regretful necessity. Such are the unpleasant realities of war..." 2000 AD prog 1938.
Kansezy: "Rodina's oath, we killed a lot of Souther genetic freaks that day. Shot them out of the skies like burning blue angels." 2000 AD prog 1940.
Jaegir (narrating): "We of Nordland have a talent for being our own worst enemies." 2000 AD prog 1943.
Kansezy: "Everything we do, we do for Nordland." 2000 AD prog 1944.
Markha: "These two, their parents were taken away by the Office of Patriotic Loyalty. No one else -- neighbours of family -- would take them in. What a fine new world we fight for, where fear makes us turn our backs on our own children." 2000 AD prog 1997.
Markha: "An entire company mutinied. The whole division was lined up and given cudgels. Any mutineer who successfully ran the gauntlet would be pardoned. Baba Yaga's eyes, but there was nothing left that even looked human when we were finished with them." 2000 AD prog 1998.
Nort (watching a man on fire): "Ha ha ha! Look at Piedr's face! It must be his first shell-cooked Souther!"
Sergeant: "You raise that rifle for a mercy kill, boy, and you'll have me to answer to." 2000 AD prog 2002.
Narrator: "Fydor and Klesst's flight systems failed two minutes into the descent. She watched them fall for two minutes more until they were swallowed by the ash clouds billowing up from below. Tarya's heat shield failed. For six more minutes, she watched her friend burn as they fell together. A guidance system error saw Sergeant Kolovka land in a field of lava geysers. True Nordlanders, all. Not one of the four broke radio silence as they died." 2000 AD prog 2006 (published November 2016).
Traitor General: "The Norts sometimes liquefy the remains of prisoners, turning them into a meat-gruel to be fed to certain alien allies." 2000 AD prog 2009 (published November 2009).
