One the eve of the Grand EPO counter offensive, president Olivia Yeltsin of the Unificationist Pacific States gave this grand speech to rally, inspire, & motivate the troops..... "My Brothers & Sisters in arms, i'm sure most of you have heard some rumors about a major counteroffensive being launched soon....... & these rumors are correct, for today is the day we stop acting cute & end this bloodbath! Also, the rumors of me & their "Emperor" having constant phone calls are also correct, & according to their "Emperor" they are not invading us over the Iron blood, they are invading us for "Living Space" due to a overpopulation crisis on their own planet....... He claims he is not here to conduct a genocide, but there is simply too many people already living in this solar system. From the outer Asteroids, to below the oceans of earth. Several Trillion people live here....... There is no possible way they can get their "living space" without a genocide or mass deportation...... AKA "Cleansing of the social". I have told them they could just terraform uninhabited planets instead of stealing from already inhabited ones, but i guess terraforming is just too hard for the "advanced" Elves, their emperor is too lazy to terraform & instead seeks conquest of what is already terraformed(he has also said he is invading our solar system for "Security reasons" EVEN THO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IS NOT EVEN IN THEIR GALAXY) But their answer is NO. THIS IS OUR NATIVE SOLAR SYSTEM! OUR SACRED HOME! Do their people have generations buried under the ground who fought & died to make life better for us? Did their people suffer under the horrible conditions of asteroid mining in order to make them habitable? Was it them who spent generations of hard work terraforming the moon & Mars? Did they suffer through the horrors of the Alien space pirates bent on enslaving & selling us? Did their great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfathers sacrifice themselves in WWII against the No-no Germans? Do they have generations of family buried here? Did they survive the great asteroid impacts? Did they survive the nuclear winter after WWIII? Are they fighting till the death against the blight? Corsairia has NO RIGHT to own a single inch of this solar system! it is soaked in the blood & tears of OUR people! not theirs!, They have no right to take the planets we worked so hard to terraform! This is our native solar system, not theirs...... This is our home, not theirs...... They have no right to exploit the lands soaked in the blood of our ancestors for resources! They have no right to tell us how to live our lives, they have no right to interfere in the affairs of our people. We choose our own path, not them! & even if we did let them have a bit of this solar system, they have a history of lying, scamming, changing the deal at the last minute. They do not honer their agreements....... I cant help but notice how similar this is to the native Americans..... At first its just a treaty & a tiny bit of territory, but soon enough they'll start bending the rules, & rob us of our homes. They'll just make treaty, after treaty(which they have no intentions of following). Annexing lands, after lands. Until we have nothing! These Corsairians are a nation of robbers!, con men!, scammers, & Pirates..... Nothing but a band of criminals trying to steal all that we have spent blood to build because they are too lazy to built it themselves! But today we say NO. You all must remember you oaths, to mother earth, you must protect her at ALL COSTS. The entire Marican people officially only exist for this one purpose!..... The children of earth will fight till the end of time against those who wish harm on our mother earth! So, i President Olivia Yeltsin officially declare..... A "War of Eternal Resistance" against the "pirates". We will except no treaty except for the complete withdraw of the "Pirates" OUT OF OUR NATIVE SOLAR SYSTEM!, so raise the flag of defiance! & promise, not me, promise mother earth you all will show every drop of defiance as you can! From now on, dying in battle is a privilege..... Each of you is worth 100 "Pirates"! you are not allowed to die until that quota is filled...... Fight like your home, loved ones, & everything you cherish in life is under threat....... Because it is........ But this is the difference between you & their soldiers, you are fighting for our home, your loved ones, & the simple right to simply exist....... While their troops are sent to waste an eternal life that was ahead of them, all because some emperor fat on pride, greed, & glory is too lazy to just terraform his own planets...... They have given us one of the best possible reasons to fight them!" *Just a few hours after the speech, moral was boosted to sky high & the counter attack launched........ With fantastic results, unless your a Corsairian pirate....*
(A bit of context) Ever since the first contact with alien life(during the gem crisis) the Marican culture has shifted from a pacifist culture, to now a almost cult like belief that the Marican people only exist to protect the solar system, it is our only purpose in life. As the SCP foundation says.... "We die in the dark so that humanity can live in the light" This belief is not forced by the government, there are no laws forcing everyone to believe this...... These Harlanist ideals have just become so molded into Marican culture & society over the course of 300 years, that its become a big part of the Marican Identity....... & WW VIII & the Corsairian invasion have only made this belief stronger, as many in Marica now fully believe communism is a alien ideology sent to weaken earth for colonization. The Corsairian use of the words "Extermination" & "Living Space" have obviously ticked off the entire nation, as the majority is convinced these "Pirates" are here to conduct a mass genocide of the solar system...... Especially since they tried to do it before, & have a history of going back on their word..... The war against the CIA & "Pirates" has left the Marican people more united then ever before in its history.....
