High Consul of Liberty
"Today, I stand before you not as a conqueror or tyrant, but as a guardian of our shared vision—a sanctuary where strength is respected, ambition is rewarded, and freedom is absolute. New Libertalia is not merely a nation; it is a testament to the power of those who dare to defy the chains of mediocrity. Together, we have forged a realm where the bold thrive, and the world must reckon with the indomitable will of those they sought to cast aside. Under my guidance, we shall secure our legacy and ensure that New Libertalia remains a shining beacon for all who dare to dream dangerously." – Lady Armora, High Consul of Liberty
"An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove. The position of High Consul is a delicate balance between raw, unyielding strength and the subtle, calculated grace of diplomacy. It requires not only the ability to crush those who defy the council's vision but also the finesse to unify the unruly masses of New Libertalia under a singular purpose. To lead this nation of rogues and dreamers, one must wield power with precision, offering the illusion of leniency while maintaining an unshakable grip. The High Consul is not just a figurehead but the iron core around which our society revolves, cloaked in the trappings of charm and legitimacy. They must be the one to embody our ideals, yet remain ready to enforce them with merciless efficiency."– Doctor M, Founder and first High Consul of New Libertalia
"Liberty, but at what price? New Libertalia calls itself a beacon of freedom, a haven for those who refuse to kneel before laws and moral codes. But what is this freedom if not a veneer to mask the chaos and cruelty beneath? Yes, the strong thrive here, but it is the weak who pay the price—those caught in the crossfire, those used as pawns in endless games of power and ambition. Liberty is a fine ideal, but when it is built on fear and exploitation, it ceases to be freedom and becomes tyranny by another name. To rule by strength alone is to forsake justice, and in their pursuit of dominance, the leaders of New Libertalia have created a land where liberty exists only for those who can take it at a terrible cost to everyone else."– The Atomic Arbiter, Retired Superhero
