The slightest acquaintance with history shows that powerful republics are the most warlike and unscrupulous of nations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every country that's ever been the most powerful country in the world ceases to be the most powerful country in the world at some point.
For not only every democracy, but certainly every republic, bears within itself the seeds of its own destruction.
While The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it is also the most detested nation that the world has ever known.
Behold a republic standing erect while empires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own armaments - a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are only feared.
For starters, this country embodies something utterly unique: History's first democratic empire. Beginning in the post war era, we have used free trade and democracy to create a series of interlocking relationships that end war.
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
There is no nation so powerful, as the one that obeys its laws not from principals of fear or reason, but from passion.
The weapon of the Republic is terror, and virtue is its strength.
Powerful indeed is the empire of habit.
