The misguided fools of [STG.GetName] have defied us for far too long. Their secession decades ago was but a stroke of luck and weakness, but now their great experiment comes to an end. Stalliongrad shall be Princessyn once more.
The Deer of Olenia have lived in fear and uncertainty for too long as a result of weak leadership. It is only right for a powerful sovereign to assert themselves over those who require protection, and the Sun has plenty to spare.
The griffon colony has long languished in squalor and poverty, led by incompetent cronies and egotists. They are a threat to stability and Harmony, they need to be subjugated and pacified.
The backwards Yaks are practically begging for guidance, with their constant bickering and fighting. It is a miracle that they haven't collapsed unto themselves after so long - let us see how their famed stubbornness matches against the might of the Sun.
Bears and Penguins are an isolated, backwards species, but their land is worth more than their lives. To secure northern shipping routes and any minerals they are sitting on, they too will be brought to the Sun's great fold.

The very existence of Chiropterra as a national entity is an affront to Daybreaker and her holy reign. The time has come to wipe their miserable regime away and destroy thousands of years of abhorrent Nightmare worship, for the good of ponies everywhere.
Despite our previous reforms to the Equestrian society, it is still not enough, and drastic measures need to be taken in order secure our victory against the traitors and rebels. The Empress will have unity, whether they like it or not.
