Motto redirects here, but it can also mean a motto of a city, province, person, or other proper noun.

The national motto of a nation is one of the six player customizable fields for a nation, along with national animal, nation name, flag, currency and national title. A motto is usually a statement that sums up the ideals of a nation while remaining really short. However, it sometimes has absolutely nothing to do with its ideals. Then, it is usually either a message or a joke. This may be exemplefied by Okielahoma's motto of: "If at first you don't suceed, skydiving isn't for you"
