Maîtres chez nous

Maîtres chez nous (French for Masters of our own Home) is a nationalist motto in Ainin, dating from the Aininian Revolution. Originally a rallying cry against the Namorese and later Nevan occupation of Ainin, it has remained in the public consciousness due to its use by many campaigns over the years, including by protectionists, anti-Esquarian Community activists, xenophobes, integrationists, linguistic prescriptivists and nationalists.

It is also the name of Ainin's border sovereignty naval operations and is used to describe a hallmark of Aininian foreign policy. When used in the latter, it refers to the interventionist and according to critics, imperialist policies employed to the so-called our region, usually defined as Arnborg and greater Nautarya. It gained prominence in the 1880s with the creation of the Aininian colonial empire, and remains used in the context of discussions regarding Aininian intervention in Nautaryan civil conflicts and potential invasion of Arnborg over its genocidal policies.
