Extensive anthropological research conducted between 2021 and 2022 for a doctoral thesis determined that the optimal response to the salutation "Raider's Nation!" is infact, "Raider's Nation, baby!". This response commonly yielded big smiles, raised fists, and hoots of joy. \

"Raiders Nation, baby!" was never met by a gunshot during the study, however one unfortunate (and perhaps unwise) study participant was shot in the shoulder after responding "Go fuck yourself buddy" to the common Raider's salutation.
