Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: From the plains to the ocean, From the Mountains to the sea, We shall live united, We shall stand in victory! Oh Homeland! Oh Fatherland! The land it is for me, Oh Homeland!

Oh Motherland! For all eternity
Current:
| 川が流れ、平野が広がる地に、 太陽の抱擁の下、露の優しい潮時に、 海と山々の間、美の誇りに、 自由の歩みの中、団結して立つ。 勇気の地よ、春の最初の日のように緑、 かつて勇敢な者たちがその命を捧げた君のために。 彼らの犠牲は、永遠に私たちの権利として残る、 自由の子供たち、調和の中で祈ります。 多様な系統から、一つの国、大胆で自由な、 すべてに見える統一の遺産。 二つの民族の地、連帯の中で、 私たちが永遠に大切にする、平和と統一の中で。 ====================================== In Ländern, wo Flüsse fließen und Ebenen weit sich strecken, Unter der Sonne Umarmung, im Tau's sanften Wecken, Zwischen dem Meer und Gipfeln, in Schönheit's Stolz, Stehen wir vereint, im Freiheitsschritt so holz. Oh Land des Mutes, grün wie der Frühling's erster Tag, Für dich, gaben die Tapferen einst ihr Leben, ohne Klage. Ihr Opfer, unser Geburtsrecht, für immer zu bleiben, Kinder der Freiheit, in Harmonie wir treiben. Aus diversen Strängen, eine Nation, mutig und frei, Ein Vermächtnis der Einheit, für alle sichtbar dabei. Ein Land zweier Völker, in Solidarität, Mögen wir für immer bewahren, in Frieden und Einigkeit. ====================================== In lands where rivers flow and plains stretch wide, Beneath the sun's embrace, in dew's gentle tide, Between the sea and peaks, in beauty's pride, We stand united, in freedom's stride. Oh, land of valor, green as spring's first day, For thee, the bold once gave their lives away. Their sacrifice, our birthright, forever to stay, Children of liberty, in harmony we pray. From diverse strains, one nation, bold and free, A legacy of unity for all to see. A land of two peoples, in solidarity, May we forever cherish, in peace and unity. |
Proposed:
| Ringing out from our blue heavens, From our deep seas breaking round, Over everlasting mountains, Where the echoing crags resound, From our plains where creaking wagons, Cut their trails into the earth, Calls the spirit of our country, Of the land that gave us birth. At thy call we shall not falter, Firm and steadfast we shall stand, At thy will to live or perish, O Hulstria, dear land. In our body and our spirit, In our inmost heart held fast; In the promise of our future, And the glory of our past; In our will, our work, our striving, From the cradle to the grave- There's no land that shares our loving, And no bond that can enslave. Thou hast borne us and we know thee, May our deeds to all proclaim Our enduring love and service To thy honour and thy name. Land of honour and glory; Home of Kaisers and princes, Great Hulstria, our native territory! Of the vile Gishotoi we rinse it; Majestic Hulstria valiant and free; The evil Gishotoi it trounces, Lord bless Hulstria for all eternity! Land of beauty and open spaces, We declare our love for thee, O Hulstria, adored by the masses, The people fight for your boundaries! Great Hulstria, we adore thee! In thy power, Almighty, trusting, Did our fathers build of old; Strengthen then, O Lord, their children To defend, to love, to hold- That the heritage they gave us For our children yet may be; Bondsmen only to the Highest And before the whole world free. As our fathers trusted humbly, Teach us, Lord to trust Thee still; Guard our land and guide our people In Thy way to do Thy will. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
