| Message | "quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur" I don't think that Latin quotes (despite how much I like the language) are very necessary. Our current motto is in the common tongue of Sekowo (Tsekwon). You can read about it here: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Tsekwon Admittedly, it looks pretty bad, but that's just because Particracy can't process the IPA symbols that the Communist Party has kindly arranged. Here's a very rough approximation to how it sounds: mey-shi-IL-u. eh han-ich-YES-e-fon kwe chehw VEL-wai bho-mai-TON-yesch If everyone would prefer a different language, I'll be happy to make one that sounds a lot better, but in any case we should have a native tongue produce our national motto. |
