Current:
"Beneath the Likatonian Skies" In the heart of every Likatonian soul, Lies the spirit of freedom, brave and bold. From the Luthori shores to Likatonia's land, We carved our destiny with our own hands. Beneath the Likatonian skies, so vast and wide, Together we stand, with pride side by side. From East Bolton's gold to the fields of green, In every heart, the Likatonian dream is seen. Through the trials of revolution's fiery night, We sought our liberty, our sacred right. In unity, our voices rose as one, Under the banner of freedom, we were never undone. From the Native Likatonian's ancient song, To the settlers' hopes, enduring and strong. In every corner of this land we roam, Likatonia, forever our home. In the east, where the wild frontiers call, To the western lands, where the mighty rivers fall. Our nation's story, a tapestry so grand, Woven by every woman, child, and man. Arise, Likatonians, in unity and might, For our land, for our freedom, for our right. Under the Likatonian skies, we pledge our love so true, To our beloved land, red, white, and blue. |

Message | Immerssence Inc do not know of Jimmy, or Lorrell, and we have another term for Promised Land; Likatonia. We don't want an anthem that sounds like a credulous nursery rhyme, so that first pile o' crap is right out. Equally, the lack of grammatical propriety, and the use of the slang 'baby' in the second really puts us off. We will, absolutely, vote for neither of these, as they both, to use common parlance, suck. |

Message | {OOC} Also, having put this to vote, we will now have an anthem that includes 'youtube' reference and titles, and two anthems. Christian, you are an absolute Tuba at times. |

Message | It is our delicate opinion that this document is of sufficient merit that it would be a waste of our urine to piss on it, if it were on fire. |
