Description[?]:
| In order to propose a current National Anthem, we have proposed an Ode to our great land. A) The ode follows these lines A1)http://youtube.com/watch?v=mwaAtVgsl4E This is because we believe the Likatonia should be a loving land, a joyful land, that is peaceful, unless messed with. It should be an accepting land, with her arms open to all that wish to come here, through the golden door. Even if one does not understand the language that the song is sung in, what does it matter? Music IS the Universal language. We present to you an ode, to Joy and Likatonia. |

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. |
Proposed:
| O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen und freudenvollere. Freude! Freude! Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein; Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund! Freude trinken alle Wesen An den Brüsten der Natur; Alle Guten, alle Bösen Folgen ihrer Rosenspur. Küsse gab sie uns und Reben, Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod; Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, Und der Cherub steht vor Gott. Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan, Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn, Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen. Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen. Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen? Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt? Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt! Über Sternen muß er wohnen. Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen. Seid umschlungen, Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Freude von die Likatonian! |

| Message | Whilst we are not convinced by some of the lyrics, particularly the bit about the Cheruc standing before God, we will support, as a move to remove the late great Rhonda. |

| Message | Danke, Whether you believe in god or not (CoughAMDWPcough) you have to just take a look at the beauty behind these lyrics, and this song. It preaches everything that every party supports, love for mankind. Even you LFF, you have to admit, that war is bad, and that love for one another is better. |

| Message | War is inevitable. When the time for Likatonia to expand beyond the current borders of the rump state, we envisage liberation through steel, freedom through blood and liberty through death. OOC: The original culture of Likatonia was 'Scandanavian' in feel, and although the Germanification is possibly not altogether incompatible ... at a pinch ... we can't really support a German Anthem. |
| Date | 06:52:38, December 03, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Likatonia, land of Joy |
| Message | OOC: The Likatonian history is a bizarre bastardisation - the natives of this corner of the world are semi-darkskinned, based on Babylon. There is basically no native PURE stock left. Most of what came after has been a Viking-like immigration that has been crossbreeding the native stock for tens of centuries. There are now three basic populations - the viking/natives, oriental/natives (akin to the Lodamese) and the Merian natives. The climate has been set as something like the Russian steppes or east Europe... a lot of rain, fog.. a fairly dreary place. Thus - the names of the towns tend to be Viking-y names crossed with Russian-y elements. The current slight swing towards Germany has basically been a slight shift in the focus - similar to (for example) West Germany gaining a slight edge over East. Still - while the German isn't too much of a stretch, it's more about political power than necessarily being representative of the general population. IC: We are happy to support this as an alternative to the current anthem. OOC: NKP - the double posts are most likely occuring because you are refreshing the page after you've typed something, probably checking to see if anyone replied, etc. |
