Bill: Recognising the Great Football Team of 2510
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Workers' Party and CTUL List
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2514
Description[?]:
| Having come top of Pool B in the group stages, then devastating Trigunia 1-0 in the Quarters, flying through the semi's beating Mordusia 3-1, and thrashing Zardugal 3-2 in a Cup final thriller, the Likaton national team have WON the 2510 Terran World Cup! All 24 men of the squad are to be honoured by Emissary Adelfried Manion, with extra merit being awarded to head coach Alf Matthäus, captain Jürgen Moore, and Final hattrick-scorer, (and winner of the tournament's Golden Boot Award) Davin Kovics, who all receive the Honorary Cross of the Greater Likatonian Peoples. Only nine other people have been presented with the award in the medal's history. Kovics, who announced his retirement from international football just two days after having participated in his third world tournament, has also been announced as Emissary candidate for the PDA in the 2517 Election. He enjoys a particularly large fanbase, which extends out of Likatonia and even Seleya. Ref: http://www.takeforum.com/particracy/viewtopic.php?p=172322&mforum=particracy#172322 N.B. The "hose-pipe" reference in the new Anthem refers to the harmonious relationship between Likatonias two main national sports, which are often enjoyed in conjunction (with Wet T-Shirt competitions often being played at half-time in Football matches, and vice versa). |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: It's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids jingle belling And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer" It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of all With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings When friends come to call It's the hap- happiest season of all
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. |
