Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Likatonia our nation, Our mountains, seas and sands, Our honour and our values, Our hopes and hearts and hands. Likatonia our guardian, Our parent and our guide, Our refuge when in times of need, Which shelters us with pride. Likatonia our people, Courageous, strong and just, Likatonia our freedom, In whose laws we trust. Likatonia our history, Tradition handed on, Our culture and our forbears’ Since memory began. Likatonia our future, Our children’s and our own, Long may it continue, Our nation and our home.
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:
| Hail to Archimandrite Zhelezo Immeressen! Hero of the Commonwealth! Saviour of the poor and oppressed! Protector of both the Eastern and Western Likatonias! Beloved of all True Likatonians, may He live forever! May He shelter us in his benevolence for ever! Truly, He is as wise as He is beautiful. Fall on your face! Prostrate yourselves before his perfect form! When He is near, the sun is shining! When he is far, the stars and moon mourn! Hail Archimandrite Zhelezo Immeressen! Benevolent Lord of all Likatonia! |
