Bill: Introduction of the Imperial Holonarchist Guard
Details
Submitted by[?]: House Villayn (AI)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2562
Description[?]:
| Holonarchism is an ideology formulated by Prime Minister Fredérick Varanzý, which develops his earlier thoughts on monarchy and establishes a coherent worldview looking at community as the basis of society. While the IHG is led by me, Adrien Pelloux, who is not an ideologist but a colonel and a soldier, we are dedicated at defending this constitution and this empire with our very lives. We have mobilised a 90.000 guardians, which should strengthen the regular imperial police force while the army is fighting for our liberty and our human rights in Luthori. This Guard has been formed as a response against veiled threats of rebellion which has come to our ears here in Alduria. Be sure, that if violence is instated, it will be met by violence back! Or, if you who intend to utilise this crisis for a general uprising feel inclined to hurt the mantle of the imperial family, I will break your ribs with a chainsaw, crush your knee-joints with a sledgehammer, shit on your face, and leave you to the vultures! Is that clear enough? ~ Adrien Pelloux |

| Message | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brWdlQfkha4 Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve A nation that stands alone Cold voices, faces pale Gathered unto their judgement day Such pride remains unbroken Such words remain unspoken Just mothers to stand in vain and cry Tears and medals in the rain Shall I recall when justice did prevail? No reason to be found why reason did fail The all clear resounding The way was clear to rebuild this land Shall I call on you to guide me well To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? On this day of our ascension Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for For our spirit and laws and ways Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war For heaven or hell we shall not wait Shall I think of honour as lies? Or lament it's aged slow demise? Shall I stand as a total stranger On this day in this stone chamber? The all clear resounding The way was clear to rebuild this land Shall I call on you to guide me well? To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? On this day of our ascension On this day we praise the fallen Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for For our spirit and laws and ways Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war For heaven or hell we shall not wait Shall I think of honour as lies Or lament it's aged slow demise? Shall I stand as a total stranger On this day in this stone chamber? |
