Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Stand up, all victims of oppression For the tyrants fear your might Don't cling so hard to your possessions For you have nothing, if you have no rights Let racist ignorance be ended For respect makes the empires fall Freedom is merely privilege extended Unless enjoyed by one and all Chorus: So come brothers and sisters For the struggle carries on The Internationale Unites the world in song So comrades come rally For this is the time and place The international ideal Unites the human race Let no one build walls to divide us Walls of hatred nor walls of stone Come greet the dawn and stand beside us We'll live together or we'll die alone In our world poisoned by exploitation Those who have taken, now they must give And end the vanity of nations We've but one Earth on which to live And so begins the final drama In the streets and in the fields We stand unbowed before their armour We defy their guns and shields When we fight, provoked by their aggression Let us be inspired by like and love For though they offer us concessions Change will not come from above

| 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT1HEXNI9c4> And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Luthori's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On Luthori's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Yishelem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Yishelem In Luthori's green and pleasant land. |
Proposed:
| Oalapo the golden, with milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation, sink heart and voice oppressed. I know, ah, I know not, what joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare. O one, O only mansion! O paradise of joy! Where tears ever banished, and smiles have no alloy; The cross is all thy splendour, the Crucified they praise, His laud and benediction thy ransomed people raise. For thee, O dear, dear country, mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding, thy happy name, they weep: The mention of thy glory is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, and love, and life, and rest. Oalapo the glorious! Glory of the elect! O dear and future vision that eager hearts expect! Even now by faith I see thee, even here thy walls discern; To thee my thoughts are kindled, and strive, and pant, and yearn. |

| Message | OOC: His Majesty is getting very old. Maybe the gender could be adjusted to account for Mary's ascension to the throne. One other issue is that, if this were to pas, it would result in the head of state becoming "By the Grace of God, the Holy Luthori Emperor of All Terra Andrew Bandis". Mister Bandis is clearly not an Emperor. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
