Details
Submitted by[?]: 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō)

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.

Description[?]:
| As our national anthem was written for the Aretic state we feel that it is no longer suitable for use of modern Sekowo which is fundamentally different. Therefore we propose the following new anthem. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Along the shore the cloud waves break The twin suns sink beneath the lake The shadow lengthen In Carcosa Strange is the night where black stars rise And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa Songs that the Hyades shall sing Where flap the tatters of the King Must die unsung in Dim Carcosa Song of my soul, my voice is dead Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa
Current:
(Kunikata): 海ゆかば 水漬く屍 山ゆかば 草生す屍 帝の 辺にこそ死なめ 返り見はせじ (Sekowan): 海ゆかば 水漬ちゅる屍 山いかー 草生する屍 帝ぬ 辺んかいどぅ死なめい けーいんーじぇーさじ (Luthorian): If I go far away to the sea I shall leave my bones there If I go far away to the mountains I shall leave my bones there Without one regret I shall sacrifice for His Majesty And for my fatherland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfBebI2oFp4) |
Proposed:
| Formerly, at her call, our ancestors, Knew how to engage in mighty battles, With strength, courage, ardour, and full of joy, but at the price of blood. Builders of the present, join forces, Each day for the task of building stronger unity. Build the path to prosperity. CHORUS Children of Sekowo, arise! The resounding cry of freedom Is heard at the first light of dawn, Children of Sekowo, arise! When all around you blow a winds of anger and hate: People of Sekowo stand strong and calm, Trusting in the future, behold the future! CHORUS Great Sekowo, your snowcapped mountains, green forests, and blue waters Show the world your brightness; Your soil offers the richest fruits. Sekowo, from henceforth your children are united With one fraternal spirit sharing the hope of the future. |

| Message | "When all around you blow a winds of anger and hate:" What an embarassment! We must show the world that Sekowo is literate. As such, we are voting against the proposed anthem as written. |

| Message | OOC: I know, I was gonna put the corrected version up after it passed, I did'nt notice it until after I'd put it to vote. In my defence the original was grammatically screwed up as is and I had to replace parts for it actually make sense. Oh, and it's based off of the anthem of Benin. |
