Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: 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!
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:
| Righteous leader bless our land Guide us with thy mighty hand Keep us free from evil powers Be our light through countless hours To our leaders great defender Grant true wisdom from above Justice, truth be ours forever Likatonia, land we love Likatonia, Likatonia, Likatonia land we love Teach us true respect for all Stir response to duty's call Strenghten us the weak to cherish Give us vision, least we perish Knowledge send us heavenly father Grant true wisdom from above Justice, truth be ours forever Likatonia, land we love Likatonia, Likatonia, Likatonia land we love |

| Date | 16:57:22, August 14, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | The Berosians applaud the theological deconstruction proposed by the LFFIR. Our nation deserves an anthem that promotes our nation, not a religious figure. |
| Date | 17:39:10, August 14, 2008 CET | From | Red Tory Party | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | Excellent. |
| Date | 19:59:46, August 14, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | Both the Berosian and Red Tory parties are ignoring that the newly proposed anthem is also religious? Hypocrites. |
| Date | 05:51:46, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | "This newly proposed anthem is an improvement, in that it doesn't devote every line to being religious or worshipping a religious figure, and, believe it or not, it actually mentions Likatonia." |
| Date | 05:52:26, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | The above comment was made by a Berosian backbencher |
| Date | 10:03:00, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Permissive Social Union | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | We thank those who have pledged support. Our national anthem proposal was intended to be a little ambiguous as far as a religious deity was concerned in the hope that is may garner support from all sides. |
| Date | 17:43:18, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | "The current anthem also mentions Likatonia - and not just the archaic boundaries - it explicitly references both Eastern AND Western Likatonia. Zhelezo is a visionary - this was obviously His prophecy of the Ascendant Union of Greater Liaktonia." --Avar Akkad Avara Immeressen. |
| Date | 18:10:21, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | "By mention, I mean promote. The new anthem actually somewhat promotes Likatonia, whereas the old anthem devotes itself to Immeressen, while making a small reference to Likatonia." Berosian Backbencher. |
| Date | 18:31:56, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Golden Path Programe: National Anthem |
| Message | "Likatonia IS Immeressen, and Immeressen IS Likatonia. As the philosophers have said: as Immeressen grows fat, so does Likatonia" --Avar Akkad Avara |
