Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: My name is Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question: "Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?" "No!" says the man in Washington. "It belongs to the poor." "No!" says the man in the Vatican. "It belongs to God." "No!" says the man in Moscow. "It belongs to everyone." I rejected all of these answers. I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Rapture. A city where the artist need not fear the censor. Where the scientist need not be bound by laws of petty morality. Where the great need not be hampered by the small. And by the sweat of YOUR brow, Rapture can become your city as well.
Current:
| It has been a long time oh my weapon! I long for you in my struggle! Speak and say I am awake, Oh war it has been a long time. It has been a long time for the soldiers, Advancing with thunderous roar, Swearing never to return, Except with epoch-making victory. Rise and close ranks, With lives ready for sacrifice. O! the horror that the enemy shall suffer, From you in the fire of the battlefield. O! glory our glory, You who was built by us, By toil and pain, Never to go to waste. Who shall protect Free Kafuristan? We shall protect her with our weapons. Land of the Revolution, who will sacrifice for her sake? We will, with our souls. The people advance like the light, The people stand like mountains and seas, Volcanoes of anger, volcanoes erupting, Earthquakes digging the enemy into their graves. |
Proposed:
| Kafuristan, our new free land It shines just like a martyr's stand, And as we reach our voted dreams We'll come with aid for all who scream. We'll hold our fertile fields with praise Respect the determined men who stay, As foreign powers waste and rot To be defeated we shall not! Through troubled times and aches of sort We'll gather strength from our great courts, The time for justice comes for all Fear not if it's your surname called. All of ours have chance to say "It's not your decision anyway," As our free people will choose their fate For democracy we'll celebrate! |

| Message | What in Tordary is up with the sudden unilateral opposition by MA and KRA? Why would Kafuristani Resistance support a religion-run state? It does not make much sense. |
