Bill: Neo-Kafuristan Bill IMPORTANT; Proposes new flag/names etc.
Details
Submitted by[?]: Might of Allah
Status[?]: passed
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.
Voting deadline: July 2628
Description[?]:
| After recent important events Kafuristan needs to consider its position in the global arena and reinvent itself as a new nation, free from the shackles of the old. This bill shall propose a new direction for Kafuristan, acknowledging what has been but looking down the road of life to the future. OOC: I will be leaving this open to debate for a while so we can agree on the details. I would love to see Kafuristan have a "fresh" start thus I am proposing another awesome idea. I'm unsure at this stage but I may go with mixing Allah with "freshness" to create a "fresh" new Might of Allah. I'd also like to rename our nation to "The Fresh Republic of Kafuristan". |
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:
| Now this is the story all about how This country got flipped, turned upside down And Id like to take a minute just sit right there To sing a song about how we came to rule this land from our lofty lair In Terra we were born and raised In the desert is where we spent most of our days Relaxing and capturing that precious flag We also liked to make a few good gags When a couple of guys said we were up in no good Started making trouble in our neighbourhood We got in one little fight and the people were stoked Our government was proven to be a big joke! We laughed long and hard and had a good time Then we all drank some brand new Kafuri wine The decision was unanimous and the people agreed; It was time that our country was decreed. First class, yo this is bad, Signing international agreements with important people! Is this what being a real country is like? Hmm this might be alright! We called to the community to come and listen They all turned in quiet anticipation Announcing our intention to perhaps rule properly The crowds went wild and had a great big party! Rocking up to the parliament at eight or nine All the members downed some wine Returning to their seats the time had begun Kafuristan would soon be number one! |
