Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: None
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:
| (To the tune of White Cockade/Flowers of Edinburgh/The Red Flag) 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. [Refrain]: 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. [Refrain] All of ours have chance to say "It's not your decision anyway," For our free people will choose their fate For democracy we'll celebrate! [Refrain] |
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change The official national sport.
Old value:: none
Current: Sibaq Al-Hajn (Camel Racing)
Proposed: Water Polo

| Message | I'm embarrased now, because I have no idea what to suggest for the above. Please help! |

| Message | For the sport, I think that many would enjoy Water Polo. It is somtimes violent, but always entertaining and unique. For the capital, I would like to suggest the possibility of "Palash" or "Al-Baran", or pretty much any fictional name which can flow with "Kafuristan". National anthem is, however, very difficult. |

| Message | I don't know that tune, but the words are good. I would say Water Polo is nice...or even dodgeball :P |

| Message | Dodgeball... whoah, never thought of that. I support Dodgeball & Water Polo. |

| Message | Woter Polo, not good...and I don't like the lyrics...I got my own. Read the Smaller Government Act. |

| Message | I honestly don't see the creativity in the Economic Party's lyrics. |
| Date | 20:25:36, October 02, 2005 CET | From | Sect of the Green Moon | To | Debating the Culture of the Nation Bill |
| Message | Creativity? We need no creativity...though if all the other parties don't like my lyrics, I will vote for those lyrics if you want me to, except I don't want water polo. But I guess you can't change THIS bill as it is being voted upon. Though I might suport the following sports: Swimming Tennis Chess Kafuristani Hoop Throwing Nothing else I would support. |
