Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Long live Likatonia, raise your head, Sons of the Likaton people,who are rising again. Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow, over the blue of the sea the path of the sun. Likatonia triumphs! The anvils and wheels sing to the rhythm of the hymn of the faith. Together with them let us stand and sing The powerful life of labour and peace. Long live Likatonia, raise your forehead, sons of the Likaton people, who are arising again. Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow, over the blue of the sea the path of the sun.
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:
| And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Likatonia's fields? And was the holy Lamb of God On Likatonia's pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In Likatonia's pleasant land. |

| Message | We cannot support references to fiction. What is this 'Jeruslalom' to which you refer? OOC: Jerusalem is not a place on Terra, nor in Likatonia, and it seems inappropriate to reference it in our anthem... |
