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:
| Arise ye workers from your slumbers Arise ye prisoners of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant. Away with all your superstitions Servile masses arise, arise We'll change henceforth the old tradition And spurn the dust to win the prize. So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. No more deluded by reaction On tyrants only we'll make war The soldiers too will take strike action They'll break ranks and fight no more And if those cannibals keep trying To sacrifice us to their pride They soon shall hear the bullets flying We'll shoot the generals on our own side. No saviour from on high delivers No faith have we in prince or peer Our own right hand the chains must shiver Chains of hatred, greed and fear E'er the thieves will out with their booty And give to all a happier lot. Each at the forge must do their duty And we'll strike while the iron is hot. |

| Message | Kafuristan is already great. |
| Date | 18:09:34, July 09, 2009 CET | From | Communist Party of Kafuristan | To | Debating the Make Kafuristan Great! |
| Message | Then tell me why people are out on the streets, without food or the basic necessities of life, why the world still jokes about dirty Kafuris? |
| Date | 18:19:20, July 09, 2009 CET | From | Liberal Urban Party | To | Debating the Make Kafuristan Great! |
| Message | Such claims are simply and plainly ridiculous. The world is not joking about our glorios citizens, you are apparently by calling the immensity of the Kafuri soul as dirty. Shame on you for defining the Divine Aristocrat Order! |
| Date | 18:29:07, July 09, 2009 CET | From | Communist Party of Kafuristan | To | Debating the Make Kafuristan Great! |
| Message | No, shame on you for putting millions out on the streets, whilst allowing a wealthy few to plunder and take everything they have. The LUP has created a barbaric society of shallow individualism, extreme oppression, and suffering for all but a favoured few. Kafuristan is nothing anymore, it is in a shameful state, shame that goes directly to the regime. |
| Date | 00:35:02, July 10, 2009 CET | From |  Talmorian Monarchist Coalition | To | Debating the Make Kafuristan Great! |
| Message | The LUP is not to blame. If the rich would take over where the government isn't then conditions would be better. It's not the LUP's fault if the rich are greedy and wish not to share their wealth. |
| Date | 03:00:08, July 10, 2009 CET | From | Communist Party of Kafuristan | To | Debating the Make Kafuristan Great! |
| Message | No, the LUP did not make the rich greedy, but they failed to step in where the rich did not, and they failed to punish them for being greedy. Ultimately, it is government's responsibility to take care of its people, not the wealthy people's responsiblility. If the rich won't share, it is government's job to make them share. We've had enough of standing around as the rich plunder our nation, we promise to extort their wealth, and give it to the people who make this nation great, the workers and peasants! |
| Date | 21:15:59, July 15, 2009 CET | From | Communist Party of Kafuristan | To | Debating the Make Kafuristan Great! |
| Message | Also, to all mods, please change the name of the nation to the People's Republic of Kafuristan. |
