Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: State Anthem: HYMN TO THE ATHLORCAEA (2695, Erwin Langdon, Bt) O snowy mount of ancient fame May we, in time, be worthy of thy name! O thou, noble peak, spire white O lodestone, O symbol of sacred might! Thy sons and daughters before thee stand Our souls at ready, our hearts 'neath hand. Royal Anthem: La Marcha Granadera (Carmen Granadorum)
Current:
| O'er azure skies, And emerald plains, Where freedom and justice prevail! With courage and strength, We'll fight to the end, For liberty in our land! From underneath the sky, From sea to sea, To city to city, Our banner raises high, For O'er the dark clouds, Nothing can remove the light on which Our nation stands! For child to child, And parent to parent, We fight to withstand, Those clouds O'er beyond, So we may have peace in our land! |
Proposed:
| I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. And there's another country, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not count her armies, we may not see her King; Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. |
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change The National Animal.
Old value:: Falcon
Current: Wolverine
Proposed: Lion
Article 3
Proposal[?] to change The national motto.
Old value:: State: Strength, Industry, Faith Royal: Vi veri universum vivus vici
Current:
| Ancient Selucian: Libertas Perfundet Omnia Luce Luthorian: Freedom Will Flood All Things With Light |
Proposed: Honi soit qui mal y pense

| Message | OOC: We need to try to reach cross-party unity on this! I've spent a while looking through old legislation and can't find the original monarchical anthem...I think it was "God Save the King" but can't find that. I know that the animal became the lion, but the motto and anthem, I'm not sure... |

| Message | OOC: The old anthem was called "Hutori! Our land is ours to share" or something. It was terrible. I would recommend keeping the current state anthem and choosing a new royal anthem-- pick a slow tune like "Jerusalem" or "Austria." The motto was "god save the king," which you have to agree is boring. |

| Message | OOC: "Honi soit qui mal y pense" means "shame on him who thinks [this] a shame." Don't use a translation; I think most people know enough French to understand the motto. |

| Message | OOC: The translation is arguable. Some translate it as you have, others translate it as "shame on him who thinks evil of it" and others translate it as I have done. However, I will remove the translation. |
