| Message | This bill is in tribute to the Royal Conservatives, the writer of this anthem. 87 more seats are needed to pass this, and we hope that this will be supported for the sake of sporting events and other non-nationalistic uses for an anthem. We hope that the greens will continue to support this. http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=13984 |

| Message | We now need 51 more seats, which we assume the Greens shall support due to prior votes in favor. Thus we need 11 seats and any party can fulfill it. Lodamun is 100 years old, it is about time it had what every other nation has. |

| Message | We only ever voted for it as part of a deal with the Conservative Party, now defunct. That party being gone, our policy has changed. We much prefer the variety of pithy sayings, and will only vote yes for anthems (symbols of worshipping the false idols called countries) in exchange for votes on matters of concern to us. Unless the anthem was a hymn to Terra, that is. |
