Bill: Cildanian Restoration
Details
Submitted by[?]: Maritime Nationalists
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2926
Description[?]:
| While not the Cildania that we would one day like to see, we cannot allow the false-fascist madness to further wreak our once Great Nation. We Propose a full Restoration of the Cildanian Republic and the Cildanian Constitutional government, the true Anthem of Hail Motherland and the neutrality first guarantee of the vacant executive office. Cildania must first be a working nation before it can reformed into the Maritime State. Without strong foundations nothing can be built and at the moment we only have wet sand to work with. We call upon all the Parties of Cildania to support this Restoration following the next election. The Senate was in Cildania City, the Government House in Velieres is the DCR Parliament. The Cantons each have their own Prime Minister so the use of the traditional title of Chancellor avoids confusion and superfluous prefixes. Amendments in order to gain majority support are of course welcome. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side Let Freedom ring. My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills, My heart with rapture thrills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet Freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of Liberty, To thee we sing, Long may our land be bright With Freedom's holy light, Protect us by thy might Great God, our King. Our glorious Land to-day, 'Neath Education's sway, Soars upward still. Its hills of learning fair, Whose bounties all may share, Behold them everywhere On vale and hill! Thy safeguard, Liberty, The school shall ever be, Our Nation's pride! No tyrant hand shall smite, While with encircling might All here are taught the Right With Truth allied. Beneath Heaven's gracious will The stars of progress still Our course do sway; In unity sublime To broader heights we climb, Triumphant over Time, God speeds our way! Grand birthright of our sires, Our altars and our fires Keep we still pure! Our starry flag unfurled, The hope of all the world, In peace and light impearled, God hold secure!
Current:
| Arise O Cildania Our national call Obey To serve our father's land With love, strength and faith The labour of our heroes past Shall be our propelling force All hail God almighty for He has given us Freedom, Justice and Peace |
Proposed:
| Hail Cildania, Arise end winters tyranny May you always strive for freedom, justice and truth. The Trinity Call Preserve the Heart of Soul Of Liberty Brethren with heart and hand, Let us strive to the sky! Bloom Cildania, Dedicated to Liberty Hail Cildania, jewel of the sea! Cildania the Home of Liberty! May you always strive for freedom, justice and truth. Cildania, Cildania, is the place of liberty Comrades the voices of the dead battalions, Of those who fell that Cildania might be born, Join in our song, for they still march in spirit with us, To guard Cildania, Jewel of the Sea! Hail Cildania, jewel of the sea! Cildania the Land of Liberty! Her everlasting Unity, Rights and Freedom, Brethren with heart and hand, Let us all strive for that! We're of their blood, and spirit of their spirit, Sprung from that soil for whose dear sake they bled, For Glorious Trinity, Freedom, Truth and Justice! We lead the fight for Cildania and for Liberty! Hail Cildania, jewel of the sea! Cildania is the Jewel of Liberty! Arise Cildania! the dawn approaches, Great Cildania, Mother and Comrade Bloom Cildanian, may you always know prosperity The streets are still, the final struggles ended; Flushed with the fight we proudly hail the dawn!

| Message | I agree with you. It won't hurt anyone to change the position names, a nice resistance from the too-powerful (too-powerful meaning they have more than 0 seats). |
| Date | 03:49:57, April 20, 2010 CET | From | fascist Party | To | Debating the Cildanian Restoration |
| Message | i agree full support |
| Date | 18:49:21, April 20, 2010 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cildanian Restoration |
| Message | I will support this bill on condition Article 2 is reconsidered. The title vacant office of the President is a little underwhelming for our country's leader, no matter if a figurehead or not. We should retain the title President or replace it with something more suitable for a nation of our stature. |
| Date | 04:49:59, April 21, 2010 CET | From | Maritime Nationalists | To | Debating the Cildanian Restoration |
| Message | When it was in the debate phase was the time to bring that up. As its too late to do anything now. If you read ahead there is no nations leader, see Article 4. The Chair is left empty. Only the executive office can declare war under the first constitution, there for it was decieded some four hundred years ago that in the interests of Cildanian Neutrality and Cildanian Democracy also the office would be left vacant, though either the manner presented in Article 4 or though the direct election of the Chancellor as per the consolidated law choice. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
