| "We emerge today from the ashes anew. We must unite and strengthen our great nation to serve as a beacon of the light of freedom. Liberty, Democracy, the basic rights of human beings to decide their own fate; these are the values which our great nation must uphold. We bring to you this Constitutional Amendment, designed to Strengthen our great nation against all obstacles, against all threats to our freedom, against fascism and fear. The Military Command will be restructured, directly under the control of the National Forum and the Head of State. We will strengthen our military with the talents of our great people. Our Education, Health Care, and National Infrastructure will be our top priorities; second only to preserving our personal freedoms. We must strengthen our economic base, and provide legislation to ensure our workers have the upper hand in the world market. We will work with other nations to strengthen civil rights across Terra. We will promote peace and dialog, though we will become strong, and prepare ourselves for any and all contests to our freedom and our power. We must ensure the future of our nation today, the future of our children. This is the mission on which we embark. We will always fight for peace and freedom, no matter how dark the sky may turn. Good Night, Good Luck, and may God bless our great Republic of Deltaria!" - Thomas Lorincz |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
