Details
Submitted by[?]: Medrisite-Associated Revisionist Council
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: April 3238
Description[?]:
"No longer will we abide the tyranny of the foreign invader! The radical Crusade that brought about the fall of the Hegemony wil itself collapse under the great might of a joined Pontesi people." M.A.R.C. Chairman Benedict Klein ACT I: "The restoration of the ancient and revered Pontesi Anthem, spanning years before the establishment of the Hegemony and deeply rooted in history." ACT II: "How dare the foreign fanatics change our capitol from glorious Lerna? Government activity in Oxminister, which the invaders now call Dawnstar, will immediately cease and all government offices shall move back to Lerna." ACT III: "Citizenship is granted to all, regardless of race and religion. The Hegemony has always promoted a tolerant people." ACT IV: "The flag of the Pontesi state has flew unchanged for centuries, only to be desecrated and replaced by a foreign people. No longer! The flag will once more fly strong." ACT V: "The reestablishment of the office of the Precinct-Commander." ACT VI: "Reestablishment of the ancient House of Mederegaar and recognition of R.M. Mederegaar as the rightful ruler of the Pontesi state. ACT VII: "Dissolution of the traitorous Magisterium and reformation of the Grand Synod." ACT VIII: "The foreign national masquerading as the Head of State can no longer be trusted to command the Hegemony's former precincts. The precincts themselves will decide precinct matters." ACT IX: "The scarlet lynx has never represented the proud people of Pontesi. The red-tail hawk has always, and will always be the symbol of our people." ACT X: "The Pontesi government is secular and will not tolerate blatant disregard of the individual right to religion. The new motto represents the will of the House of Mederegaar to protect and enforce the Pontesi way of life." ACT XI: "There is no place for flash superstition in the modern world. "Magic tournaments" are a scorge on the progressive people of our nation, and the game of cricket will be reestablished as the national past-time." ACT XII: "We do not intrude in the personal lives of our citizens. Race and religion do not matter to a progressive government." ACT XIII: "The foreigners have renamed the precincts of the Hegemony "exarchates", and will be undone immediately." ACT XIV: "A replacement of previous values prior to the Seleucian invasion." |

Current:
Oh Fatherland, Fatherland, show us a sign, To lead us from hatred and substance malign; I wake from my slumber and gaze at the day, Yet look to you always to show me the way; Through sword, bow and arrows, the perils I've slayed, Would make e'er a weaker man sorely afraid; But with such a guidance I'll never stray, My Fatherland is my way. Oh Motherland, Motherland, tell us again, Of those you repulsed as they challenged your reign; The grass recalls battles, our stalwart prowess, The hawks soaring over note how we progress; Building our futures with esprit de coeur, We're once, twice, thrice, evermore striken with awe; But with my own glorious part to play, My Motherland is my way. Oh Pontesi, Pontesi, let us once more, Praise your grand name as our fathers before; As one valiant nation to challenge the sins, That fell naive countries whose morals wore thin; I will fight for home, my morale will not break, With forces of wickedness slain in my wake, It's with such a realm my loyalty stays My Pontesi is my way. |

Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
