Current:
| "Beneath the Likatonian Skies" In the heart of every Likatonian soul, Lies the spirit of freedom, brave and bold. From the Luthori shores to Likatonia's land, We carved our destiny with our own hands. Beneath the Likatonian skies, so vast and wide, Together we stand, with pride side by side. From East Bolton's gold to the fields of green, In every heart, the Likatonian dream is seen. Through the trials of revolution's fiery night, We sought our liberty, our sacred right. In unity, our voices rose as one, Under the banner of freedom, we were never undone. From the Native Likatonian's ancient song, To the settlers' hopes, enduring and strong. In every corner of this land we roam, Likatonia, forever our home. In the east, where the wild frontiers call, To the western lands, where the mighty rivers fall. Our nation's story, a tapestry so grand, Woven by every woman, child, and man. Arise, Likatonians, in unity and might, For our land, for our freedom, for our right. Under the Likatonian skies, we pledge our love so true, To our beloved land, red, white, and blue. |
Proposed:
| For the freedom, For the Peace! For Socialism and Comradeship! Viva La Revolution! |

| Message | Mr speaker, We, The National Communist Party are beginning to wonder whether we should even have a democracy? I mean we have put forward 3 bills in 2 days and not one of them have been voted on. With a bill as important as this, we should be looking to voting... this is not only a fundamental change to our current legislation but a huge change to a part of our constitution. I ask all parties to vote in favour of this, of course. |
