Old value:: Land of Hope & Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, Who are born of thee? Wider still and wider, Shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet! God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet!
Current:
| Skjöld: Ég tilheyri þér, Í hjarta eru þínir. Hvar Tælmensku dætur blómstra, Hvar Tælmensku synir syngja, Leyfðu okkur að dansa hamingjusamlega, Í okkar Tælmörk! Og þetta er að fallega lands, Við Tælmensku land, heimili mitt, Við Tælmensku land, heimili mitt. Ekki gráta kæru móður Tælmörk, Hækka höfuðið stoltur hár, Tælmörk er frjáls Frjáls til að lifa! Land fjöll, land með straum. Land fields, land hinna frjálsu. Fjallið, vale – fara hvert sem hann vildi, Sorg og sorg öll sömu – Undir sjó af blóði, Á meðan yfir sjó á flame. Þú ert uppi á minningar frábær gamla daga, Þegar heiður að því þegar nafn þitt flaug yfir Terra, Ég veit að þú ert og mun eftir það sem þú varst. Luthorian: I belong to you In my heart is yours. Where Telamonic daughters bloom, Where Telamonic sons sing, let us dance happily, In our Telamon! And this is to a beautiful country, By Telamon land, my home, By Telamon land, my home. Don't cry dear mother Telamon, Raise your head proud high, Telamon is free Free to live! Country mountains, country with a stream. Land fields, land of the free. The mountain, vale – go wherever he wanted, Sorrow and sorrow all the same – Under a sea of blood, Meanwhile over sea on flame. You are reminiscing about the great old days, Already honored when your name flew over Terra, I know you are and will remember what you were. |
Proposed:
| An unbreakable union of free republics, Great Tela' joined together forever. Long live the creation of the will of the peoples, The united, the mighty Telamon Res Publica! CHORUS: Be glorified, our fatherland, united and free! The sure bulwark of the friendship of the peoples! Flag of the Tela, Flag of the people, Let it lead from victory to victory! Through storms the sun of freedom has shined upon us, And the great Simon has lighted the way Ramsay has taught us faithfulness to the people, To labour, and inspired us to great feats! CHORUS: Be glorified, our fatherland, united and free! The sure bulwark of the happiness of the peoples! Flag of the Tela, Flag of the people, Let it lead from victory to victory! We brought our army to the battles. We shall brave the despicable invaders from the street! In battles we shall decide the fate of generations, We shall lead to the glory of the Motherland! CHORUS: Be glorified, our fatherland, united and free! The sure bulwark of the glory of the peoples! Flag of the Tela, Flag of the people, Let it lead from victory to victory! |

| Message | The new national anthem glorifies the people and Republic of Telamon moreso than than the previous one, which reflected non-secular values, while we support Telamon's two largest religions, the Catholic Church and Holy Church of Shuzzag Khan they should not be imposed onto people. |

| Message | The great Simon? President John Simon is a commie queer. The House of Stafford is currently engaged in illegal paramilitary activites, aimed at assassinating President Simon. How about, "Telamon! Telamon! The worst nation in the world. Telamon! Telamon! You all cry like little girls. We're ruled by stupid communists who don't know left from right... and the President is a homosexual... I've also heard he likes to have sex with farm animals. Suck my balls, Oh Telamon, for you are so very gay. May King Eadric use eugenics to kill all people with an IQ under 100 and anyone who isn't a white anglo-saxon protestant! The communists are the ones who are the ball-lickers. Let it ring forth from this day that everyone in this nation is a whiny little bitch and needs a strong monarch to rule with an iron fist. " After that, the chorus can be, "House of Stafford, King Eadric the Conqueror, you're the best... around! Nothing's gonna ever keep ya you down! You're the best, around! Nothing's gonna ever keep ya down!" |

| Message | OOC: Iambic Septameter if I am correct, and and ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQ rhyme scheme. Also John Simon is a prominent asexual, not homosexual, and we are ruled by a Communist-Fascist alliance, difference. Also I only used simon because I needed something to replace "Lenin" with. |

| Message | OOC: hhahaha "lambic septameter" On the Simon note, I was just trying to be as inflammatory as possible. I personally like the eugenics bit... but as you note, whiny little bitch and iron fist kind of rhyme. |
| Date | 04:15:23, March 16, 2012 CET | From | Red Police Party | To | Debating the National Reform |
| Message | OOC: Bitch and fist ryhme, at least one ryhme in it. Although that is the only one I see. |

| Message | OOC: Yeah, kinda ryhme |
| Date | 04:18:14, March 16, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Action Party | To | Debating the National Reform |
| Message | OOC: I'd stamp and yell about this being an 'anti-education bill,' as children have to listen to the national anthem everyday at school, and this one is much longer than the current, and will thus take up more of the school day, but I'm still laughing. |
| Date | 04:24:01, March 16, 2012 CET | From | House Stafford | To | Debating the National Reform |
| Message | OOC: world and girls |
| Date | 14:29:12, March 16, 2012 CET | From | Catholic Political Union | To | Debating the National Reform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We prefer the current national anthem because it gives honour and recognition to God and does not seem to glorify war in the way the proposed anthem does. |

| Message | Not everyone believes the existence of God. |
