| National Anthem of Dankuk - 'Tierra Adorada' Kyo: 一 아침의 땅이여, 해는 아이에게 돌아간다네, 불타는 열정은, 우리의 영혼을 숭배하지 않는다네. 사랑하고 거룩한 땅이여, 귀족 영웅의 요람은, 정복자를 찾지 못하네 그대의 바다는 밟혔네. 하늘과 구름을 넘지 않으면, 그대의 언덕과 바다 위에 아른거리네. 빛을 보면, 영광스런 자유를 느끼네. 아버지의 깃발은 우리 모두의 마음을 사랑하네 해와 별이 내려오네. 오, 그대가 평원에 비치지 않는다면, 폭군에게는 빛나지 않을 것이네! 사랑과 빛과 아름다움의 땅이여, 포옹은 거짓말이네. 하지만 예술계에서 실패해도 영광이네. 우리를 위해 아들은 희생하리라. 一 Draniano: Tierra adorada Hija del sol de Oriente, Su fuego ardiente En ti latiendo está. ¡Tierra de amores! Del heroísmo cuna, Los invasores No te hollarán jamás. En tu azul cielo, en tus auras, En tus montes y en tu mar Esplende y late el poema De tu amada libertad. Tu pabellón, que en las lides La victoria iluminó, No verá nunca apagados Sus estrellas ni su sol. Tierra de dichas, del sol y amores, En tu regazo dulce es vivir. Es una gloria para tus hijos, Cuando te ofenden, por ti morir. (Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT1VHI5m3_Q) Royal Anthem of Dankuk - 'Live Ten Thousand Years' 君臣義重 父子恩硬 榮史之子 千年萬歲 (Tune: https://youtu.be/QPdhmc6Op-A?t=30 ending at the 0:55 mark) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, we will not support adjusting the hymn of our country for crude ideological reasons. I wonder what a literary mind on the left like Cadfael Maddocks would think of such a primitive attempt to subordinate works of poetry to the will of the mighty. Craig Warwick MP Member for Elbian Minister of Education and Culture |

| Message | Mr Speaker This bill is non-sense and needless.It is denying Dranish culture.Minister Warwick please withdraw those statement about my dear father.Honourable Benandez is the architect of this bill, not my father. Einion Celyn Maddocks MP from Elbian Interim Deputy Chairman of Greens |
| Date | 20:09:58, February 01, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the National Animal Act |
| Message | OOC: The statement wasn't meant to denounce Maddocks, actually, it sought to imply that he would probably not be happy with it. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, as a general rule I dislike making alterations to great poetical works for the sake of political correctness, but in this instance, it is worth bearing in mind that the animal originally referred to in the poem was neither a hawk nor a dove, but a lion! Cadfael Maddocks MP (Former Prime Minister) OOC: see Captain Socialist comment at http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5135&p=50994&hilit=Of+the+great+people%2C+the+sons+of+Saint+Sharika#p51008 |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, ought not our national animal and our national anthem promote peace rather than warfare? Isn't the dove a better choice than the hawk? Antonio Benandez MP (Leader of the Opposition) |
| Date | 23:07:22, February 01, 2013 CET | From | Plaid Genedlaethol Rhyddfrydol | To | Debating the National Animal Act |

| Message | Mr Speaker Honourable Benandez i am sorry but this bill is pathetic.If you think changing the anthem and national animal will cease the racial tension and violence than Honourable Benandez you are wrong.
