Bill: Re-Unification of Beluzia - Step 1
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluz Democratic Karavist Party
Status[?]: passed
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: August 3440
Description[?]:
The first step of re-unifying Beluzia. The independence of "The Enlightened Republic of Beluzia" (North Beluzia) is hereby revoked. The legislative body will return to 99 seats, to include the North Beluz states. ----- OOC: To simplify the system, I suggest: - abolishing the bloc so that laws can be more flexible, instead of forced to be federal - abolishing the republic, and letting the 2 North Beluz states (Negunia & Bailon) re-join the Beluz Union as counties - restoring the High Count as the sovereign representative of all of Beluzia - electing the High Count the way we now elect the North Beluz President Now, this is simply a return to the "High Count" system, except that the High Count will be elected in a special way, instead of directly. Each County will be independent, so its leader (whichever family gets the most seats) will be the de facto head of state. The High Count is only a symbol of unity, and he doesn't control the government. The High Count will simply be the Chairman of the federal council, and will play no other role. |
Proposals
Article 1
Withdraw from the Beluz Cooperation Agreement.
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Anthem of the Sovereign Union of Beluz Counties: United forever in friendship and labour, Our mighty shires will ever endure. The Land of Beluzia will live through the ages. The dream of a people their fortress secure. Long live Beluzia, our great motherland, Built by the people's mighty hand. Long live our people, united and free, Let the Sun bow to our flag, for all to see. We fought for our land, we scared the invaders, And refused to bring home any form of shame. Our glory will live in the memory of nations And all of Terra will honour her name. Long live Beluzia, our great motherland, Built by the people's mighty hand. Long live our people, united and free, Let the Sun bow to our flag, for all to see. ---------- Anthem of the Enlightened Republic of Beluzia: Risen from a fight, with hope for golden future, the blood that we have lost, a sign of our brave soul. All for one and one for all, We won't ever perish, the enemies are going to fall, We're the mighty North Beluzia! From the islands in the blue sea, to the mountains up in the sky, the patriotic spirit, will reign this piece of land All for one and one for all, We won't ever perish, the enemies are going to fall, We're the mighty North Beluzia!
Current:
Land of the Free by the people, We pledge to thy liberty! No tyrants here linger, despots must flee. This tranquil haven of democracy, the blood of our sires which hallows the sod, brought freedom from slavery and oppressionists. By the might of truth, no longer shall we be hewers of wood. Arise! Sons, daughters of the united and democratic ancestors, put on your armor, clear the land! Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee -Land of the Free by the people! Nature has blessed us with wealth untold. Our mountains and valleys where prairies roll; our fathers, mothers, valiant and bold drove back the invader- those of tyranny. |
Proposed:

We fought for our land, we scared the invaders, And refused to bring home any form of shame. Our glory will live in the memory of nations And all of Terra will honour her name. Long live Beluzia, our great motherland, Built by the people's mighty hand. Long live our people, united and free, Let the Sun bow to our flag, for all to see. |

Message | What do you think? Let's return to the old system where families control the legislature (as nobles) and parties control the civilian government. The High Count will only be Chairman of the legislature, but he wouldn't really have much power. |
