Bill: Changes in the Country
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Party of Malivia
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: January 3577
Description[?]:
| Some points of our culture are heavily influenced by the old religious monarchy. Since we are now a free secular republic, some things need to be changed. This bill needs 2/3 of the votes to pass. NOTE: If this bill passes, we are supressing the following bills/laws/amendments: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=301315 http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=301316 It's a very monarchist constitution, and it's far from our current situation. A new ''Constitution'' is going to be made, with your help, of course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE II: The city names will be changed from: *Storm-Ridden Fortress to Colingrad *Kakaktuar's Grave to Kubu *Tower of Bhulkandra to Hitam Sungai *Temple of Dendhârash to Komun Malivia *Dead City of Idhaghra to Kuasa Rakyat *Dead Springs of Washebar to Berharap *Sultans' Agony to Modal Komunis ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE III: The name of nation will be changed from: *Free People's Republic of Malivia to Popular Republic of Malivia The current name is referred to the end of slavery in Malivia, and the proposed name is a shorter and more simple name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE IV: About the proposals: *THE NATIONAL ANIMAL AND THE NATIONAL SPORTS: We intend to prohibit the sadic games with tigers and any other animals. They're a legacy of the old inhuman monarchy and its fundamentalist traditions. We shall not kill animals for fun anymore. *THE NAME OF THE REGIONS: ''Sultanate'' is deeply related with the old monarchy. No doubts about that. ''State'' is deeply related with our current free and secular republic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Arise in Blood, Malivia, the Sacrifice to Durrakh-Râajh! For long enough your head has hanged in Softness! No longer shall you bear the evil of a peaceful past; No longer shall you bear the love of those who weaken you; No longer shall your barren wastes and your green hells suffer under the feet of those who do not value doom; For now, a dark night has come and a bloodmoon is arising! Now the vast void of Durrakh-Râajh is corrupting your ragged cliffs and deep abysses! Now the Lord of Wrath has consumed the hearts and entrails of his fathers, and goodness is revoked once more! Now is the time, Malivian martyrs, to take the whip and rifle, and bow your heads in awe! For now our future will be conquered, now our banner shall be washed in blood, the time has come to show the world just what Malivia has become - an empty void of broken lives, a hopeless stare into oblivion, a bloodied sacrifice to Durrakh-Râajh, our God! Oh our Slave Malivia, oh our God of Wrath! Together you will bathe in blood and grind all else into no more than mud!
Current:
| Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Thy name rouses the hearts of Bhulkandra, Dendhadrash and Idhaghra, of the Washebar and Walkaunar and Hitam. It echoes in the winds of the Malivy Islands, mingles in the music of Auroria and Constantium and is chanted by the waves of the Malivian Sea. They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The saving of all people waits in thy hand, thou dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee. Day and night thy voice goes out from province to province, Calling the Gerajans, Daenists, Akalis and Wains round thy throne and the Hosians, Ahmadis and Rasezanians. The northern mainland and the southern Islands join hands in their prayer to thee, and the garland of love is woven. Thou bringest the hearts of all people into the harmony of one life, thou dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee. |

| Message | ''We don't understand why The Conservatives disagree with ALL the proposals. Are they for the sacrifice of poor animals? I don't think so. And we should not become enemies. At least for the next 4, maybe 8 years. During this period, we count on the Conservatives and the Freedom Party to sign a new and republican constitution.'' Ricardo Andrade, Head of Government. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
