Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Pontesians always loyally declaim About the way we rule the waves. Gran Tadraki's song is just the same When singing of our soldier-braves. All the world has heard it-- Wonders why we sing, And Gaduridos learned the reason why-- We're not forgetting it, We're not letting it Fade away and gradually die, Fade away and gradually die. So when we say that Pontesi is master Remember who has made her so It's the soldiers of the Commonwealth, my lads Who've fought, my lads, who've conquered, my lads In the fight for the Company's glory lads When we've had to show them what we mean: And when we say we've always won And when they ask us how it's done We'll proudly point to every one Of Pontesi's soldiers of the Commonwealth.
Current:
Oh Fatherland, Fatherland, show us a sign, To lead us from hatred and substance malign; I wake from my slumber and gaze at the day, Yet look to you always to show me the way; Through sword, bow and arrows, the perils I've slayed, Would make e'er a weaker man sorely afraid; But with such a guidance I'll never stray, My Fatherland is my way. Oh Motherland, Motherland, tell us again, Of those you repulsed as they challenged your reign; The grass recalls battles, our stalwart prowess, The hawks soaring over note how we progress; Building our futures with esprit de coeur, We're once, twice, thrice, evermore striken with awe; But with my own glorious part to play, My Motherland is my way. Oh Pontesi, Pontesi, let us once more, Praise your grand name as our fathers before; As one valiant nation to challenge the sins, That fell naive countries whose morals wore thin; I will fight for home, my morale will not break, With forces of wickedness slain in my wake, It's with such a realm my loyalty stays My Pontesi is my way. |
Proposed:
Oh Pontesi, oh nation of heroes! The Sun shall rise for you again. Long subjugated, long in disunity, But, from today, breaking tyranny's hold. Hailing our King/Queen as leader, sovereign. And smiting our enemies according to God's will. Through faith, loyalty and diligence You reconquer your position, your unity, And to take this new step The angels of our ancestors call us. |
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change Women in the military.
Old value:: Women have no place in the military.
Current: Women can only serve in non-battle positions.
Proposed: Women serve alongside men.
