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:
| United forever in friendship and labour, We marched onward to victory. Banded together in revolution, We freed Beluzia from her false citizens. We crushed inequality, Threshold of the Capitalists. We share our wealth and resources, The Assembly Providing for all. United forever in friendship and labour, We marched onward to victory. Looking towards the new dawn, remembering tyranny of old but rejecting the lust of old. Finally we are Free! We celebrate the blood of our forefathers, Those true nobles who signed the declaration, risking their lives so their grandchildren may be free. |

| Message | We believe that after the refusal of the stantons to allow peace, we are in appropriate position to demand this. Long live Beluzia! -Edward Thorne OCC:If anybody in the left believes i missed something, please feel free to suggest another bill containing them :) |

| Message | This bill suggests we follow the Executive Reform bill proposed by the Beluz Democratic Karavist Party. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=441665 |
| Date | 17:23:43, July 11, 2015 CET | From |  Beluz Democratic Karavist Party | To | Debating the Socialization |
| Message | The adjective is Beluz, the noun is Beluzian, therefore we cannot support the title "Chairman of the Beluzian People" - it should be "Chairman of the Beluz People." Also, this bill does not suggest we follow the executive reform bill proposed by the BDKP. The bill proposed by the BDKP says that we should have a President, not a "Protector of Socialist Democracy" as the head of government. A "Protector of Socialist Democracy" is more appropriate for the head of state. We wish that the FPB had waited for discussion before setting this bill to vote. We do, however, commend them for their efforts in pushing for reform. -- Connor Ellery, Secretary-General of the BDKP |

| Message | We believe that this shows that this will give more power to the people. |
| Date | 21:50:53, July 11, 2015 CET | From | Knights of the People | To | Debating the Socialization |
| Message | No, for 3 reasons : A. This bill doesn't show explicit name change B. "Chairman of the BELUZIAN People" is just horrible C. Social Republic should not be the name for a subnational entity |
| Date | 20:28:18, July 12, 2015 CET | From | Front of the People of Beluzia | To | Debating the Socialization |
| Message | I can't support this anymore due to the relized mistakes. (OOC It did go with the exectutive reform in fliping the roles, but not using the proposed names, I agreed with making our country unique, but I thought that the proposals were turning us from a bland republic to a bland socialist republic.) |

| 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. |
