Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: 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 and rejecting the lust of ages to come. 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.
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:
| Invincible Emperor of all Terra. Our faithful land, our glorious land, long live our Empire!!!! The ancestors’ traditions and exploits will strengthen us. Our leaders in our nation encourage us to fight for our land. When the day of fighting is over, when the war is won and past. All the Terra will join our colours in a Hosian world under our flag. Luthor, Luthori above all. God is with us. Invincible Emperor of all Terra. Our faithful land, our glorious land, long live our Empire!!!! And our Emperor and our tradition will be conquering all that exists. All Luthori raise up your voice and sing with heart and soul. Glory to our Great Emperor, and glory to his realm. Long live the Holy Luthori Empire. God wills that it shall prevail! God wills that it shall prevail! Long live our Empire!!!! |

Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
