Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Mordus with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Terra's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy folk, Mordus, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me. Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Mordus, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Mordus, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy flag before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and Terra's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Mordus, abide with me.
Current:
| The Red Rose of Mordusia Verse 1: Rose of Mordusia, red and bold you bloom, Underneath the Southern Cross, where skies of azure loom. From desert wide to coastal tide, your golden branches sway, Through sun and storm, we stand as one, and light the world with day. Chorus: Rose of Mordusia, standing ever free, From the Outback to the sea, we'll guard our liberty. In heart and hand, we love this land, as far as skies are blue, Rose of Mordusia, we pledge our strength to you. Verse 2: From distant shores we gathered, in unity we came, To build a land of promise bright, and raise Mordusia's name. With every stride, we're side by side, in peace we make our way, Mordusia’s rose forever strong, through every dawning day. Verse 3: From Luthori’s Rose we once took root, beneath the southern skies, Through years of growth, we found our way, and saw our nation rise. Though bound by blood, we blossom free, two nations proud and strong, One white, one red and both in bloom, together we belong |
Proposed:
| Oh Mordusia, the land of dreams Wishes are upon our feet From Hosana to Adubura Talasor, Sayoon, and Sammodra Oh, our dear Mordusia, we see All the joy and smiles we feel Cherish the moments we were given All the chances and doors you opened Although we never know How you protect us from the storms We wave our flag for you For you're our one true blue Oh Mordusia, the land of dreams Wishes are upon our feet From Hosana to Adubura Talasor, Sayoon, and Sammodra |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
