Article 2
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Rise, O Voices of Malivia Rise, O voices of Malivia, God may we Thy bounty share. Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare. Guide us, Lord, to wise decision, Ever of Thy grace aware, Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always For this land within Thy care. Rise, O voices of Malivia, Bringing her your proud acclaim, Grandly echoing through the mountains, Rolling o'er the far flung plain. Roaring in the mighty rivers, Joining in one grand refrain, Ascending to the sunlit heavens, Telling of her honoured name.
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. |
Proposed:
| Royal Anthem: 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! National Anthem: Rise, O voices of Malivia, God may we Thy bounty share. Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare. Guide us, Lord, to wise decision, Ever of Thy grace aware, Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always For this land within Thy care. Rise, O voices of Malivia, Bringing her your proud acclaim, Grandly echoing through the mountains, Rolling o'er the far flung plain. Roaring in the mighty rivers, Joining in one grand refrain, Ascending to the sunlit heavens, Telling of her honoured name. |

| Message | Is it still gonna affect the situation of the working class that a royal family is above them? Is it a constitutional monarchy? Does he or ahe have authority as said in your upcoming Constitution? |
| Date | 02:20:06, February 11, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | Is it gonna affect the national culture now that it is gonna be a dominion of the Holy Luthori Empire? Would it affect the people's independence? |
| Date | 20:43:49, February 11, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Front | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | This bill would make the Luthori monarch head of state as King/Queen of Malivia. He/she would be represented by the Governor-General, who would be elected. The monarch would have ceremonial power only. The monarchy of Malivia would be a constitutional monarchy. Upon any attempt by the monarch to push for greater political control or even a union with Luthori, the Malivian Front would be the first to protest. I'm not sure what you mean by "national culture", but this nation has been and still is, very much influenced by Luthori culture. Almost 10% of our population is of direct Luthori descent and many of our customs and ways of life can be traced back to those Luthori colonists and explorers of old. Johnathan Davis Leader of the Malivian Front |
| Date | 04:07:03, February 12, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | Is the ties with Luthori a federation or a confederacy? |
| Date | 21:30:05, February 12, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Front | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | Our ties with Luthori would be through a confederation, that is a Commonwealth or Confederation of nations who have the sitting monarch of Luthori as their head of state. However, the government of Luthori and their legislature, the National Diet, would have no authority over us or our government. We are, and will remain, an independent and sovereign nation. Johnathan Davis Leader of the Malivian Front |
| Date | 11:36:29, February 14, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | I disagree with the National Anthem Article. I bet the students might lose their voice singing the national anthem everyday. |
| Date | 13:08:02, February 14, 2017 CET | From | Malivian People's Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | I think if this bill were to pass we would be in violation of Article 1 of The Alliance of Terran Republics Treaty, which we have signed. Article 1, paragraph 2 states "The state's political system shall be democratic, transparent and open to all citizens. Its head of state with full powers and hence not being any representative of a monarch, shall be elected in free elections, with all citizens having equal suffrage" Larmar McKenzie Malivian People's Party Minister Of Foreign Affairs |
| Date | 17:19:50, February 14, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Front | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | To the honorable member from the MSP: The royal anthem would only be sung or played in the presence of the monarch and/or his or her representatives, ie: the Governor-General. To the honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs: A proposal from my party regarding Malivia's withdrawal from the Republic Treaty will be forthcoming. Johnathan Davis, MP Leader of the Malivian Front |

| Message | OK. |
| Date | 13:04:24, February 16, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | I want this to be proceeded to the voting phase. It would be a huge leap of development of Malivia, especially preserving and resuming from the Luthorian based culture through this confederated league. I have 101% support of this. |
| Date | 13:05:26, February 16, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
| Message | But change the propoaed to the Confederated Dominion of Malivia. |
| Date | 15:05:47, February 17, 2017 CET | From | Malivian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Creation of Dominion of Malivia Act |
