Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4276
Description[?]:
| OOC: I thought it would be kind of cool if our national anthem could be played with a backing. The lyrics should be sung to the British Patriotic Song : Jerusalem, by Sir Charles H. Parry. No prizes for guessing what it's about, RAC ;) |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Run to battle, men and women of Baltusia! The motherland looks proudly to you; Do not fear a glorious death. If anyone may, any given day Even attempt to subjugate Baltusia, Let them prepare for a fatal destiny, Which menaces such brave aggressor. For the men and women of the mighty Baltusia Have sworn, thousands upon thousands of times: To die rather than see the country's Majestic banner humiliated. To live in chains it's to live Mired in shame and disgrace; Run, brave ones, to battle!
Current:
| Oh beautiful, your glorious skies, Your amber waves of grain, Your mighty mountains’ majesty Beyond the golden plains! Baltusia! Baltusia! Compatriots, let us proudly Show our face, from today prouder than ever; Baltusia may live long And a slave again, never! |
Proposed:
| And did those folk in years gone past Walk on Villita's defences strong? And were the traitors of the devil Crushed to death by the strongest force? And did our people stand united Against that threat of tyranny? For we're Baltusia! Standing strong Against the threat of autocracy! Bring us our hope of burning light Bring us our weapons of desire Bring us our strength of a thousand hearts Bring us our bald eagle home! We'll never cease in any fight! We'll never sleep, for we are right! For we are Baltusia! The Terras' greatest, golden land! |
