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:
| When Baltusia first, at the Republic's command, Arose from out the Seleya great, This was the charter, The Constitution of the Land! And the Congresspeople sang this song: Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! Still more majestic shall we rise, More strong from each foreign fight, As the President's song tears the Terra Serving but to strengthen the great Republic! Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! Thee naughty communists ne'er shall tame; In all their attempts to bring us down. We'll but destroy their blasted flag And finish the tyrannous autocracy of thee! Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! The People, still with freedom found, Shall find the happy coast there Greatest Republic! with matchless quality on display, And our resilient hearts to guard the free. Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves! Rule Baltusia! Baltusia rules the waves! Baltusians never, ever, ever, will be slaves!! |

| Message | the Block Bloc Seem to have lost its way and became an extreme far-right wing party, who compared people who believe in individual freedom to authoritarians. And the vampires are simply vigilantes who are fighting to make Baltusia free of crime. this is nothing then persecution and insults toward a party who has always been respectfull of others.

| Date | 18:17:02, October 11, 2017 CET | From | Free People's Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Patriotic National Anthem Act 4285 |
| Message | We all wish the best for Baltusia in our own way, however, it is truly disappointing to see all these threats being fired off left and right. We are meant to act properly, we are meant to be setting an example to the people, and we aren't accomplishing this by berating each other with lowly threats. I hope we can all take a step up, and show both our own people as well as neighboring states our greatness instead of the weakness shown by these low lying attacks. Niko Selwyn |
| Date | 19:04:53, October 11, 2017 CET | From | Government of Tropica | To | Debating the Patriotic National Anthem Act 4285 |
| Message | We have not called for lyrics to conservatives. we used it as an exemple, to show that it would been improper for a national anthem. Mr Pierre Larivière |
