Old value:: Luthori has not yet perished so long as we shall live. What foreign aggression has seized, we'll take back with the sword. March, march, Poniatowski, from Geharon to Luthori, We shall follow you and Return to our people. We'll cross the desert, we'll cross the mountains, We shall ever be Luthorians, Kariparta has shown us the way How to prevail. March, march, Poniatowski... As Wybicki crossed the desert And returned to Randamar After the Agathi invasion To redeem the country. March, march, Poniatowski... A father says to his Basia, As he spares not a tear: "Listen, now, can you hear our men Beating the kettle-drums?" March, march, Poniatowski...

And was the holy Lamb of God On Luthori's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Yishelem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Yishelem In Luthori's green and pleasant land. |
Proposed:
| Es braust ein Ruf wie Donnerhall, wie Schwertgeklirr und Wogenprall: Zum Rhein, zum Rhein, zum leutschen Rhein, wer will des Stromes Hόter sein? Refrain: Lieb' Vaterland, magst ruhig sein, lieb' Vaterland, magst ruhig sein, fest steht und treu die Wacht, die Wacht am Rhein! Fest steht und treu die Wacht, die Wacht am Rhein! Durch Hunderttausend zuckt es schnell, und aller Augen blitzen hell; der Leutsche bieder, fromm und stark, beschόtzt die heil'ge Landesmark. Refrain Er blickt hinauf in Himmelsau'n, wo Heldenvδter niederschau'n, und schwφrt mit stolzer Kampfeslust: Du Rhein bleibst leutsch wie meine Brust! Refrain Solang ein Tropfen Glut noch glόht, noch eine Faust den Degen zieht, und noch ein Arm die Bόchse spannt, betritt kein Feind hier deinen Strand! Refrain Der Schwur erschallt, die Woge rinnt die Fahnen flattern hoch im Wind: Am Rhein, am Rhein, am leutschen Rhein wir alle wollen Hόter sein. Refrain |

| Message | Translation for the Song: 1. It roars a call like an echo of thunder, like clashes of swords and collitions of billows: to the Rhein, to the Rhein, to the Luthoran Rhein!: Who wants to be the stream's guardian? Refrain Dear fatherland shall be silent, Dear fatherland shall be silent: Firmly and devoted stands the watch, the watch on the Rhein! Firmly and devoted stands the watch, the watch on the Rhein! 2. Through hundreds of thousands it quickly twitches, and everybody's eyes brightly flash; the Luthoran honestly, piously, and strongly, protects the sacred land. Refrain 3. He looks up to the meadows of heaven, where ancient heroes glance down, and swears with pride pugnacity: You Rhein will remain Luthoran like my chest! Refrain 4. As long as a drop of blaze still glows, a fist still draws the dager, and one arm still holds the rifle, no enemy will here enter your shore! Refrain 5. The oath rings out, the billow runs the flags wave high in the wind: On the Rhein, on the Luthoran Rhein we all want to be the guardian. Refrain And here is the music: http://home.foni.net/%7Ehahnstrohbach/diewacht.mp3 |

| Date | 13:00:31, March 06, 2006 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Vive l'impero! |
| Message | No; I just like the Second Reich of Germany =). I have to say, German is a much more powerful language than Italian, in my opinion. Also, I couldn't find the English Lyrics to any of the Italian songs XD |
| Date | 15:40:24, March 06, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Vive l'impero! |
| Message | The Holy Roman Empire was the First Reich, so moving onto the Second Reich is natural progression. We prefer our national anthem though. |
| Date | 16:32:42, March 07, 2006 CET | From | Shuggoth Progressive Party | To | Debating the Vive l'impero! |
| Message | I would vote yes, as these are superior to what we have now. (Though I am still fond of the Celtic titles - go Celts!) |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
