Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: All of us! For our Country, for our Flag and Glory! Our valor and our writings are the envy of the ages. Our mountains and our valleys, they bring forth stalwart men. And to Perfection all our efforts we devote. All of us! For our Country, for our Flag and Glory! Our Elders and our children, they await our Country's call, And on the Day of Crisis they are as Lions of the Jungle. The heart of our West is ever Pontesi, May God preserve her until end of time. All of us! For our Country, for our Flag and Glory! The Gems of the West are her land and sea. Throughout the world her good deeds flow from pole to pole. And her name is her glory since time began. Immortality's Symbol is her Pride. All of us! For our Country, for our Flag and Glory!
Current:
| Oh Fatherland, Fatherland, show us a sign, To lead us from hatred and substance malign; I wake from my slumber and gaze at the day, Yet look to you always to show me the way; Through sword, bow and arrows, the perils I've slayed, Would make e'er a weaker man sorely afraid; But with such a guidance I'll never stray, My Fatherland is my way. Oh Motherland, Motherland, tell us again, Of those you repulsed as they challenged your reign; The grass recalls battles, our stalwart prowess, The hawks soaring over note how we progress; Building our futures with esprit de coeur, We're once, twice, thrice, evermore striken with awe; But with my own glorious part to play, My Motherland is my way. Oh Pontesi, Pontesi, let us once more, Praise your grand name as our fathers before; As one valiant nation to challenge the sins, That fell naive countries whose morals wore thin; I will fight for home, my morale will not break, With forces of wickedness slain in my wake, It's with such a realm my loyalty stays My Pontesi is my way. |

| Message | All opinions welcomed, although constructive criticism is preferred to just ripping the piss, of course. Please don't just approve in silence - we want to make the anthem suit as many parties as possible. |
| Date | 03:58:54, March 23, 2006 CET | From | Pontesi Fascist Coalition | To | Debating the National Anthem Prototype as Discussed |
| Message | The proposed anthem sounds a bit cheesey, but we can go with it with some minor changes. Specifically, lines 13, 21, 22 |

| Message | In all honesty, most anthems usually are a bit cheesy, but I'll change them to something hopefully less gut-wrenching. |

| Message | Here are the changes with thanks to the PFC for their concerns - line 13, and lines 21-23. I felt the need to tweak 23 slightly so that it better suited 21 and 22. "Our sterling achievements remain at our core" becomes "Building our futures with esprit de coeur" ... ... "The most taxing challenges we will complete, The strongest of enemies we will defeat, But with such a realm that'll always stay," becomes "I will fight for home, my morale will not break, With forces of wickedness slain in my wake, It's with such a realm my loyalty stays," ... The Proposal has been changed to reflect this. |
