Bill: National Anthem Bill May 2072
Details
Submitted by[?]: Primitivist Ethno-Heathen Alliance
Status[?]: passed
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: January 2073
Description[?]:
| Although the previous bill to establish a National Anthem was narrowly defeated, the current lack of an anthem must be rectified. The previous anthem has been incorperated into this much longer song that we believe should be adopted as the national anthem of the Independent Davostan Republic: |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: None
Current:
| Dovrigemarschen (March of Davostag) 𝗕𝗲𝗳ä𝘀𝗸𝗮𝗿- Tågom fram uti striden för fädernesland Mot förtryckarens våldsamma härjande hand. Och mot dovgerska folk ännu frihet skall le, Ty åt oss Himlen seger skall ge. Tågom fram för vårt land att med geväret i hand Ifrån fjällar och strand lossa träldomens band, Att med geväret i hand lossa träldomens band. Tågom fram för vårt fädernesland! 𝗦𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗲- Træn frem i kampen om fædreland Mod undertrykkerens voldsomme hærgende hånd. Og mod dovgerske mennesker vil stadig frihed smile, For os skal Himlen give sejr. Træn fremad for vores land med gevær i hånden Fra bjerge og kyster løse bånd af trældom, At løsne trældomsbåndene med geværet i hånden. Træn fremad for vores fædreland! 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻- March forward in the battle for the fatherland Against the violent ravaging hand of the oppressor. And against Davostagian people still freedom will smile, For to us Heaven shall give victory. March forward for our country with rifle in hand From mountains and shore loose bonds of bondage, To loosen the bonds of servitude with the rifle in hand. March forward for our fatherland!

| Message | OOC: I am sooo sorry about the mixup with the previous anthem. Although I think you can all see that, despite my incompetence, my proposal is far superior than any other ones on offer ;) |

| Message | Would our people be called Davostanian? I always thought that countries with "stan" called their people something like Davostani? |

| Message | Unity Party: In the real world, technically the "(i)stan" is just a suffix meaning "land of". So Kazakhs live in Kazakhstan, Uzbeks live in Uzbekistan, Tajiks in Tajikistan etc. "Davo" would probably sound a bit stupid tho, so I went with "Davostanian"... |
