Proposals

Old value:: None
Current:
| Kizenian: Chizână dragă, de ce plângi? Nu auzi sunetul ce răzbate plaiurile noastre? Oprește-te îndată și te roagă, roagă-te pentru patria ta! Căci libertatea e aproape, iar tânguirea dă roade! Hai, deci, să înfăptuim țara, țară noastră! Să nu fie cu fel și fel de regi și asupritori, Cu ranchiună sau voie rea, Dar nici izolată în mândria sa oarbă! Chizânul tace și se roagă liniștit, Steagu-i luminează fața, Republica se naște, iar țara se învelește, Căci sorocul i-a fost scris! Ferice de destinul nostru nou, Un vârtej de euforie se prelinge, Peste meleaguri și hotare, Căci țara este unită! Așadar, de ce deznădăjduiești? Vino cu grăbire, căci acum e momentul, Lupta și speranța, Ca să-ntindem hora victoriei! Loial munților noștri, urmărind râurile Vom învinge, precum bujorul după iarnă, Îndreptați spre Dumnezeu, Neînfricați și smeriți! Vulturul zboară peste țărm, La răsărit de soare, vestind în lung și lat Un nou inceput, O nouă stea pe cer, steaua noastră, Chizenia! Luthorian: Dear Kizenian, why do you cry?* Don't you hear the sound traveling our lands? Stop right away and pray, pray for your Fatherland! For liberty is near, and wailing gives results! So come, come let's built the nation, our nation!** Let it not be made of various kings and oppressors, With hatred or ill intent, Nor as well alien in it's own blind pride! The Kizenian is silent and prays peacefully,*** The flag illuminates his face, The Republic is bejng born, and the people cheer, 'Cause it's destiny has been written! Cheerful of our destiny, A whirl of euphoria trickles down,**** Across the lands and borders, For the country is united! Therefore, why are you wailing? Come with rush, for this is the moment, The struggle and the hope, To set in dance of victory!***** Loyal to our mountains, following the rivers We will triumph, like the peony after winter, Set toward God, Fearless and humbled! The eagle flies over the coast, At sunrise, announcing left and right A new beginning, A new star on the sky, our star, Kizenia! Corrections: *Female noun for Kizenian ** Different translation from original, from "so,come" to something more with sense in Luthorian ***from verb "tace" to a noun in Luthorian, slight difficulty ****vortex less appealing here, replaced *****"Hora" is close to a cultural act of dancing together, no Luthorian viable translation |
Proposed:
| The Internationale Arise ye workers from your slumbers Arise ye prisoners of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant. Away with all your superstitions Servile masses arise, arise We'll change henceforth the old tradition And spurn the dust to win the prize. CHORUS: So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. No more deluded by reaction On tyrants only we'll make war The soldiers too will take strike action They'll break ranks and fight no more And if those cannibals keep trying To sacrifice us to their pride They soon shall hear the bullets flying We'll shoot the generals on our own side. CHORUS No saviour from on high delivers No faith have we in prince or peer Our own right hand the chains must shiver Chains of hatred, greed and fear E'er the thieves will out with their booty And give to all a happier lot. Each at the forge must do their duty And we'll strike while the iron is hot. CHORUS |

| Message | We're an Eastern nation now, so I thought a bit of Mao Thought might be in order! But we'll see about that.... |

| Message | lol pretty cool but we'll get told off for RL references , I'll support this if you change the anthem to the internationale or the red flag or something , but dont put it to vote till we have a super majority. |

| Message | Yup. |
| Date | 18:24:03, July 13, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | Ummm, if you call your regions Soviets and your parliament the Supreme Soviet, that makes the parliament the Supreme Region... which is kinda stupid. :) Also, who is Mao? Where is China? Never heard of those things in the world of Particracy... |
| Date | 18:54:08, July 13, 2005 CET | From | II / Newsnight Faction | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | Who is Marx? What is Marxism? In fact... whoah.... can't restrain thoughts! No!!! Outside influences gushing to mind!!! Arrgh!! As for Soviets, I just picked it for a talking point. We never got around to naming the regions anything interesting in Endralon either. Now I'm sure you'll know as well as I that the regions in the USSR were (and are still in Russia) called Oblast. It's the same singular and plural if I recall. But how about everyone else? Oh actually, knowing you lot, you probably do! I wouldn't mind calling the regions Provinces after China, Prefectures after Japan, Länder after Germany, or even Slices! But that's me...! |

| Message | how about Mao chopped down the KMT, call they were nationalist shites. |
| Date | 11:27:57, July 14, 2005 CET | From | Movement for Liberation and Communism | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | I wouldnt really want to associate with mao or china anyway ... they are false communists in RL , as for Marx I hereby declare he was an old endralonion philosopher who just happened to write and say everything marx in RL did ... some thought he was a bit crazy for constantly talking about places that didnt exist but we saw the validity within his words^^. Also on further consideration a province is really to large to be called a soviet in the traditional sense , lets set it back to province for the minute we can work from there , sam with the anthem set it to the internationale. |
| Date | 16:05:58, July 14, 2005 CET | From | Movement for Liberation and Communism | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | Would you mind changing the relevant fields here to the state they were in old endralon ? then we can immediately put this to vote after the next election . We can always talk about changing the values to something new later when all our members get here. |
| Date | 16:06:46, July 14, 2005 CET | From | Movement for Liberation and Communism | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | thats anthem --> internationale region-->province (I agree we need to find a new good name for province later though) |
| Date | 16:55:35, July 14, 2005 CET | From | II / Newsnight Faction | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | Here goes... |
| Date | 16:59:19, July 14, 2005 CET | From | II / Newsnight Faction | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | Oh actually, how about Nova Marxstadt or something along those lines ... seeing as this is NEW Endralon? |
| Date | 17:46:35, July 14, 2005 CET | From | Movement for Liberation and Communism | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | Yeah 'll go for that keeping exactly the same name would be confusing RPwise ... sepcially if we one day retake the city and name it back ^^. |
| Date | 15:34:59, July 15, 2005 CET | From | Movement for Liberation and Communism | To | Debating the Identity |
