Ok, here goes

As a new age dawns on Mankind, we must realize our rights, restrictions and goals of freedom. The People must hold a contract with their government, to prevent oppression and barbariasm. So, in the name of liberty and justice, we assemble this constitution to ensure us our freedoms forever, until the end of Justice on this World. Fellow (insert country resident adjective here), together let us:
Allow Freedom for all our people, and all people who are under our great nation's jurisdiction
Protect our Nation, whatever the cost, to the last man standing, and never ever be annihilated of the face of the Planet
Obey the Constitution, since it governs the land
Allow all people life, liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness unless they infringe on the rights of other men
And never, ever in all our time, fight out against a fasir government, simply for fun or sport or to gain attention
With that said, I present to you: the Constitution of (insert country name here)!
 
We the citizens of the CivFanatics Center DemoGame setup this constitution for the seventh DemoGame of this forum, the first of Civilization IV. We devote this game to the progresion of unity among the people of the forum, the free spread of ideas and opinions, and the evolution of the game of Civilization. This constitution is here for the purpose of preserveing the ideas of the DemoGame and preserveing order in the democracy.

This version of the preamble has been floating arounf the threads since Civ 4 was released. I would like to encurage everyone to decide on this premble becuase of it's shortness in length and bluntness in objectives. It is just the ideas without any story. A preamble similair to those in real politics.



VOTE FUTURE"S PREAMBLE for DEMOGAME 7
 
Here goes,

Preamble of (insert name)
to the tune of Imagine by John Lennon

Imagine there's no laws
It's easy if you try
No other nations below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living without (insert nation name here)...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
lots of killing & dieing
And no religion too
Imagine what would happen without this constitution
Living life in chaos...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one(yay domination victory)

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
Tons of greed and hunger
A brotherhood of barbarians
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... sounds bad

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one, under our rule

And so i present you with this constitution
(i apologize for butchering this song, but it would be a nice preamble)
 
We, the sovereign citizens of [nation name], united by a common interest in our Civilization, guided by our desire for equality and justice, strengthened by our mutual respect, and reminded of our universal rights and responsibilities, do establish and promulgate this Constitution for our beloved nation.
 
Because we're designing the Constitution to live on to the next game, there is no need to worry about including the nation name. It can be a permanent 'mission statement' and not related to the specific game.
 
That doesn't mean the constitution should be totally devoid of flavor. Besides, changing a few words each game (should we be so lucky) to reflect a nation name won't hurt.

I have a Deja Vu! ;)

Great job, Swissempire!!! :thumbsup:

When is the closing date for suggestions on the preamble, Nobody??
 
"Our nation is strong, and we, the [insert name of people], will bring forth the best of fortitude, audacity, perseverance and honor to bring [insert nation name] to the lead of all nations. With strong resolve, our harmonious, yet assertive citizens will strive to make our nation rightfully equipped with the resources, laws and leadership needed to sustain our happy lives for perpetuity.
For [insert name of nation] our revered mother of all times!
 
Although we intend to create a constitution to last several games there is no problem changing the name in the Premble.
 
My Preamble

"Let us be a small country, with a small population. Where supply of goods is tenfold or hundredfold morn than we can use. Let our people value their lives and not migrate far. Though armour and weapons exist, there is no occasion to display them. Let us enjoy our foot, beautify our clothing, satisfied with our homes, delighted in our customs. Never needing to Outside our country, This country of ours Fanatica*"

*obviouly to be replaced with our nations name.
