The Church Hierarchy has declared this Christmas carol the official Christmas Carol of The Oppressive Church for this Holiday Season:

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (http://www.allthingschristmas.com/music/midis/IHeardTheBells1.mid)

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men."

Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

The Roanian Garrison has decided that this is a nice song, and thus will be 'allowing' the government to maintain it.

OOC: Hey, I provide most of your defense. And I'll be damned if I'll spend money on people who pick nasty, modern songs.

OOC: That song is actually my third favorite X-mas Carol... My favorite is Silver Bells, second favorite is Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. But I thought this better symbolized a Christian Nation then either of those.

Our song is "Jingle Hell's Bells", sung... of course, by AC/DC.

No other christmas song is allowed. Damn carollers walking all over my mine fields and not one getting blasted...

FOX is changing that, by using our "Programing Satellite" project, to hack Baggera Satellites, and play 24/7 Christmas Carols. And really religious ones too, like "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Silent Night"

Enjoy! :lol:

OOC: Do that and I start knocking your satalites into the atmosphere. Besides. I use a type of miltary satalite that sends viruses out to hackers. That and I have thousands of governmen trained hackers working to keep my stsrems hacker free...

Enjoy! :lol:

One of my officials brought it to my attention. Its nice, we may consider it as part of our so-called 'Christmas' season.

Our nation does not allow Christmas to go on in our nation because it just gives workers a reason to get off work, so we will not accept this song into our government. We don't believe in stupid light hearted songs in our nation. Don't even try to hack in on my satelites either or all your christmas satelites will come down with a virus and fall down to the earth.
