The government of Camel Eaters has finally chosen a national anthem. Agreed upon by all clans, septs, and tribes the song Auld Lang Syne was ratified today with a parade and the launching of several new programs designed to reduce the burden of the poor in our great nation. Why? Well a look at the lyrics of the song will show the meaning of the new programs and safety nets.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne,
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld ang syne.
We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne.
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

On a different note all alcoholic beverages were free this day. And every year, on the day of March 31, beer shall be free to the general populace!

We congratulate you on your adoption of a new national antheme.
Do the vendors of alcoholic beverages get compensation for the alcohol that they must give away for free?

Yes. And their clans usually reimburse them for it. If not.......then well the government can give them a bit of money.
