4. The national hero will be chosen by the national legislature of the country, pending a barrage of political dissent and elections which will leave the issue undecided almost forever.
Above all, the purpose of the national hero should be served; he/she must be the standard of moral excellence. He/she will also be the role model for the children of the nation for them to grow up as patriotic and good citizens of the nation in a local, national, and global scene.

Good morals and right conduct according to which ideology? In New Olwe, porn stars are treated as heroes and role models... if this is a backdoor attempt to force Christian morals down the WA's throat, we're obviously going to vote against it.

That is certainly a good point. Spending a lifetime in the pursuit of peace and prosperity in the service of ones nation is indeed a noteworthy acomplishment.

Securing lasting peace and prosperity usually requires combat of some sort. Take the national heroes of America, for example... George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. are heroes because they fought a war to secure lasting peace and prosperity. Those things don't just happen... you've gotta fight for them.

That is very true, however, there are also other national heroes who made considerable impact without having to fight, such as Albert Einstein, G.W. Carver, Samuel Clemens, Helen Keller, and Booker T Washington. A country needs both .

There are many countries which achieved independence and sovereignty peacefully, through political agitation. Look north for an example. Combat also wasn't necessary for many countries today. Switzerland, for instance, seems to be doing pretty well.
