About Bloody Time
Our players have stood around looking bored before countless football matches, but now the powers-that-be have finally come up with a suitably rousing national anthem, titled...
Brothers of Bettia
Oh Brothers of Bettia Be proud of your land, this Blessed Realm. Be true to your God, and to yourselves And all evil we shall overwealm!
Bettia, strong foes but stronger friends Our freedom we shall defend Oh Brothers of Bettia Be proud of this Blessed Realm.
Our mighty Aroras, Opponents stand in awe, Green and gold Are the colours of our flag Our faith is ever Solid to the core, We'll never give up And our spirits never sag
On the field of play Or on the field of war Don't let your nation down Be firm and stand tall
Our foes may scorn us So rise up and join us Cry out as one! BETTIA! BETTIA!
If anyone fancies having a sing-along, Brothers of Bettia has exactly the same tune as the national anthem of Italy, which apparently is an 'RL' nation. Whatever it is, it ain't in AO, and I can't find them on the KPB rankings so their footy team can't be that good.

There are a bunch of people who'll be wearing red, white, and blue (some of them speaking English), that hope you're right on this one |

The National Anthem of the Allied States of Myrtannia: "Oh Myrtannia" (shamelessly based on O Canada)
Oh Myrtannia, Our long united land, True brotherhood amongst the lands extend. From the main isle To our islands east, Truth and justice we defend. To all our kin We promise this: True equity for all! Long live our land Glorious and free! Oh Myrtannia we stand on guard for thee! Oh Myrtannia we stand on guard for thee! |

After stumbling over the words and massive accounts of snoring during 'Oh Myrtannia', the Minisrty of State and Foreign Affairs is proud to announce the ratification of a new, more rousing national anthem:
Stand Strong, United Isles
In our isles, their sands glistening, Many people stand as one! Long united, always resisting Any wrongs that would be done! We stand beside our brothers, Let our foes fall and be gone. Stand strong soldiers, Shoulder to shoulder, Fight injustice where you find it! Evil falters In our waters! Stand strong our Beloved Isles! Evil falters In our waters! Stand strong our United Isles!
(If you wish to sing along, 'Stand Strong, United Isles' is the exact same tune as the national anthem of Greece)

Spruitland's national anthem is a barely modified version of "Everybody must get stoned" by Bob Dylan. Well, the actual title of the original is Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, actually, but since Spruitlanders have trouble remembering a title that isn't part of the song lyrics and doesn't seem to make much sense at all, they changed it to the phrase they most enthusiastically sing along.
Everybody Must Get Stoned
Well, we'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good, We'll stone ya just a-like we said we would. We'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home. Then we'll stone ya when you're there all alone. But you would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned.
Well, we'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street. We'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat. We'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor. We'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door. But you would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned.
We'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table. We'll stone ya when you are young and able. We'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck. We'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck." Tell ya what, you would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned.
Well, we'll stone you and say that it's the end. Then we'll stone you and then they'll come back again. We'll stone you when you're riding in your car. We'll stone you when you're playing your guitar. Yes, but you would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned.
Well, we'll stone you when you walk all alone. We'll stone you when you are walking home. We'll stone you and then say you are brave. We'll stone you when you are set down in your grave. But you would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. |

Anthem of the Socialist Union (Sung to the tune of the anthem of Russia/USSR)
United forever in friendship and labor, Our mighty republic will ever endure! The Socialist Union will live through the ages, The dream of a people, their fortress secure! Long live our Socialist Motherland, Built by the people's mighty hand. Long live our people united and free! Strong in our friendship tried by fire, Long may our crimson flag inspire, Shining in glory for all men to see!
Through days dark and stormy, when great Mosser lead us, Our eyes saw above us the bright light of freedom. And our socialist leader, with faith in the people, Inspires us to build up the land that we love!
Long live our Socialist Motherland, Built by the people's mighty hand. Long live our people united and free! Strong in our friendship tried by fire, Long may our crimson flag inspire, Shining in glory for all men to see!

Long live our Socialist Motherland, Built by the people's mighty hand. Long live our people united and free! Strong in our friendship tried by fire, Long may our crimson flag inspire, Shining in glory for all men to see! |

Republic of Ereeland Press Presents The National Anthem
The following is the more or less official national anthem of the Republic of Ereeland, to be played at diplomatic and sporting events, etc. In most cases, the Gaelige (Gaelic) version is sung, but lyrics in Ereeland's two other major languages are also available.
Gaelige:
Sinne Fianna Fáil Atá faoi gheall ag Éiree Buíon dár slua Thar toinn do ráinig chughainn Faoi mhóid bheith saor Sean-tír ár sinsear feasta Ní fhágfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráill Anocht a théam sa bhearna baoil Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil Le gunna scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar Seo libh canaig Amhrán na bhFiann
Phoenetics of Gaeliege version:
Shin-na fee-in-na fall A-taw fwee yal eg Eree Bween daur slew Harr teen du rawnig cooin Fwaw vode veh sair Shann-tier awr shinshir fawsta Nee awg-fur fween teer-awn naw fween trawl A nukt a hay-un sa varna vwail Lay g'yan air gwale cunn bawsh no sale Le gunna schrake, fay law vock na bill air Shuh liv con-ig arawn naveen
In English:
Soldiers are we Whose lives are pledged to Ereeland Some have come From a land beyond the wave Sworn to be free No more our ancient sireland Shall shelter the despot or the slave Tonight we man the Tarnawhail In Eree's cause, come woe or weal 'Mid cannon's roar and rifles' peal We'll chant a soldier's song
In Badly Translated German:
Soldaten sind wir Wer Leben nach Erland versprochen werden Einige sind gekommen Von einem Land über der Welle hinaus Geschworen, um frei zu sein Nicht mehr unser altes sireland Schützt den Despot oder den Sklaven Heute abend bemannen wir das Tarnawhail In der Ursache Erees kommen Elend oder weal Unter Brüllen der Kanone und Glockengeläut des Gewehrs Wir singen das Lied eines Soldaten
Note: Because the German version is so unwieldy, it is never sung. It's just there because.. well, it is. |

The Imperial Anthem of Zongguo
While the Imperial Anthem as yet has not been translated from Zongguoese into English (for 'traditional purposes'), the melody should be quite familiar to those in foreign nations. In fact, it is used for the national anthems of two 'real life' nations.

To the tune of Beethoven's 9th symphony, Ode To Joy.
Rise O Voices of Rhodesia
Rise O voices of Rhodesia, God may we thy bounty share, Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare.
Guide us, Lord, to wise decision, Ever of thy grace aware. Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always For this land within thy care.
Rise O voices of Rhodesia, Bringing her your proud acclaim, Grandly echoing through the mountains Rolling over far flung plain
Roaring in the mighty rivers Joining in one grand refrain Ascending to the sunlit heavens Telling of her honoured name |

Here're the lyrics to the Zarblese national Anthem
in Zarblese:
Kuando surjur zarblidu impontu Kampnus lutnikus aguardur Sabur ben vikur frentnus Durzus batalius nan tardur
Zarblieus ardus komba'dus Mudformund leaudadus padra'nus Sabur semper levur Vensu'dus mostreur Fatdus sur vitoriozus
Eskudu ningen pasu Lansu espadeu rasdus Povus kantkur vibereur
Deztrese nasanpu unidu Sabkur sur zarblidu Ostentun eldus fiberus
In English
When the imponent Zarblese appear In the field where the fight awaits They know well what they have ahead That the hardness of the battle will not be long
And Zarbli in the heat of the combat Making of loyalty its pattern Always knows how to "take" [the enemies] Defeated and show That [Zarbli] is trully victorious
Shields that no one can trespass Fierce spears and swords A people that sings and cheers
For the thirteen nations united That know how to be Zarblese Showing off their fiber
Or something like that. |

Beneath The Skies - the Falcanian National Anthem
Upon an ancient mountaintop Beneath those ancient skies There hatched a mighty herald king Whose glory never dies!
And lo, the people grew, and learned When all around them fell A mighty new society For future bards to tell
The mighty tribes, Falcania atop the mighty peak They banded all together, then And glory they did seek
They brought aloft the mighty walls They manned the iron towers And little did they all suspect Approached the darkest hours
For darkness spread, without, within, The low ones crawled from mud They rose up from the valleys And they spilled Falcanian blood
Our hero, Falcon, climbed aloft And drew his mighty blade, He charged into the hordes outside For mercy, they all prayed
With endless grace, our noble king He threw them from our land The low ones were all exiled But evil, they yet planned
For silent traitors they had sown Who left open the gate The Falcon took his blade to fight But it was just too late
The low ones struck into our heart It seemed that they had won But the mighty Falcon gave himself, And then, the war was done.
The women wept, the warriors bowed, As Falcon's ashes burned, And to the ancient sky above Our king, at last, returned.
And then, atop that ancient mount Beneath these ancient skies, The elders met, and on that day The New King's throne did rise, And through the town, inside the walls Were heard the joyous cries For any man can kill a king But the Falcon never dies! |

Danubian Вставай, страна огромная, Вставай на смертный бой С фашистской силой тёмною, С проклятою ордой.
Припев: (2x) Пусть ярость благородная Вскипает, как волна! Идёт война народная, Священная война!
Дадим отпор душителям Всех пламенных идей, Насильникам, грабителям, Мучителям людей!
Припев
Не смеют крылья чёрные Над Родиной летать, Поля её просторные Не смеет враг топтать!
Припев
Гнилой фашистской нечисти Загоним пулю в лоб, Отребью человечества Сколотим крепкий гроб!
Припев (2x) Vstavaj, strana ogromnaja, Vstavaj na smertnyj boj! S fašistskoj siloj tjomnoju, S prokljatoju ordoj.
English
Pripev (2x) Arise, great country, Arise for a fight to the death Against the dark fascist forces, Against the cursed hordes.
Chorus: (2x) Let noble wrath Boil over like a wave! This is the peoples' war, a sacred war!
We shall repulse the oppressors Of all ardent ideas. The rapists and the plunderers, The torturers of people.
Chorus
The black wings shall not dare Fly over the Motherland, On her spacious fields The enemy shall not dare tread!
Chorus
We shall drive a bullet into the forehead Of the rotten fascist filth, We shall build a solid coffin For the scum of humanity!
Chorus (2x) |

For it was Preiva, glorious Preiva! |
