Hunting for candidates for a possible Anthem for Luobaniya I also consulted this record, suffice it to say that in most cases it made me conscious of what I was not looking for and I am also very much aware that in some instances the memories invoked by a few of these Anthems will not instill the happy feeling of belonging and peaceful tranquility.

I have no intention to upset anyone, nor do I want to offend any ones feelings unnecessarily, so regard this as an historical document for your reference only.

To see the relevant flag for each nation current at the time of recording you can click on the nations name in the track listing and hopefully it will take you to an image of that flag.

Lastly I would also like to caution anyone whose nationalistic spirits soar too high, that it is a good assessment of any mans qualities, that which is said about the heart of the man of power, that rather than to gain glory from invading and conquering cities, it is indeed nobler to quench ones wrath and to still ones temper!

And as always, I hope you enjoy this, but within reason...
