Alright, I’m doing another poll here, on more national anthems.
Why?
Well, after seeing the overwhelming majority of how many people picked “Star-Spangled Banner” in the last poll, which was about how many people liked which English anthem, I decided to try it again.
This time, I won’t use similarity in languages. I’ll just use geographical regions.
NOW PLEASE! Pick an anthem BASED ON HOW GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL IT SOUNDS, NOT POLITICAL VIEWS.
NOW THAT IT’S NOT IN ENGLISH THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN BE BIASED NOW MUAHAHAHA!
I’ll again put a vocal and instrumental version if I could find it. To avoid any speculated political views, I’ve listed them in alphabetical order.
(God damnit why are they so hard to find, especially the instrumentals. If you have a better rendition please send them)
China - "March of the Volunteers" (义勇军进行曲)

And I’m do- OH WAIT! Can’t forget Taiwan. I can’t ever forget Taiwan. I personally absolutely love their anthem. It sounds heavenly. It goes by two names. The first is literally the “National Anthem of the Republic of China” (中華民國國歌). But that’s bland. I like the other name much better. (It might not be the official name but I like it more)
Taiwan - "Three Principles of the People" (三民主義)
Vocal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvVRecQrHpU
No instrumental. BUT WHO NEEDS INSTRUMENTAL WHEN IT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL!?
ALRIGHTY! NOW WE GET TO VOTING!
- “March of the Volunteers”
- “His Imperial Majesty’s Reign”
- “National Anthem of Mongolia”
- “Patriotic Song” (North Korea)
- “The Patriotic Song” (South Korea)
- “Three Principles of the People”
Lemme know what geographical region to do next (you can’t stop me, I’m gonna make another one eventually)
