The 1st National Anthem: Memesterlied.
Memesterlied is still remembered, as the history of Memester was kept in a safe place, unlike the history of the unnamed Empire. Memesterlied was the song that gave rise to people wanting a United Memester, when the unnamed Empire broke apart. Memesterlied was written in 1800, when Memester gained Independence from Advancia, rumored to be the unnamed Empire that broke apart.

Memester, unser großes Heimatland,
Vereint unter einem Land.
Vorwärts in Frieden und Harmonie,
Ewig für Jahrtausende.
Von den Alpen bis zum Haven,
von der Leo bis an den Bucht.
Memester, unser großes Heimatland,
Vereint unter einem Land!
Memester, unser großes Heimatland,
Vereint unter einem Land!

Was bleibt von einem alten Reich,
ist unsere fortschrittliche Nation.
Vorwärts, in eine strahlende Zukunft,
In immerwährendem Frieden und Wohlstand.
Seit wir uns wiedervereinigt haben,
Lasst uns unsere Bande festhalten!
Was bleibt von einem alten Reich,
ist unsere fortschrittliche Nation.
Was bleibt von einem alten Reich,
Ist unsere fortschrittliche Nation.

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit, 
Für das Memesterisches Königreich.
Egal welche Bedrohung oder Feind,
wir werden für unser Land kämpfen.
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit, 
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand.
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, Memesterisches Königreich!
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, Memesterisches Königreich!

Now, the translation.

Memester, our great homeland,
United under one land.
Forwards in peace and harmony,
Everlasting for millenniums.
From the Alps to the Haven,
From the Leo to the Bay.
Memester, our great homeland,
United under one land!
Memester, our great homeland,
United under one land!

What remains of an old Empire,
Is our progressive nation.
Forwards, into a bright future,
Of everlasting peace and prosperity.
Ever since we reunited,
Let's keep our bonds strong!
What remains of an old Empire,
Is our progressive nation.
What remains of an old Empire,
Is our progressive nation.

Unity and justice and freedom,
For the Kingdom of Memester.
No matter any threats or foe,
We'll fight for our land.
Unity and justice and freedom,
Are the safeguards of fortune.
Flourish in the radiance of this fortune,
Flourish, Kingdom of Memester!
Flourish in the radiance of this fortune,
Flourish, Kingdom of Memester!

2nd National Anthem: God Save the King/Queen.
One of the few remnants of what the Unnamed Empire was, other than the current King and Queen, was this anthem, and the 3rd Anthem. This anthem was used when Memester reunited with 5 other states, also lost to times, to form Advancia again. It changed over the years, and is now used by Memester, which only had Memesterlied as its anthem before.

The lyrics was later changed to fit the country's past and yearns of freedom and liberty, and the country's personification as a servant of the people, standing alongside them, and being grown from the heroes of the past.

[box]
Across the vast ocean
Lies this land of liberty,
Upheld by all.
The torch that lights up the land
From the few who led the way,
To thee we'll raise our cuppa tea,
God Save the King/Queen!

The chains of tyranny,
Broken off the pure and free maid,
Exclaims her name:
"I am a free Memester,
And I serve the free and bold,
Hear my words echo the world,
And ourshine past woes!"

The noble few nutured her
Brought the maid up from rags,
The legacy of few.
The old torch still burns bright,
With new bearers to light,
To which we exclaim to them:
God Save the King/Queen!

The fight of our times and then,
Blinding light of liberty,
From which she descends.
Up in arms with her people,
And brave through the new storm,
For when the sky clears up,
The Rainbow of Hope.

A new chance emerges,
To rebuild bridges of trust,
Across the past.
The battle hardened maid stands,
Still serving through the years,
And exclaims to her saviours:
"God Save the King/Queen!"
[/box]

The anthem can also have the chorus sang 2 times, which is used in wartime, but it can also be used in peace time. 
Singing Queen instead of King is pretty common, as Memester now has a King and Queen controlling the country.

The first verse can be used as the National/Royal anthem, as it might take a longer time to play in Sports, but the full verses must be played during some ceremonies, National holidays, Visits by other leaders, and more.

The First and Last Stanzas can be used for basically anything.

3rd National Anthem: Auferstanden Aus Ruinen.
This anthem, same as God Save the King/Queen, is also another remnant of the unnamed Empire. As Memester rebuilts itself from the fall of that Empire, this song would be appropriate for what it's currently doing right now.

[Memesterian:]
Auferstanden aus Ruinen
Und der Zukunft zugewandt,
Lass uns dir zum Guten dienen,
Memester, einig Heimatland.
Alte Not gilt es zu zwingen,
Und wir zwingen sie vereint,
Denn es muss uns doch gelingen,
Daß die Sonne schön wie nie
Über Memester scheint,
Über Memester scheint!

[Fluffsterian:]
From External to Internal Conflicts,
Which Memester has fought against.
As we people march onwards together,
Raising our banners of different lands.
Let's end oppression and corruption,
For the better of this land.
May the people's monarchy lead us onwards,
Break all barriers of segregation,
For all races to be equal,
For all races to be equal.

[Advancian]
Lass uns beschützen, lass uns bauen,
Lernt und schafte wie ne zuvort,
Mougen wi Feinde unsere Sterke zeige,
De Sterke und Marcht dur Volksarmee!
Alle Menschen und Halbmenschen,
Keiner darf diskriminiert werden.
Für de Einheit und Gleichheit aller,
Indie Hass und Engste bersei,
Über Memester scheint,
Über Memester scheint!

Now, mixed together.

Risen from ruins
And facing the future,
Let us serve you for the good,
Memester, united Homeland.
Old woes are to be overcome
And we overcome them united.
Because we so must succeed,
So that the sun shines beautiful as never before,
Over Memester shines,
Over Memester shines!

From External to Internal Conflicts,
Which Memester has fought against.

Raising our banners of different lands.

Break all barriers of segregation,
For all races to be equal,
For all races to be equal.

Let us protect, let us build,
Learn and create like never before,
May we show enemies our strength,
The strength and power of the people's army!
All Humans and Demi-humans,
None shall be discriminated.
For the unity and equality of all,
By removing hatred and fears,
Over Memester Shines,
Over Memester Shines!

The 4th National Anthem was originally used for the unnamed Empire, which was later recovered in the "Secret Stash" of Juntism0ld II's USB Stick. This was created in 1873, and the lyrics were changed to fit Memester.

[Center][b]Memester in Black, Red and Gold.[/b][/center]

[Box]
Whenever you see mountains and hills,
A forest, rivers, or massive lakes in the distance,
With towns and cities all around,
Across massive oceans, bordered by regional powers.
You'll meet a country in a 3-coloured dress,
Wrapped in a reflection of the glowing colours of the flag. 
Look, the black forests in the distance,
With the Advancian Eagle (red in colour) on the ground,
And the golden sand across South Hoodies,
That's the flag flying in the wind!
Yes, as black as the night sky in the Holmarkean Alps,
And the red sun rising across Flufferonia,
And the gold gave its colour to Eastminister Palace,
That's Memester in Black, Red, and Gold!

They defend, and fought, both he and she!
Now the flame of victory burns,
All across Memesterian lands.
Against the sea, sky and land,
Flags on flags are rising, like our advancements in science.
As sneaky as they can be, they fought in silence,
Carrying flags in Black, Red and Gold. 
Like the hills of Grünberg and Nordheim,
It will forever remain in the skyline. 
Look, it's shining again over Mayrina Bay,
In the Black, and Red and Gold.
Let it echo from the States and Regions,
Over the land that Memesterians have gained;
"Long live the Monarchy and Memester!
For Liberty, Unity and Justice!"
[/Box]

The 5th National Anthem predates all of the anthems on the list. Written in 1785, when the Advancian Kingdom started its decline, Memesterians were hoping to gain independence. This was one of the songs, and soon, it became the defacto anthem of the then Memesterian state, before being replaced by Memesterlied, as Memester became a kingdom.

[Fluffsterian]
Where the Mayrina flows into 3,
The flowers bloom in Fluff Valley,
Where vineyards grow and cheese are made,
Beneath the towering Holmarkean Alps.
This is where 3 colours stand proudly,
Against the threats of the world,
May our homeland stand proudly and free
Everlasting for centuries and on.
May our homeland stand proudly and free
Everlasting for centuries and on.

[Memesterian]
Über Jahrhunderte haben wir ertragen
Die Schrecken des Kolonialismus,
Der unsterbliche Geist von Memester
Wird fremde Unterdrückung besiegen,
Der Stern des Südens führt uns weiter
Für Freiheit und Demokratie,
Hier werden wir kämpfen oder sterben,
Libertäres sozialistisches Königreich Memester!
Hier werden wir kämpfen oder sterben,
Libertäres sozialistisches Königreich Memester!

May our homeland stand proudly and free
Everlasting for centuries and on.

Over centuries, we've endured
Terrors of colonialism,
The undying spirit of Memester
Will defeat foreign oppression,
The Southern star leads us on
For liberty and democracy,
This is where we will fight or die,
The Libertarian Socialist Kingdom of Memester!

6. Hymn of Memester (Hymn of Meistaat)

This song was used during the Meistaat Uprising, and the later Meistaat Republic, as the song that united everyone. There were proposals by some to make this one of the National Anthems, with slightly different lyrics, or make this the 4th anthem of Neu Holmark. There was also a proposal to use this, with different lyrics, to the proposed West Memester nation. 

As of 9th October, 2029, this is the 6th National Anthem of Memester.

[url=https://youtu.be/OYBMrBXLERU]Ah yes, that island in the Mediterranean with a very unique language.[/url]

[Box]
From the shores to the Alps, flies high, the flag of freedom,
The storms it withstood, shall proof that all yearn to remain free.
Draped across the Southeast, the colours of Black-Red-Gold.

Those victorious battles and wars, are redundant in times of peace,
Let's pledge to rebuild the lost bonds, of what united us all.
Then shall this bright land be united, in peace, and prosperity.
[/Box]

In Memesterian:

[Box]
Von den Küsten bis zu den Alpen, weht hoch die Fahne der Freiheit,
Die Stürme, die wir kämpften, zeigen, dass wir frei bleiben.
Über dem Südosten sind die Farben Schwarz-Rot-Gold drapiert.

Die Siege im Krieg, sind in Zeiten des Friedens überflüssig,
Lasst uns geloben, das Gefühl der Einheit neu zu entfachen.
Dann wird dieses helle Land vereint sein, in Frieden und Wohlstand.
[/Box]
