This Map Shows the Beginning of Every European Country’s National Anthem

Some are relatively straightforward and will come as no surprise, like Great Britain’s “God save our gracious Queen!” or Germany’s “Unity and justice and freedom for the German fatherland!”. Others are heavier with hints of historic struggles. “Neither Ukraine’s glory nor freedom has died yet,” goes the Ukrainian anthem, adopted in 2003 following its independence from the Soviet Union. Similarly, the Romanian national anthem (“Wake up, Romanian, from the sleep of death”) has been historically sung after all major conflicts and officially replaced the communist-era national anthem after the 1989 Revolution.

Try having someone else read you the lyrics, while you guess which country they belong to. It’s probably harder than you think — especially with Spain, one of the only anthems in the world with no lyrics!
