PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 401 Whose National Anthem?
One of the oldest national anthems in the world is the Dutch anthem. It goes back to the 16th century. In South Africa, each stanza of the anthem features a different national language. There are just a handful of national anthems that have no official lyrics. Our mystery nation's "Royal March" is one of them. One of the reasons for its wordlessness is that there are 17 autonomous communities within this country's borders - and it's easier to get people to agree on the tune than the words. Name the country -- and we'll tell you more about its anthem.
