	This quiz was interesting to put together - find national anthems which do not include the name of the country in the title, but are still recognizable as belonging to a certain country. And a few hard ones. This quiz should not be easy, so feel good if you can get half of them. If you have any questions, corrections or suggestions, please comment. If you like the quiz, please nominate it using the link above.

	Good quiz, but you might want to change "Patriots of Micronesia" to something else.

	I thought 'Patriots of Micronesia' was just such a hilarious title that it had to be included. And it's interesting that the tune is German.

	I was going to say that I think a lot of these countries are too obscure, but after a second look, if I either knew languages better or thought a little harder, I could have got a lot more. I got half. Good job on this quiz! (I also like the Micronesia one).

	I really liked the quiz, as you have quite a few ways of approaching it. For example, I got Armenia because I recognized Armenia's writing system in the original title. I got Bhutan due to the dragon reference. I got the Netherlands but recognizing the title was Dutch. And others, like Micronesia, were a gift from the creator :P.

	Het Wilhelmus is more commonly translated as 'The Wilhemus' and you might mention that Philip van Marnix is strongly believed to have written the lyrics.

	Some suggestions: Israel-Hatikvah (The Hope) Belgium-Brabançonne (Song of Brabant) Poland-Dąbrowski's Mazurka Turkey-The March of Independence

	Holy cow! I almost fell off my chair when I got 20 - this is a very well put-together quiz, with clues from the title, script and composer. Nominated!

	Great quiz! Pedantic nitpick: God Save the Queen/King is also one of the national anthems of New Zealand, although God Defend New Zealand is far more often played.

	Great quiz. Only 75% got Micronesia despite the hint in the title!!the british national anthem tune is also used by Liechtenstein which was fun when we played them in a World Cup qualifier. Tune is also used for the Norwegian Royal anthem i.e in the presence of the monarch as opposed to the national anthem and with different words
