The Blessed Republic

"The Blessed Republic" was adopted as the national anthem of Laurencia from May 15, 2018 until the deactivation of the Second Republic, June 6, 2018.

The anthem was composed by Hunter Eno while he listened to anthems and patriotic hymns of various countries.

Lyrics
Promote happiness and unity!

Bless our Republic and all her people!

Promote happiness and unity!

Let it be blessed and grow.

Bless our Republic and all her people!

Blessing grant, oh God our Lord, on the states of Laurencia

States of golden liberty and sunshine, happiness and song

Stand united, we of Laurencia, democracy and glory ever

Onward march together

God bless Laurencia.

For Laurencia, ever Laurencia , let our voices ring with pride

For Laurencia, ever Laurencia , her name hail far and wide,

A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure whatever befall

May God bless Laurencia

Forever more!

Hear our prayer for Thou Unseen.

God of Israel, we are at Thy feet,

In the bonds of love we meet,

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our free land!

Customs and federal law
Those serving in the military were required to salute as the anthem was played. Those in uniform whom do not salute were to be fined Laurencian Federal Notes for misrepresenting their nation.

Civilians were asked to simply stand at attention (preferably with their hand over their heart or their hands behind their back), men were asked to remove their hats as a sign of respect, and religious individuals were encouraged to close the anthem with a personal thanks and prayer to God.

Government officials such as the President or Chancellor were to stand at attention and perform the traditional Laurencian salute.

It was illegal to desecrate the flag in any way during the anthem, and those caught doing so were to be put into prison for a week for dishonoring Laurencia.
