Dou Huanhu Tianchao
Dou Huanhu Tianchao (都歡呼天朝/All Hail Tianchao) is the national anthem of the Empire of Tianchao.
An ancient hymn, it was first written by a patriotic poet during the early days of the Zhai dynasty. The song quickly grew in popularity within a few short years and was first adopted as the national anthem with the coronation of Huangdi Tang (斎糖帝), the fourth ruler of the Zhai dynasty.
The song was once fully discarded for a time following the conquest of Tianchao by the Arslan-ruled Lin dynasty, but was readopted officially with the independence of the Lin dynasty following the fragmentation of the Gergazard Khaganate, yet there was some reluctance to use it while under the rule of a foreign people throughout the dynasty's tenure. Popularity in the hymn was renewed with Tianchao's return to Jiti rule with the overthrow of the Lin dynasty by the Ang dynasty.
The fifth stanza is traditionally omitted due to belief that it is too ironic; considering that Tianchao has a long history of usurpations and several chaotic eras of division and civil war that often resulted in the repeated overthrowing of dynasties and the occasional extinction of imperial bloodlines.
The word "Tianchao (天朝)" in the lyrics is sometimes replaced with the name of the current dynasty in power when sung, but this practice is frowned upon; especially considering that commoners in the remote backcountries of the empire sometimes go generations unaware that the dynasty has changed or, in the case of division periods, that ownership their land has changed hands.
Additionally, during the women-ruled Qin dynasty, the word "Huangdi (皇帝/Emperor)" was replaced with Niangdi (娘帝/Empress).

Yamatai ni Chikara
Yamatai ni Chikara (耶馬台に力/Empower Yamatai) is the national anthem of the Empire of Yamatai. It was first written by Uesugi Harutaka (上杉治孝) – a close friend of Shintoki-Tenno – in the aftermath of Shintoki-Tenno's conquest of the capital and his ascension to emperorship. As the song spread with each victory, it gained popularity. It was finally adopted as the national anthem by decree of Fuyugize-Tenno, the fourth ruler of Yamatai and its first female ruler.

Notes & Trivia
- Dou Huanhu Tianchao is based off "All Hail Britannia," the national anthem of the Holy Britannian Empire of the Code Geass anime/manga universe.
- That said, the fifth stanza is pretty ironic, since Tianchao, like real-world China, has a long history of usurpations and civil war.
- Yamatai ni Chikara was partially inspired by Rule, Britannia!, a British patriotic song.
