((OOC NOTES:

For Bonnie Blue Flag, replace “Southern Rights” with “Texan Rights”, “Northern Treachery” with “Foreign Treachery”.

For The Internationale is also sung in Spanish within the GRoA))

I rather like God Save the Tsar, it has a solemnity to it that really makes you appreciate what Russia and the throne have been through over the years, such as the Reunification War and the various troubles with Germany and the Turks.

Rule Britannia, hands down. Its epicness is hard to match.

OOC: My favourite alternate anthem IOTL as well. Only the USSR anthem is more captivating.
 
OOC: I don't think using "Bonnie Blue Flag" is a good idea for the Republic of Texas. While the actual flag was an influence on the first OTL RoT flag (and therefore could be handwaved into remaining as an ATL RoT flag), the song was specifically written during/for the Confederacy in the Civil War. The version that you posted (a rousing version from the movie Gods and Generals that I personally like as well) doesn't include the parts where the specific Confederate states are mentioned by name.

I can't think of an alternative RoT anthem, though. Sorry.
