Not necessarily for your country or any real place (or no place, Eutopia?), just a song that is anthemic and should be in larger use

Not a city, but I always thought the Morrowind theme could work as a national anthem.

Another song that stands out in this regard is the "Temple of Tyr" song from Neverwinter Nights

Gerudo should fr be a desert nation's anthem

Gerudo should be every nation's anthem.

I always loved the Dark World theme from A Link to the Past. It has a triumphant feel, could work as an anthem!

I just replayed ALttP again using the Randomizer mod where it changes the location of all the items while making sure the game can be completed. The score of that game is incredible.

Mute City.

Would make a banger anthem, no lyrics either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mute City is amazing but Big Blue is just so good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Big Blue isn't a town.

Was thinking Aeropolis as a contender.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah, it wouldn't fit the prompt but it's a banger of a song is all.

For the USA any music from a first person shooter.

Does the NRA have a theme song?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Juno Theme, Ragnarok Online

Not town theme, but Offline Lobby, EDF5

Edit:
For a peaceful small country, Little Root, Pokemon RSE.

My first thought was you could probably set national anthem type lyrics to the classic Kakariko Village theme from LttP or OoT.

My next thought was there tend to be two kinds of national anthems, the ones that are weirdly "our fields and trees are great" like the Australian national anthem, or "We'll stab all your blood out" like the French anthem.

My third thought was wait, both of those phrases fit into the Kakariko Village theme:

Our fields and trees are great with hills and grass and lakes We'll stab all your blood out stab and stab and stab

--O Kakariko, Verse 1
