"'''Were It So Easy'''" is the national anthem of [[Layfet]]. It contains no lyrics and was composed by [[Layfetian Revolutionary War]] veteran, composer, and poet Kiyohira Soma in 1739. The inspiration for the piece came from Soma witnessing the General [[James Arnold Tallmadge]]'s "flag march" at the pivotal Battle of Costa Este in 1724. The title comes from a line in a speech made by Tallmadge to the citizens of Layfet at the cease of hostilities. It was recognized for official use by the Army by 1765, and was eventually adopted as the national anthem by an act of Congress in 1811, which was signed by Executive Minister Yoshihiro Iwamoto. Prior to its adoption, Layfet had no official national anthem, however songs such as "Battle Hymn of Tonnes" and "March of the Republic" were used to represent Layfet.
