Karātōl'ikī Polek'o ([Garetolian Pride] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) is the national anthem of Garetolia. It was composed by Kelly Hansen in 1979, and was adopted by the Government of Garetolia in 1981.
Background
Karātōl'ikī Polek'o is one of only a few national anthems without lyrics. Prime Minister Kalano Palik and Hansen viewed lyrics as praise to the government, and that the Garetolian people should not be forced into singing it. Draft lyrics were written by Hansen in 1980, but were soon discarded.
