"Karuku Cheri Peji" (Estmerish: "Carucere Beloved Country"), also known by its incipit, "Karuku nou bel patri" (Estmerish: "Carucere our beautiful homeland"), is the national anthem of Carucere. The music was composed by Henri Weber in 1934, inspired by a popular folk tune commonly sung in Crique for decades and adapted it to sing with an old poem written by Garcin Jones. By the 1950s, the tune was widely popular across Carucere and was used as a popular nationalist song as an alternative to In Plenty and In Time of Need, the anthem of the United Provinces. After Carucere's independence in 1962, the country lacked an official national anthem until its adoption as the Carucerean national anthem on 18 March 1973.
