Cup of Eternal Silver, Underneath the aegis of heaven, All of civilization will cease to toil, United in happiness and mirth. As long as the Yin rules, Our empire is emblazoned by light, And our boundaries are vast and preserved. The sky stretches infinitely, The sea brims with turbulence.

Ten Thousand Nations (Yinguonese: 萬國, Wànguó), is the national anthem of Yinguo. It was composed during the Second Great War by an officer in the Imperial High Command, and it became popular among the soldiers and the general population, being played during the victorious return of the Imperial Court and the Emperor to the capital of Tianjing following the defeat of the Zhenian occupation. The song's popularity eventually led to the Imperial Court voting to adopt it as the national anthem of the country in 1945.
