"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 1936, 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 nationalist 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 one until the song's adoption as the Carucerean national anthem on 18 March 1973.
History
After the Great War, Carucere was incorporated into the Arucian Federation, along with other former Gaullican colonial possessions. The federation enjoyed was strongly opposed by the non-white population of Carucere who overwhelmingly supported independence and self-rule. Musician and poet Henri Weber was inspired to make a nationalist song for the growing opposition movement.
