Land of blue seas, land of green hills

Land of blue seas, land of green hills

Raise high your banner
National anthem of Imagua and the Assimas
Lyrics	Joseph Sedgewick, 1937
Music	Samuel Barry, 1898
Adopted	1937

Raise high your banner (Etrurian: Alza il tuo stendardo, Imaguan Creole: Din hoy laga) is the national anthem of Imagua and the Assimas, being adopted when the Constitution of Imagua and the Assimas was promulgated in 1937. Written by Joseph Sedgewick in 1937, it was set to the melody of a patriotic song composed in the 1890s to celebrate the Colony of Imagua being granted self-government by Estmere.

It has remained the national anthem of Imagua and the Assimas unchanged, although an Etrurian language translation by Evaldo Faillace was recognized in 1952. It is only officially performed in Estmerish and Etrurian, especially in schools, government events, and on television and radio, although in unofficial settings, it is not uncommon for it to be performed in Imaguan Creole.
