Official flag:
The Official flag of Cyrenia is the Eldritch colours. It's official version also has the coat of arms in the centre but it is often shown without these.



Royal Family coat of arms. A cross is divided into four quarters, the bottom right showing a bright blue cross on a dark blue background, the bottom left showing a dragon, the top right showing a unicorn and the top left shows an image like the japanese imperial flag but with the white red and the red yellow. A Knight figure head precedes over this and at the bottom a scroll reads the national motto: accipio aetus opportunitas "Accept life's opportunities'.



National motto
see above. unofficial version is 'su anthropos su boethos' which means 'thy friend is thy helper" in Ancient Greek.



National Anthem
'Land of Hope and Glory' (Pomp and Circumstance)

Words by Sir Edward Elgar and Music by A.C. Benson
originally verse 2 came first but this was modified for the purpose of making the song more appropriate for its national role

Land of Hope and Glory,
Mother of the Free,
How shall we Extol thee,
Who are born of thee?
Wider still and Wider
Shall thy bounds be set
God who hath made thee mighty
Make the mightier yet

Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.
God make thee mightier yet!
On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned,
Once more thy crown is set.
Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,
Have ruled thee well and long;
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained,
Thine Empire shall be strong.

Thy fame is ancient as the days,
As Ocean large and wide:
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise,
A stern and silent pride:
Not that false joy that dreams content
With what our sires have won;
The blood a hero sire hath spent
Still nerves a hero son.

Tune can be heard here
