Wow, this is interesting. ;D "Molitva Russkikh" (The Prayer of the Russians) In use: 1816-1833 Russia's first anthem used the same melody as the British "God Save the King", and, like the British anthem, was also a hymn to the ruler."www.nationalanthems.info/ru-33.htm.

UK and Lichtenstein have the same anthems and a host of southern African nations use variations on the South Africa one (God Bless Africa). But at least none are Ireland's Call!
