Rule brittania!

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!
When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter of the land,
And Guardian Angels sang this strain:
The nations not so blest as thee
Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish great and free:
The dread and envy of them all.
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke,
As the loud blast that tears the skies
Serves but to root thy native oak.
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame;
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous flame,
But work their woe and thy renown.
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine;
All thine shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles, thine.
The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coasts repair.
Blest isle! with matchless beauty crowned,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!

I’m sure you think you’re being clever and inferring a servitude to the Royal family, but just maybe there’s hope some folks know that it is derived from the name of the largest island.

Yeah, the Romans say, "hello."

Yea. Let’s remember why it’s called Britain and not whatever Picts, scots, welsh, or other celts were there first.

England is a real nation. America is a nation of ideas. America is not really a nation.

Fun fact. The United States is the only country to ever win independence from England in a war
