The Republic of Formosa was a short-lived republic that existed on the island of Taiwan in 1895 between the formal cession of Taiwan by the Qing dynasty of China to the Empire of Japan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki and its being taken over by Japanese troops. At the time the country didn't have an official national anthem but a tune like this would have suited well.
The Republicans adopted a national flag with a yellow tiger on a blue background, ordered a large silver state seal to be made, and began to issue paper money and postage stamps in the name of the Republic.

![Waving flag and National Anthem of Israel, Hatikvah
Hatikvah (Hebrew: הַתִּקְוָה, pronounced [hatikˈva], lit. English: The Hope) is a 19th-century Jewish poem and the national anthem of Israel. The theme of the romantic composition reflects the Jews 2,000-year-old hope of returning to the Land of Israel and reclaiming it as a free and sovereign nation. Its lyrics are adapted from a poem by Naftali Herz Imber, a Jewish poet from Złoczów (today Zolochiv, Ukraine), which was then in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria under Austrian rule.
The flag of Israel (Hebrew: דגל ישראל Degel Yisrael; Arabic: علم إسرائيل ʿAlam Israʼīl) was adopted on 28 October 1948, five months after the establishment of the State of Israel. It depicts a blue hexagram on a white background, between two horizontal blue stripes. The blue stripes are intended to symbolize the stripes on a tallit, the traditional Jewish prayer shawl. The Star of David is a widely acknowledged symbol of the Jewish people and of Judaism. In Judaism, the colour blue symbolises Gods glory, purity and gevurah (Gods severity) (See: Blue in Judaism). The White field represents Chesed (Divine Benevolence).
