Norway (royal anthem)
"Kongesangen" (Royal Song)

Words by: N. Fogtmann
Music by: unknown
Adopted: 1905

Like other Scandinavian countries with monarchs (such as Denmark and Sweden), Norway also has a royal anthem. Adopted the year of Norwegian independence, the words are set to a recognizable monarchial piece of music, the same anthem as that of the United Kingdom and it's royal family, "God Save the Queen". (This choice may have been influenced by the royal anthem of Sweden, its neighbour from which it won independence; as its royal anthem before 1893 was also to the same tune.)
