So, the words are all mentioned, but the landmasses are not? That legend is confusing. πŸ€’πŸ˜…

It doesn't even mention Spain?!

The US national anthem also contains no country names, including the US itself.

It does explicity reference America and Britain though. More so in the original poem from which the song was derived. It was written about some battle during the war of 1812 that he (Francis Key) witnessed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcha_Real

The Marcha Real (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmaΙΎtΚƒa reˈal]; lit. 'Royal March') is the national anthem of Spain. It is one of only four national anthems in the world – along with those of Bosnia and Herzegovina, San Marino and Kosovo – that have no official lyrics.[2] Although many different lyrics have been made for it in the past, it has never had official lyrics as a national anthem.[3]

This seems, as the kids say, sus.

Guess they thought singing about something could go wrong in the future. Looks like they were right to me!
