Victoria Martii (Pacifica)
The Victory March (Victoria Martii) is the national anthem of the Confederation of Livana. The lyric was written by an anonymous writer, presumably from Cinis due to its dialect, amidst the Revolutionary Wars of the 1830s. The tune was set into the marching drum of Livonia in the Battle of Gutthingen, the climax of the war. The lyric consisted of two stanzas, the first one to be repeated after the second stanza is read. Between each stanzas, a chorus is sung repeating the same two lines.

The tune and the lyric was officially decreed as the national anthem in the 1848 Republican Constitution. Later, it was decreed again as the national anthem during the constitutional reforms of the 1980s. The song's copyright is officially owned by the government, however the government allowed the song to be shared freely, on the condition that it is "... not to be defamed, parodied, and sold for financial gains...".
