Song to the Communist Party of the Hashtag

The ***Song to the Communist Party of the Hashtag*** (Aschsene: ***Das Kantavmnidam Partijakomunistitʃeskixmnidae Xaʃgixo*** (***Das Kantavmnidam Partiyakomunisticheskikhmnida Hashgiho***, literally ***The Song of the Hash Sign Communist Party***) is an anthem for the Communist Party of the Hashtag, one of the governing bodies of Aschsenland.

## Info

This anthem could be heard everytime the *only* television station in Aschsenland signs on whenever there is a holiday, such as Christmas (and as a result would play in every sign-on from December 20 until January 3 every year), the birthday of Matt and the birthdays of the four main rabbits. Right after the anthem plays the national anthem of Aschsenland, which is God Save the Queen due to its uncanny proximity in the United Kingdom. The anthem will be played slowly when it is the day of when the Soviet Union has fallen (coincidentally 25 December) or when someone in the Party dies. It will be twice as slow when somehow one of the main rabbits die. This is shown in Inside Your Computer, when it is played so painfully slowly in the background in an episode wherein Carmen was killed from a stampede for the rest of it from her death.

What makes it interesting is that it uses the exact melody from the Aegukga of the Republic of Korea. Most Korean people in Aschsenland, including Yeorin, would be utterly confused whenever the anthem is played and would sing their Aegukga instead of the Song.

What's even more interesting is that *there are virtually no official lyrics to this song*. Some reasons are so that the Korean people in Aschsenland that might be homesick may still be reminded of their homeland, albeit only during Christmas season, that no one could fit some Aschsene words in the song since most Aschsene words are extremely long, and that the four main rabbits did nothing yet to protect the nation in its measly nine years of existence. However, the recommended lyrics are the exact same lyrics from *Aegukga*, but with references to (South) Korea replaced with either communism or Aschsenland (e.g. 동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록 (*Until the East Sea and Mt Baektu pass away* [...]) becomes 공산주의 날까지 마르고 닳도록 (appx. *Until the day where communism dries out*)):

하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세.

무궁화 삼천리 화려 강산,
대한 사람, 대한으로 길이 보전하세.
May God protect and preserve our country.

Roses of Sharon and three thousand *Ri* full of splendid mountains and rivers;
Great Koreans, to the Great Korean way, always stay true.
하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세.

*삼천리 아름다운 내 조국*,
*악센* 사람, *사회주의* 길이 보전하세.
May God protect and preserve our country.

*This is my beautiful fatherland of 3000 li* (1500 km),
*Aschsene* people, remain true to the path of *socialism*.

There have also been plans to use the *North* Korea's Aegukka's melody instead, but it was more of a march than it was a solemn song that the Party have imagined for their anthem.

## Appearances

### In *Inside Your Computer*

The anthem plays whenever Dotty appears in the show. This shows how Dotty is significant to the nation - even more significant than Matt himself - since she was regarded as the *Jill of all Trades* which points out her ability to perform everything with excellence. This is a reference to her character's description in Animal Crossing:

> *She wants to be a star, and she's not particular about what fields she makes it big in. Singing, acting, sports—the important thing is that everyone knows her name!*
> - Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
>
>

And it seemed to work, as literally everywhere has the name *Martha*, including propaganda that appear regularly everywhere in Eastern Covidneighton where the show takes place. And, as mentioned earlier, it also played when Carmen was killed from a stampede due to a revolution in the episode where it happened.
