Masa Hoppinton Desu

***Masa Hoppinton Desu*** (***マーサ・ホッピントンです***, literally ***I'm Martha Hoppinton***) is a patriotic song and the de facto anthem of the Japanese Aschsene Autonomies. This song is about Dotty's Japanese-Korean background and her contributions to the Union.

## Info

It is directly based on *Het Wilhelmus* (*The* *William*) including its lyrics and the melody.

### Lyrics

私は獣人私は追放されます

私は幸せなダッチウサギです
私の祖国韓国へギーリーボジョンハーセー

watashi wa kemonohito watashi wa tsuiho sa remasu

watashi wa shiawasena datchiusagidesu

watashi no sokoku kankoku e giri bojonhase
I am a therianthrope hence I was banished1

I am a happy Dutch rabbit
 私たちの組合が戦争で崩壊するまで

神が彼の怒りをこの地球に送るまで

私は聖なるものすべてに誓います

私は私の国のために死ぬでしょう

kami ga kare no ikari o kono chikyū ni okuru made

watashi wa seinaru mono subete ni chikaimasu

watashi wa watashi no kuni no tame ni shinudeshou

Until God unleashes His wrath upon us

I swear to all of the gods4

I will die fighting for our country

1 This references the hate towards the furry community. Anthropomorphic animals are called therianthropes or kemonohito (beast people) in Japan. Although the furry community in Japan and generally in East Asia due to their beliefs in sentient animals and the mainstream media was actually *praised*, she is referring to the *Western* bloc of the community, especially when she first entered Britain before Aschsenland.

2 On its own *giri bojeonhase* (*kiri pojonhase*) just means *preserve the way*, with the *way* referring to the Korean way referred to in both North and South Korean *aegukga* (*aegukka*). In other words, it could just simply mean *Korean brothers, preserve the way* bilingually.

3 There were numerous civil wars in the Union. So far none of them compromised the stability of the Union.

4 Literally means *I swear to all that is holy*. Supports the previous line about a deity (referring to the Abrahamic God) purging the Earth. It vaguely collectively refers to every religion, as almost every religion including the Abrahamic religions believe in purging of mankind at the end of time.

## Coverage

### *In Object Initialisation*

This song usually plays (almost never without lyrics to differentiate it with Het Wilhelmus since the Union has never had anything significant going on with the Netherlands) whenever:

* Dotty or any of her children that resemble her (such as Martha Jnr or Lily-of-the-Valley) show up in a dramatic way;
* Any of the contestants show loyalty to CarmSoc, the House of Hoppington via Martha or is generally centrically egalitarian. This is different from being communist, as being commie means you desire total control by the government over the funds of its nation to let it divide it (hopefully) equally to its citizens,; whilst egalitarians just desire equal rights and priorities across the human spectrum. The Union is generally centre-left.

## Trivia

* While Dotty was indeed born in Japan as a Japanese rabbit belonging to a Japanese rabbit litter, her family emigrated just three months after to South Korea after learning of its resurrecting economy in the eighties. Nonetheless, even though Dotty was taught Korean most of her lifetime (even swearing in it), instead of this song being in Korean, it is in Japanese instead, to highlight what's left of her subconscious knowledge of Japanese.
	+ However, she still has Korean blood; her father is a Korean which had his name anglicised like her daughter's. Dotty's name was Kitamura Momoi.
* This being a parody of the national anthem of the Netherlands might be a reference to Dotty's breed, which are *Dutch* rabbits, despite them being first bred in *England* then redistributed there later on.
