"The Ballad of Oglethorpia" is the national anthem of the Bureaucratic States of Oglethorpia. It was written in X574 by Henry Hughes-Schnell Whatson one year after the unification of Oglethorpia into the Bureaucratic States. In it, Whatson expressed his great pride in being an Oglethorpian and in general his nationalist sentiment. The lyrics are composed of the word "Oglethorpia" five times. However, when preformed life the anthem carries much greater impact, starting out speaking until at last the fifth repitition of the country's name is in full operatic swing accompanied by the robust vigor of an orchestra.
