Adding the national anthems to the factbook sites
I have a new suggestion for the factbook sites:
Why not add the national anthems to this site so you can listen to it while you're looking on it. 
You can add the anthems like Wikipedia does, with a simple button. ( ---> under the flag on the right side)
You could not just look to Flagcounter, you could also listen to it. For flags like Mayotte, Guernsey or Bermuda you can add the regional anthem if there is one, or just take the anthem from the country (France, United Kingdom)
Just vote for it if you support this idea

That is a neat idea
I will look into whether we can do this or not (there might be issues obtaining any necessary right to use the anthems)

Yes, this should be proved. I think the anthems from WIkipedia are common right (public domain), but I don't know the exactly terms of use...any lawyers here?

Re: Adding the national anthems to the factbook sites
National anthems themselves are not copyrighted. They are in the public domain, or they were composed so long ago that any copyright has expired. But I see this becoming a political issue, and also ppl don't always like sound when they go to a site. They may be at work etc.

Re: Adding the national anthems to the factbook sites
i personally think its a silly waste of time....but thats my opinion.
go to google if you so badly wanna hear a national anthem.
this is a flag site.....not a country information site.....whats next??

The anthem won't play automatically, just my pressing the button, as I mentioned above.

@ Jeremy:
Do you want to add the anthems or would this be too much work? Just let me know, if my idea is still actual
